Carrion (comics)
Carrion is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character is usually depicted as an enemy of Spider-Man.
The Miles Warren clone version of Carrion first appeared in The Spectacular Spider-Man #25 and was created by Bill Mantlo, Jim Mooney, and Frank Springer. Carrion emerged as part of a storyline that was a sequel to the original Clone Saga and as a result he has one of the most complicated histories of any Spider-Man villain.
According to Jenny Blake Isabella, in Mantlo's original plans for the story, Carrion would have been revealed as the Peter Parker clone using the discarded gear of the then-deceased Green Goblin. Marv Wolfman, then writer of The Amazing Spider-Man book, had second thoughts. He decided he did not want a second Spider-Man running around, so Bill Mantlo was asked to change the planned revelation of his extended story even though the first chapter had already been published.
The character's history has been retconned several times as successive writers changed the status of the various clones, the plans and motivations of Miles Warren, and other aspects from the stories. Often these changes took place in stories which did not directly involve Carrion, resulting in further stories trying to tie up gaps. Three separate incarnations of the character have appeared.
William Allen first appeared in Spider-Man: Dead Man's Hand #1 (April 1997), created by Roger Stern and Dan Lawlis. McBride was created by Sal Buscema and Gerry Conway in The Spectacular Spider-Man #149 (April 1989).
The original Carrion first appears seeking to destroy Spider-Man, somehow knowing his secret identity as Peter Parker. He unsuccessfully approaches the Maggia with a plan to kill Spider-Man. Carrion attacks Peter Parker, blaming him for the death of Gwen Stacy.
Carrion seeks to destroy Spider-Man several times before capturing him and revealing himself to be a decayed clone of Miles Warren, also known as the Jackal. Warren had created the clone and left it in a capsule to mature to full development. However, Warren seemingly died and the clone was left alone in the capsule. Something went wrong and the clone's body became like a living corpse. Carrion blamed Spider-Man for the deaths of both Warren and Gwen Stacy and sought to bring him to justice with the help of Randy Vale, a student who he manipulated into helping him. Carrion captures Peter Parker and prepares to kill him with a giant "Spider-Amoeba" created using Peter's genetic material. In the subsequent fight, a fire breaks out in the laboratory. The Spider-Amoeba suffocates Carrion to death before dying in the fire.
Many years later, Spider-Man learns from the High Evolutionary that Miles Warren had not achieved cloning but had instead created a genetic virus that could transform humans into genetic duplicates of other people. Spider-Man searches through Warren's laboratory and is followed by his university research student rival Malcolm McBride, who discovers a test tube containing a strange substance. The substance consumes McBride, turning him into a second incarnation of Carrion who possesses the knowledge and powers of the first Carrion.
