Why the SPIDER-MAN CLONE SAGA Sucks! 👎 || Comic Misconceptions || NerdSync
Become a NerdSync Patron! ▶▶ / nerdsync
The Clone Saga. Yeah, it's not great. What started out as one of Spider-Man's most interesting stories with the introduction of the character of Ben Reilly the Scarlet Spider, quickly became an infamous Marvel blunder. What went wrong? Why does the Clone Saga suck? Unsurprisingly, it was a lot of things. From Marvel restructuring the company, firing editors, demanding extensions and more clones, to the writers who couldn't figure out what they wanted the ending to be. In short, there's a lot that went wrong, and we're going to take you through the confusing and convoluted history of the Clone Saga right now!

Death of Gwen: Shake things up, keep Spider-man single and thus more relateable Clone Saga: Shake things up, make Spider-man single and thus more relateable One More Day: Shale things up, make Spider-man single and thus more relateable 2/3 of the times writers tried shaking things up and keep Spider-man single turned out to be some of the worst Spider-man stories ever

"2/3 of the times writers tried shaking things up and keep Spider-man single turned out to be some of the worst Spider-man stories ever" Because they tried to erase years of character development, regress Peter Parker to an immature jerk, and get rid of the supporting cast. As for Gwen, she was written poorly for years ... before they decided to kill her.

Let me put it this way in Renew your Vows the moment MJ dawns that red and white spider suit and calls herself Spinneret for the first time, and seeing Annie May become Spiderling renders One More Day and the Clone Saga miscarriage unnecessary because in one panel with one line of dialogue "You're no longer a solo act" you fixed everything you said was wrong with the idea, and now all defenses of One More Day and the infamous miscarrage come across as mean spirited excuses for being lazy and uncreative so let me ask what's the point of keeping either one around other then excuses for laziness and uncreativity?

The whole thing stemmed from a gross misconception of the Spider-Man character that continues to this day. It's the idea that Peter should never grow up, when in fact he'd been aging and growing since the beginning. He started as a high school student. He graduated high school and went to college. He went from bullied nerd to actually being fairly popular, including befriending the guy who'd bullied him in high school. He fell in love and saw that love die. He graduated college and started his post-graduate studies. He moved on to a new love, which ended up being on and off for many years. He left grad school for a time when balancing his life became too difficult, but eventually returned. He got married. Spider-Man/Peter Parker was all about growing up and change. It was never about always being in the same point in life. It's also funny that he couldn't be married, but someone thought it was OK to turn him into Tony Stark when the one consistent thing about him is that he's terrible with money and keeping a schedule.

Yeah but there was one problem people had...the Peter they been following since 1976 was a clone and the real Peter would've been Ben except every time you would introduce Ben you'll have to explain that he's really Peter Parker even though he has blonde hair. You'll also wouldn't be able to interact with the Bugle and other characters even if he did come back as Peter because everyone in the Bugle would be asking where's Mary Jane Watson with the kid? Unless he told them his identity it wouldn't work. Plus all those years with the "clone" Parker would mean Kraven's Last Hunt was meaningless and bunch of other stories like Harry Osborn's death wouldn't have the same punch as it once did. Overall its a big mess.

No Harrys death could have been played up. The Real Pete was not there for his best friends death. This could have been used to sober the Carefree Spiderman if people were getting annoyed that he was a bit to unconnected to the past issues. Kraven's Last Hunt does not lose its meaning it takes on a different view but hardly meaningless.

The problem was having suggested that Peter was the clone in first place. Instead of revealing that Ben was the original and Peter was the clone, they should've established that Peter was the original way before and not have prolonged it. But the miscarriage was a pretty bad move, especially now that we have so many Spider-Men. Too many editors and a plot line with great possibilities poorly managed
Ben Riley, a clone of Peter, the new spiderman, taking the mantle and responsibility so that the real one could live his life and raise a child with Mary Jane. How was that a bad idea.

