hope the folks at my LCS refer to me as “the Ben Reilly guy” because of the podcast and conversations, and not because of the blond dye job and periods of noticeable mental illness

If you learn nothing else from me yelling about Ben Reilly/Scarlet Spider on @cloneconspiracy.bsky.social, just know that he canonically has a fatter ass than Peter Parker, per Black Cat

It’s Ben, and it’s a bit convoluted. The not well-collected 1995 Spider-Man Holiday Special has a Ben and Johnny story.
Ben has memories of being friends with Johnny (everything published from Amazing Fantasy 15 up to, roughly, 1972), since he has Peter’s memories up to the point of cloning.

Since the last episode of @cloneconspiracy.bsky.social and an off-hand joke about J. Jonah Jameson’s “werewolf-astronaut son”, I’ve had a surprising number of questions from non-Spider-Man fans about, uh, that.

a subset of the Parker Luck is the “Reilly Luck”, which is just an extreme version of the Parker Luck combined with poor decision making (like stealing a skeleton from the morgue and storing it in your closet for 12 issues)

Our hardworking team (@scottfree.bsky.social) has determined - through careful study - that the beginning of Spectacular Spider-Man 231 is the point at which Ben Reilly is the happiest he would be in the 90s.
That’s science, baby.
That’s science, baby.

Web-Slinger (Patrick O’Hara) is the cowboy Spider-Man of Earth-31913, and the indignity of his blond brother, Ben, being a Confederate soldier. 😭
