Deadpool, seeking psychiatric help, comes across Dark Carnage's cult and burns the institute down - forcing Dark Carnage to relocate to his lair under Manhattan. Misty Knight - who had been captured by Jameson - manages to escape and contacts Iron Fist, who rallies the other heroes who opposed Carnage during his first attempt to conquer Manhattan to rescue her. Dark Carnage claims Ravencroft Institute as a base of operations and sacrifices Shriek to resurrect the Demogoblin. Spider-Man and Venom barely manage to escape and begin searching for the various heroes, antiheroes, and villains who have bonded to symbiotes. Attacking the institute, Dark Carnage infects the inmates with pieces of the Dark Carnage symbiote to turn them into a horde of four-armed Carnage Doppelgängers, and bonds Norman Osborn to an offshoot of the Dark Carnage symbiote to turn him into a replica of his original Carnage form. Anticipating this, Dark Carnage has John Jameson - who he had infected with the Dark Carnage symbiote while slaughtering Doverton - kill the staff and set up a trap.
Peter and Eddie refuse and set out to retrieve Norman Osborn - who had bonded to the Carnage symbiote as the Red Goblin and now believes himself to be Cletus Kasady - from Ravencroft Institute before Carnage can do so. Reluctantly allying with Spider-Man, Eddie contacts the Maker - who has built a codex-extracting machine in Rex Strickland's Warehouse and wants to test it on Normie Osborn, one-time host of the Carnage symbiote. Despite rebonding to the Venom symbiote, Eddie is outmatched and only able to escape by exploiting the Dark Carnage symbiote's weakness to electricity. Infiltrating Ryker's Island, Dark Carnage kills Lee Price - attempting to frame Eddie Brock - before hunting Eddie and his son down. The theft of the corpse of Thaddeus Ross draws the attention of the Hulk, who begins investigating out of concern that something more sinister might be involved and discovers the mass grave, reporting it to the authorities. Succumbing to Knull's corruption, the Riot, Agony, Phage, and Lasher symbiotes take over a family of four and set out for New York. ĭuring the War of the Realms, Dark Carnage sets up a lair underneath Manhattan, establishing a second Spire.
Over the course of several months, "Dark Carnage" conquers the Underground City that Venom had once protected and sets up a Spire of living abyss to serve as an amplifier for his new hive-mind and claims the codices of the city of Doverton, Alejandra Jones, Leonard Elkhart, numerous Weapon V personnel, and countless deceased former hosts whose desecrated bodies the cult deposits in a mass grave.
Resurrected by a cult dedicated to the worship of Knull and bonded to a piece of the deific primordial Grendel symbiote, Cletus Kasady begins hunting everyone who ever bonded to a symbiote in order to claim their codices - trace remnants of symbiote left in their bodies.
