Spider-Carnage was Ben Reilly when he was Spider-Man taken by the Carnage symbiote. Just a one shot story but it was notable for appearing on Fox's Spider-Man cartoon.
If you had to have a Spider-Man/Carnage combo then it's worked pretty well.. least it was visually interesting.. in that '90s way. Least we now know what a classic costume (okay, it was Ben's version of the classic suit) version of a symbiote looks like.

While not the best design, it's clearly not the worst design in regards to the Symbiotes. It's recognizably a Spider-Man variant that is possessed, which unfortunately has been done with the real Spider-Man, and was done better.
I had to go with a 3 for the overall design, it's not bad, but could be a little better.
3- It's ok. Nothing amazing, but it's ok. Very 90s, but not in the Liefeld pouches everywhere kind of way.
Gave it a 3. Not bad but nothing super exciting. It works for what it is.
I gave Spider-Carnage a 5! I actually really like this design. The Ben Reilly costume has always been pretty cool (we'll get to that one day) and this merges it with the head of Carnage which I also like. The little red vines and the claws all work for me. It gets the Pod seal of approval.
wrong thread lol
2: I'm pretty much the exact opposite from you on this one, Pod. The design just doesn't work for me, and the elements you enumerated are the reasons why. :P Yeah, this one just doesn't really coalesce in my opinion. It's just disparate, mismatched pieces.
2. Just silly. If you're gonna go Carnage, go full Carnage.
