Ben Reilly: Spider-Man/Scarlet Spider Appreciation 2023

[HypnoHustler]

Rek Rap is some weird blend of Spider-Ham and Deadpool.
I feel it is a redundant character in large part and I currently lean into the "fade away into obscurity" please....or limbo.

Just fix Ben already Spider Offices now that Spidercide is being re-established.

And bring back Kaine as Scarlet Spider 2. I did see he had a recent blink-and-you-miss-it cameo in the Slott book, but beside that he’s been MIA since Spidergeddon 5 years ago.

Considering how shitty recent stories are, how Ben was destroyed, how Peter was screwed over, it's a blessing that Kaine isn't around.

I think the most interesting thing here is that he is wearing the costume from the end of the JMD Ben Reilly series!

Indeed, which means at least some of JMD's work isn't being completely ignored . . . spoilers:

kind of like how the second Venom: Lethal Protector flashback miniseries by David Michelinie turned out to have set the stage for present-day Eddie Brock's confrontation with Doctor Doom in Al Ewing's Venom.

Reading Dark X-Men, and the scene with Pryor and Ben, really makes me hope serious payback is coming for Pryor. Ben was absolutely right.

Look at the Dark X-Men solicit

Friend or foe?

Watch as he becomes a member of ORCHIS and helps overthrow the Dark X-Men. But seriously, I hope he decides to become a good guy again.

Maddie deserves it tbqh.

JOking aside, that's how he escapes Limbo jail I guess.

And hopefully reunites with his beloved Janine so that they can run away together and get the happy ending that not even their MC2 counterparts were afforded.

Ditto, my friend

[CaptainUniverse]

I just realized...if he joins ORCHIS he can be reunited with JUDAS TRAVELLER! I am sure they have a lot of catching up to do. Oh...but he probably doesn't even remember Judas.

Will CHASM join the fight against Orchis…or become Madelyne Pryor’s ultimate downfall?


I he were to join ORCHIS that phrase would be something like "Will CHASM join the fight against Orchis…or join THEM?" He may help ORCHIS to take down Maddie and then go away to the awful hands of Lowe and Wells again

No...not back to Lowe and Wells...anything but that!

Judas Traveller being the one to restore Ben's memories would be the wildest one yet. Maybe they both revert to former versions of themselves?

That would be pretty interesting. Ben restored to normal by his former adversary! *Cue CHASM NO MORE variant covers*
