Ben Reilly: Spider-Man/Scarlet Spider Appreciation 2023

[Huntsman Spider]

Hopefully the forgotten Red Team MVP Scarlet Spider is in the series with Spidercide.

From the Initiative? Yeah, that would be cool, too.

The first issue of The Initiative is one hell of a comic. One of Slott's best

Indeed. I also love how the first twelve issues, more or less exclusively done by Slott, address the aftermath of Marvel's original Civil War and the sheer corruption that sets in despite all the high-minded rhetoric about making superheroes more accountable to the public and what-not by forcing them to register and be trained more as what effectively amounts to super-soldiers, superspies, and even super-assassins for the government.

Should Ben shoot his webs out of the top of his wrists;

Personally I prefer the top. Differentiates him from Peter a bit and just looks cool.

Yeah, same.

It seems to me that it must be much easier to shoot a webline and then grab hold of it if the Spider-person shoots their web from the bottom as Peter does.

Why not both? Web-lines from the bottom of his wrist, and impact webbing pellets from the top of his wrist, like in his appearance in the 90s animated series finale, "Spider Wars." He even impressed the arrogant multibillionaire armored alternate Spider-Man, who wondered, "Now why didn't I think of that?"

That would work.
