Carries generally don't come with greatly damaging abilities, but rather, they have things that will boost their carrying power, either by increasing stats or having useful abilities like escapes.

Having nothing but damaging abilities actually hurts carrying power, because casting time really gets in the way of autoattacking with sufficient attack speed. There's a good reason why Wukong falls behind other carries with the standard AD/AS/Crit set.
