One of multiple characters purporting to be Peter Parker, Spidercide was easily the weirdest and creepiest of the Clone Saga characters. Introduced in Amazing Spider-Man, Spidercide was drastically more violent than any of the other clones. The Jackal cloned a version of Peter that he intended specifically to kill everyone once he was finished with...
Jack was an early clone of Peter Parker, but he wasn’t quite the same success that many of the later ones were. He was short and balding due to the lack of proper cloning, and would often dress up like the Jackal at the behest of his boss. Ultimately, he seemed to have just enough of Peter Parker in him to want to help Ben Reilly track him down, wh...

Eventually, this version of Kaine was hunted down by SHIELD and lost his life while trying to prote...
Yet another clone of Peter Parker, this version of the character is one of the few clones that actually lived.

Something that made zero sense, but a reminder to never trust Curt Connors in any timeline, even when he isn't the Lizard. Curt managed to get a look at Peter Parker’s DNA, and wasn’t able to leave well enough alone. He took part of Parker’s DNA and combined it with the Venom Symbiote as well as his own, which created a variant of the existing symb...
The Guardian was another early clone that the Jackal made and chose to keep sealed up. But when a collection of Spider-Men attacked Miles, he chose to free the Guardian to help protect him. This clone had the ability to recover from injury faster than Peter, and had incredible skin density. However, none of this was very helpful because his cellula...
Yet another clone of Peter Parker in the Ultimate universe. This one was designed by Peter Parker and Ben Reilly, and he was meant to be a part of a team of super-soldiers.

She’s the one perfect clonethat was designed to work for the CIA, and her memories as Peter Parker were initially supposed to be wiped. But when an escaper freed not only h...
Kaine was the original clone of Peter Parker, the one who was surprisingly unstable mentally but managed to keep himself put together physically for time. Though he was physically deformed after being dumped into a vat of Anti-Venom, Kaine’s body and mind repaired itself and worked perfectly. These days, Kaine switches between being a hero and tryi...
The “main” clone, Ben Reilly went on for quite some time with everyone believing he was the original Peter Parker. In reality, he was always the clone, but he was by far the most stable clone, with no cellular degeneration. He returned to New York for a time and wound up taking on the role of Scarlet Spider while Peter Parker remained as Spider-Man...

- Kaine. Yes, that's right. Ben Reilly is awesome, but c'mon, Kaine? You just can't beat Kaine. Originally introduced as a mysterious villain, Kaine is soon revealed to have been the Jackal's first "successful" clone of Peter Parker, but one that was deformed by the cloning process and cast aside like trash.

- Ultimate Spider-Woman. In the Marvel Universe, the true identity of Spider-Woman is Jessica Drew. In the Ultimate Universe, Spider-Woman is still Jessica Drew, but this Jessica just so happens to be a female clone of Peter Parker.
- Ultimate Scorpion. The character above may look an awful lot like the old Mac Gargan Scorpion, a character who kind of sort of appeared in Spider-Man: Homecoming, but don't be fooled.
Mar 1, 2021 · This would go from issue 139 of The Amazing Spider-Man to issue 150, as well as a smattering of issues from Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man from 1978… and Marvel would also toss in some issues of Spectacular Spider-Man from the 80s that brought the clone stuff back for a few issues once more. However, amusingly, this isn’t really where the “first” Clone Saga started.