How the writers treat them is another matter. I also like supervillains with kids. The Mystique-Rogue relationship is one of the main reasons that I became interested in the X-Men. Having a daughter with major problems, that you can't help resolve no matter how much you care about her.

A nice simple story of Ben Riley taking on the mantle of Spider- Man would have been so much better. I think a combination of fear of fan reaction and to many conflicting creators are what killed it. On a related note it is sad that Peter Parker as a character is not allowed to live an adult life Part of Spider-Man's appeal is that he is a normal guy with these amazing powers. Why is Peter having a wife and kid seen as such a bad thing when a big part of Spider-Man's appeal is that he has to balance real life with his super hero adventures?

Peters appeal was always rooted towards being the embodiment of youth and unfortunate problems with the youthful action.
What I find interesting about this whole mess is the motivation behind its conception, the idea that they were "alienating" the readership by giving Peter relatable adult issues. There seems to be this impression that the readership remained the same age, no matter how much time had passed since Spider-Man's earlier years, when in truth, the readership was probably growing up with the writers, and indeed the character himself, so issues such as marriage, mortgages and kids would have been welcome, relatable problems for Spider-Man to deal, as the character was designed to be identifiable, and as the readership got older and teenage readers grew into adults, the subject matter of his personal life should change to reflect that. Perhaps if one of the writers at the time caught wind of this, we wouldn't have gotten the mess of a saga that we have, but then again, all the editorial mishaps would have still occurred, so perhaps we would just be trading one bad event for another, making this all inevitable in one way or another.

I'm with you 💯 on the potential of aging Peter and giving him more adult problems and responsibilities. I was 9-10 when this was happening, and even then I liked that aspect. It wasn't alienating at all... It made me think, _"Oh wow, Spider-Man is all grown up... How terrifying!"_ It also made him an adult to "look up to."
The Clone Saga had potential, unlike One More Day which was dead on arrival. The dragging out is why I prefer the Real Clone Saga trade

Remember "Maximum Carnage?" That started something new in Spider-man comics that the Clone Saga made even worse: Continuing the story across multiple books (for example, The Amazing Spider-Man would be continued in The Spectacular Spider-Man which would continue in The Web of Spider-Man which continued into Spider-Man, which continued back into The Amazing Spider-Man). This made collecting comics at the time an infuriating proposal, not just because you had to buy four separate books, but because it was difficult to organize the comics into a coherent storyline. Even the official Marvel 30 Years of Amazing Spider-Man CD-ROM collection they sold a few years back is impossible to read during the mid-1990s thanks to these storylines, because the damn creative team would sometimes switch, new characters were introduced every issue, and you were only getting one in every four bits of the story. It was a nightmare and a lot of people at the time just stopped collecting BECAUSE of these marketing tactics.

I kinda liked Maximum Carnage tbh.Although,the art style was terrible,
The beautifully written swan song to Aunt May was eventually reconned out, and May was alive and once again clueless about Peter being Spider-Man, therefore killing one of the only good moments of the whole mess. It wasn't even the last time this would happen, either - JMS's run had May find out that Peter Parker was Spider-Man, come to terms with it, and become a more active member of the supporting cast -- annnnd then One More Day once again retconned it so she was clueless again. Ultimate Spider-Man had a similar story as part of its own version of the Clone Saga -- which somewhat ironically was once of the best arcs in that series. May finds out, RAGES at Peter for lying to her all this time, and almost kicks him out of the house before she comes to terms with it. As this was an alternate universe, it was never retconned out -- just erased from existence.

The Clone Saga is what got me out of comics. I loved Spiderman and had been collecting all the runs at the time, and had for a decade. FOUR DIFFERENT TITTLES at the time. If they had simply kept the continuity and reduced Peter's role and slowly worked Ben in more I would haved loved it. Aunt May's death was touching and heartfelt, and SHOULD HAVE BEEN PERMANENT. I actually cried a little bit. I didn't so much mind Ben being the real Peter, but did not want the story of Peter and MJ to go away. There would have been great story telling opportunities in the two warheads running around, and it isn't like they did not have enough titles to tell those stories. The Amazing Spider-Man, Peter Parker the Spectacular Spiderman, Web of Spiderman, Spiderman.

