While sonic waves are a well-known ailment to the Klintar, fire has also proven to be a consistent weakness in their biology.
Seemingly going back to the beginning of their journey together, Cletus Kasady and Carnage began researching an Alchemax anti-symbiote weapon that even they weren’t immune to. However, word gets out that the deadly duo is on the hunt and their prey is doing everything in their power to stop Carnage and Cletus at all costs. However, Carnage is not only all-powerful, but he is patient. Meticulously, Carnage is kidnapping and experimenting on people to test what the weapon is capable of. Before starting their final trial, a mysterious figure detonates an incendiary drone, incinerating the experiments and the symbiote.
As Carnage and Cletus are shattered into chunks of gory red carrion, the duo persists, revealing their new immunity. Consumed by flames, the classic symbiote weakness does nothing, With the narration of the issue: “The fire cannot kill the symbiote, it only fuels its fury.” Marvel’s symbiotes, also known as the Klintar, are a versatile species with very few natural weaknesses. While sonic waves are a well-known ailment to the Klintar, fire has also proven to be a consistent weakness in their biology. However, these weaknesses, while strong against most symbiotes, are not technically physical frailties, they are psychosomatic.
Carnage’s fire immunity confirms the greatest weaknesses of symbiotes are not physical
Opinion over matter A god in all but name, and now completely immune to the Klintar’s natural weaknesses, Carnage will be an incredible threat to all symbiotes in the ongoing war.
When Knull forged his first true symbiote, All-Black the Necrosword, he did so in a cosmic furnace built inside the severed head of a dead Celestial. Knull’s celestial hammer drew its flesh to probe the alien sword, ringing across the cosmos as sparks from the infinite fire clashed against the symbiote’s blade.. Knull later informs Eddie Brock that locked in the genetic memory of all Klintar remains a fear of the forge’s fire and the hammer’s violent ringing. It means that in his ascension to God, The carnage shed all fear and cast off his metaphysical chains.
Carnage and Cletus now hold the means to counter every weakness their kind possesses. Imbued with the powers of a god, and patient enough to stalk the shadows, Carnage and his boss are working towards something disastrous in the fledgling poison war. As they continue their hunt for the source and target of the anti-symbiote weapon, there is no doubt that the diabolical duo will dive into something beyond their world. A god in all but name, and now completely immune to the Klintar’s natural weaknesses, Carnage will be an incredible threat to all symbiotes in the ongoing war.
