>>106642104Spider-Man has never beaten Carnage one on one. Sam Nova is the only one who ever has, and even that was a severely weakened Carnage recovering from the Gene Bomb. It still took a semi-truck hitting Carnage by surprise to give Sam the distraction he needed to temporarily subdue Carnage. That is the biggest "loss" Carnage has taken.
There's a reason Carnage has not shown up in a Spidey book for the last 20 years. Hell, aside from Axis, he hasn't shown up in any book not titled "Carnage." Pete (and Venom for that matter) simply cant stop him. It's always needed a team up or some outside distraction. Spider-Man's greatest "win" against Carnage came in an annual where Carnage set out to kill his only childhood friend, he stomped Spider-Man who had no help what so ever. It was only because the friend convinced Carnage to kill him as Cletus, not Carnage that Spidey managed to knock him unconscious with a suckerpunch from from a giant piece of lumber.
Deadpool couldn't even get a big win during the height of his wanking phase a couple years back. Most he got was confusing Cletus into overthinking things and willingly locking himself up whilst he pondered the meaning of life (it was a Deadpool comic after all.)
People don't just get to beat Carnage in a fight. He's possessed the Avengers along with the entire population of a small town. He's turned the whole of New York into a slaughtering ground and it took a 10-person team up to stop him. He's possessed the Silver Surfer, summoned an Elder God, infected Iron Man's bleeding edge armor, survived atmospheric re-entry twice, survived a bomb explosion designed to kill all none-mutants in the world, survived having his head blown off, survived being JUST a head, walked away from a pair of fighter jet missiles lighting him up, survived being torn in half and left orbiting the planet.
Carnage is one of the few villains who's yet to be turned into fodder or jobbed out in a throw away comic or an event.
