Perhaps for a normal Spider-Man, but there's something special about you. The Inheritors fear you.

History

The Scarlet Spider[]

Kaine was a clone of Spider-Man created by the Jackal. Suffering from cellular degeneration, Kaine went mad and tried kill Peter and his other clone, Ben Reilly, for years. Eventually being cured, Kaine turned over a new leaf. He followed in Peter's footsteps and took the alias Scarlet Spider. He decided to move and become the protector of Houston.[1]

As Scarlet Spider

Parker attacked by Carlos and Esme Lobo. He was almost killed by the pair of mutants who resemble werewolves until he was approached by The Other. She offered to save his life if he became her avatar. He accepted and Kaine was able to tap into her power. This also allowed him to turn into a Man-Spider, although she could take control of Kaine's body when he transformed.[1]

Defeat of Doctor Doom[]

Scarlet Spider was one of the heroes attacked by Doctor Doom wielding Mjolnir. Doom was eventually defeated by Nova wielding Silver Surfer's Surfboard.[2]

Spider-Men and the Totem Wars[]

Kaine was recruited by the S.H.I.E.L.D. of Earth-41940 into the Spider-Men, a group of Spider-Man analogs assembled to combat the Multiversal Sinister Six. He quickly became close friends with the Ben Reilly of Earth-94.[1]

Among the Spider-Men

The Spider-Men became involved in the Totem War when Morlun chased Spider-Woman to Earth-41940. His failure to kill her or any of the other Spider-Men brought the rest of the Inheritors to Earth-41940. He ran into one of them, Jennix, and learned that, through his connection to The Other, he could hurt them. He used this new-found knowledge to protect Spider-Punk when he came to Earth-41940.[1]

Superior Spider-Man tried to recruit him into the Superior Spider-Army, but Kaine didn't trust him and joined Team Amazing. Discovering that the Inheritors had achieved immortality through cloning, Superior Spider-Man convinced Scarlet Spider to destroy their clone laboratory in Loomworld, believing The Other gave him the best chance. Kaine opted to go alone, but Ben persuaded him to let him come along. After destroying the factory, their pair safely returned to New York City.[1] Scarlet Spider ended up returning to Loomworld to aid the Spider-Army in storming the Inheritors' base and defeating them.[1]

Kaine Parker and Ben Reilly-94 discuss their plan

Kaine was instrumental in taking down the leader of the Sinister Six. Scarlet Spider, Spider-X, and the native Spider-Man broke into a Sinister Ship and confronted Mysterio. Quentin hit Spider-Man with his hypnotic gas, but Spider-X was able to grab him, allowing Kaine to shatter his helmet. Unable to accept defeat, Mysterio activated the ship's self-destruct feature. Mysterio killed himself in the process, with the spiders narrowly escaping.[1]

When the Inheritors escaped their prison, Scarlet Spider joined the new incarnation of the Superior Spider-Army. With the aid of the renegade Inheritor Karn, the Inheritors were sent back to Earth-3145.[1]
