    Ben Reilly

    Character » Ben Reilly appears in 701 issues.

    The second and most successful clone of Spider-Man created by the Jackal. A superhero known as the Scarlet Spider, Reilly later replaced Peter Parker for a time as Spider-Man after he found out that all this time he was the original and not Peter. Ben met his ultimate demise in the fight against the Green Goblin which led to Peter becoming Spider-Man once again, after he found out that he is the real Spider-Man after all.

    Marvel just released this image to "POINT ONE", along with a summary of what that will entail!

    "Point One is a massive one-shot of 64 all-new pages of story by the top creators in the business, setting the stage for the biggest stories coming in 2012. It is the starting point to what’s in store for the world’s most iconic characters and startling events. Point One serves as the launch pad for dynamic new series, the return of fan-demanded characters, and a shocking teaser that will have everyone talking. See how all it comes together in one gigantic epic!” – Tom Brevoort, Senior Vice President, Executive Editor

    I liked Scarlet Spider but he should stay dead.

    I hope it's an entirely new Scarlet Spider.

    Marvel is not really good at hiding its plots from people. The costume I like so far but think the person should have matching pants with the costume. something to really bring out his eyes... >_>

    Being a Scarlet Spider is like being in the Mafia. There is only one way out and that's in a body bag. :p

    I really really don't think that Marvel would be crazy enough to replace Peter as Spider-man...that was their biggest mistake with the Clone Saga....I don't think they'd do that again

    @Red_Lightning_Alpha:  Its Ben alright. apparently im guessing he shows up to the spider-crew and says he is spider-man to hide peters real identity. which im guessing peter has to lay low for a while and letting Ben do all the hero business.

    Well, for those people who are reading Spider Island...

    Remember, there's supposedly an "expert" on the Spider epidemic working in Modell's labs, and he/she has yet to be revealed. If ever Ben is going to be coming back, it's going to be then.

    @War Killer: it looks like the same costume same except the red spandex has been turnes to black, hopefully they'll keep the webshooters and the pouches on his legs always though that looked cool and it would be pretty cool to see the various poses of him changeing cartridges in mid-air. Also it looks like the red area on his hands are fingerless gloves over the black spandex probably with built in web-shooters

    Ffs, why Marvel, well as long as they don't kill Pete, or make his not the real spidey anyway thing. or it could be a new character which I hope and thin because of this:

    i have heard some people saying that we don't know if this new spider character spins (pun intended) directly out of the spider island story line but the fact that point one and asm 673 are coming out in the same month is awfully convenient. I hope that it is ben, he should never have died in the first place. spidey could use some backup that doesnt involve the avengers!

    i'm having this strange feeling that the new scarlet spider is going to be MJ, i think if it is her than we can kiss good bye to seeing Ben back anytime soon. This would be the best time to bring him back but i just feel that it won't be him. I hope i'm wrong, although i would like to see MJ keep her powers

    though having said that i have just read through the my spider island issues this bit of dialogue is interesting

    peter - your working on a cure? can i help?

    reed - number 6 and i have it covered

    peter - but i'm an expert in parker dna

    reed - so are they

    peter - what?!

    So is number six Ben Reilly?!

    I wondering why no one seem to think that the new scarlet spider maybe Kaine, after all from my understanding Kaine is said to have a big role to play for many things spiderman for now on.

    @Red_Lightning_Alpha: I not so sure that could be him,  that group that guy you are talking about is stated to be something connecting to  the x-force because of the current dark angel arc that is also stated to have no connection to spiderman, besides I only thought of Kaine because I think if anyone would take up the scarlet spider mantle it would be him, because of his connection with Ben Riley. Also they  to be preparing him for something if his actions mean anything .

    @gethere: yeah your right sorry i forgot about that teaser, it must be kaine who will become the scarlet spider the only problem is hes a little dark and crazy unless they change his personality with events of ASM 671, i would like it to be ben but i think i may be clutching at straws, i like kaine so i will have to settle i think
