October 6 s Amazing Spider-Man 75 brings the title right into the almost-weekly Spider-Man Beyond era in which Ben Reilly, Peter Parker s clone from the 90s, takes control of as the lead hero of the title. When it comes to what takes place to Peter to take him out of the photo, that examine is now addressed since Amazing Spider-Man 75 - as well as it s absolutely not what we were expecting.

The information of Peter s special predicament order a lot of the hints that have actually formerly been seeded regarding the Beyond period, verifying a few of what was teased - while turning various other anticipated story information on their heads.

As for exactly how Peter s circumstance will impact Amazing Spider-Man going forward, there s an answer brewing in the title already. Keep reading to discover all concerning it.

Spoilers ahead for Amazing Spider-Man 75.

Amazing Spider-Man 75 opens up in the consequences of Amazing Spider-Man 74, in which Harry Osborn apparently died when and for all, leaving Peter Parker and also his other pals to grieve for him once more.

Peter chooses to obtain some alone time by web-swinging his method over to among his preferred places in the city, only to locate somebody else there - and not simply a person else, however an additional Spider-Man (who some visitors already know to be Ben Reilly, many thanks to the outfit).

Using the premium technology in his suit, Ben escapes Peter as well as leaves him captured in a kind of drone trap, escaping. Later on, the set assemble out of outfit, with Ben saying sorry to Peter for capturing him as well as escaping, clarifying that his brand-new employers - the Beyond Corporation - would certainly have been listening to their discussion with the monitoring innovation in his fit.

Ben takes place to discuss that the Beyond Firm has actually acquired the staying assets of Peter s previous company, Parker Industries - including the legal civil liberties to the name and also similarity of Spider-Man.

In the beginning baffled, Peter realizes that Otto Octavius must have trademarked the Spider-Man name when he was inhabiting Peter s body as the Superior Spider-Man (this can end up being vital soon - we ll obtain to that).

Ben goes on to state that the Beyond Corporation is turning Spider-Man into a corporate superhero, with him under the mask - which they would have located another prospect had he refused. Peter appears confused, however Ben clears up that practically, he is now Spider-Man, as well as that the Beyond Firm is most likely to look for to quit Peter from making use of the identity.

Ben goes back to the Beyond Company, where his trainers specify that they want to strengthen the radiation protection in his fit, many thanks to some intel from the area. Initially rather harmless, this demand ends up being a bit a lot more threatening when Ben as well as Peter both end up fighting the radioactive villains the U-Foes the next day.

Did the Beyond Corporation recognize the U-Foes would assault? Or was the boost in Ben s radiation protecting simply fortuitous timing? In either case, the U-Foes make it clear they re earning money for their activities by a person. And offered the Beyond Company s strange history as super-science bad guys in Nextwave: Agents of HATE, we re not putting it past them.

As Peter and Ben combat the villains, they re struck with a large dosage of radiation. Ben s fit shields him, but Peter is unguarded, leaving him seriously hurt with noticeable radiation poisoning - seemingly the reason of the injuries that Marvel has previously shown will take Peter out of activity for a long time.

However are those injuries sufficient to put Peter so near death that he needs to be replaced? It does not appear so. In fact, the larger circumstance Peter appears to be facing isn t associated with physical damage whatsoever - however the new corporate possession of his outfit and also identity as Spider-Man.

Consider first that solicitations for Miles Morales: Spider-Man 33, a linkup to Spider-Man Beyond , have shown an impending battle in between Ben and also Miles over the right to be Spider-Man, with Ben attempting to quit Miles under orders from the Beyond Company.

Secondly, the solicitation for December s Amazing Spider-Man 80. BEY indicates that Aunt May will certainly inquire for Peter s problem from Physician Octopus, her old flame and also Peter s arch-enemy (and also of training course the individual that took Peter s body, and also perhaps even cost him his name as well as outfit as Spider-Man).

She could be visiting Ock since he s a professional on radiation that has intimate knowledge of Peter s body, including his irradiated spider-blood - if he was dosed with various radiation, there can be weirder side-effects, after all. Or, she might be seeing him to talk about whether he can (or would) help resolve Peter s legal issues around the name and also likeness of Spider-Man.

In either case, we would not rely on Doc Ock to be particularly selfless - to say absolutely nothing of the Beyond Company.

The story continues in October 13 s Amazing Spider-Man 76, as the title goes essentially regular.
