Ben Reilly: Spider-Man/Scarlet Spider Appreciation 2022

Look at the cover with Shathra (bringing back Digger I can understand… but Shathra???). One of those faces captured underneath is… Kaine? I got my hopes up, but I remember Miles also has red eyes on a black mask now, so maybe not. What does everyone else think?

Kyle Hotz! YAY!

I,m betting on Kafka as the new Hobgoblin.

Also, it seems that Ben is a secondary antagonist and it's all about Maddie

Hallow's Eve has Janine's haircut and color, though.

Yeah, Hallows Eve is not the Hobgoblin in my theory. Maybe Kafka's (Norman's) sins plus Hobgoblin tech creates Eve.

i think its Janine too guessing she didnt leave Ben during his chasm issue Mj can learn a lesson

She also stepped into the deus ex goop

You mean the quantum-shifting polymers contained in a psycho-reactive medium?

Yeah, but I'm not a scientist so is hard to me to remember the academic names

It would be interesting to see Janine take on a super-powered persona, especially if Ben/Chasm decided to flake on her in his brainlessness.

True love is donning some goblin gear to hunt down your mentally ill spider-clone boyfriend.

-Pav, who would do the same...

Or maybe she's helping him. She had some kind of resentment towards Peter and MJ, and the psycho goop maybe amplified that.

Damn. It’s such garbage that we haven’t seen Kaine in about 4 years (Spidergeddon came out in 2018).

[Huntsman Spider]

Fair enough. I had to look it up myself.

Ha, yeah.

Could be, considering the (perhaps deliberate) parallels between Janine/Ben and MJ/Peter established by The Lost Years and Redemption miniseries that expanded upon Ben's history and experiences before returning to New York in the 90s Clone Saga.

Ohhh, my bad. I forgot that we don't know who Hobgoblin is this time and I assumed you were referring to Eve since she's very Hobgoblin esque.

He's not going to redeem at the end of this.

Correct. Remember, even with tremendous backlash at the time and a bi-monthly schedule, it took Felicia three years to turn face again. Marvel's history of 'bad medicine' has had a long history of longevity.
