The Spider-Office should send Kaine Parker to the X-Office as a member of X-Force. That would keep him in the spotlight as part of the team...

I once had a similar idea, but it was in an A/U where the Facility that created X-23 hired Kaine to retrieve her, only Kaine decided to become her protector instead after having an attack of conscience over the idea of returning her to the environment where she was dehumanized and treated as "nothing but a weapon." The context for Kaine joining X-Force would have been, on his part, to spare Laura (X-23's actual name, given by her mother in her dying moments) from once again being used as a weapon, even if by "the good guys."

The original X-Men did invite Spider-Man to join. He declined after his bad experiences with The Avengers. This was during the Stan Lee and Steve Ditko era. Peter would make a better fit with the X-Men. He would get along well with Scott Summers, Prof. Xavier, and Hank McCoy respectively.
Kaine Parker would get along well with Cable and the X-Force due to shared experiences of being an outcast by society...
Slingers if we're keeping him in the Spider-Man family, but I could see Thunderbolts if we're branching out into the rest of the MU. Given Kaine's past, he'd definitely be a shoo-in for any version of the Thunderbolts that was serious about atoning for their former lives of criminality/villainy.

I won't even get into the dream that would be a revamped Slingers featuring Kaine --
I could totally see Kaine on a Thunderbolts team -- didn't he appear in like one issue of the original series for a single panel?
However, since Damnation I've also enjoyed the idea of both Ben and Kaine acting as a brother combo as part of a revamped Defenders team led by Dr. Strange.
Interesting that New Warriors wasn't mentioned as a destination: have Ben and Kaine outgrown that team in some way?
-Pav, who wonders where Aracely is...
You were Spider-Man then. You and Peter had agreed on it. But he came back right when you started feeling comfortable.
You know what it means when he comes back.
"You're not the better one, Peter. You're just older."
