It wasn't until 2017's Dead No More: The Clone Conspiracy that we'd see Reilly again, with a reveal that Warren had resurrected and killed him multiple times, leading to Reilly going insane and turning into a villain.Ĭrowning himself as the new Jackal, Reilly took over Warren's cloning facilities and established a place called Haven, harbouring the reanimated clones of Peter Parker's various friends and enemies who died over the years. Again, fans thought this was the last we'd see of Reilly. Reilly ultimately sacrificed himself to save Peter and rapidly deteriorated, confirming he was the clone. Ultimately, it was all a ploy where Norman Osborn falsified Peter's clonehood. There was some serious friction behind the scenes of Marvel Comics at this time, which wasn't helped by Clone Saga retconning retcons. A shocked Parker retired from fighting crime and Reilly briefly became Spider-Man. The reason Clone Saga is so hated is that it revealed our Peter Parker is actually a clone, making Reilly the original. After defeating Venom, Reilly becomes the heroic Scarlet Spider. He returned in 1994's Web of Spider-Man #118, having survived his apparent death and taken on the name of Ben Reilly after living in exile. The character was killed in the same issue, and many thought that was that.

Introduced in 1975's The Amazing Spider-Man #149, Reilly was an unnamed clone of Peter Parker who was created by the villain Miles Warren, aka Jackal.

What you might not know is that while Reilly might be a popular comic-book character now, he was once a divisive addition to Marvel lore thanks to his part in the hated Clone Saga of the '90s. He's the brooding hero from Earth-94, spending his time moping and flexing his muscles. With Ben Reilly only having a relatively minor role in Across the Spider-Verse, we don't get to learn much about the character in this universe.
