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

5. Scarlet Spider (Ben Reilly)

Spider Man Into The Spider Verse
Marvel Comics

It would be a disservice not to start this entry by talking about Ben Reilly's iconic blue hoodie and red spider-suit look. A revelation for Spider-Fashion.

Another clone of Peter created by The Jackal to best his nemesis, Ben finds his orders to be confusing as he shares the same memories and values as Peter Parker. After he was believed to be defeated, Ben returned to New York some time later as his desire to be a hero drew him back.

In the comic storyline for Spider-Verse, a version of Ben Reilly is presented as being from a universe where he is the main Spider-Man, everything is perfect for him and he has never lost a battle or been defeated. His undefeated record gives this version of Ben unshakable confidence, as being part of a universe where he cannot fail has allowed him to escape the trappings of self-doubt most Spider-Men seem to inherently have.
