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."

I still think the "Cyber Scarlet Spider" had some potential. For all we know, after he was taken away for treatments to remove the VR-tech that had fused with him in his transformation, I could see whoever took him away trying to weaponize that VR-tech to make their own, presumably controllable cybernetic Spider-Man. Would be interesting to pit that against Ben Reilly as Spider-Man Beyond.
Yeah, that would have made more sense. I liked Mister Sinister's Scarlet Spiders, at least insofar as the ongoing rivalry between him and the Jackal.
The spider is always on the hunt.
No previews for next week’s issue?
Previews for 'regular' comics should be out in 2 more hours give or take at AIPT.
Discovering/CONFESSING! the nature of evil... one retcon at a time.

It's not like there's anything irredeemably bad about Joe Wade, it would be kind of cool to see him pop up in a modern context.
The storyline was a mess but only because it was forced on the Spidey creative team by marketing. There was no logical reason for Ben to not take up the mantle at this point as he was believed to be the original Peter and then-clone Peter gave him his blessing.
The idea that Scarlet Spider's reputation got ruined so badly that Ben had to take refuge in Spider-Man's was weird since it's not like Spidey's was ever anything to write home about!