I think they don’t know what to do with Spider-Man. Even now they killed Ultimate Peter Parker with a black Miles Morales, they don’t know what to do with Miles. They want change but who really likes Aunt May? She’s been in the hospital at death door million times. At the end of the clone saga nothing happened Aunt May came back Peter Parker is Spider-Man and Mary Jane isn’t pregnant. Even One-More Day ended Peter &MJ marriage and brought back Aunt May the most exciting comic was Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows with Peter MJ and his kid which could’ve been the most exciting comic event of the 90s and what’s crazier that it’s set alternate 90s universe!

Why not an episode on the history of Spider-Man's armpit webbing?
This exact series is what drop Spider-Man from my number one as a kid to still one of my favorites but he went down quite a few pegs after this. I was born in the late 70s so to be told in my twenties at the Spider-Man that I've always known might have been a clone and not the real Peter Parker was a slap in the face. I still hung in there and try to read the comics to see where they were going but it just dragged on and by the time I started to accept it and the stories actually started to get good they killed Ben Riley, brought back Norman Osborn, and kidnap Peter and Mary Jane's child and turn it into a house cat? My Spidey fandom has never fully recovered since then...
This is totally on the editors' shoulders. Some of the outcomes would have been really great and while I love Peter it would have been fantastic to just have him retire with MJ. Of course they'd bring him back, but imagine Ben teaming up with Peter and his kid. So many missed opportunities.

Well, that's mostly because it managed to keep itself to one brief story arc that takes place over the course of a single day - not three goddamn years over multiple titles. Kinda ironic that Bendis, the guy in comics most notorious for padding shit out like mattress tampons, took one of the most notoriously overlong arcs in comics and remade it to fit into one trade.

Well, my personal opinions on the clone saga: I didn't read the clone saga from the beginning, but when I started reading it, in few books I learned Peter Parker wasn't the amazing spiderman, instead Ben Reilly was the spiderman, MJ was pregnant, but she was given an abortive by a shady nurse, aunt May was dead and Norman Osborn, the man who killed Gwen Stacy, was back. Back then, it felt to me way worse than Captain America saying "Hail Hydra". It felt like a Marvel attempt at breaking the spiderman so it's character could grow gone horribly wrong. After today's Nerd Sync episode, I feel more enlightened. As far as I understood, it was more like an accident than some attempt at spidersadism. Good work. BTW, please do another one like this on "Spider-Man: One More Day" Spiderman Storyline. I heard it's the only other spider-story close enough to be a disaster like "Clone Saga", but I never really understood why.

deathsdoor07 They retconned it. When I first saw the comic, there was a scene showing some shady woman putting something into her coffee at a cafe. MJ went into labour after drinking the coffee, and later there was a very sad panel showing Peter hugging MJ and the shady woman, who was a nurse at the hospital, saying something like "It's done" to a mysterious figure, later revealed to be Norman Osborne. That's what I remember from memory, so it might be different from the comic itself, but I'm pretty sure the scene was meant to be an abortion before Marvel changed it once again to look like something else.

Marco Túlio Todeschini Coelho I read that too but after that the "nurse" had the baby with her and Norman got her on a boat. A year later, she comes back and tells Peter the baby was alive and Norman has her killed. Peter instead finds Aunt May and the baby is not mentioned again which pissed me off. Marvel or the writers lets the readers know that the baby is alive because they went back to the "nurse" and baby occasionally. Then the "nurse" dies and Aunt May is revealed to be alive but no baby. You would think Peter would do some more investigating to find out if the woman was crazy or if she was telling the truth. Nope, he does none of that shit.

Besides, I can't say my memory is the most reliable one.

