While the confrontation resulted in the deaths of the Sandman, Mysterio, and Electro, Carnage was atomized in a containment field that caused an overload, releasing radiation throughout the plant.

(Marvel Universe Millennial Visions 2001 - "Sinister Six: Death of the Spider (fb) - BTS) - In the weeks that followed, the remaining members of the Noxious Nine discovered that the radiation had fused their genetic material to that of their costumes, transforming them into their animalistic namesakes.

DOCTOR OCTOPUS

Doctor Octopus was the same as his Earth-616 counterpart up until he participated in the attack on Blin Quay Nuclear Power Station and became irradiated, fusing his costume to his genetic material. The fusion transformed his mechanical arms into that of a real octopus's arms.
