Amazing Spider-Man #15

It's Venom who, after a deal with Ben and Madelyne, has been regressed into his more primal self.

Me too. He was such a radical departure of what Ben made the Scarlet Spider into. To the point that the first thing he did when he encountered Carnage was twist his head 180 degrees while asking if he looked like Spider-Man to him. Which, honestly, would have worked if it was the 90s. Symboites got a real power boost in terms of what they could do for their hosts later on. It would have been almost hilarious if Kaine killed Carnage then and there, ending Minimum Carnage before it started.

Didn't Carnage have a ridiculous healing factor even back in the 90s?

The symboite itself did, yes, but not Kassidy. The symboite could rapidly regenerate from Kassidy's blood. In fact, I think the deal was that the symboite basically WAS his blood, having bonded to it.

I'm remembering how the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon (not the comics, admittedly) had Carnage regenerating from decapitation or gun shots to the abdomen.

Oh, that was past the 90s by a long shot. By that point the symboite in the comics had been doing crazy stuff like keeping Kassidy alive after being torn in half, covering him and creating air sacks that changed carbon dioxide into oxygen.
