"Hey imma clone a person that has the most purest of intentions possible, that also just wants to be a hero, and try to make the clone fight that person, haha what a master plan!"
Spidercide was my fave. Or that virtual spider freak from that scarlet spider run, but I guess technically he wasn't a clone. I guess.....idk, I just confused myself
WOW, this is unknown to some people???? Ben Reilly was my favorite and his costume was so much better than peters. Another reason why growing up in the 90s was the best time. (Who remembers FOX KIDS)
….not everyone watched it nor had comics. Like me. I grew up with tobey McGuire spider man but had no idea there was an entire series like shows until I was like 17. I mostly saw Nickelodeon and those shows were on Disney xd and like you said fox. Plus at the time my friends were mostly into stuff like 50 cent, gangster movies etc.
I love Ben Reilly back in the 90s but current marvel keep on crapping on him making him into a villain now the jackal now chasm come on marvel give the guy some love
I didn't know anything about him, I've just seen his skin in multiple spider-man games. But after thus I feel like he should be talked about a lot more.
I think these superheroes stories is really cool. He's an old character about finding ourselves, even if we thought we were just a bootleg version of our siblings for example.
What marvel should actually do with this story should actually create his own universe where he's a Spider-Man and they should go with a black and red suit
I believe Ben's known by quite a lot of people since he's been in the animated series too apart from comics. I think Kaine's not popular like Ben. Kaine's story is awesome.
I just can't tell you how much that running Spider man mobile game had taught me history of the Spider man universe. I didn't even read the comics and I've found out about the multiverse and other versions of Spiderman earlier than those who also didn't read comics.
I hope Disney Plus revives Spiderman the animated series I want to see more Ben Reilly he's the Best spiderman clone ever I also want to see him in the MCU Someday
He’s not a perfect clone. He’s modified which gives him differences and is technically a failed clone. A perfect clone is essentially your identical twin but even closer in relation such as the same finger prints.
“Who is the scarlet spider?” The swagger version of spidey who looks a helluva lot cooler, fiercer, and agile due to his sporty look. People can love the OG but I will forever hold Scarlet as my number one Spider-Man right alongside symbiote spidey.
I could swear I remember an issue where it was revealed that BR was the real PP and the PP we knew was really the clone but things got mixed up, so BR always thought he was the clone.
There was. Sorta. It went back and forth. In Web of Spider-Man #123, the Jackal gives Ben a data drive that "proves" that Ben is the real Peter Parker. At the end of the issue, in an amazing scene, Ben throws the disc into the river after rationalizing that A) the Jackal, as a villain, is probably lying to mess with him B) Even if he was the original, the experiences that he and Peter have had since then have made them grow into seperate people, so it doesn't matter anyways C) Because he is NOT PETER PARKER! And the only thing - no, the only PERSON that Ben Reilly needs validation from. Is (himself) D) His fight with the Jackal that day only reminded him of that, and life is in the living. But, later on, Peter finds out about this and fully believes it. He passes the mantle of Spider-Man onto Ben, who initially refuses until an FBI agent turned brainwashed robot hologram duplicate tarnishes the name of the Scarlet Spider, forcing Ben to take up Peter's offer and become Spider-Man. Eventually, Norman Osborn kills Ben. Ben disintegrates into dust, the same way the other clones that died have, proving that Ben was the clone (just as Ben himself thought)
This storyline is a lot like a DC one after speedy. Who is cloned and the clone gets severely depressed and begins to look for the original Roy Harper, because all he thinks of himself is a copy of Roy
This is great plot story for Andrew’s TASM 3…We’ve seen his Spiderman working in a team during No Way Home, and it will great opportunity to let Andrew’s Spidey work with Scarlet Spider as a team of duo since he does have that experience as Peter 3…
