Superior Carnage

Superior Carnage is a story serial created by BIONICLEToa in response to his lack of Marvel-based projects. Superior Carnage follows the Carnage symbiote's strive to find a superior host after the death of Cletus Kasady.



Chapter 1
“JARVIS, for the last time, there’s no other humans on the perimeter.”

Tony Stark was right, of course. There wasn’t another human anywhere near the perimeter of Star Tower. None of the cameras detected it, and none of the heat signatures for a human picked up either.

“But sir, I am distinctly picking up cellular information of a human. I don’t know where exactly, but it’s somewhere INSIDE the building.”

Stark pauses. “What do you mean by inside?” he asks.

“I mean, inside the main wiring. It’s moving fast, sir.”

Tony looks across the room and sees a switch. He points his finger at it while wearing a strange technological glove.

“JARVIS,” Tony asks, “can you please turn on the extinguisher in all the wires?”

“Will do sir.”

Meanwhile, a gooey red and black glob was inching around the wires of the inside of Stark Tour, getting closer and closer to Tony Stark’s room.

Must… Bond…

However, it did not expect a freezing cold mist to start surrounding it. The symbiote squealed due to the rapid temperature change.

Stark smiles. “JARVIS, can you pinpoint anything in the building now?”

JARVIS begins to scan, showing a bar on Tony Stark’s screen quickly changing from red to green. Then, the beeps begin. Stark places his hand on his desk. A picture blinks suddenly on the screen, and Stark takes a sharp look. A red and black glob shivers in the cold.

“This must be one of Spider-Man’s friends,” Stark concluded. “JARVIS, do you think we can contain this symbiote?”

“I think, sir, we should identify which symbiote it is.”

Stark rubs his chin. “Good idea, JARVIS. Scan the creature. It might be one of the new spawned ones. There’s so many symbiotes around these days in New York you don’t know which one is which.”

JARVIS scans the creature while it remains dormant in the wiring of Stark Tower. Then, upon Stark’s screen comes dozens and dozens of files of NYPD’s info on serial killings and then pictures of the original host. Dozens of pictures of Spider-Man fighting the creature also pop up. In between the mix is an editorial by J. Jonah Jameson on the symbiotes, on how they were a “spawn of Spider-Demon himself!”

“Cletus Kasady,” Tony Stark muses. “That serial killer from such a long time ago. But Kasady was shot by the Punisher a week ago, is that correct?”

“I believe so, sir.”

“We must have found his little buddy. Keep the symbiote contained, Jarvis. I wanna send it over to Reed Richards immediately.”

“Mr. Stark, we’d have to get the symbiote out of the wiring first.”

“Right…”

Tony pulls up a map of the internal structure of Stark Tower.

“JARVIS, show me where exactly this thing is?”

JARVIS pin-points it on the map. Stark looks at the screen corresponding to the spot. Stark’s eyes widen.

“Uh, JARVIS?” Tony asks. “The symbiote is gone.”

Trivia

 * There are a few differences from the 616 continuity in this. The biggest one is that The Punisher (Frank Castle) actually KILLS Cletus Kasady shortly before the first chapter began. Other differences will come up.
 * BIONICLEToa decided to go with the title "Superior Carnage" due to him thinking it would be a good way to coincide with some of the "Superior" titles Marvel has been doing. (Despite him rather not liking some of them.)
 * This story takes place in Earth-3.
