Suggested by Captain Epic
For the sake of argument, let’s say that Carnage not only ‘copies’ the powers for later hosts, but also amplifies them, like Venom did with Spider-man.
What impact would this have on the Marvel world?
Would the Avengers even be able to stop him?
Would anything even change in Warhammer 40,000?
What monstrosities would be produced when this Symbiote produces offspring?

wow………..well, maybe Hulk could stop Kharn……maybe….the carnage though (no pun intended) would be insane….

He would be tougher to stop then usual but the Avengers have faced far more dangerous foes then Kharn(even if he was a bit more powerful then usual) and Sentry would have no trouble taking him down. Wahammer 40K would be the same as usual though.

I really don’t think much would change.
I don’t think the damage Kharn + Carnage would do in the Marvel universe would be that spectacular. Yeah, he’d go out on a savage rampage effortlessly killing civilians and street level heroes. But it’s only a matter of time before a meta-human comes along and puts up a fight, while guys at Sentry’s level probably wouldn’t have to put up that much effort as long as they stay away from Gorechild. The damage he’d cause would be nothing compared to that caused by Onslaught or the World Breaker.
In WarHammer… there’s already so much carnage. I don’t think adding another one would make much of a difference.

Hmmm…. psycho maniac + strongest being (hero/villain?) in a universe=……..wat? i got nothing. All i can think of is a major wtf bomb to marvel, not so much for warhammer.

Ive never played whatever kharn is from but he seems to be some ultimate badass i think the symbiote would end up making him weaker.
October 23, 2009

haha, i bet after Khorne sees the CARNAGE unleashed, he’d order a symbiote for every Daemon Prince, Beserker, Champion….man o’ man…

“Hmmm…. psycho maniac + strongest being (hero/villain?) in a universe=……..wat? i got nothing. All i can think of is a major wtf bomb to marvel, not so much for warhammer.”
Kharn the Betrayer is NOWHERE near the strongest being in Warhammer 40K, there are so many more powerful then him that it’s funny.

Symbiotes tend to increase the strength, speed and insanity of the host do they not?
They also add a number of unique abilities (Stretchiness, morphing hands, arms etc into weaponry, adapting old skills into something more destructive)
I’m going to agree with those above. It just wouldn’t make that much difference to either universe. Although the Rampage these two went on would be sheer slaughter, eventually one faction would take them down.
Now, if the entire world eater legion were to be caught by hosts, that could be interesting.

oh, we have to think about the impact on the two universes…oh…missed that memo….
Question: could the new hybrid take on and win against Abaddon?
and didn’t carnage alone at one time take Superman, thor and ironman just to take him down? i’m no comic boff and so am reduced to asking those who know…

“Now, if the entire world eater legion were to be caught by hosts, that could be interesting.”
Would never happen.
Symbiotes stink too much of Tzeentch for the Blood God to allow his chosen legion to be infected by them. We would likely see a Legion-wide upgrade in the form of Daemonic Gifts being granted to all Berserkers.
I think that the entire legion getting Death Strike, Fury of Khorne, Hellblades, and most importantly, Blessing of the Blood God will deal with the alien spawns quite nicely. They will burn.

“I think that the entire legion getting Death Strike, Fury of Khorne, Hellblades,”
wo wo wo only khornes heralds and greater daemon get all that stuff. Berzerkers are problably imune already due to not having the right emtions. The symbiote makes the angry host take a more maniacal approach like targeting loved ones. When a berzeker gets angry it’s like texas chainsaw massacre only the guy with a chaisaw isn’t a cannible……welllllll……except on a certain chaos holiday.

“wo wo wo only khornes heralds and greater daemon get all that stuff. Berzerkers are problably imune already due to not having the right emotions.”
In the latest, crappy codex this is true, but the new codex doesn’t leave space for the various legions. World eaters get all those but the Hellblades.
And I’m pretty sure berzerkers have exactly the right mindset for symbiotes.
As to the tzeentchian stench… I’d going to have to disagree. Symbiotes do nothing but increase the physically attributes of the host, as well as the psychoticness. Basically a living form of the Lobotomies that berzerkers undergo. As far as know anyway, plus as we all know, Warhammer 40k is colour co-ordinated, and Carnage is red with black. All he needs is a little bronze and people’d assume he’s a Khornate daemon anyway.

Whoa whoa whoa, I suggested this one
My thoughts were, basically, take one of the most viscous super villains ever and make him worse. Wouldn’t expect much to change in the 40k universe… but Spidey go splat splat is all I have to say about affect in the Marvel Universe.
October 24, 2009

Yeah, Spiderman wouldn’t stand much of a chance against Kharnage…

“My thoughts were, basically, take one of the most viscous super villains ever and make him worse.”
..Viscous as in oozing liquid, or vicious as in violent?
Not that it matters much, for Carnage both are true

Hate double posting, but I have to ask, where did that Kharn pic come from… Because it looks likes its been done in Dawn of War Graphics… And if I’ve missed out on a Kharn Mod, I’ll be most unhappy.

“Kharnage”? Lol nice name. Still think it would own everyone. O and Tim, ty for clearing that up

That’s fine mate it’s not too big a mistake to make when many people on the site act he’s the strongest thing in 40K.

Kharnage would be so badass that he’d simply have to stare at most of the other denziens of Marvel to reduce them to puddles of emasculated goo. Extending limbs? Imagine being able to swing gorechild at a range of 100 feet or having his already stupid durability augmented even further with Regenration.

Question:
Could the new Kharnage take on, and win against, Abbadon…
i ask because i read somewhere once that Carnage alone once took on Thor, Superman and Ironman in a crossover issue once…and that to me sounds like badassity of the 4th kind
October 26, 2009

oh, asked that already…though didn’t get an answer… meaning i have to treble post…

Yes, There is a Kharn mod for Dawn of war.

He would be unstoppable. Kharn by himself was already “uber” but with the carnage symbotite would rock.
a question: can the carnage one get unlodged by high sound like the venom version? This would mean that Noise Marines can take him out. Even then, Kharn would get angry….

I think that Kharnage would be even more badass then kharn and khorne would be happy on his throne. maybe khorne would even make kharn a daemon prince and that combined with carnage would pretty much kick marvals ass. All that would happen was a lot more blood on what kharnage attacks but the universe as a whole wouldn’t change much.
October 28, 2009

In 40k universe the amount of slaughter wouldn’t be really notice compare to what something like virus bombs or full daemon incursion can do. a question about carnage; other than amplifying the powers and giving people new ones, what else can he do?
October 29, 2009
#33
carnage could begin to spawn half demon half symbiote offspring meaning instead of one super charged choas marine you could have an entire legion and generally symbiote children are more powerful than their parent
October 29, 2009
#34
also it would take aspects of kharn in its children so any one that joins with the new symbiote would become homicidal maniacs devoutly worshipping khorne so theoretically if it able to spawn quick enough it could lead to great number of people in the marvel universe becoming worshippers of khorne
inturn increasing his power and presence in the marvel universe

The Red Colour of Carnage Is from Blood as in Cassidys Blood which he mutated with those two were bonded so perfectly that they referred to themselves as I not we like Venom so if the Carnage Bonded as well as to Kharn I think that Noise Marines wouldn’t be a problem like they would be for Venom
