All long term Spider-Man fans sat up and took notice last week: Ben Reilly, the first stable clone of Peter Parker who operated as Spider-Man for a time in the 1990’s was revealed to be alive again in the final pages of Clone Conspiracy #3. 

This is my plea for current Spider-Man writer Dan Slott to make Ben a hero once again and not make him an adversary, mind controlled or otherwise.

Mechanical web shooters, a signal belt, and web foils under the arms were all part of the original Spider-Man costume. 

A device that Spider-Man has used almost since the beginning and has been improved upon and even used to this day is the Spider-Tracer.
