History

Benjy and Claire circa 1984
Both Benjy and his twin sister Claire were born while their father was off the planet participating in the Secret Wars. Shortly after his return, Mary Jane left Peter and took their children with her, unable to deal with Peter's double-life as Spider-Man following a traumatic incident with both an alien symbiote and a manic Kraven the Hunter.[1] Benjy grew up with his mother and sister outside of Portland, Oregon. The extent of Peter's relationship with his children during their formative years is unclear, but an eleven-year-old Benjy and Claire embraced Peter when he re-entered his family's lives in 1995.[2]

Notes
- Benjy shares his namesake with Benjamin Richard Parker, the son of Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson of Earth-982.
- Benjy's use of a cane following his fight with Morlun is possibly a reference to an alternate version of his father.
