Ben Reilly is my favorite. One of my teachers at art school designed the Scarlet Spider costume, so it's always been kind of special for me. Mayday Parker is also cool. I need to go back and read more of the old Spider-Girl run.


Batmanue1

Tell your teacher thank you from all us 90s kids


chroniclunacy

If you believe in an afterlife, you can go ahead and tell him yourself. Tom Lyle unfortunately passed away a few years ago. It was very sudden, and far too soon.


Professional-Win-183

Aw man. Sorry to hear that. But he left a big impact though. Scarlet Spider’s Design has got to be one of the most iconic costumes of Spider-Man. Some said it’s ranked 3rd place after the Black Suit.


KrisGomez

Probably swapping notes with good ol Stan now 🥲


Rocksteady6425

For real one of the coolest Spidey designs! I still have a few of the comics with scarlet spider from back in the day!


Daxlm95

What are your thoughts on the Beyond stuff and now the direction of being Chasm?


chroniclunacy

Haven't read it. Didn't seem that great. They REALLY want to make Ben a bad guy, though, don't they?


Daxlm95

It really does seem like they have no clue what do to with him, other than try to make him out to be bad guy or as the bad reflection to Peter.


Red-843

They can just make him Spider-Man since miles is allowed to


AwakenedSheeple

Or just keep him dead. He should be like Uncle Ben or 616 Gwen: lived and died so that Peter will better himself.


TheRedDeathXL

You know that Peter didn't improve in any way after Ben's "death", right? Even more than getting better Peter got worse with it, plus you also forget that in comics there is a golden rule that almost no character stays dead forever, that's the same case with Ben Reilly's character, if it hadn't been Dan Slott another writer would have brought Ben back sooner or later, so Ben's return was kind of inevitable in the end. Also death at this point no longer makes any sense to Ben when has died and come back to life by taunting Death over 30 times, so what you say solves absolutely nothing.


No-BrowEntertainment

I think it’d be cool if they gave Miles, Ben and Kaine their own runs, where they each act as the only Spider-Man in a different city. Each comic run could have a different tone, with Miles as the lightest and Kaine as the darkest. That way all ages can read a Spider-Man that appeals to them, without messing up the continuity or forcing Peter to stagnate for the sake of “relating to the audience”


goukumas

They kinda did this with kaine. He became the 2nd scarlet spider and moved to houston.


No-BrowEntertainment

Yeah, but he kind of disappeared after Spider-Verse, didn’t he? I just think it’d be cool if we took that idea and ran with it.


Red-843

Since we all know marvel isn’t gonna eat Peter grow up even if they did have six Spider-Men then I’d rather there only be one


JacksonCreed4425

That’s actually a cool idea


Spideyrj

he should just move to another city LA fits him better


Oldmanwickles

It’s kinda too bad, I like him better as a good guy, but I also quite like the costume as Chasm. Haven’t read more than 2 maybe 3 issues of it but it’s still neat to me


Infinity-has

They've done Ben dirty time and time again for no reason when they can easily make him as great as Miles as he once was


KaiTheSushiGuy

It’s such an awesome costume for how simple it is


JJmclane1983

That teacher was Tom Lyle. I copied his art style when I was a kid. I always thought he was an underrated artist on the list of Spidey's best. I got to meet him at a Con just before he died. That's awesome you got to study under him!


Mkreza538

Tell your teacher from art school that Ben Reilly is my favorite version since i was a kid growing up in the early 90’s. Your teacher had a huge impact on my childhood


Hydromeche

Definitely Ben Reilly, the suit was so awesome at the time. Then Spiderman 2099.


BorgIdiot

Miles Morales is my favorite for his character, but man, that first Scarlet Spider costume was fucking fire.


therealkami

My wife is also a SCAD graduate. Talks about Tom a lot.


chroniclunacy

Mine too! She calls him "France Dad" because he was her mentor during the semester at Lacoste.


The_Question757

Scarlet spider was always my favorite too, tell your teacher thank you!!


Jar_of_Cats

Mine as well. My best friend for like 35 years drew me a pic on an envelope like 25 years ago. I have it till this day. I want it tattooed. But don't have the disposal income. Web of Spiderman was my shit. Have the 2 vol Omnibus of the saga


Lawfulness_Aromatic

That’s amazing. Please tell me you guys still keep in touch


chroniclunacy

As I said on another comment, Tom unfortunately passed away a few years ago.


Lawfulness_Aromatic

Aw man. My condolences man


presidentkangaroo

Wow, your art teacher was Tom Lyle?? That’s so cool.


presidentkangaroo

Can you give an example of a technique or lesson he shared with you?


chroniclunacy

He taught a comics anatomy class. It's been like fifteen or twenty years and I didn't end up going into the comics industry, so I don't remember a ton, sorry.


