Through his acolyte Baron Mordo, he delivers Venom's offspring to Kasaday, replacing Eddie Brock after Brock decides that working with a devil the size of a skyscraper is probably not a good idea. Dormammu, whose plans usually involve the conquest of entire dimensions, was the mastermind behind Carnage's creation for reasons that are nebulous at best. Instead, they spice things up by getting Dormammu, the Dread Lord of the Dark Dimension, who you might remember as the 100 foot-tall monster made of eldritch flames who showed up at the end of Doctor Strange. You might think that the show's changes would be limited to being a little more vague about Kasaday's murderous inclinations, and they are, but that's not where they stop. When the Venom symbiote shows up for a jailbreak, it leaves behind its offspring, which bonds with Kasaday and amplifies his homicidal tendencies, giving him the ability to carry out his murderous whims on a much grander scale.

He's a serial killer who gets locked up with Eddie Brock after he's arrested for his many Venom-related crimes. In the comics, Carnage's introduction is pretty straightforward, as far as stories about symbiotic living costumes from space are concerned. Want an example? Head to 'Venom Returns' and 'Carnage,' a two-parter that introduces serial killer and symbiote supervillain Cletus Kasady, better known as Carnage, to the show. Instead, he has a laser sword but still keeps his original name, which is a shame because 'Laser' is the only name that's exactly as cool as 'Blade.' Still, getting to see Spidey teaming up with some of Marvel's coolest characters is definitely a highlight of the series. Morbius the Living Vampire can't actually drink anyone's blood, so he has weird leech mouths on his hands that he uses to sort of nebulously absorb 'plasma.' Blade doesn't actually have a blade. The Punisher can't kill anyone on a kid's cartoon, so he never actually gets around to punishing anyone with his usual lethal force, and he also has an oddly prominent Chicago accent. Sure, those guest appearances aren't without their problems. There were guest appearances with Nick Fury, Iron Man and War Machine, Doctor Strange, and even Blade, three years before Wesley Snipes made him a household name. There were, of course, the obvious Spidey-adjacent characters like Daredevil and the Punisher, and since the X-Men had their own wildly successful show on the same network, the two-part crossover with them was an easy sell. The show embraced this aspect of Spider-Man, and long before the Marvel Cinematic Universe hit the big screen, Spider-Man '94 was throwing virtually anyone it could've onto the show, which had the not coincidental side effect of giving the action figure line more characters. Who knew that one of the alien costume's super powers was the ability to drive stick?

To keep up the chase, Venom decides that instead of web-swinging, he's going to go full Smokey and the Bandit and steal an 18-wheeler, giving us the delightfully bizarre image of Venom, in full costume, road-raging at Spider-Man. When the train comes up from underground - presumably Peter's using the fight as a shortcut to get back to Queens without having to swipe his MetroCard - Spidey manages to knock Venom off. In Venom's first full appearance, 'The Alien Costume, Part 3,' he and Spider-Man have a fight on the roof of a subway train. It's a tricky balance to walk, but the show pulled it off, and led to a moment that became a full-blown meme. Spidey '94 managed to present Venom as both a genuinely creepy threat and a tragic figure, especially when contrasted with his genocidal offspring, Carnage, while also never shying away the inherent goofiness of a big mean Spider-Man that hates the smaller, nicer Spider-Man. While they're few in number, though, those four episodes are pretty solid in terms of quality, and they brought some of the show's best moments.
