Amazing Spider-Man #610

Continuing from the first look left off...

In the past, Ben is battling Kaine. He pushes Kaine into the fireplace, and the house starts to go up into flames.








"Might be interesting to let you both live--for now--see how that progresses." Kaine walks off, adding "Or you could just leave him here, unconscious. Let him burn to death with the wife and kiddies. Either way, I'm gonna enjoy watching whatever happens next."

In the present, Peter helps Harry and May's relatives escape, before changing into Spider-Man. He battles Raptor, stating that Reilly and Parker are two different people. Raptor accuses him of lying again, but Kaine says he's telling the truth. He pulls off Spider-Man's mask and tells Raptor that Peter is a clone of Reilly, but that getting his revenge against him would be the next best thing since "whatever Reilly's capable of, this guy is too" and that Peter might as well have been the same person.

Peter attacks Raptor and knocks him down, saying that he knows Ben isn't a killer because he isn't a killer. He starts to web him up when the police arrive. During the commotion Raptor and Kaine escape, and Peter is forced to flee as well.

Later, we see Kaine confronting Raptor, who reveals that he lied to Kaine about being able to help him. "You seemed so eager to kill 'Peter Parker,' if I hadn't tempted you, it would've been a waste of a perfectly good rage." The issue ends with Kaine strangling him.

Peter only found out after Ben disintegrated. If Peter didn't tell Kaine that, I don't know how Kaine would know.

That's true, eh?

I kind of took for granted that he'd figured it out at some point. After Ben died, Kaine went after the Scriers and them.

My problem with this issue here is that Kaine decided to make his peace with Ben and atone for his past a long time ago. And back when he thought Peter was a clone (which I guess is still the case), he was very protective of him, thinking of him as kind of a little brother who'd made good. He seems unaccountably hostile here.

Kaine is aware at this point (according to Web of Spiderman 1) that he completely wasted his time for years persecuting Ben and protecting Peter. He probably despises Peter now just as he once despised Ben. Ben was the one who accepted Kaine, remember, but he died. The bit about Peter being a clone? Kaine knew Raptor would never accept that Ben wasn't the real mccoy, so he made a small fib. In the process, jabbing at Peter's sense of self and his bond with Ben and also his bond with Kaine. Peter prefers not to think too long on it, but if Ben IS Peter, then Kaine is ALSO Peter, and every atrocity Kaine commits is equally within Peter, and if you stretch it, Peter is at fault for those atrocities.
