Spider-Man Poster #58 vs Carnage by Mark Bagley

Description

Mark Bagley (born August 7, 1957) is an American comic book artist. He has worked for Marvel Comics and DC Comics on such titles as The Amazing Spider-Man, Thunderbolts, New Warriors, and Ultimate Spider-Man. Carnage (Cletus Kasady) is a supervillain enemy of Spider-Man. The character was created by writer David Michelinie and artist Mark Bagley, based on elements of the precursor character Venom. As Eddie Brock explained, the Carnage symbiote was born with abilities even more singular than those of its progenitor—due to the fact that it gestated in an environment alien to it—Earth. The alien symbiote endows Cletus Kasady with enhanced physical strength greater than that of Spider-Man and Venom combined8 and shape-shifting abilities, allows him to project a web-like substance from any part of his body including the formation of weapons, and enables him to plant thoughts into a person’s head using a symbiote tendril. Much like Spider-Man, Kasady has the ability to cling to virtually any surface, and has a version of Spider-Man’s spider-sense, as the symbiote can relay information to him from any angle and grants Kasady the ability to “see” in any direction, warning him of incoming threats. He can rapidly crawl, walk, or run across even slick surfaces. The Carnage symbiote has similar abilities of that of Spider-Man’s as a direct result of the Venom symbiote’s first host, Peter Parker, who transferred some of Spider-Man’s power into the symbiote. From 1992…over 20 years old!
