Gender: Male Location: Planning to take over the WORLD!
tricky, but i'll go with dh2. he has some of the same abilities carnage has and his regen is crazy. not sure cassidy could put him down and minion has options between siphon and sonics as well as the more basic powers he has. carnage is tough. not impossible i guess but i'd stick with minion for a majority here.
Minion is low class 100. Plenty of showings to justify him as lots stronger than Carnage. Leo is pretty much on point. Either is a tough out for the other, but I see no way Minion ever goes down.
I pretty much based this off of the last time I paid any attention to Kletus and that was the Max Carn Arc. I have no idea where he is now. Just wanted to see a couple of the 90's more Tolerable Extremers go at it.

Yeah, I vaguely remembered that as well. It makes it more difficult to put him down, no doubt. But Carnage is still outclassed in pretty much every category. It wouldn't be a short fight. But it also wouldn't really be in doubt imo. More offensive output, equally haxx regen, way better strength (there's some not-outlandish ABC logic with Killpower that could easily put Minion in Herc's league), and the plot device that is the cranial siphon. Which, admittedly, might be tricky with a symbiote, but has taken out people lots more powerful than Carnage.
Good fight. From what I remember of these characters I also think DH2 can probably take it, but it's a tough fight alright. In a comic I could see Carnage having had enough and just clearing the hell out to look for easier pickings.
The only two people to provide specific reasons for a Minion win are leo and I, and we both cited several reasons beyond strength. I only referenced his strength initially bc Fly specifically asked about it. But to reiterate, the strength difference is likely pretty massive, which, yes, would mean something. I'm more of a mind that Minion's equally high-powered energy attacks and cranial siphon would be the deciding factors. Carnage can't do meaningful damage to Minion, while Minion can disintegrate or assimilate him.
Again, strength isn't the most important factor here. But he has a handful that put him in the Class 100 range, like overpowering Thing, or on several occasions being shown as Killpower's equal (notable bc Killpower stalemated Hercules in arm wrestling), and lifting a ship easily that was at least dozens of tons, and likely hundreds. He also had a good showing against Hulk, one that I think showed Hulk was stronger but placed Minion within range of him.
It was. It's actually a fight I dislike referencing, because it's not really a definitive showing for anyone involved. The others I mentioned are better, imo. But you're asking specifically about strength feats, so it seemed logical to mention it.
