Carnage is so powerful he changed Woody Harrelson's hairstyle.

[BarryBruh]

fun fact carnage is strong enough to break a number 2 pencil in half!

[thefanwithoutaface]

Considering he's stronger than either Spider man or Venom that means he's atleast capable of lifting over 200 tons. And that's without factoring the blades, tendrils and other crazy shit he can do.

[trevorghalt]

Venom: Fear me
Carnage: I fear no one
Toxin: Hey how y'all been
*Venom* *and* *Carnage* *both* *screaming*

[lwandleduma]

Carnege is so powerful he is easily one of my favorite villains in comics

[treyvonwilliams]

Superhuman Strength: Cletus Kasady was an individual of slightly above average conditioning. After bonding with his symbiote, he acquired physical strength exceeding that of Spider-Man and Venom combined, letting him easily lift in excess of 80 tons.

[flimflammer]

Just pointing out that Carnage survived being torn in half by the Sentry

If you guys have been reading the comics dated back to the late 90's then you already know how powerful Carnage is and what he's capable of. 👍

He is so powerful that he died very quickly. I’m actually disappointed that he was killed very quick. I was actually hoping he would be kept alive for another appearance in Venom 3. It would had been cool to actually see Venom & Spider-Man team up to take on Carnage and possibly Toxin in Venom 3. I actually think they made this version of Carnage weak in Venom 2.

[nickpeterson]

Carnage was able to gross out the Joker that’s how scary he is. From Dc vs Marvel.

[frederickschiller]

Carnage is terrifyingly strong, which shows how dangerous Toxin must be, because toxin is stronger than both Venom and Carnage combined.

Edit: it seems that Venom has been given several massive buffs making him stronger than Toxin, so there’s that. I still believe that Toxin has incredible potential and could probably get to Venoms level

[thealjohnsonshow]

*"Kasady is gone. There is only Carnage!!!"*

[brandonboyz]

The MOVIE WAS GREAT and the after credit scene was GEEK OUT CENTRAL

[mariomaritnez]

Carnage is one of the few villains i'm afraid seeing my favorite heroes fight. Spider-Man has fought him one on one and won but at great risk. It's awesome to see but man it's nail-biting

[jorgecarbajal]

5:30 Carnage uses his tendrils to *save* people from gunfire. That seems rather odd for a psychotic serial killer to do. I request elaboration.

[maskedman]

I believe that both venom’s and carnage’s strong regeneration abilities is due to the fact that venom was briefly bonded to Deadpool shortly before Spider-Man had the venom symbiote

[jamaaldawkins]

The last example doesn’t exactly make any kind of sense for carnage’s base power set. Seriously, I don’t remember taking over techno-mutants/mutates like Trinary, or Sage

[andrewgarrett]

Damn. If Carnage were real, then trolls on the Internet would go extinct.

[saintakins]

Basically if written into canon Carnage can be the Marvel Universe version of something out of Resident Evil.
Like I said before Carnage is almost dangerous as Ultron in Marvel Comics & the MCU.

[ayflames]

I loved how in the movie. SPOILERS

















That Carnage actually used his ability to go into a computer. When I saw it I was like “ I can’t believe they actually did that”
