The second and most successful clone of Spider-Man created by the Jackal. A superhero known as the Scarlet Spider, Reilly later replaced Peter Parker for a time as Spider-Man after he found out that all this time he was the original and not Peter. Ben met his ultimate demise in the fight against the Green Goblin which led to Peter becoming Spider-man once again, after he found out that he is the real Spider-man after all. And then he came back, because comics are like that.

!!! '''First Appearance:''' ''Amazing Spider-Man'' #399 (March, 1995) [[note]]As Spider-Man[[/note]]; ''New Warriors'' #61 (July, 1995) [[note]]As Spidercide[[/note]]

Spidercide is a clone of Spider-Man created by the Jackal (who has created the majority of the Spider-Man clones) who made Spidercide believe he was the true Peter Parker. Spidercide's insistence that he was the true Peter Parker led him down a road of violence and villainy.
----
* AxCrazy: As Spidercide, he lives up to the name, being far more brutal and keep to violence than most other versions of Peter.
* CloningBlues: Initially believed himself to be Peter Parker, until he became Spidercide he suffered from the dread and confusion surrounding learning that he's a clone.
* TomatoInTheMirror: In what was not exactly the most original plan ever, Jackal set him upon Peter and company with without letting him know he was a clone, spreading confusion over who is a clone and who was the original.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Since he was created to not just be confused for Peter, but also to kill him, he has been genetically engineered to have additional powers. The most impressive is that he can alter his molecular makeup at the cellular level, changing shape or even state at will. He can impersonate others or turn into water to flee a rough situation.

!!Doppelgänger
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/doppelspidey_2138.jpg]]

!!! '''First Appearance:''' ''Infinity War'' #1 (June, 1992)

-->'''Carnage:''' Y'know, while I was locked in the Vault, I heard some rumors about a pack of evil duplicates from outer space, and... nah! It's all too hokey for words!

