>>126044937Yep, he's supposed to be able to do stuff Venom can't. The reasons for that vary depending on who's writing the book, sometimes it's because each time a symbiote spawns the next one is supposed to be stronger, sometimes it's because Carnage was born on Earth instead of being born in space. It always changes.
>>126044915The gay thing is dumb if you take it literally, the symbiote is genderless, it gives birth by splitting a part of itself off, like a sponge. Eddie and the Symbiote definitely have a romantic relationship going, I think Costa's take on that romance was my favorite version, but the gay thing is way too literal. Venom and Eddie Brock in particular is definitely a gay icon considering Eddie is a hot buff dude straight of of a Catalina productions 90s gay porn, but you fags seriously need to cool off, you're scaring the straights and it's going to ruin everything. What makes Venom so hot he really rides the line, straight guys love him, gays love him, women love him, if you go too far with the gay shit you're going to alienate straight guys and girls who aren't fag hags.
