Fictional character biography
Tanis Nieves was a psychiatrist assigned to treat the supervillain Shriek. While attempting to discover Shriek's past, Nieves lost her right arm; it was replaced, however, with a bio-mechanical arm created from Carnage. Soon after, Nieves suffered hallucinations due to the prosthetic, and returned to Hall Industries M.D. to see Shriek. While Nieves was attempting to convince the staff to let her see Shriek, Nieves' prosthetic arm would not remove itself from the control room window. The symbiote, in reaction to being forced to move, killed all the restrainers. The symbiote then decided to choke Tanis, who fearfully asked what it would do to her. In response, the symbiote pointed to Carnage himself. Doing what it asked, Tanis destroyed the container and touched a piece of Carnage's body, to merge herself with him. Later, however, after the symbiote found Cletus Kasady, the original host of Carnage, it left Tanis behind. However, a second spawn was left behind as well. Shriek stole the symbiote, but Tanis took it back when it became scared of Shriek's insanity, and allowed herself to be fused with the creature, creating Scorn. Scorn then battled against Shriek and Carnage, alongside Spider-Man and Iron Man. Following the battle, Tanis was left with Tony Stark to be taken care of, her symbiote still instinctively hostile towards Spider-Man. She was taken into Iron Man's custody in hopes of getting leads on Carnage's location. When Carnage took over the town of Doverton, Colorado, Scorn was the only active symbiote who could be called on by the government to stop him after he defeated the Avengers, except for Spider-Man. She was partnered up with Mercury Team, a group of special forces who have weapons made of the separated symbiotes that were made up from Hybrid. She manages to use sonic weaponry to separate the Carnage Symbiote from Cletus and the symbiote and Cletus are taken into custody.
