Cain (Marvel Comics) as one of the best copies of Spider-Man in the "The Clone Saga"

Since the death of Gwen Stacy during the battle of the Green Goblin with Spider-Man, the Jackal has vowed at any cost to take revenge on Peter Parker. To do this, he decided to create clones that are superior in strength and skill. The first of these was Cain Parker. But at some point something went wrong.

Cain (Marvel Comics): history

When Cain was created, the cloning process was violated, as a result of which the clone turned out to be deformed, with a clear disturbance of the psyche. Later, when a more successful copy came out, Cain was given the name "Parker 3.0".

Over time, he increasingly alienated and completely ceased to recognize his "father", but with it his skills increased and increased. In addition to the abilities of Peter, he had his own unique skills. Take, for example, the "Mark of Cain" - the allocation of acidic blood, which leaves traces on the faces of the victims. But the Jackal did not notice these advantages, so he started creating a new clone.

The clone saga

The next experiment of Jackal led to positive results. So appeared Ben Reilly (Scarlet Spider) - an ideal copy of Peter Parker. Pleased with himself, he sends him to fight with Spider-Man, but he wins the fight, after which Ben starts to consider dead.

When the Jackal's plan failed, Norman Osborn decided to go for the trick. He exposed everything as if Peter Parker was actually a clone, not Ben Reilly. This is learned by Cain (Marvel Comics, photo of the character below), who now begins to defend Peter, considering him his clone brother. While Scarlet Spider becomes his number one goal.

For example, once during the surveillance of Ben Cain gets acquainted with a woman, a police officer. At first, he likes him, but as soon as it turns out that she is corrupt, the girl ceases to exist. The police first decides that this is Peter Parker, because they have the same DNA, but Ben takes the blame. And only after a while Peter manages to get Cain to surrender.

Since then, the clone paths have not crossed for a long time. Scarlet Spider appeared only when he learned about the illness of Aunt May. Immediately, as if clicked, Cain appeared, who at once made a spying on Ben, and in a very short time struck out several positions from the list of enemies of Peter.

He killed Otto Octavius, the Gloomy Hunter, and then attacked the "Golden Seven", but he did not have time to deal with it, because he was prevented by Spider-Man. Another reason for his aggressiveness was the recent loss of Mary Jane, who died at the hands of an unknown psychopath. Peter did not like this, and he again asked Cain to surrender, but he refused, and a fight broke out between them.

To understand the situation Judas traveler - a character capable of changing reality. During the battle of two spiders, he staged a trial, held for a second, in the building of the psychiatric hospital Ravencroft. The prosecutor was Carnage, several prisoners were chosen as jury members, and Judas himself became a judge. Declaring Spider-Man guilty, he allowed the prisoners to destroy him. But when he saw that Cain (Marvel Comics) stood up for Peter's defense, completed the process, returning both to the battlefield.

After some time, Cain finds the mistress of Otto Octavius - Stunner, who decided to avenge the death of a loved one. Her days would have been numbered, but the Spider-Man had arrived in time to cut it down and carried it away with him to the police. But before it happened, Cain (Marvel Comics) woke up and told that all the crimes were committed in order to protect Peter. With great difficulty, but Spider-Man persuades his clone to surrender.

Saga about clones: "Great games"

When the richest man of the universe "Marvel" - James Jonesmeyer - decided to organize "Great Games" in which the strongest fighters fought each other, he invited Cain to take part. More precisely, he was going to force him to take part in his event. Cain did not like this attitude, so he, having secured the support of Shannon, one of the supporters of the rich man, fled from there.

On their trail were sent serious opponents: Joystick, Rhinoceros and the North Star. In the battle with them, Cain (Marvel Comics) nearly died, but Ben Reilly intervened suddenly and allowed the escapees to escape.

Deciding to take revenge, they went to the headquarters of Johnmeyer, where they destroyed all his guards. But it turned out that everything was planned that Shannon was always on the side of Johnmeyer and just manipulated Cain. When the deceived clone tried to kill her, Ben Reilly appeared again and persuaded him not to do so. He listened to the Scarlet Spider, because during this time he began to treat him more amicably, but after that he left, promising that he would someday destroy all those who supported the "Great Games".

The Clone Saga: Ultimate

In this universe, events developed in a completely different way. Of course, Cain was also an unsuccessful copy of Peter Parker, but he was created by Dr. Octavius. According to the plot, he kidnaps Mary Jane to give her the abilities that turned her into a red monster. And only the appearance of Peter Parker returned the girl's human form. But for Cain, it was not the best way, when from the back of Spider-Man appeared agent Nick Fury (Sh.I.T) with a crowd of spider hunters.

Abilities

Like the real Spider-Man, Cain (Marvel Comics) is fast, strong and enduring. From Peter Parker, he inherited all the reflexes, feelings and abilities, including spider instinct, the use of cobwebs and night vision.

But this version of the spider is more advanced. He has the ability to "clairvoyance," he secrete acidic blood, is capable of producing organic spider webs, and his costume in the area of the fingers is equipped with sharp claws.

Cain (Marvel Comics): a cartoon

In addition to comics, the character is found in the animated series Ultimate Spider-men. Somewhere in the fourth season, he appears as a result of the experiment of Otto Octavius and becomes the first to receive spider abilities.
