Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse - 10 Spider-Men Who Could Appear

9. Scarlet Spider (Kaine)

Spider Man Into The Spider Verse
Marvel Comics

The Jackal's first attempt at cloning Peter Parker, Kaine Parker has a number of additional powers, including limited precognition and retractable spikes in his forearms. However, Jackal didn't account for a flaw in the cloning process, which resulted in Kaine becoming increasingly deformed and mentally unstable as time went on.

Although he viewed Kaine as a failure, Jackal kept him alive for testing purposes which Kaine was very aware of, causing him to become bitter and eventually resent his creator.

During the events of Spider-Island Kaine was exposed to the Anti-Venom symbiote, which not only cured him of the contagion Jackal released, it repaired the flaws in his DNA, returning his visage and giving him mental clarity.

After being cured of his deformities, Kaine moved to Texas to live a more quiet life but, as most Spider-Men learn, this never lasts. Kaine donned the Scarlet Spider mantle and began fighting crime in his newfound home.
