Peter Parker or Ben Reilly?

they made the right decision

Making a good story idea into crap was the right decision?

It wasn't a good story idea. You don't take somebody who many fans have grown up with and all of the sudden say their just a clone.

Don't make me choose. 🙁

I can't help but love any Peter I'm shown. If I had my way all the clones would have lived,moved in with eachother and fight crime while having wacky misunderstandings.

I love Peter Parkers that much. 😮

Peter rocks

being a clone wouldn't have changed what he'd done. What's wrong with that?

Peter Parker is the one true Spider-man. I really liked Ben Reilly. Quite in fact I liked him more than Peter. He had a lot of potential in his stories if they decided to do something flesh with him, but no they did not. Peter is the one true Spider-Man and I always believed it. They should not have killed Ben. He still had a lot of potential even as a clone.

Peter Parker is the best there is, best there was ,and the best there ever will be. He is the one, the only, Spider-man.

Perhaps Peter will use the name Ben Reilly in the near future. I imagine that the writers are going to want to give him back some sort of anonymity, but other than using a Ben Reilly type Identity, I don't see how they'd do it after Civil War.

Are you saying he would fake his death and pretend to be Ben Reilly? That is actually a really good idea.

Hopefully the writers come up with something better than killing of Mary Jane and Aunt May..... Again

The only problem with the clone saga is how long the editors dragged it out. They should've capped it off after a year and a half or so. Maybe got their stories out with "What If...?"

Though I must admit I am a fan of a number of the Ben Reilly as Spider-Man stories, as well as much of the clone saga.

Actually there is one mistake I think was bigger than the neverending-ness of the storyline. ... The death of Ben Reilly. I mean really, could they have thought of a more idiotic end for him?

Well you never know with comics. He may appear again someday.

Ben Reilly is a pile of dust.

I'd love to see how they could bring that back.

I have seen crazy things in comic books. How many times has Jean Grey come back to life?

Jean Grey was never turned to dust.

Nah never turned to dust. Incinerated, but never turned to dust.

Jean's numerous deaths, is not CRAZY. One should really comprehend what a PHOENIX does mean: Jean dies only to live again... so does Phoenix.

I know what Phoenix means, I was using her as an example. Many comic characters have come back to life ... The green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, Elektra. The list goes on and on.
