Learn about Carnage's origin in Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, created from Peter Parker's blood and Richard Parker's suit formula.
Carnage's existence is a direct consequence of Peter Parker's actions, as it was grown from a sample of his own blood. When Peter provided a blood sample to Dr. Curt Conners for study, Conners combined it with chemicals from Richard Parker's "suit" formula. This formula was previously responsible for Spider-Man's black costume and Venom. The resulting mixture evolved into a monstrous entity driven solely by instinct, surviving by draining the life force of anyone it encountered.
Spider-Man initially believed he had destroyed Carnage within an industrial furnace, but the creature resurfaced and was defeated again with assistance from S.H.I.E.L.D. Following this, S.H.I.E.L.D. has reportedly been conducting its own experiments involving the creature.