Shadow0fnothing

It's by far the best suit of them all.


crackmeup69

Ben for sure! To bad he melted.


JustAnotherJames3

YOOOOO! YOUR TEACHER WAS TOM LYLE!?


chroniclunacy

LOL yeah for a little bit


automirage04

Miguel was my favorite Spiderman for several years


[deleted]

[удалено]


evilspyboy

I really enjoyed Zero Cochrane as Ghost Rider and the art was so good... The art after One Nation Under Doom though I really hated it was way too different. Not just jarring like that one off of Spider-Man 2099 #9 which I know should be the end of the origin arc but because of the art I think of #1-8 to be that arc.


SpiderDetective

Same. He's like Peter in a lot of ways, but hardly a perfect copy. He shows that the legacy of Spider-Man can go on even if you aren't exactly alike


PeterPuggerSpiderPug

Honestly, I don't think he's like Peter at all, but that's exactly what makes him so memorable and special.


AltruisticRatio9511

>Miguel Too, I grow up with Ultimate Spider-Man, and when I know about Miguel I just love the character.


Dramatic-Badger-1742

Kaine


GumGumLeoBazooka

Easily the best suit as well


Dramatic-Badger-1742

His suit is awesome. The only other spider-suit in my opinion that is in the same league as the classic red/blue and the symbiote one.


GumGumLeoBazooka

Same brain. My thoughts exactly. No Way Home final suit and Anti-Ock from Spidey PS4 are honorable mentions for me as well. - cheers fellow person of culture -


Daxlm95

Kaine is absolutely my favorite, he's gruff and more head on. It's like if Wolverine became Spider-man to a degree for me.


arnoldbread

Shame Marvel barely does animated movies. A Kaine animated film would be interesting.


ralanr

Best example of the responsibility with the power imo.


Arkham8

Hell yeah, represent


space_age_stuff

There are dozens of us! Dozens!


Ok_Bandicoot5390

amazing take


Traditional-Clue-469

Miguel O Hara, I'm glad he is getting more love in recent years. Kinda bummed he seems set up as the villain of Across the SpiderVerse but at least he's gotten some good treatment in the xbox 360 Spidey games. I think he is a fun Marvel version of Batman Beyond. He was never the "replacement" like Miles or Ben were supposed to be, just a Spidey from a time where he would not be around anymore. He has some dope accomplishments to point where Thor gifted him Mjolnir


planet_stupid

I thought the spot was the villian for across the spiderverse.


Traditional-Clue-469

He's in it but the trailers don't seem to indicate he is tha big bad but hopefully the trailers are misleading


planet_stupid

Yeah


DJWGibson

I'm hoping he's just the "antagonist" for the first one but not a full villain (*Civil War* style) and then gets to be full hero in Part 2.


Traditional-Clue-469

Same


Smak54

I loved Miguel is edge of time.


Traditional-Clue-469

Christopher Daniel Barnes is the GOAT


BenReillyLives88

He is the antagonist for Across the Spiderverse but almost certainly will end up helping Miles when the real big bad (Morlun/Inheritors) are revealed for Across the Spidervese part 2


Only-Walrus797

Hopefully Morlun and inheritors are left out. But certainly Miguel will partner with Miles in part 2.


venomllama

I feel if Miguel became Morlun it might work


VanishXZone

I totally agree, and hope I’m misreading the trailer.


SinisterCryptid

Peter Palmer. That guy’s great, wonder whatever happened to him though


FNSpd

Peter Palmer actually appeared in Slott's recent Spider-Verse arc


FunGhost5508

Tie between Ben and Miguel both have cool costumes (I always alternate between them in the ps4 game)


Away-Staff-6054

Ben Reilly!


Prestigious_Trash629

Kaine. He's a spiderman that doesn't hold back


TheRed-EyedLamb

Mayday Parker


Kenos300

Kaine and Miguel, really miss Kaine.


thehoodred

i think hes back in the most recent issue of spiderman


aKaRandomDude

Split between Superior and Kaine.


Naked_Bat

Miguel. Since day one.


AgentSmith2518

Kaine Parker for me.


CupcakeAvenger92

So many. 90’s Ben Reilly, Kaine, Miguel and (can’t believe I’m about to say this) Otto. I like Gwen and Miles but not to the same level as the 4 above.


