Massacre from evil to god
The dark path to godhood has begun for one of the most feared characters in the Marvel Universe. Known for his insatiable thirst for violence, Carnage has set his sights on an even greater goal: to become a true god.
Awakening of the Bloodthirsty God.
Immersed in a world where immortality and power are a common commodity, Carnage, also known as Cletus Cassady, finds himself at a unique crossroads. After several resurrections, this cruel creature begins to doubt his own identity: is he immortal? Can a being of his stature ascend to divinity?
In the latest adventure, Carnage #1, we find a transformed carnage from the work of Torun Gronbeck, Pere Perez, Eric Arciniga, and Joe Sabino. It’s not just random killing anymore; Now, he wants to inspire and attract followers, to convince the world of his unique vision.
Potential god tools
While the image of genocide has always been synonymous with terror and brutality, there are those who see in it the potential for redemption. But in the new look, the symbiote wants not only redemption, but worship. His plan is to build a cult around himself so that he becomes a respected entity.
It’s not the first time that Carnage finds himself in the center of a cult. In Web of Venom: Carnage Born , by Donny Katz and Danilo Beirut, he is resurrected by Knull’s cult, seeing him as a messiah. This is not only a sign of his influence, but also a realization of his immortality.
From evil to divinity
Carnage’s story is intertwined with one of Marvel’s most popular anti-heroes, Venom. As the symbiote descended from Venom, Carnage inherited a more aggressive and chaotic nature. This common root represents a dark evolution in the symbiote universe, with Carnage representing a more extreme and violent version. His transformation from a mere mortal to a body that aspires to divinity is a reflection of his endless lust and thirst for power.
In the wider Marvel universe, entities based on Norse gods such as Thor and Loki have confirmed the existence of gods. Massacre, in its quest to join this pantheon, creates a striking contrast. Unlike these creatures who seek balance and justice, Carnage represents the darker, more chaotic side of God. His rise brings into focus the balance between good and evil in Marvel mythology, giving a new dimension to the narrative of gods and monsters.
From the hustle and bustle
Since its inception, the symbiote has been a reflection of the darkest part of the human soul. His origins, linked to Cletus Cassady, an unscrupulous serial killer, show a sly nature in his character. This merging of the human psyche with an alien symbiote creates unimaginable power and brutality. This entry into a body that seeks divinity is an indication of the thirst and desire for power.
In contrast to the symbiote, other Marvel characters such as Venom and Spider-Man represent internal struggles between good and evil, but always in a moral sense. Cletus, on the other hand, lacks this conflict, completely surrendering to his basic inner self. This difference makes him a unique character in the Marvel Universe, one who not only challenges heroes, but also the concepts of morality and redemption.
Create your own temple of terror
Now, Cletus Cassady, far from being a caretaker in a game of great gods like Knull, wants to start his own church. At this point he seeks to become a cult, gathering followers under his bloodthirsty creed.
Carnage #1 is available now from Marvel Comics, where this journey to godhood is just beginning. Not only does Cletus challenge the limits of evil, but he now enters the realm where worship and devotion can be elevated to the level of the divine. A change that not only redefines the character, but also creates a dramatic shift in the Marvel Universe’s tapestry.
