That`s interesting. So in his world Reilly also built an outfit like Kaine`s?

Well, the 616 Ben Reilly was always kinda crafty. :P

[Aioros22]

That is true, I always found it cool that he was more pratical than Peter in that regard. He`s kind of between Pete and Octavious when it comes to be a more effective Spider-Man. More than vintage but less exageratted than the villain.

Preview of Amazing Spider-man #14. Last big battle of Spider-verse and where Morlun and his family, the Inheritors, discuss what to call Kaine while Peter, Otto, Gwen, the two Jess and the rest of the spiders rush to save him, Silk and Mayday's brother of being sacrificed.

http://www.comicvine.com/articles/pr...4/1100-151219/ (I didn't find any CBR preview for this).

With this issue (and #15 in two weeks), Spider-verse may close what it started in the IN THE MIDST OF WOLVES arc of Scarlet Spider #13-15, almost two years ago.

So I was re-reading scarlet spider 15(where kaine becomes the other) and I came across this page. I can't tell whether this is linked to Mictlan rising or Spider-verse, is it possible that the two are linked?

Man, I hope Kaine is okay, cause I don't want them to just drop Hummingbird.

Trying to look for a silver lining " in case ". Outside the fact that cheating death is Kaines gig, his recent popularity was launched starting with a heroes death. Maybe this will be the case here. Or maybe we'll see an even more evolved and powerful Kaine and the corpse was a shredded husk? I really hope they don't let him out. He's a good character and adapted a fan base rather quickly. It would be a waste to not continue to explore him.

That would be a shame.

... his recent popularity was launched starting with a heroes death. Maybe this will be the case here. Or maybe we'll see an even more evolved and powerful Kaine and the corpse was a shredded husk? I really hope they don't let him out. He's a good character and adapted a fan base rather quickly. It would be a waste to not continue to explore him.

I too see a lot of potential lying beyond for both Kaine himself alone and as a partner/champion of Aracely. At the very least, their antics were (and are) a delight to read and going on, I feel they could really evolve to be mainstays of Marvel: helping change its face and hearth a bit like Ms. Marvel and others are doing.

Speaking of which, there is one thing Kaine could do that Marvel seems afraid of letting Spider-man get into (or have) that I think could work wonderfully (and with much, much bizarre fun thanks to... HER* person).

*Not talking about Hummingbird with this one.

[Venomous Mask]

Considering that Kaine was killed in his Other form, bringing him back to life should be no problem.

[MASTER-OF-SUPRISE]

They really should keep Kaine around there's still a ton of Story potential with him and Aracely.
