Yeah like most comic villains they are vile but  Venom often is portayed as a Tragic, Honorable or even Anti-Heroic. He varies somewhat from writer to writer from what I remember he is at times beating up villains, saving people or helping spiderman other times hes killing innocents, causing mayham or trying to get revenge on Spider-Man. He's an On and Off for this reason. However with Carnage he is far more often killing innocents, causing chaos and destruction with nearly any crime possible under his belt. Granted even some writers will give Carnage a moment where he seems to care for Shriek or even once help the heroes (which according to what I hear might of been due to some weird reversal spell where villains turned good and heroes turned bad but I am not sure) but other times he's shown indifferent or Shriek or just a deranged killer. Overall Carnage is portayed as a CM while Venom often varies from writer to writer.
