History[]

Gwen's death at the hands of Carnage
After finding out that Peter Parker was Spider-Man, Dr. Curt Conners wanted to find a way to "help" him. He used Peter's DNA (which unfortunately also had traces of the Venom Symbiote in it as well) Curt created something entirely new, a life form that was forced to feed on others to survive, similar to a vampire.
When trying to find it's "father" Peter Parker, in Queens,it came across Gwen Stacy and killed her by sucking the life out of her. A devastated and angered Peter battled Carnage across the rooftops in the night, where they managed to land in an open intersection of the city. Carnage absorbed two surprised policemen,and morphed into a twisted replica of Peter's father, Richard Parker.
In a "final" confrontation, Peter gained the upper-hand, throwing Carnage down a smokestack into open flame, and supposedly killing it.
Death[]
Carnage reappears in the form of a cloned Gwen Stacy, and during an encounter with Venom, Venom absorbs the Carnage symbiote into itself. Making Venom "complete", and killing Carnage for good.