Originally a "living geometric pattern" that resided in another dimension, Doppelgänger and several other members of his kind were turned into twisted duplicates of various superheroes by the Magus during ComicBook/TheInfinityWar. Unlike the other knock-offs, this one survived that event, and has periodically resurfaced to torment the real Spider-Man.
----
* AlasPoorVillain: He was disemboweled by Carnage while trying to protect Shriek during one of the former's tantrums. While attacking Doppelgänger, Carnage even mused that it felt like such a waste to waste him. Fortunately his healing powers saved him.
* AllAnimalsAreDogs: Behaves almost like a dog around Shriek.
* AllWebbedUp: Though him doing this to someone is almost always lethal, as his webbing is razor sharp.
* AnimalEyes: He has compound eyes originally in the shape of Spider-Man's lenses, but they've since become six spider-like ones.
* AngryGuardDog: For the Magus, then Demogoblin, and finally Shriek and Carnage.
* ArtificialHuman: According to some scientists, he is "inorganic and may not have been legally alive to begin with".
* AscendedExtra: Spider-Doppelganger was just one of many distorted doppelgangers of Earth's superheroes spawned by Magus in the ''Infinity War'' storyline. Aside from Thanos's Doppelganger (who was uniquely identical to the original Thanos), Spider-Man's Doppelganger is the only one who continued to appear beyond that event.
* BackFromTheDead:
** He was impaled by Hobgoblin, but healed by Demogoblin, which had the effect of stopping him from being destroyed when the Magus was defeated at the conclusion of the Infinity War.
** Carnage gutted him in ''ComicBook/MaximumCarnage'', though he resurfaced without explanation years later.
** Shortly into his reappearance, he was shot almost completely in half by Royal Blue, but revived while being autopsied.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Why he allied with Demogoblin and Shriek.
* BaldOfEvil: Seeing how his costume is actually his skin he lacks hair.
* TheBerserker: It is completely feral in combat, using its fangs, claws, and razor-webbing to brutally attack its enemies.
* BuildingSwing: Being a copy of Spider-Man, he can create organic webbing.
* CastHerd: Despite being completely unrelated to them, Doppelgänger has often ingratiated himself with the Symbiote characters due to his physical resemblance to one, particularly Carnage
* CeilingCling: He can cling to walls and horizontal surfaces. Usually leads to DroolHello.
* ChestInsignia: He has a copy of Spider-Man's signature emblems on his chest and back.
* CriminalDoppelganger: One of the few Spider-Man duplicates who is unrelated to the Jackal.
* DisabilityImmunity: Instead of killing him, Demogoblin took him on as an accomplice, apparently not regarding him as a "sinner" due to him being no more intelligent than the average dog.
* DumbMuscle: He has no real will of his own, and is thus used as a henchman by other villains.
* EasilyForgiven: He's gotten passed Carnage shredding him, going back to obeying his commands, and even attempting to warn him about Scorn.
* EnemyMine[=/=]TokenEvilTeammate: Doppelgänger, or at least an AU version of him, can be seen in ''ComicBook/SpiderVerse'' fighting the Inheritors as part of the Spider Army. How the good guys convinced him to join them is a mystery.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He was fond of Demogoblin, and regards Shriek as his mother.
* EvilKnockOff: Was explicitly created to be one of Spider-Man.
* ExtraEyes: As of his reappearance, he's developed multiple eyes.
* FangsAreEvil: He has a mouth full of fangs almost reminiscent of a symbiote's.
* FishOutOfWater: He's a living geometric pattern from another dimension forced into a twisted humanoid form resembling Spider-Man, stuck in Manhattan. .
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: He was shot in half by Royal Blue, leaving him crawling around on his numerous arms, to rather creepy effect. His legs have grown back by the time of ''Spider-Verse''.
* HealingFactor: Presumably how he survived being mortally wounded multiple times.
* HumanoidAbomination: Doppelgänger is a living geometric pattern from another dimension that was forcefully transmuted into a monstrous copy of Spider-Man.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Hobgoblin knocked him onto a spiked fence, but he was saved by Demogoblin.
* LightningBruiser: It is just as fast and strong as the original Spider-Man.
* MagicEnhancement: Being turned into an artificial copy of Spider-Man is apparently enough to make him qualify as a Spider-Totem.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: His six clawed arms.
* NotAMask: There's no monstrous version of Peter Parker in there; the "costume" is his actual skin.
* OutrunTheFireball: Does this at the end of ''Carnage U.S.A.''.
* {{Phlegmings}}: Is occasionally drawn with strings of drool between his fangs.
* RazorFloss: His biological webbing is sharp enough to slice into Iron Man's Bleeding Edge armor.
* SuddenlyVoiced: When he reappeared, he displayed the ability to talk, albeit only a few slurred words.
* SuperStrength: Presumably to a greater degree than Spidey, due to his additional limbs.
* ToServeMan: Not at all against eating humans.
* UnexplainedRecovery: After being fatally wounded by Carnage, he inexplicably returned over a decade later, presumably due to a previously unknown HealingFactor.
* TheUnintelligible: When he talks it comes out like this.
* WakingUpAtTheMorgue: After apparently being shot to pieces by Royal Blue, he wakes up on the autopsy table.
* WallCrawl: Like the real Spider-Man he can easily cling to vertical surfaces.

!!Spider-Man (Isotope Genome Accelerator Duplicate)

!!! '''First Appearance:''' ''Amazing Spider-Man'' Vol 5 #2 (September, 2018)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/amazing_spider_man_vol_5_3_second_printing_variant_textless.png]]
-->'''Spider-Man Duplicate:''' Yeah, but come on, even you have to admit -- the giant robot was awesome.

