Maximum Carnage Tribute Part 7-Darkest Hour

Description

The heroes have failed.  Just when it seemed the threat of Carnage was over, he revealed that the symbiote altered his bloodstream, bonding with it, changing it so that the sadistic Cletus Kassady could transform into his monstrous alter ego whenever he desired. 

In addition, Shriek revealed that it was her who was causing the increased sense of rage within the city, psychically projecting her own madness over the entire city, turning innocent civilians into rampaging lunatics. 

The heroes "Take no prisoners" attitude offered them little edge in battle, as they either couldn't match Carnage's and his followers sadism, or couldn't follow through with their statements to do whatever is necessary to stop the madness.  Carnage proved resistant to the sonic cannon, and the heroic Firestar couldn't bring herself to end Carnage's life with her powers.  This refusal to take the life of the murderous Carnage caused Venom to break ranks with the group, and go it on his own.  This didn't go well for him, as he was quickly defeated and captured.  Black Cat, Cloak and Morbius decided to hunt Carnage on their own and rescue Venom, but their alliance also broke apart, due to Cat questioning whether or not she had what it took to be a real hero, and Cloak coming to terms with the fact that his quest for revenge was really just anger at himself for making a monster like Shriek in the first place.

With only Spider-Man and Firestar remaining, and the madness infecting New York City growing, things looked grim for the heroes.  Thankfully, help was just around the corner that would help turn the tide...
