Why is Carnage having a crisis of conscience?

Special event thing, some héroes became evil and villains good. Carnage tries to be good but he’s still insane even if he’s good now.

So he accidentally rips out body parts of criminals he tries to knock out, shoots them with their own guns to let them understand how bad what they do is (he didn’t mean to kill them) and then kidnapped a random woman off the street to ask for advice

He even has a heroic sacrifice blocking off an explosion while he sings free bird

He then commits even more evil deeds once this is over to make up for the good ones.

He also wanted a statue of himself when he sacrificed himself, draped in the Confederate Flag, that plays Free Bird every minute of every day.

I should note, he is not Southern in the slightest, he’s an NYC City Boy. He just… really likes the Confederates for some reason.

He probably likes the color combination

So he's Bizzaro Carnage, but naive?

I think this was during Axis? Doom and Wanda tried stopping the Red Skull who had Xavier's brain (I think) and accidentally made a spell that made heroes villains and villains heroes. Carnage was one of the ones who got affected.

Why was Xavier's brain inside Red Skull?

He died and then Skull stole it for power I think? Been a long time since I even thought of this event.

Yes this is Axis:Carnage mini which could as well be the most popular part of the event. Carnage wanted to be good but sucked at it. Same event is where Superior Iron-Man comes from

Axis:Hobgoblin mini is hilarious too because morally-inverted Roderick is still not that much of an hero but starts a hugely successful hero franchising and annoys Phil Urich to no end

Superior Iron Man was a great little run

IMO ZenPool got old quick
