Phage is a minor antagonist from Marvel Comics. He is one of the five symbiotes forcibly spawned from Venom, along with Agony, Lasher, Riot, and Scream. As of the Venom War Event, Phage is currently bonded to Carl Striklan, formerly known as "The Crippler".

Biography[]

The Life Foundation[]

Carl Mach was a mercenary who worked for a sinister corporation called the "Life Foundation." The Foundation was preparing for the M.A.D.(Mutually Assured Destruction) fallout of the Cold War and sought to provide a comfortable life for their wealthy clients after the impending nuclear holocaust. The Life Foundation experimented with the Venom symbiote in the hopes of developing superhuman peacekeepers to watch over their imagined fallout shelter utopia, and Carl was one of the three men chosen as hosts for Venom's forcibly-extracted spawn.

Carl was the self-proclaimed leader of the group, however Scream was the leader de facto. During Venom's time as Lethal Protector of San Francisco, Phage and his "siblings" were defeated by Venom and Spider-Man. Carl's symbiote was artificially aged to dust and his body was caught in a massive explosion.

It was later revealed that Phage and the other symbiotes had survived due to efforts by the Life Foundation. They broke Eddie Brock out of prison and kidnapped him in a last ditch effort to communicate with their alien "others." Unfortunately Eddie refused to aid them, due to Carnage's example that his "children" became psychopathic killers. Scream killed Carl with a sonic knife shortly after, having snapped from her schizophrenia and her symbiote's influence, believing that the symbiotes and any who host them were evil.

After Death[]

Carl's symbiote, and was imprisoned/experimented upon in The Vault along with its siblings (with the exception of Carnage and Scream.) The symbiotes eventually merged together, and bonded with a man known as Scott Washington to form Hybrid.
