Marvel Comics revealed new details about Carnage's quest to become the last symbiote standing in the "Death of Venomverse." In his ongoing series, Carnage consumed the abilities of super-powered characters — including Hydro-Man, Spot, and dark elves on Svartalfheim — to make himself stronger. At the same time, Carnage tracked down Malekith to learn how to create a new All-Black Necrosword, a task that proved successful with a weapon being made called the All-Blood. Carnage also gained a major power upgrade by absorbing particles of Uru metal, the same material made used to create Thor's hammer, Mjolnir.
"Death of Venomverse" will follow the strongest version of Carnage as he weaves his way across the Multiverse to kill all and any versions of Venom. But his journeys will lead him to take on a surprise opponent, as Knull will return in the miniseries. In new cover art from Bjorn Barends, the God of Symbiotes is somehow alive. The image features Knull standing above the Carnage symbiote, wielding All-Black, while surrounded by fire. Knull sports a terrifying smile on his face while holding the horns of Carnage's head as the symbiote villain lies defeated by the god.
The question remains, how will Knull return? He was definitively murdered in the "King in Black" event by Eddie Brock. Although, even more so than usual Marvel heroes and villains, symbiote characters have survived being killed on numerous occasions. It's also possible this version of Knull isn't from the same reality as the one previously seen. Regardless of where he comes from, the King in Black's unexpected comeback marks the final battle for Carnage to take the crown for himself, which becomes his greatest challenge yet.
