Writer: Peter David; Penciler: Mark Bagley; Inker: John Dell; Colorist: Jason Keith; Letterer: Joe Caramagna
#Marvel#Marvel comics#Marvel 616#Ben Reilly: Scarlet Spider#Scarlet Spider#Kaine#Kaine Parker#there are several explanations for why Kaine has red eyes here despite supposedly no longer harboring the other:#1. Mr. David simply forgot/didn’t know Kaine is no longer the host of The Other (completely understandable)#2. Kaine is wearing contacts#3. Kaine can just Do That#Miguel O’Hara come quick Kaine’s stealing your schtick#anyway now seems as good a time as any to discuss why Kaine’s so adamant on hunting Ben down#particularly with Kaine describing Ben here as a ‘bad man’#because sure Kaine kind of made a career out of stalking Ben and making his life miserable#but back during the Clone Saga Kaine’s motive seemed to be ‘I’m miserable and being a clone is miserable so how dare Ben attempt happiness’#this seems to be a bit more in relation to what Ben did as the Jackal#specifically creating more (and rather unstable to boot) clones who would go through the same angst that Ben and Kaine did#I could see that being a rather sensitive ‘crime against humanity’ for Kaine#although this whole ‘advanced interrogation’ scene insures that we can’t root for Kaine too hard in this scenario