After Peter was pushed into an Isotope Genome Accelerator, a machine designed by Dr. Curt Connors to de-hybridise the characteristics of a single being, he became irradiated and split into two separate beings. Peter kept all of his memories and personality but lost his powers, while his Spider-Man identity took a life of its own, keeping all of his usual powers but losing any sense of responsibility.
----
* BewareTheSuperman: His debut arc shows that Spider-Man genuinely could be quite dangerous if he lacked Uncle Ben's teachings about responsibility.
* DeadpanSnarker: He has some decent quips here and there, but it's mostly {{averted}} as he lacks Peter's usual sharp wit, instead often resorting to puerile "randumb" humour and gratuitous pop culture references.
* EnemyWithout: As his wanton disregard for silly concepts like "property damage" and "common sense" gets out of hand, he inevitably clashes with his own secret identity, Peter Parker.
* {{Expy}}: He's somewhat similar in concept to the Superman duplicate from ''Film/SupermanIII'', being a darker LiteralSplitPersonality of the hero bereft of any sense of morality due to a lack of a human secret identity.
* InstantAwesomeJustAddMecha: He takes control of the Tri-Sentinel on the basis that giant robots are totally awesome, dude! Wait, whaddaya mean it causes tens of millions of dollars in property damage?
* LiteralSplitPersonality: After a freakish lab accident, Peter Parker and Spider-Man essentially become two separate people. The first story arc of Nick Spencer's ''Amazing Spider-Man'' run deals with their ensuing conflict.
* ManChild: He represents the worst excesses of Spider-Man's childish tendencies, namely his excitability for the superhero lifestyle. This culminates in him putting the city in danger by taking control of a giant Sentinel, purely and unashamedly for RuleOfCool.
* MetaGuy: He quite directly comments on the controversial developments in Spider-Man's life during Creator/DanSlott's run on the main comic, lampshading the perception that Peter has lost his way by making so many bad decisions in life and becoming a sad-sack loser. Unfortunately, [[IgnoredEpiphany rather than learn from his mistakes, he becomes an uninhibited hedonist.]]
* MotorMouth: This Spider-Man clone demonstrates how utterly obnoxious this trope can be when taken to too much of an extreme.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Another unfortunate Parker trait that he exaggerates and deconstructs. Peter often deals with money troubles in the comics and sometimes lets common greed get the better of him, resulting in him taking the occasional trashy promotional deal or trying to use super-heroics for personal gain. This was particularly prevalent in ''ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderManDanSlott'', during which Peter founded his own corporation, Parker Industries, off the back of Otto Octavius's work. As a TakeThat to those developments, this Spider-Man immediately signs off his likeness to various corporations in exchange for merchandising profits.
* ShadowArchetype: He represents what Peter could've turned out like if Uncle Ben played no role in his origin story.

-->'''Carnage:''' Y'know, while I was locked in the Vault, I heard some rumors about a pack of evil duplicates from outer space, and... nah! It's all too hokey for words!

