i kinda more meant an irl alt reality where budiansky decided to stick with ben as spidey, but yeah i see that too.
i didn't mind their take on ben and spider-carnage though, which in a weird way, was still open to the "ben is the original" possibility. you'd imagine he'd have gone on to take over as spidey of his universe.

Spider-Carnage seems to be the most enduring Ben storyline that is totally NOT related to any Clone Saga mythology. Even people unaware of Ben probably recognize the Spider-Carnage look. Maybe they should do a sequel…
i mean, it's a fun design...i can totally see why it has legs.
would not be surprised if jdm does a sequel of sorts, even though he's not a fan of symbiotes.

I've always preferred Ben's Scarlet Spider look above all other costumes, but the Spider-Carnage look definitely gives it a run for its money. I could see some kind of sequel or return of Spider-Carnage based solely on how cool the look is.
-Pav, who really wants an official "Scarlet Carnage" look though...
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."

Wow, a rare moment where I must disagree with Pav where Ben is concerned. His Scarlet Spider look may be iconic, but it isn't great. Don't get me wrong, I like it. It very much works with Ben's personality at the time, with that homespun, off the rack vibe. I think if it was refined and updated a bit it could be quite good. His Sensational suit, however, is my 2nd favorite comic book costume of all time (after Wally Wood's DD design).
The new look is growing on me, but isn't there yet.
That said, I agree that Spider-Carnage is a great visual. And one of Ben's strongest stories to boot. It's one of the few Carnage stories I actually enjoy.

Watch it be his new costume after Beyond...
Phew... I'm glad we got classic Spider-Ben suit. This one here looks even worse than rightfully hated "new" Scarlet Spider suit.
edit: Beyond suit is fine. Nothing will ever beat classic Spider-Ben, not even classic Spider-Peter, but Beyond is nice. It reminds me a little of the old one, I like it. But I'm hoping Ben, somewhere along the way, is going to come back to his old webs (made from scratch by Janine of course!).
