Out of all theSpider - Manclones that subsist in the Marvel Universe , his most powerful has a unique power among the others - and wee-wee a certain celebrated juicy shapeshifter in theX - Menrather obsolete .

InBen Reilly : Spider - Man # 4 , compose by J.M. DeMatteis with graphics by David Baldeón , Spidercide attack Ben Reilly and brings him to a untroubled placement , disguise as an average home plate . There , Spidercide reveals he can not only change his shape , but he can on the face of it break off pieces of himself and ascertain them independently . He demonstrates this ability by manifesting all the masses from Ben Reilly / Peter Parker ’s life : Gwen Stacy , Aunt May , and even Uncle Ben . Spidercide can even manipulate nearby judgement - mean there ’s a in force chance he can use Reilly ’s own memories to shapeshift into his friends and even household appendage .
This shapeshifting power is astounding , and league in front ofthe other Marvel premiere shapeshifter Mystique . The X - Men shapeshifter can take any form , but she has limits : she ca n’t radically modify her mass and can only take humanoid anatomy , and she can only impersonate one individual at a time . Spidercide , by contrast , can shapeshift into an total group of character at once . He can not only become any oneperson , but anyteam- including , perhaps , the X - Men , the Avengers , and beyond ( he just ca n’t replicate their powers , but Mystique has the same limitation ) .
While Mystique is used often in Marvel stories , Spidercide is rarely seen . He does have a spectral successor in the kind of Miles Morales ' adoptive sidekick Shift ( also a knockoff ) , but he can not mimic others like Spidercide . ThisSpider - Man clon has tremendous potentialto be one of the most fear foes in Marvel Comics , and can even dominate Mystique when it comes to shapeshifting power .
Ben Reilly : Spider - Man # 4is available now from Marvel Comics , and fan can see theSpider - Manshapeshifter for themselves in all of his multiplying glory .
