Arriving to New York
Captain Carnage showed up in New York City around 1976 and began to entice costumed adventurers into beating him up by pretending to be a supervillain, constantly yelling things like "Punish me!", gaining pleasure from the pain.
Attacked by Silk Spectre II
Captain Carnage once devised an elaborate fake theft ring that continued on for months, eventually ending when Silk Spectre II discovered the clues to his location he had planted at the scene of his crimes and crashed his "hideout" - a mirrored room in SoHo with soft music playing and flashing red lights on the walls. When Silk Spectre II attacked Carnage, she noticed that he was turned on by the beating.[1]
Ignored by Nite Owl II
Captain Carnage attempted his usual routine on Nite Owl II, only to be ignored.
Killed by Rorschach
