But now , Marvel Comics has just premise an all - new Carnage , one with a similar aspect and a familiar legion , but with a grievous added tycoon the original Carnage did n’t possess .
In a preview forGiant - Size Spider - Gwen#1 by Melissa Flores and Alba Glez , Earth-65 ’s Gwen Stacy and her band , the Mary Janes , are prepping for a show when one of the isthmus ’s members perfectly loses it . Mary Jane gets angry at Gwen for supposedly messing up on the drum , and in her passion , MJ unknowingly unleash her new - acquired other one-half : Carnage .
As Carnage , Mary Jane lashes out at Spider - Gwen as the superhero swing from the rafters of the concert locus , test to dodge and counterCarnage ’s deadly attackswithout harm Mary Jane . last ( with the aid of the other band members ) , Ghost - Spider and the bunch succeed in delivering an electric shock absorber to Carnage , which coerce her to return to Mary Jane .

Mary Jane’s Carnage Doesn’t Have Control Over Her Symbiote Like the Original
While it ’s exciting that Mary Jane has gotten this undeniably heroic upgrade , it is unfortunate that she does n’t get the same perks as everyone else who ’s ever bear a symbiote , as symbiotes and their hosts unremarkably work together upon achieving mutualism . mass murder , specifically , is the poster - child for full symbiosis , which is made clear by the fact that butchery bring up to himself as ‘ I ’ , not ‘ we ’ like Venom / Eddie Brock does . But even though Venom and Eddie Brock refer to themselves as ‘ we ’ , the personality ‘ Venom ’ only exists because of the symbiosis reach by both Eddie Brock and his symbiote .
Basically , symbiotes and their hosts usually ferment together , and the host can call upon their symbiote ( or revert to normal ) at will . However , Mary Jane does not own that grade of control over her Carnage symbiote . Instead , she gets a unique ‘ power ’ associated with her symbiote : it only comes out when she acquire furious , and totally take over when it does .
The ‘Power’ Mary Jane’s Carnage Has Makes Sense, Given Her ‘Creator’
Spider-Gwen: Smash #3 by Melissa Flores and Enid Balám
Giant - Size Spider - Gwen#1 picks up where the on-going seriesSpider - Gwen : Smashleaves off following the comedian ’s third issue . In that issue , Bruce Banner ( an alternating variation , who is an evil scientist ) abducts Mary Jane and infects her with this Carnage symbiote . Mary Jane ’s slaughter is n’t the first goliath create by Earth-65 ’s Bruce Banner , either , as he also turnedRick Jones into Marvel Comics ’ new Hulkin this universe . And , interestingly enough , Mary Jane ’s Carnage acts a set like the Hulk , as she ca n’t insure when her alter ego is unleashed , and it only takes over when she scram angry .
Mary Jane may be Marvel Comics ’ new Carnage , but her alone power makes her more consanguine to a Hulk than a classic symbiote host . Mary Jane ca n’t even find foiled during a stressful banding warm - up without ‘ Hulking - out ’ intoCarnage , and truthfully - especially after seeing it in action in this prevue - that ’s absolutely heartrending .
