Without a doubt, it's probably Ben and Kaine against Kraven during the lost years

Ooooh. I'm in

Didn't JMD did a series of Backups that had Kaine in his assassin years take on Kraven. he beat him and buried him alived which Kraven got out and inspired him.

I don't think Ben would've confronted Kraven during his last years without later telling Peter about it. And wouldn't Kraven have recognized his similarity to Peter with his keen senses? But who knows, stranger things have happened. Until this year, I didn't think Spidercide or Traveller (any follow up on that tease?) would return either.

I vaguely remember some back-ups with Kaine getting into it with Kraven around 2009-2010 in that awesome 'Web Of...' anthology series that always had those random Ben/Kaine/Mayday back-ups. I miss that book. Same series we got Ben Reilly in Italy iirc.

EDIT: Or maybe it was a back-up during the Grim Hunt storyline. Either way it was around that time period when Marvel started embracing the clone mythology again.

I'm pretty sure it was JMD Kaine backups during Grim Hunt where they did an untold Kaine/Kraven story.

It was a good time. Kaine was about to redeem himself and become Scarlet Spider. Ben hadn’t been brought back and had his legacy tainted yet.

Yeah, the best part of Grim Hunt

[HypnoHustler]

Yeah. I’m mixed about GH. It was great to see Kaine in action again, but a colossally dumb and unnecessary move to bring back Kraven (something Spencer only partially retconned imo).

Not to mention butchering poor Mattie Franklin. That said, I'm willing to bet the Kraven Ben ends up fighting, with or without Kaine, is actually Alyosha, Sergei's other son.

[Webhead]

Maybe Vladimir Kravinoff is the next forgettable character to be salvaged under good writing?

Mattie deserved better. I'm not a fan of the John Byrne era, but I have a soft-spot for Mattie and she really got the short end of the stick.

spoilers:

Ben can relate...now there's a team-up I'd read. lol

Most likely Alyosha.

Not sure if this will be Ben or Peter though. It could be set after the conclusion of JMD's second SSM run.

Jon DeMatteis said that if his Ben book got a sequel he wanted to do a tale featuring Ben, Peter and Kaine, so my guess is that he's going to use Alyosha and have him believe they're all hallucinating the thing.

Hmm, that would be interesting.
