When Carl realized Peter was in fact Spider-Man and figured out how Peter had gained his powers, he decided to break into the lab where the original experiment had occurred - before realizing he had absolutely no idea how to use the equipment.

He purposely exposed himself to gamma radiation, but while this did indeed grant him incredible strength and regenerative powers, it turned him into a hideous monstrosity (worse on the [[Body Horror]] scale than the Abomination, another of the Hulk's enemies) and drove him batshit insane.