Originally a "living geometric pattern" that resided in another dimension, Doppelgänger and several other members of his kind were turned into twisted duplicates of various superheroes by the Magus during ComicBook/TheInfinityWar. Unlike the other knock-offs, this one survived that event, and has periodically resurfaced to torment the real Spider-Man.
----
* AlasPoorVillain: He was disemboweled by Carnage while trying to protect Shriek during one of the former's tantrums. While attacking Doppelgänger, Carnage even mused that it felt like such a waste to waste him. Fortunately his healing powers saved him.
* AllAnimalsAreDogs: Behaves almost like a dog around Shriek.
* AllWebbedUp: Though him doing this to someone is almost always lethal, as his webbing is razor sharp.
* AnimalEyes: He has compound eyes originally in the shape of Spider-Man's lenses, but they've since become six spider-like ones.
* AngryGuardDog: For the Magus, then Demogoblin, and finally Shriek and Carnage.
* ArtificialHuman: According to some scientists, he is "inorganic and may not have been legally alive to begin with".
* AscendedExtra: Spider-Doppelganger was just one of many distorted doppelgangers of Earth's superheroes spawned by Magus in the ''Infinity War'' storyline. Aside from Thanos's Doppelganger (who was uniquely identical to the original Thanos), Spider-Man's Doppelganger is the only one who continued to appear beyond that event.
* BackFromTheDead:
** He was impaled by Hobgoblin, but healed by Demogoblin, which had the effect of stopping him from being destroyed when the Magus was defeated at the conclusion of the Infinity War.
** Carnage gutted him in ''ComicBook/MaximumCarnage'', though he resurfaced without explanation years later.
** Shortly into his reappearance, he was shot almost completely in half by Royal Blue, but revived while being autopsied.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Why he allied with Demogoblin and Shriek.
* BaldOfEvil: Seeing how his costume is actually his skin he lacks hair.
* TheBerserker: It is completely feral in combat, using its fangs, claws, and razor-webbing to brutally attack its enemies.
* BuildingSwing: Being a copy of Spider-Man, he can create organic webbing.
* CastHerd: Despite being completely unrelated to them, Doppelgänger has often ingratiated himself with the Symbiote characters due to his physical resemblance to one, particularly Carnage
* CeilingCling: He can cling to walls and horizontal surfaces. Usually leads to DroolHello.
* ChestInsignia: He has a copy of Spider-Man's signature emblems on his chest and back.
* CriminalDoppelganger: One of the few Spider-Man duplicates who is unrelated to the Jackal.
* DisabilityImmunity: Instead of killing him, Demogoblin took him on as an accomplice, apparently not regarding him as a "sinner" due to him being no more intelligent than the average dog.
* DumbMuscle: He has no real will of his own, and is thus used as a henchman by other villains.
* EasilyForgiven: He's gotten passed Carnage shredding him, going back to obeying his commands, and even attempting to warn him about Scorn.
* EnemyMine[=/=]TokenEvilTeammate: Doppelgänger, or at least an AU version of him, can be seen in ''ComicBook/SpiderVerse'' fighting the Inheritors as part of the Spider Army. How the good guys convinced him to join them is a mystery.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He was fond of Demogoblin, and regards Shriek as his mother.
* EvilKnockOff: Was explicitly created to be one of Spider-Man.
* ExtraEyes: As of his reappearance, he's developed multiple eyes.
* FangsAreEvil: He has a mouth full of fangs almost reminiscent of a symbiote's.
* FishOutOfWater: He's a living geometric pattern from another dimension forced into a twisted humanoid form resembling Spider-Man, stuck in Manhattan. .
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: He was shot in half by Royal Blue, leaving him crawling around on his numerous arms, to rather creepy effect. His legs have grown back by the time of ''Spider-Verse''.
* HealingFactor: Presumably how he survived being mortally wounded multiple times.
* HumanoidAbomination: Doppelgänger is a living geometric pattern from another dimension that was forcefully transmuted into a monstrous copy of Spider-Man.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Hobgoblin knocked him onto a spiked fence, but he was saved by Demogoblin.
* LightningBruiser: It is just as fast and strong as the original Spider-Man.
* MagicEnhancement: Being turned into an artificial copy of Spider-Man is apparently enough to make him qualify as a Spider-Totem.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: His six clawed arms.
* NotAMask: There's no monstrous version of Peter Parker in there; the "costume" is his actual skin.
* OutrunTheFireball: Does this at the end of ''Carnage U.S.A.''.
* {{Phlegmings}}: Is occasionally drawn with strings of drool between his fangs.
* RazorFloss: His biological webbing is sharp enough to slice into Iron Man's Bleeding Edge armor.
* SuddenlyVoiced: When he reappeared, he displayed the ability to talk, albeit only a few slurred words.
* SuperStrength: Presumably to a greater degree than Spidey, due to his additional limbs.
* ToServeMan: Not at all against eating humans.
* UnexplainedRecovery: After being fatally wounded by Carnage, he inexplicably returned over a decade later, presumably due to a previously unknown HealingFactor.
* TheUnintelligible: When he talks it comes out like this.
* WakingUpAtTheMorgue: After apparently being shot to pieces by Royal Blue, he wakes up on the autopsy table.
* WallCrawl: Like the real Spider-Man he can easily cling to vertical surfaces.

!!Spider-Man (Isotope Genome Accelerator Duplicate)

!!! '''First Appearance:''' ''Amazing Spider-Man'' Vol 5 #2 (September, 2018)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/amazing_spider_man_vol_5_3_second_printing_variant_textless.png]]
-->'''Spider-Man Duplicate:''' Yeah, but come on, even you have to admit -- the giant robot was awesome.

