Benjamin Reilly

Ben Reilly Age: 25 and a half (He was cloned to be 3 and a half years older than Peter.) Status: Alive Gender: Male Marital Status: Single Sexuality: Gay Ben Reilly is a young man in mid 20s, born as a clone of Spider Man for the purpose to torment the original. He was engineered in a lab using experimental tech that Miles Warren had created using a DNA sample of Peter's blood on the ground from one of his more intense fights. Originally, Ben was awoken with the memories from Peter himself, he believes he and Peter are one and the same, for a period in time. This works fine, until it doesn't. After a bunch of back and forth, Ben realizes Peter was correct. He fashions his name out of two very important names, at least to Peter. Ben, like his uncle, Benjamin. And the surname, Reilly was picked after Peter's Aunt, May. Eventually he makes the decision to ditch Peter's original outfit and look, trying on a tweaked version he thinks is more himself. Not a look that Peter would pick, but one that he, Ben, would pick. It was simple, objectively speaking. But it worked. Golden colored anklets, a silver belt with a ruby colored latch so it buckles, a blue sleeveless hoodie with white drawstrings and a singular black spider on the frontside. And underneath was the traditional Spider Man suit. After he cobbled his own suit together, he sought out independence and individuality. On the goal to individuality, he had dyed his hair blond and piercings on his earlobes. Not that he really uses earrings, but when he does he puts in tiny spider earrings, bought in a seasonal store near Halloween. Somewhere alongside the odd jobs, travel, changing, and learning, he became a vigilante. At one point, he was manipulated, used, and gaslit by villains to attempt to get him to kill Spider Man, and he almost did. But Spider Man snapped him out of it. He is still thankful to this day that Spider Man was able to reach him. But he blames himself for not realizing himself. As per strength, he has everything Spider Man has, like his Superhuman Strength, Speed, and Reflexes, the Wall Crawling, Accelerated Healing. But over his time in learning science more thoroughly, he improved his web shooters. Now his web shooters only expand on impact, prevent the destruction of the webs when somebody tries to cut it, this also improves the hold of the webs, when something is caught in them. He also is better at hand to hand combat than Peter, due to his vigilante side.

Modern Marvel Universe, New York City. A half year after the events of No Way Home, Peter, age 19 and a half, got into a fight with a thug which he knocked out, as Spider Man, of course. The CTV camera above was hacked to watch, and an agent was sent to swab Spider Man's blood. The clone was made. The clone though he was the same as Peter, and therefore doesn't believe Miles that there was ever a clone at all. One year after he was cloned, Ben started to try and be a hero, but eventually left the scene to hone his skills. A month after Ben left to hone his skills, Peter Parker graduates with his degree, but remains isolated. Then, the next year on April First, Ben Reilly has returned, after two and a half years of being inactive he returns as a vigilante known as the Scarlet Spider.
