SCARLET SPIDER (KAINE)

Strength

• Out of costume, crushes a high-speed car by swinging and landing on it, without injuries.

Gallery

• An enraged Kaine beats down Salamander in a couple hits.

Gallery

• Overcomes Venom's grip and uppercuts him with stingers, proving that they can hurt symbiotes.

• In the Microverse, Scarlet Spider rips off the jaw of an amoeba.

• Despite being tied in chains designed to withstand even Spider-Man's peak strength, Kaine is able to break them and escape.

Gallery

• After being pummeled by Superior Spider-Man while trying to negotiate, Scarlet Spider kicks SpOck once and makes him fall. SpOck even states how Kaine is unbelievably stronger than he is, and how he can barely think after a hit like that.

Gallery

Speed/Agility

• Kaine (out of suit), is able to easily dodge tons of bullets.

• Pushes Dr. Meland out of the way so quickly that the assassin doesn't even notice him there. Kaine then cloaks and gets the drop on his opponent, appearing right in front of him, and dodges a point-blank sniper shot.

Gallery

• Catches an arrow shot at him from behind, dodges bullets, and uses the zombie assassin to absorb the impact of the bullets.

Gallery

• After cloaking, Kaine proceeds to speed blitz the entire Assassin's Guild team sent at him with ease. Not even the (street-level) speedster, Harvester can keep up with him.

• While swinging, Scarlet Spider evades automatic Uzi gunfire from a speeding van.

• Knocks the gun out of a slave trafficker's hand before he can fire his weapon.

• Kaine barely notices Zoe as she is falling down the building, still manages to save her, dodges flaming debris, and strategically places webbing to save civilians from any injuries/death from the debris.

Gallery

• As he dodges automatic gunfire, Kaine is able to kick the employee out of harm's way.

• Dodging gunfire from two thugs with automatic weapons.

• Evades gunfire from multiple hired thugs, and pushes Officer Layton out of the way.

• Scarlet Spider speed blitz and humiliates a whole gang of thugs dressed as Santa with MP5s.

• Dodges Iceman's numerous projectiles with absolute ease.

• Dodges multiple energy blasts from Candra (Red Death) and Bella Donna.

Gallery

• After being blasted out of the room, disorientated, by a rocket, Kaine still manages to web up all his friends before they splatter across the pavement.

Gallery

Durability

• The Scarlet Spider costume has regenerative abilities.

• In SCARLET SPIDER #24, we learn that Kaine's costume has unstable molecules which renders it completely fireproof.

• Kaine is able to endure being slashed by Ana Kravinoff's poisoned knife directly twice, and is still able to engage in combat.

Gallery

• Gets ambushed by The Rangers and is hit by an array of different powers. Still, his suit is completely fine and he doesn't seem to have any major injuries.

• Carnage stabs right through Kaine with a tendril, and yet the Scarlet Spider simply removes it and shrugs it off.

• Already weakened, Kaine gets punched by Bruiser and bounces back to the fight instantly (literally).

• Scarlet Spider tanks getting hit by Armadillo numerous times without significant injuries.

Gallery

• Gets blasted full-on by Candra and Bella Donna in the midst of battle and is still able to get up.

Gallery

• Suffering from hallucinating poison, a Kaine that is holding back due to his shock from "Ben Reilly's" appearance, actually Kraven (2 tonner) impersonating him is hit by endless blows but still manages to be able to fight back (after he snaps).

Gallery

Stealth

• Despite not being in his suit with cloaking technology, Kaine is experienced with using the darkness to stealthily take out opponents.

• Sneaks up on a mugger without him even knowing after spying on him for an extended period of time. Kaine also states he "sees it all" inferring he is fast enough to monitor multiple activities around the city at the same time.

• As the SWAT Team comes in to disarm the bomb, Scarlet Spider is cloaked and the forces are unable to see him.

• Not even the Assassin's Guild can keep up with Scarlet Spider's cloaking, especially considering how swift he is.

Gallery

• Kaine sneaks up on the Assassin's Guild yet again, this time in a very populated restaurant before revealing his position.

Gallery

• An Assassin's Guild operative is unable to track down Kaine, even with his special visor.

• With Wolverine, Kaine infiltrates the Guild's headquarters, and, without cloaking, stealth kills multiple assassins.

Gallery

Miscellaneous

• Kaine can speak fluent Japanese.

• Scarlet Spider showing the ability to communicate to spiders in a huge radius, even being able to see what they see from across the entire city to track down a bomb.

Gallery

• Saving a man from very heavy fires and a collapsing building that even the firefighters couldn't take out.

Gallery

• Punching Twister (not much of a feat but I like it).

The Other/Ascended Scarlet Spider

• Kaine holds his own against Shathra for a short period of time, until he absolutely wrecks her when he turns into Ascended Kaine to save Wally.

Gallery

• Versus two tigers, then fights Ana Kravinoff once again. Kaine holds back the majority of the fight, but when he's done "playing with her", he beats her in a few hits.

Gallery

• Versus Kraven. Kaine holds back the entire fight, and takes a severe beating from the hunter. But, like his daughter, once the Scarlet Spider doesn't hold back, he one-shots his opponent.

Gallery

FEATS WILL BE UPDATED AS THE ISSUES ROLL OUT.

Sweet thread, shame the series is getting cancelled

I can't stand it! It's not fair! Scarlet Spider is at least ten times better than Superior Spider-Man and it's getting canned. Shame on you Marvel. Shame on you!

Great job! Hopefully marvel has other plans for Kaine (plans written by yost and drawn by Stegman preferably)

Shame he's getting canceled.

But question is Kaine only stronger than Spider-man in his current form in his suit? or is he just physically superior?

Incredible respect. Lots of good scans for me to use.

@wolverine08: Much appreciated brother!

@youmessinwithme: Kaine was always superior to Spider-Man in nearly every area. Classic Kaine fought Peter and Ben Reilly both at the same time. Current Scarlet Spider Kaine is about the same if you ask me. The only downside is he doesn't have Spider-Senses anymore.

@jashro44: Thanks! And yeah I hope so too. I don't want this to be the end of the road for Scarlet Spider.

That's some Deathstroke level badassery right there.

Agreed

Kaine was the real Superior Spiderman, if you ask me.

Updated with Kaine's fight against Kraven.

Kaine is awesome. I can't wait to see the feats he pulls in the New Warriors.

They'll probably be even more impressive seeing as Nova is in the team, and the enemies will be significantly more powerful.

Just had a funny image of Kaine giving Nova "the talk" When it comes to Aracely.

LMAO. He'll probably try and use some really bad spider analogy with "webbing" and stuff.

@theacidskull: Thank you good sir!

@mitran: Thanks. Are you following the series?

Yeah it really sucks. At least he's going to be in New Warriors.

Same here.

Going to be picking up the most current issue today. Hope it's good.

It's absolutely superb. The ending is also great.

the ending of the latest issue was really really good, however with that said im scared we might just run out of time before they can finish Kaine's story of redemption

Same here. I'm confident Yost can pull it off though.

This is genuinely perfect.

It is a pretty dope respect thread. Even used it for a CaV. Lol.

@colonelrunaway@wolverine08:

Just to let you guys know I have added a durability feat from SCARLET SPIDER #24.

Kaine trying to set the uniform on fire was hilarious ol

It was such a fail lol.

Ah Scarlet Spider, Teaching us that any problem can be solved with Punching.

Even bringing people to life :D

So Kraven Knows Spideys Identity O.o???????????
