Ben Reilly already hada very wild legacyat Marvel Comics , but hisreturn a few years ago in Clone Conspiracy — and his spinoff serial asthe Scarlet Spider once more — only added to a backstory that , even by comic leger superheroes ’ most egregious standard , was a flake bonkers .

Wearing a newfangled case ( which you’re able to see below ) that kick up the last time he was officially Spider - Man , the young footrace teases tough times onwards for Peter Parker that will ostensibly have him interrogation if he ’s up to the great power and large obligation of being the outstanding Spider - Man . Can his clone overcome those issues and rise above his estranged sib ? Has everythingBen Reilly lived , die , and lived againthrough prepared him to once again be Spider - Man ?
