To say that Bailey Briggs (aka Spider-Boy) has had a rocky start in the Marvel Universe would be a massive understatement. For starters, the entire world literally forgot that he even existed. As bad as that is for Bailey in and of itself, things have become progressively worse, as he begins to follow a particularly heartbreaking trend that has plagued several other heroes who have worn the mantle of Spider-Man.Spider-Boy #1’s “Solo Run” (by Dan Slott, Paco Medina, Erick Arciniega, and VC’s Joe Caramagna) features the titular hero facing off against members of his old rogues gallery. While the partially indestructible yet otherwise human Gutterball is little more than a nuisance for Spider-Boy, it isn’t long before a far more capable villain makes their own explosive reintroduction. During what should have been a celebratory occasion, Spider-Boy is accosted by the hulking Hellifino who not only shares a near identical origin story with Spider-Boy, but continues a longstanding Spider-Man tradition of heroes watching their closest friends be dragged into darkness.As seen through a flashback sequence, Hellifino was once Bailey’s friend Eli, a fellow captive of the malicious Madame Monstrosity who was subjected to horrific experiments under her watch. Like Bailey, Eli was kidnapped and held captive until it was time for him to undergo the transformative process that led to the creation of Madame Monstrosity’s other Humanimals. Worse still, it was Bailey who inadvertently decided what form Eli would take on, and all for the crime of trying to find some silver lining amidst the abject horror they were being made to endure.Spider-Man: Miles Morales Has No Chance of Beating Marvel’s Newest VampireEvery Spider-Man Comic Currently Running (& Their Most Recent Issue)
