How?I'm not being snarky, just genuinely asking, as I haven't read anything about him. What can he do? I mean, I know he's Ben Reilly and has that new look and all, what are his actual feats?

Oh okay, my bad.
As far as speed goes, he's not really a speedster, but he is capable of bursts of speed due to his strength; like when he tackled Diana through that harbour.
What do the stingers do?

Just stab, iirc, but he's cut through various metals with them. I wanted to say he could paralyze, but I think that was just Pete with his "The Other" upgrades. He can also burn you via touch through a biochemical process. Otherwise, he's a less refined, slightly more barbaric version of Spidey. More strength, too. Class 30 at least.
They'd have a hard time putting down Arthur.

Those stingers are basically a one-shot-win plot device weapon. Pete's killed Morlun with them. Kaine one-shotted Wolverine (back when he had his HF), and one-shot killed The Queen, a 60-foot tall monster that stomped Avengers (including Rulk, Iron Man, Wolverine and others) and shrugged off everything they threw at it.
I used to have a theory about those stingers and few months ago it was actually confirmed in a comic. Short version - Pete has an alternative magical origin story and those stingers (along with his spider sense) is just another supernatural ability he has. Or more like gets the moment he embraces his hunter/killer spider side. And while Pete has it under control, Kaine most of the time doesn't give a crap, so uses them any time he feels like it.
Kaine is pretty tough, and his stingers aren't to be underestimated, but Logan let him do what he did, and the stingers did absolutely nothing to Venom. As long as Kaine doesn't land a heart or brain shot right away, and given Arthur's pretty impressive damage soak he should be able to take at the very least one shot from the stingers.

@Stilt why do you think their stingers are different? Iirc Pete even pointed out that they're the same, gotta look it up though.
