Awww -- ain't that sweet? He misses me! Well, don't cry, daddy dearest -- 'cause your sonny boy -- is ALIVE AND WELL!
I've shown you the worst things in the world, because that's what the world's made of. Everything is sick! Am I getting through to you? Everything is sick... and I LOVE IT!
You shouldn't have brought your girlfriends, Spidey-Boy...this is between you and me...or at least it was...
You think-- what?-- You can grow yourself an army of Carnage-soldiers in the body banks? Trust me. One of me is plenty.
It's your friendly neighborhood Carnage-Man! Carnage-Man! Carnage-Man! Doing all the things a Carnage can!
We are all born into this world through blood and pain. It takes a special person to rise above it. Every hero has an origin. Your parents getting murdered is the best way to start. My old man wasted my mom right in front of me. Or was it my stepdad and my foster mom? I don't know. I remember things wrong sometimes, but it all works if it feels right. Orphanages are good, too. But really any terrible place to incubate will work. You just need one beacon in the dark. One person to show your true face to. Where your heart can be broken and your innocence lost. Then you kill that one good thing to perfect the pointlessness of the universe. No. I don't like that. That's wrong. There is meaning It's not pointless. Not anymore. Her death makes the hero embrace his fate. I've done so much wrong and it hurts so bad. Guilt! nearly more than I can stand. I will save the world now. Because I couldn't save her. But how can I possibly be redeemed? How can I ever be loved? I must find a way...
This is her true final lesson. This is what I must understand. To be good. To be a hero-- I must be alone.
Everybody says ["I don't want to die alone"]. But in my experience, push comes to shove... it isn't the "alone" part people want to avoid. It's the dying.
Brock, it's you in there, right? Always knew we'd meet again, Daddy Dearest. Or should I call you "Junior"? Gotta admit, this father-son-grandson mess gives me a headache.
Thing is, Jujubee, crazy or not, this book has power. It changed us. I mean, me. I mean, Cletus Kasady. Not Carnage. But also Carnage. The book changed both of us -- Cletus and Carnage.
This ain't me! This ain't who I am! This ain't my other! Stand between me and my real self, I'll slaughter every damn one of you! You hear me, baby? I'm comin' for ya!
Cletus Kasady is dead. Long live Cletus @#$%&@ Kasady. Piloting my new Carnage machine into every gaping hole in the mannequin-filled city. Kill enough and I awake my god. And then this world falls under a waterfall of blood and enters a new universe of dark. And hoo-boy, I will be there. Sucking the last sweet shivering breaths out of its rotting, maggot-filled, bloated corpse. Dancing all silly and spine-broken to the universe's death rattle. I am the gore emperor of a thousand dead stars. I am a new colossus of bleeding red megadeath. I am the red right hand of the King in Black. I am the end of the world as you @#$%&&# know it... and I feel like a drink.
Don't you know who I am?! I was born of chaos. I feed off of violence and depravity. Playing me back my greatest hits only makes me more excited. Makes me realize how much I love what I do!
Did you know that my mother went through electroshock treatments when she was pregnant with me? This was before they would sedate you for that kind of thing... and then, you know... I died minutes after I was born... went to Hell... came back... that whole thing... I've had therapists try to tell me that these "early traumas" led me to being... the way I am. I've heard it all, you know... I'm this way because of abuse, because of video games, or sex and violence on TV, because of guns and knives and the wickedness of this mean old world. But what none of them get... is those things didn't make me what I am. I am made... of them. I am abuse. I am sex and violence. I am the guns and knives and the wickedness of this mean @#$%#&% world... you know my name. Now scream it.
Every fiber of your feline is in my power. Her thoughts are my thoughts, her form does my bidding. The cat you once knew is gone. And now? She's her master's keeper.
A deal? Eddie... if you don't think that we will take you and make you watch, powerless, through your own eyes as your body shuffles and dances to our song as it slits the throats of every baby on Earth... your really haven't been paying attention. Big threats, big man. You don't have the stones, Brock. You wouldn't hurt your precious other.
Sometimes I wonder what carnage they must be getting up to. But then I realize... they will see the truth that I saw when it all comes full circle. The twinkles in the sky are only the ghosts of dead stars. And there is nowhere in all of existence that is more beautiful or more real than my interior. Than inside this house. Here... right here. Still... as I craft a reality of my own making... I can choose to be God.
Kenneth--every wound has something new to teach ya. Like how that half-pint Spider-Teen did a number on this new body... he's gonna pay for that. With buckets of blood. But first, whatever he did is messing with my suit. I'm gonna sort it out. When I do... this whole town's gonna remember what it's like to have Carnage's claws around its throat!
Oh, Mac. Those normal folks out there... I can feel them--taste their endorphins fizzing like podium champagne. It's the glands, Hoss. They never lie. They've been waiting for this since the day it occurred to them just how easy it would be to stop their little brother from crying at night... since they first fantasized about taking a blowtorch to their boss's neck. I've freed them, Mac. I'm going to free all of them.
I'm done playing with the small fry. I need a bite at something bigger! I need to spread this thing far and wide! I need to spread real carnage!
I was hollowed out inside... empty... just like my other. We were both sick... because we were incomplete... but not anymore. We healed each other... made each other whole. Neither one of us can survive without the other. Forget host. Forget symbiote. There is only Carnage.
Who the hell do you think you are?Carnage
Let's do this thing! Carnage vs. Deadpool! Round two! Carnage
Is that right, Papa? And what am I supposed to do, huh? Am I supposed to be afraid? Is that what you want? You want me to cower?! Carnage
You can't beat them. You see? You're incomplete. You'll always be incomplete without the Carnage symbiote. What you are now? It's nothing compared to what Carnage has become. Don't you want that power? Don't you want to be... perfect? Kenneth Neely
Spider-Man!!! Come on down, you're the next victim of CARNAGE!
Someone's come to visit? Come to VIOLATE OUR SANCTUARY?!
