    Default PAD: Ben Reilly Returns?

    I don't see any mention of this yet, so I figured I'd start a thread. According to Peter David's blog, we may be seeing the return of the Scarlet Spider-Man. I'm not a Spidey reader, but I figured someone cares. :D
    Finishing proofreading "Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #14." As to what's coming up in that issue, two words: Ben Reilly. I will say no more than that (okay, Deb Whitman and the Vulture). But...Ben Reilly.

    Maybe the "Evil Uncle Ben" is going to take this name?

    Is it me or is Friendly Neigbourhood really pushing it's luck?

    First off evil uncle Ben, then retconning (unless it was just one of his tricks) Mysterio'ss death now Ben Reilly? What next De Wolfe turns up? Kraven digs himself out of his grave? Norman Osborn clone? Really it is pushing it's luck in what it does.

    I read Friendly Neighbourhood and I don't much care for it, it seems to be just somthing dedicated to Retcons at the moment.

    Yeah, the "Evil Ben" taking the name would be a possibility. I just don't see it being the Scarlet Spider though.

    i think too, that a return of ben reilly (whatever the explanation will be) doesn't mean a return of scarlet-spider.

    and the evil uncle ben... didn't liked it.

    With the revolving door of characters in SM I am not surprised to hear this. However, I would really be surprised if it was the same Ben Reilly we all know and love. PAD would really be pushing it....

    If it's well-written, I'd like to see the Scarlet Spider in action again... I miss that costume of his, as well as his impact webbing (got myself a Heroclix figure of the Scarlet Spider, it looks real good).

    So the way things are now the clone saga never exist right? Meaning no dead Aunt May or Doc Oct. And no Kaine or other spider clone right??!!

    If that is the case then it should hurt to bring Ben back into the mix. They just don't have to go down the Maxium Cloneage route. Keep it down to one clone maybe change the story up a little. They did with everything else.

    Dollars to donuts, that'll be the case.

    I'm one of the few people who love the scarlet spider and I personally would like him to come back. I loved him but yet did'nt like the idea that he took over for peter. I prefer that he has his own series or joins a team. I'd really be damn happy if they brought him back though :)

    I have a question. Now I know that Ben Reilly appeared to have died in ASM #149. But then Peter threw him into a smokestack. Now:

    1) How did he survive the blast?

    2) Survive being thrown into an active smokestack?

    I believe it was stated that The Jackal had rescued him from the smokestack before it blew. Not entirely sure though. Plus, it was always difficult to discern whether or not he was lying and in many cases, it was never really certain either way.

    I was a fan of the SS too, although his death seemed pretty clean cut :( Methinks any duplicate Peter will be more connected to 'The Other' than Ben.

    I may be remembering wrong, but I don't think Reilly ever went down the smokestack. I believe the Jackal spirited away Ben after the explosion, and left behind an already-dead clone. This is the one that Peter dumped in the smokestack, and it's remains were still there years later.

    Yeah, I think that's it, actually.
