Notes:

Cletus Kasady became Carnage in Amazing Spider-Man #360. His original symbiote was destroyed in #363, but it was revealed in Spider-Man Unlimited (1st series) #1 that his altered metabolism could recreate the symbiote biomass and abilities from his bloodstream at will. Subsequent exposure to new symbiotes has seemingly reincarnated Carnage's symbiote as a detachable symbiotic entity.

He was believed dead after Sentry tore him in half in New Avengers (1st series) #2, but survived thanks to his symbiote and was revealed to be alive in Carnage #3.
