That left him briefly with none costume to put on round city, however longtime frenemy Johnny “Human Torch” Storm lent a hand, giving Parker one among his personal further fits, a paper lunch bag to place over his face, and a “Kick me” signal surreptitiously taped to his again for good measure.

Reduce to 20 years later, when Marvel revealed that the unlucky double was alive in any case, had dyed his hair blond, began calling himself Ben Reilly, and was preventing crime below the identification of the Scarlet Spider.

However you possibly can’t preserve an excellent or dangerous Spider-Man down, so Ben was inevitably revived as soon as extra throughout the Clone Conspiracy storyline in 2014.