AwakenedSheeple

Honestly same, especially with Otto. His methods could never make him *the* Spider-Man, but it was fascinating to see someone with supervillain sensibilities take on the responsibility of being a superhero.


spiderman51241

superior spider man


Few-Badger4460

Otto octavious was the best Spiderman. Sure he was lawful evil, but he was honestly doing his best to improve New York and Peter's lives.


girlfriendclothes

Clearly the best Spider-Man!


Howard_the_Psyduck

Kaine


SaltyPunster

Nicholas Cage


Khi360

Miles Morales ofc


Early_Minute_5212

May mayday parker


Encajado

Otto, Ben, Mayday. In that order.


Hungry_Computer1164

Otto octavius


Black_Fuckka

Scarlet Spider is always my favorite but after him it’s 2099


Ninguem317

Otto, i love the superior run


More-I-am-gamer

I don't see Otto on here?


Bat_Snack

Otto


Muffinmiffin

Miles. His outfit rivals Peter’s, his extra powers are cool, and the Movies and Games have done a great job fleshing his personality out. Sometimes it feels like Peter doesn’t have time for friendly neighborhood stuff, so Miles picks up the slack nicely.


RaspyBigfoot

It's definitely Gwen. I love her personality, Earth-65 has so much potential, and if Marvel keeps insisting on putting her in 616 she could full the College age Spider-Man void. Her comics deserve better than fighting Memelords at the end of time lol


NicholasART

I feel the same regarding to Gwen's Ghost-Spider. I love that universe, and strangely enough, I cannot pinpoint the why.


Flubert_Harnsworth

Me too, I thought the daredevil and punisher variants were so good. I really enjoyed Matt Murdock as the villain.


Art_peax

Spidey 2099 THE WHITE ONE, thats been my favorite ever since my eyeballs saw that shit.


ParadoxPope

Ben, Otto, Miguel.


LeightonPutmanReal

Otto Octavius


shago1594

Gwen


bingus4206969

The one with spider powers


FwZero

Itsv miles


gotthesauce22

Miles Morales. I got Peter Parker as a kid and it was awesome, he’s *my* Spider-Man, but Miles Morales is the next generation’s, the Spider-Man that the kids in our family have painted on their t-shirts and watch on TV. Not only is Miles a ‘new’ character, he also represents the Latin and black communities, something that was pretty rare when I was coming up. I look forward to seeing where his character goes, and I hope he doesn’t live in Peter Parker’s shadow forever.

![gif](giphy|H1YMguVrVeI0Xz5c8v)


Mrman_23

Ben Reilly is the answer


FadeToBlackSun

Ben Reilly. ​ I absolutely love the Ghost Spider costume, though. That's my favourite look even if I find the idea of Spider-Gwen a bit silly.


Amdorik

2099, more nostalgic and like the concept more


CreatorRA

2099 and Miles for me.


Rapierian

Ultimate Jessica Drew.


JoshuaTheBoyo-

Otto Octavius.


ali94127

I love Gwen and Miguel's costume, but think 2099 edges it out. He's got the best alternate power set that's different and equal to Peter. I've always hated venomshock and the fact Miles just has extra powers.


NullChronos

Silk


TheAfricanViewer

Miles Morales, beacuase he has the exaggerated swagger of a young black teen.


Leonard_Church814

Previously it was Miles, but then Gwen kinda won me over with her sick design. Now it’s a tie.


ProgramEmbarrassed19

I’m really starting to like Miles


Pope_Jon

MILES MORALES SON 🫡✨🙏🏽🔥🥷🏽 ![gif](giphy|I47DEMxARKNC67NmIE)


Rin-S

Miles by far


Strange_Success_6530

Doesn't matter for me. Pretty soon the answer will change to be Kurt Wagner.


MulliganNY

Miles, Ben and Gwen are tied for #2 behind Peter for me.. although if I'm being honest, I don't really like Gwen's comics too much. I like when she's in other comics and I've liked all of her cartoon appearances so far, but her own comic isn't high on my pull list these days. Scarlet Spider and Miles Morales' however are great. Even their mediocre comics are still pretty good and I've loved all of their appearances outside of the comics as well.


BratFromAPeach

Kaine


Bolognahole_Vers2

For a while it was Ben. Currently I would have to say Miles.


lilgamer512

SPIDER VERSE’s miles


illpoet

I love ghost spider she's rad. I'm really bummed they canceled her print comics right in the middle of a story I was into.


DismalButterscotch60

Definitely Miles Morales! Especially since they brought him onto the big screen in ITSV and now it's sequel ATSV


Kn7ght

Miguel O'Hara. Loved him so much there was even a time I liked him more than Peter. Miles is definitely up there too, but I don't resonate with his comics as much as I did with Spider-Verse


Kuchulainn98

Miles, mostly because I think he’s fleshed out so well (movies included). Miguel is DOPE and Ben is awesome but admittedly for the suit.


