#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
