The thing is that the host has to have a perfect balance between body and mind. Cletus wasn't this. Carnage was one of the corrupted Symbiotes from the start. Possibly because it was spawned from Venom when Venom was corrupted, or because some genetic reason (the offspring of somebody carrying a mutation doesn't necessarily have to carry the mutation as well).