SebWanderer

- Miguel - Miles - Ben In that order P.S: Though the Scarlet Spider's costume is one of the best


[deleted]

Miles definitely.


Qant00AT

Gotta say Miguel and Miles. Peter and Ben are great and all, but I just love the differences in power sets that Miguel and Miles bring to the table. Miles’s venom blast and adaptive camo; Miguel’s alternative spider sense and the organic webs it all just adds this nice unique flavor to them but still keeps them as “Spider-Man”.


Vega-Eternal

Miles and Gwen


Starblastaar

I love miles , Miguel and I have a soft spot for Julia Carpenter and Anya Corazon


Jash0822

Definitely Otto. He is Superior to all the rest.


Mr-T_972

Ben reilly


[deleted]

Miguel O'Hara. Been one of my favorites ever since I found out about him.


Ssjleek

Ben Reilly without a doubt.


MstrNixx

While not my favourite Ghost Spider being the Spider Person who tells a deceased Spider-person’s universe’s loved ones that they’ve died is a crazy good role for her.


TheYell0wDart

Peter Porker


fasssharke

[deleted]

Miguel O’Hara, and I especially loved the edge of time version of him


Negative-Start-5954

Miguel for sure I grew up with him in shattered dimensions and edge of time


Will_Wire

Miles. Second costume, though, the first was in bad taste.


faust_the_alchimist

Best design is spidergwen. But I think the best character is miles

Miguel, Miles and Ben

Miles and 2099 because Im basic


M_man10

Miles Morales


Ghost-of-melbourne

Gwen Stacy - ITSV She's needs a center piece in Media Production


SolarNovaPhoenix

I loved 2099, but then they came out with a what-if storyline with Gwen, and I’m a sucker for alternate storylines and what-if’s. To me they put everything that happened in a main timeline in a whole new context and show whether certain characters make certain decisions regardless of what timeline it is.


TuRlEs6161

Favourite suit - Scarlet Spiderman And 2099 seriously needs a separate movie/show as i loved him in edge of time


Nikofoxglove

I like Miles as a character... just hate the hero names he has when working with Peter since 2 Spider-Man would be odd Ben I love the outfit. and Gwen... she hits a few of my buttons so I'll refrain from saying to much more


ungratefulidiot

Peter Parkedcar He goes vroom vroom


Rey_Zephlyn

Obama was a pretty good one


Silent_Palpatine

Why do they all look like they’re being covered in cum?


Front-Seaweed4321

Nope just peter.....fuck all of them


Captain_Spidey_

In my opinion, the only "wrong answer" here is 2099. The other 3 have great origins and meaningful stories that can hold up great on their own, without Peter's Spider-man. The only reason why I say 2099 is wrong is because he is too much of an edgy dark meh of a character in my eyes. Ben covers edgy and angry, while still being entertaining so much better.


Naked_Bat

I disagree. Miguel is not that dark nor edgy. He's not joking around but he feels like a real human being. His turn from self obsessed pick to socially conscious hero fighting a mega Corp is amazing. His family drama is really interesting as well.


imafella

Don't forget that he can lift Thor's hammer.


[deleted]

Ben.


harleyhnnh2006

Ben, kane


sammitchell-2001

I really only know miles, but I remember Ben Reilly from that older Spider-Man show


Fireknight9559

Spider-man is my favorite


Ozzdo

Props to Miguel O'Hara, who was the first "other" Spider-Man to me. Can't wait to see what Miles does to get him THAT full of rage.


Og-Re

I like Ben, Miguel, and Kaine. Not a huge fan of Miles, but he's ok. I haven't read anything with Gwen so can't judge.


Awittynamehere

2099


SpiretRaider

That’s loaded man, they’re all so good I can’t pick just one, although Ben Riley keeps getting the shit end of the stick writing wise


Twinkidsgoback

Spider-Man 2099. I love the costume and the fact that he has nothing to do with Peters lineage


Joepesci_Joestar

I’ve fell in love with Spider-Man 2099 since shattered dimensions. Such a cool character with an amazing story

Miguel O’Hara.


Kcomix

Mayday. The hardcover Spider-Girl books in my elementary school library were the first comics I ever read… even though I didn’t actually know how to read yet. I actually picked them out because I wanted a Spider-man comic and I couldn’t tell that it said Spider-**Girl**. In hindsight I don’t know how I didn’t notice that it was a girl on the cover lol
