Suggested by erentan
On a rain-soaked New York night, a dark alliance forms amidst corrupted justice. When Detective Patrick Mulligan’s case of "vanishing inmates" reaches cynical investigator Jessica Jones, they uncover an ancient, cosmic dread. The "Broken Minds" core—Daredevil, Punisher, Moon Knight, Scarlet Witch, and Venom—is reinforced by rebellious Dylan Brock (Teen-Venom) and Billy Kaplan (Wiccan), who senses the city's deep magical rot. Infiltrating Ryker’s Prison, they face fanatic Stanley Carter (Sin-Eater), his symbiotic "Crimson Hand" assassins, and a mutated Lee Price (Venomania), fueled by vengeance against Venom. As corrupted ninjas blind Daredevil’s radar, Price's rage turns the corridors into a claustrophobic hell, clashing against Punisher’s artillery, the Venoms' brute force, and Wanda and Billy's combined chaos magic. At the end of this lethal descent, the team confronts a massive ritual in Ryker's boiler room. Teen-Venom and Punisher permanently neutralize Price, while Carter sacrifices himself, bleeding into a mystic symbiotic pool and taking his elite Hand priests into the void. At this moment of mass demise, Rio Vidal (Lady Death) materializes. Drawn by the slaughter, she watches the harvest of souls with a mocking smile, casting a chilling glance at Wanda and Billy before melting into the shadows. Believing they saved the city, the Secret Defenders extract Mulligan and fade away. However, the carnage's true purpose is already fulfilled: the crimson, alien tissue, fed by Carter's fanatic blood, seeps into an isolated cell, reaching the sociopathic killer Cletus Kasady. A terrifying smile spreads across Kasady’s face to black, revealing the bitter truth—the team unknowingly triggered the absolute apocalypse known as "Absolute Carnage."
