Is Cletus still alive? Pretty sure Eddie killed him at the end of Absolute Carnage.

What happened to Toxin?

Cletus' conscience transferred to the Symbiote itself, which merged with the Venom Symbiote at the end of Absolute Carnage. Later on, in Venom Island, the Cletus persona of the Carnage Symbiote tried to kill Eddie and was subsequently separated. So I guess "technically" Cletus is alive, in the same sense that Otto Octavius was alive when he made a mind scan of himself and then put it in a clone body.

What happened to Toxin?

Patrick Mulligan was killed off-screen. Pat's Symbiote Toxin was eventually given to Eddie Brock, before it, too, was killed, in a permanently implied fashion.

Which sucked, considering how much I enjoyed Pat/Toxin. Theirs was a pretty unique take, even accounting for Scott Washington/Hybid's existence then (who's death also had something to do with Brock, albeit in a more direct, explicit, and visceral way). Them wasting Pat/Toxin like that was a shame.

Ben Reilly

Could you (or anyone, really) elaborate, please?

Spider-Carnage. When Ben was Spider-Man, he bonded with the Carnage symbiote while it was hopping from host to host, and it nearly drove him to murder several times before he was finally able to force it off, even if he was willing to spend the rest of his life in a fortified cell to keep Carnage from using him to wreak more havoc. Granted, since Ben died at the end of the Clone Saga and then was "reanimated" 20 years later in The Clone Conspiracy, his current body might not retain the Carnage codex.

To add to this thread: Andi Benton is also alive, and she was the host of both Mania and is currently (Or we suppose, since her series was cancelled) the host of the Scream Symbiote.

Thank you.

Yeah, not sure how much Ben counts as a living Symbiote user, outside of a technicality.

Considering how awesome it was that Andi survived and had her own series after all this, it's a shame it ended up cancelled by the wayside.

Thank you.

Yeah, sure how much Ben as a living Symbiote user, outside of a technicality.

You're welcome, and yeah, that was a shame.

Wasnt Silver Surfer bonded to the Carnage symbiote? Pretty sure he is alive.

Yup, around ASM #430-431 by DeFalco, it was one of my first Spider-Man stories.
