Street Name: Scarlet Spider
Real Name: Benjamin Peter Reilly
So many people aren't clear about who I am and how I came into being. I know that's a simple setup for most people, but for me, it's anything but. To make matters worse, I'm officially considered dead. These kinds of obstacles can really get a guy down, and I admit I enjoyed having a few years out of the limelight to recover.
Although the fury and buzz about me has quieted in the past few years, I'm happy to say that people still remember me. So, for my many admirers, I wanted to set the record straight. My detractors will benefit, too--it's all the same record. When your life is as confusing as mine, you learn that the truth is hard to come by, and that those facts which really are facts are precious.
I don't have too many possessions, but this site will feature the best of them: a biography, pictures of me, titles featuring me, action figures about me, people who like me, and where to reach me. It's all about me, but whether you're a hard-core comics fan (in which case, you really ought to know me already), or never read one before (I'll still bet you $5 you've heard my brother's name), this site is for you!
