^^ Technically, that bomb feat isn't as impressive as most people make it out to be. While Genesis, who had somehow turned into another Apocalypse as a result of a spell cast by Doctor Strange and Scarlet Witch that turned over his (and Carnage's) morals, did indeed design the bomb to wipe out humanity, IT WAS NOT ACTUALLY GOING TO BLOW UP THE EARTH.

I don't know the specifics (been a while since I read the comic), but I do know that it was supposed to unleash some gas or something intangible like it that would kill any human not bearing the X-gene (meaning, any mutants like Wolverine or Magneto would be just fine if they breathed it in whereas Hulk and Spider-Man would be screwed) across the world.

However, it's still impressive in that the bomb had to have blown up with enough force to distribute said toxin around the entire planet in a very short amount of time, easily making it much stronger than most modern nuclear bombs... and Carnage not only regenerated from being blasted to puddles as a result, but the bits and pieces of the symbiote (and those of Kasady inside) weren't even blown that far away; Many of Carnage's "remains" were still found around the city the bomb was about to blow up in. That, and he's survived blasts from Doctor Doom and Genesis (before he became Apocalypse), the former of which can blast apart tanks and the latter's came from his eyes, which are specifically designed to literally "dematerialize" targets like Spyro's Aether.
