Carrion (comics)
Carrion is a fictional character, a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character is usually depicted as an enemy of Spider-Man. Publication history The Miles Warren clone version of Carrion first appeared in ''The Spectacular Spider-Man'' #25 and was created by Bill Mantlo, Jim Mooney, and Frank Springer. Carrion emerged as part of a storyline that was a sequel to the original Clone Saga and as a result he has one of the most complicated histories of any Spider-Man villain. His history has been retconned several times as successive writers changed the status of the various clones, the plans and motivations of Professor Miles Warren and other aspects from the stories. Often these changes took place in stories which did not directly involve Carrion, resulting in further stories trying to tie up gaps. No fewer than three separate incarnations have been encountered. William Allen first appeared in ''Spider-Man: Dead Man's Hand'' #1 (April 19 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Talon debuted in ''Guardians of the Galaxy'' #18 (November 1991). He is a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Thus, Valentino created Talon, influenced by Steve Englehart's take on the Beast during Beast's "party hearty" time with the Avengers. Valentino later stated that Talon "wasn't gay, as some people thought. I thought it would lighten things up to have a happy-go-lucky screw-up on the team since, when looked at properly, the Guardians were not a superhero team, but rather a light army." Talon has some superhuman abilities thanks to his genetic ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Originating as an offspring of Venom, Carnage is much more powerful than its parent symbiote because of the symbiotes' biology, and is in many ways a darker version of him. Like Venom, Carnage has had multiple hosts over the years, but its most infamous one remains its first - killer Cletus Kasady, whose sadistic personality perfectly matches that of the symbiote. Other notable hosts include Ben Reilly, Karl Mal ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
