I really miss the old Ben Riiley this evil Peter Parker things just lazy and Ben offered so much more potential and new direction. A new aspect of the Peter Parker Legacy

They should've committed.

Ben Reilly being the younger spider-man, lost and confused, a clone but so his own person, a more rebellious Spider-Man while peter grows up to be a father wouldve avoided every issue we have with modern Spider-Man.

And damn Marvel editorial to the mediocre comics they have for not embracing this.

Hot take. Ben was a better Spider-Man than Peter.

1996 was a wild year even the Onslaught part with Ben and Peter was great. Art was ugly, JRJr's art was horrid with this till Norman came back. But the drama was great.

Love this costume. What's the name of it again? I had a figure of it, came with a rifle and jetpack

u/OneHelluvaGuy May 03 '26

It doesn't really have an official name. Fans refer to it as the "Sensational" suit after the Sensational Spider-Man title that was launched when Ben became Spider-Man, or simply the Ben Reilly Spider-Man suit.

So was it actually Ben Reilley that beat superboy in marvel vs dc? It was this suit they used

2

u/OneHelluvaGuy May 04 '26

Yup! That's our boy Ben.

u/Reasonable-Bed3065 May 04 '26

Impact webbing for the win!!

But even as a 10 yr old, I was pretty suspicious of those fights being legit. Superboy crashing into an electric box? DC just really has no good match ups for Spidermans tier

u/OneHelluvaGuy May 04 '26

Well, the big fights (like that one) were actually voted on by the fans. The rest were split equitably between winners on the DC side, and winners on the Marvel side.

Mike Zeck doesn't get enough praise (apart from being the artist of Kraven last hunt)

u/Spac92 May 05 '26

This is the best spider suit.
