Ben Reilly Deserved BETTER

Welcome or welcome back to the stash!
Ben Reilly. The Scarlet Spider. The Spider-Man who almost was.
From his debut in The Amazing Spider-Man #149, to becoming the Scarlet Spider in the 1990s, to his tragic death at the hands of the Green Goblin… and every messy resurrection since Ben Reilly has had one of the most complicated journeys in Marvel history.
He isn’t just a clone of Peter Parker. He’s a character defined by loss, resilience, and the hope of starting fresh. And yet, time and time again, Marvel has taken that potential away.
In this video, we’re diving deep into Ben Reilly’s story - his origins, his rise as Spider-Man, his fall, and his many returns. We’ll explore why fans still love him, why the Scarlet Spider hoodie remains iconic, and ultimately… why Ben Reilly DESERVED better.
Stick around until the end, where I’ll also share some of my personal favorite Ben Reilly comic covers from my own collection.
