Miguel, Jess, and another familiar Spider-hero emerge out of a portal as we hear Miguel implore every Spidey in the Lobby to “stop Spider-Man.” And we get a quick close up of that third hero immediately: it’s none other than the Scarlet Spider, the alternate identity of the iconic Ben Reilly. The clone of Peter Parker introduced in the infamous Clone Saga comic arc, Ben has taken on many mantles in the comics, including the prime Spider-Man identity several times. He’s most recently become the villainous Chasm, but the Scarlet Spider was one of his first heroic identities.
