It seems that Peter still cares about Ben and wants to help him.
It seems that Peter still cares about Ben and wants to help him.
While it’s definitely a great sentiment, it really feels like letting your guard down by a nice act only to be punched in the gut when you realize that Dark Web, which describes Ben as the newest member of Peter’s rogue’s gallery is around the corner and that Wells is the one who ruined Ben again this time. It almost feels like Wells is just taunting the fans with a scene like that.
I was going back through the thread and found this.
I thought I was the only one who had this theory. To this day, Ben's "death" in PP:SM #75 doesn't follow what was established about clone degeneration. IIRC, "Life of Reilly" mentioned that this was pointed out to Bob Harras. His response was that it doesn't matter how it used to work, this is how it works now. To me, this means nothing. Harras was always about the quickest and most senseless solution to complex problems. He forever damaged Norman Osborn as a character, botched the potential of tying the X-Books in with the first X-Men film, and he was behind a lot of the garbage decisions made at DC during the New 52.
If Marvel truly cared about Ben, we'd get Spider-Man: The Final Clone, a mini-series chronicling Ben's replacement by one final clone before Peter's fight with Norman in PP:SM #75, and the reveal that Ben is stored somewhere for future use. I'd be happy just knowing he was in stasis somewhere and that the Clone Conspiracy and all the garbage that's followed involved a clone of a clone's remains.

One day I'll get a book of the three of them...one day.
You might wanna reword that .
Is he stealing the energy webbing shit Miles had once?
This immediately made me think of "It was me Barry".He is partially to blame to for the MJ mystery box
Fucking hell, imagine if they try to make Ben into Spidey's Thawne...
Lol, he has a very high mountain to climb even if we don't count Norman.Wells wanted to show how evil Chasm really is as he could't do that in Beyond as a way to make him the most hated rouge in Peters galley"
Careful with solicits, they exaggerate or even outright lie, so them saying that Chasm is super evil could be those, althought it could be accurate too.
Would be funny for Chasm and Janine to be the Anti-Peter/MJ, in the sense that these two stay together lol.
Fucking seriously? 'Cause if so, man, it's amazing how people who fuck up stuff may not stop at one thing, and do a fucking domino effect.
Trying something like that can get rather messy, controversial, and may not even solve the actual problem, specially if the same people who damaged Ben still get to write him, which they most likely will be allowed to if comic books are any hint.If Marvel truly cared about Ben, we'd get Spider-Man: The Final Clone, a mini-series chronicling Ben's replacement by one final clone before Peter's fight with Norman in PP:SM #75, and the reveal that Ben is stored somewhere for future use. I'd be happy just knowing he was in stasis somewhere and that the Clone Conspiracy and all the garbage that's followed involved a clone of a clone's remains.
Hmm, maybe, though I do see your point about Harras, especially after DC's New 52.
Would be nice.
Same here, though I'd say Ben's smile came more from him being at peace with himself and who he was, as opposed to Peter, who was coming off a full-on 90s edgelord phase at the start of the Clone Saga.
The spider is always on the hunt.

Ooh god...
Ben Reilly is my favorite comicbook character and I'm so afraid how Zeb Wells will make him irredeemable in Dark Web...
Seriously, I wish he stayed dead. I was all over the moon when he came back only to see Zeb Wells' horrible destroy his character.