I was like, 13 when I read the saga issue by issue as it came out back in 1995 and it broke me. I was a huge Spiderman fan till that story. I had an uncle who gave me like, 30 or 40 years worth of back issues once and I would pour over those comics in awe. I felt like the Clone saga started off well, with nice nods to older Spidy stories, but then it just dropped the ball by outing the clone as the "real" Spiderman and the hero we've been following all these years as the clone. It might have bene a great idea on paper, but the way it was told just felt like it was shitting on Spidy history. I did like Kane though and thought he made a good, tragic villain.
What I liked about the Clone Saga was Mary Jane's sticking with Peter through thick and thin throughout the whole clone saga. She loved and supported him even when she thought he was a clone. She even showed guts when trying to get through to him when he was programmed to kill her. She had faith in Peter. I also liked Ben Reilly. I just thought he was a cool and likeable person, and I thought killing him off was terrible. He ended up being a brother to Peter.

First rule of the clone saga: We don’t talk about the clone saga.
At the risk of getting a lot of hate... I actually liked the clone saga. You could argue that it's overarching story was a mess but this was really the first story that allowed Peter to grow above and beyond the boundaries of his alter ego. We saw Peter become a husband, a man and a potential father creating a life for him then MJ and it provided some of the most powerful moments in his history. Even his relationship with Ben was well developed during the arc and when he died that actually had some impact with me.

"I enjoy when stories are like, "Don't worry, it'll all be resolved never." " Then you will enjoy "Facade". A new, mysterious super-villain introduced in a 1994 Spider-Man. storyline. The storyline was a murder mystery and was supposed to increase reader's interest of who was hiding behind Facade's mask. But the writers themselves lost interest in it and moved on to other stories. Leaving a mystery without a solution for over 20 years.
To be honest, they should never have done the whole stupid thing to begin with. This was the beginning of the end of all the Spider-Man titles for me back in the day. I still cringe and get a headache at the mention of the Spider-Man Clone Saga. :(

This is was really good, I was always curious why it took so long for that to end
I'm hesitant to say it because as young as I am, and possibly due to living in the UK, I may not have been able to read the entire saga and definitely couldn't on release, but from what I Did read I always quite enjoyed the clone saga. I liked Ben Riley and it would have been interesting to see the original ideas for the saga come to fruition. Because of my already stated lack of confidence that I've read the entire thing, it would be cool to see a detailed video on the actual events.
Every time I learn something about Stan Lee I love him more and more :,)

It would be so much better than the crap we have currently.

I personally love the character of Ben Reilly/Scarlet Spider. I also really like Kaine (who I am surprised you never mentioned, since he was a major part of the saga). Maximum Clonage just should have never happened as well as everything after that. I would have liked it if they kept Ben Reilly/Scarlet Spider and just had him living and working somewhere else in the US, Canada, or wherever, with an occasional Spider-Men team up (like if Carnage got loose again). Just think of it like how Dick Grayson went off to defend another city as Nightwing, but would every once in a while return to help Batman and Robin In fact, I am all for the return of Ben Reilly. Also, in all honesty, I loved his outfit. I don't know why, but I have always loved his outfit.

Agreed, i read the beginning of Ben Reilly and i really like him and his journey of self discovery. Also his background is extremely tragic. Same for Kaine. Past infor about me, Robin/nightwing/red hood/ red robin was my favorite superhero until recently when i read spiderman comic. Now spider-man got move to number one spot. They are very extremely similar to each other. How they talk and fight. However one thing i like about the robins is their team ups. Their sense of brotherhood. They were all raised by Batman and despite being different can related to each because of it. For me Ben Reilly, Kaine, and Peter parker are different person but all have memories of being raised by Ben and May and sense of responsibility. So i would love it if they do more team up as brothers. They already referred to themselves as brothers and their dynamic would be awesome. Especially them be able related to all thier tragedies. Ben Reilly being killed and forcibly back alive 30 times, kaine trying to be a beter person, and Peter parker well him being Peter parker. They so much to write about with this trio. (As long they keep to these three and no other clones it should be great.)
10:20 Ironically the exact opposite being Marvel's current approach.
Even though the clone saga was bad we can all agree that ben riley had the best spider-man suit and still does in my opinion 2nd goes to Miguel o'hara spider-man 2099.

