Carla Unger was a researcher working for Morse Laboratories , who was investigating a sample of the Carnage symbiote provided to Morse by Spider-Man . When analyzing a fraction of the sample, she received a phone call from her abusive husband, Will . The tissue sample reacted to her hatred of him and entered her body through her left eye. Carla burned the rest of the sample and left to her house, as she was being waited for by Will. Upon returning home, Carla went to her bathroom since she felt ill. As Will aggressively talked to her from the other side of the door, the Carnage symbiote influenced Carla into killing Will. She then attacked the facility of Morse Laboratories and escaped to a gasoline station outside the city, in which the symbiote left her for a new host after having consumed Carla from the inside out. With this new host, Carnage killed Carla. https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Carla_Unger_(Earth-616) ------------------------------ Carnage is a fictional supervillain ap...

The symbiote went on to merge with other hosts, beginning with Eddie Brock , its second and most infamous host, with whom it first became Venom. Originally a villain an...

The Symbiote went on to merge with other hosts, most notably  Eddie Brock , its second and most infamous host, with w...
