My bad.Still BND messed him up and Kraven gave him a great exit.

Well now we have his clone and Anya running around

I'm talking about Kraven.His exit was executed in a great fashion.
His clone is more like his Son and Anya has nothing to do with Kraven's death so......

will there finally be some new villains invented rather than having Ben re-encounter all the 60s, 70s and 80s foes?

New villains like his own original foes?

We know of one.Obsidian Star

I'm still waiting on a comeback from Joystick; she was fun, and could very well have worked as his Black Cat in his original Spider-Man days. Or maybe the resurgence of the Great Game. I mean, bored rich people organizing underground fight clubs with superpowered fighters just to bet on them? Could see the Beyond Corp sending Ben to shut it down (and maybe repurpose the more promising participants for its own schemes). I'd also love to see D'Spayre return to confront Ben and attempt to drive him to despair over never being as good as Peter, much less better.

I believe Nicieza used Joystick up until the end of his Thunderbolts tenure, before they became Ellis' pet project and so on, so maybe she has a shot at coming back?

So, do we know how long is Beyond supposed to last? Not gonna lie, after reading the TASM#73 topic on the forums, I'm kinda afraid it's going to be a "filler run".

It has seemed like a last moment filler thing from the start.Even the BND style team suggests that.
My guess is Marvel told the writers that they can't use Peter since the other team who many suspect is a big name has an idea for how to take Peter forward.Brining Ben back is a nostalgia bait for the mean while.
As many have said Peter will return in 900 and we have 3 issues per month 7-8 months.I don't think even Marvel is dumb enough to have Peter not be in 900.
Although maybe they want 900 to be the first issue of new run in which case it may end earlier.

I remember her beating up Speed Demon at one point during Nicieza's run, so it'd be great if Speed Demon tried to come at her for revenge and Spider-Man got caught in the middle.

Totally with you on thinking Joystick could and should be a major part of Ben's supporting cast. Gaming has only become a bigger part of general culture since her last appearances, and the number of billionaires in the world has increased as well. Making her more of an anti-villain and having some romantic sparks between her and Ben could definitely serve to make her "his Black Cat" -- especially because I think she'd react similarly to the notion of "Power and Responsibility."

Ben's...
Green Goblin: the Jackal
Doc Ock: Lady Ock
Venom: Kaine
Black Cat: Joystick

-Pav, who wonders if the list can be expanded...

Joystick sounds cool and but personally I would rather have them do 1 or 2 villains correctly w/ arcs rather than hit on all of them.
We have like 25 issues max in which Beyond stuff will take place, and BEY issue is setting up obsidian star.
We already know Kraven and Morbius, which I would have loved to see Ben's rogues instead.

So like how many can you fit in and how will it effect execution

You guys are forgetting the most likely arc villain, Beyond Corp themselves.

Yeah, they are most definitely gonna be the big bads.
And they seem to be training Ben for something, seems like they are using him as a mercenary of sorts
