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.

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
