Kenneth Neely

Kenneth Neely is a human character introduced in the 2022 Carnage series, drawn into the terrifying orbit of the symbiote killer Carnage. He appears across Marvel's darker street-level and symbiote-focused storylines, crossing paths with figures like Spider-Man and Miles Morales.

Kenneth Neely burst onto the Marvel scene in 2022's Carnage #1, the debut issue crafted by the acclaimed Ram V and Francesco Manna that launched one of the Modern Age's most unsettling corners of the Spider-Man universe. With 24 catalog appearances spanning Carnage, Miles Morales: Spider-Man, and Carnage Reigns Alpha, Neely has carved out a genuine presence in some of Marvel's darkest recent storytelling. He keeps extraordinarily intense company — Carnage, Cletus Kasady, Spider-Man, Miles Morales, and Scorpion all share his pages — which tells you everything about the high-stakes, visceral world he inhabits. If you've been following Marvel's symbiote saga through the Modern Age, Kenneth Neely is a name worth tracking down.
