Perhaps no Spider-Man storyline has proven as divisive as the epic “Clone Saga” which ran for over two years in the mid-1990s. It chronicled the replacement of Peter Parker by his clone Ben Reilly, who had spent the last five years in exile. During the tumultuous event, Peter’s beloved aunt died, he discovered his wife was pregnant, and for a time he even thought he was a clone. The sprawling epic, which spanned over two hundred comics, ended with a return to the status quo when Ben died and Peter’s baby was abducted and never seen again. Fans seem to either love or hate the saga, but a closer look at the stories within it reveals a mix of good and bad stories.While many of the “Clone Saga”‘s stories are convoluted to the point they turn off readers, others feature interesting character dynamics and emotional milestones that help this milestone event endure as a memorable and intriguing chapter in Spider-Man’s history. Whether it’s the loss of a parental figure or the struggle to forge one’s own distinct identity, many of the saga’s stories demonstrate that greatness can still be found within an epic that’s been dismissed by critics and fans alike.Scarlet Spider’s first foray into heroism also demonstrated the various weapons Ben used to compensate for his rusty fighting skills. He defeated Venom with the help of his impact webbing, rapidly expanding balls of webbing, and tranquilizing “stingers.” Between his attitude toward Venom and his innovative approach to crime fighting, he established a contrast between himself and Peter Parker.