The Clone Saga only made sense in the animated version of The Amazing Spider-Man back in the 90's. Where we get the start of the Gwen death & rebirth(clone), then Spider-man going to a alternate universe, that it was Spider-Man that was cloned and we have the whole Ben Reily vs Peter Parker. As it ended with Ben being the real Peter & Peter being the clone. It was finally told right in an animation form at least.
Oh was this a fun time to be a Spider-Man and X-men fan. The Onslaught saga was huge and I remember running to the comics stores to pick up how the story kept going. I really liked Ben Reilly as Spider-Man and getting the 4 part story that brought back Norman Osborn was such an awesome twist. That flip out cover with both Spider-Men fighting Green Goblin was released at such a perfect time because I painted that cover on a store window for my town's Halloweeen parade (the country's second largest parade for that holiday BTW!). I really wanted there to be TWO Spider-Men with Peter Parker being the one true Spidey. The miscarriage thing was upsetting though. It made me reluctant to continue reading Spidey for a while. But that wasn't as bad as One More Day/Brand New Day, which basically made everything I read and enjoyed about Spidey comics from the late 80s up until that point completely UNDONE. Oh and Budiansky's indecisiveness led to wonderful stories like "The Carwash of Doom!" Ugh....Ratbat should not be leader of the Decepticons even if for only one issue. Make mine TF cartoons!
"Clone Saga" "Umm, Star Wars?
You're telling me that the "pEtEr MuSt StAy ReLaTaBlE" thing started with Romita Sr. Refusing to kill Aunt May...? I seriously am questioning Marvel's quality at this point.
I remember when something like this happened in Young Justice, only it was done far better and everyone was happy: Roy Harper’s Clone had a daughter with Cheshire, while the Real Roy Harper got to reinvent himself as the dark, angsty Arsenal. The biggest difference is that the Real Roy went into a coma for five years, while Clone-Roy started a family during said five years (and knew that he was a clone for nearly as long)
"The clone saga... *Pats desk* Let's talk about it..." Do we have to?
Wow, it's just hilarious how Marvel imploded like this. I think all the higher-ups were to blame here.
I've been catching up with your videos for the last couple of weeks (just discovered your channel), watching them in no particular order, old and new, and this is my favorite hairstyle of yours so far. 😂
as a kid reading the comics and watching the animated series, i really liked the clone saga... or at least the parts i saw. I liked the character of scarlet spider. I always wanted a spin off series that could have expanded on things and made the plot a little more cohesive.
Bad Scott is my favorite Scott.
1990s Spider-Man animated series crack a joke about Clone saga during the final episodes. Spider-Girl became ideal run for the fans of Clone saga, even May 'Mayday' Parker's costumes was Ben Reilly's.

Funny how most of the changes and shakeups in the Clone Saga got retconned as time progressed (Ex. Doctor Octopus ended up coming back after Kaine, the First Clone, killed him and the writers replaced him with a female Dock Ock.) but the one thing that remained constant for going on over 20 years was that Norman Osborn, whose revival was considered the worst idea in the Saga, is very much alive and is by far and wide considered to be Spider-man's worst enemy. Ever since his resurrection he's basically acted as the Final Boss to most multi-year stories. He tried to gain ultimate power at the end of Amazing Spider-man's first run in the late 90s, he was the mastermind behind Menace at the midpoint of the Brand New Day era, his supposed child was the target of all the Spider-man villains in the Brand New Day era, he led a huge Goblin siege on New York City at the end of Superior Spider-man, and he merged with the Carnage symbiote to become the Red Goblin in Amazing Spider-man 798-800, the final few books that Dan Slott, the chief writer of Spider-man post-One More Day, wrote. Bringing back Norman Osborn was probably, in the long run, the best thing the Clone Saga did... Any thoughts about bringing back Kaine and Ben Reilly and having them basically share the title of Scarlet Spider?
Funny how I was just praising how well written this episode was when you praised Amazing Spiderman 400's story. It's really amazing the way you present things now compared to when you started.