After Peter was pushed into an Isotope Genome Accelerator, a machine designed by Dr. Curt Connors to de-hybridise the characteristics of a single being, he became irradiated and split into two separate beings. Peter kept all of his memories and personality but lost his powers, while his Spider-Man identity took a life of its own, keeping all of his usual powers but losing any sense of responsibility.
----
* BewareTheSuperman: His debut arc shows that Spider-Man genuinely could be quite dangerous if he lacked Uncle Ben's teachings about responsibility.
* DeadpanSnarker: He has some decent quips here and there, but it's mostly {{averted}} as he lacks Peter's usual sharp wit, instead often resorting to puerile "randumb" humour and gratuitous pop culture references.
* EnemyWithout: As his wanton disregard for silly concepts like "property damage" and "common sense" gets out of hand, he inevitably clashes with his own secret identity, Peter Parker.
* {{Expy}}: He's somewhat similar in concept to the Superman duplicate from ''Film/SupermanIII'', being a darker LiteralSplitPersonality of the hero bereft of any sense of morality due to a lack of a human secret identity.
* InstantAwesomeJustAddMecha: He takes control of the Tri-Sentinel on the basis that giant robots are totally awesome, dude! Wait, whaddaya mean it causes tens of millions of dollars in property damage?
* LiteralSplitPersonality: After a freakish lab accident, Peter Parker and Spider-Man essentially become two separate people. The first story arc of Nick Spencer's ''Amazing Spider-Man'' run deals with their ensuing conflict.
* ManChild: He represents the worst excesses of Spider-Man's childish tendencies, namely his excitability for the superhero lifestyle. This culminates in him putting the city in danger by taking control of a giant Sentinel, purely and unashamedly for RuleOfCool.
* MetaGuy: He quite directly comments on the controversial developments in Spider-Man's life during Creator/DanSlott's run on the main comic, lampshading the perception that Peter has lost his way by making so many bad decisions in life and becoming a sad-sack loser. Unfortunately, [[IgnoredEpiphany rather than learn from his mistakes, he becomes an uninhibited hedonist.]]
* MotorMouth: This Spider-Man clone demonstrates how utterly obnoxious this trope can be when taken to too much of an extreme.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Another unfortunate Parker trait that he exaggerates and deconstructs. Peter often deals with money troubles in the comics and sometimes lets common greed get the better of him, resulting in him taking the occasional trashy promotional deal or trying to use super-heroics for personal gain. This was particularly prevalent in ''ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderManDanSlott'', during which Peter founded his own corporation, Parker Industries, off the back of Otto Octavius's work. As a TakeThat to those developments, this Spider-Man immediately signs off his likeness to various corporations in exchange for merchandising profits.
* ShadowArchetype: He represents what Peter could've turned out like if Uncle Ben played no role in his origin story.

* HasTwoDaddies: Itsy-Bitsy sees herself as having ''three'' daddies: [[spoiler:Patient Zero]], Deadpool, and Spider-Man.

* ElectraComplex: Itsy-Bitsy likes to tease her ''daddies''... in a creepy way.
-->“I don’t want to hurt you... Unless you like that sort of thing, Daddy.”
** Later on, when [[spoiler:Spidey is actively trying to kill her]], she comments that she "always wanted to feel his body against hers... but not like this."

* UpToEleven: He has amplified versions of all of Spider-Man's powers.

* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Another unfortunate Parker trait that he exaggerates and deconstructs. Peter often deals with money troubles in the comics and sometimes lets common greed get the better of him, resulting in him taking the occasional trashy promotional deal or trying to use super-heroics for personal gain. This was particularly prevalent in ''ComicBook/DanSlottSpiderMan'', during which Peter founded his own corporation, Parker Industries, off the back of Otto Octavius's work. As a TakeThat to those developments, this Spider-Man immediately signs off his likeness to various corporations in exchange for merchandising profits.

The second and most successful clone of Spider-Man created by the Jackal. A superhero known as the Scarlet Spider, Reilly later replaced Peter Parker for a time as Spider-Man after he found out that all this time he was the original and not Peter. Ben met his ultimate demise in the fight against the Green Goblin which led to Peter becoming Spider-man once again, after he found out that he is the real Spider-man after all. And then he came back, because comics are like that. See ComicBook/ScarletSpider for more info.

Kaine was the first clone of Spider-Man created by the Jackal. He was suffering from clone degeneration and was used as a test subject until he fled. He became an assassin and spent years tormenting his clone brother Ben Reilly until he was eventually cured of his cellular degeneration and has taken up the mantle his now dead brother as the new Scarlet Spider. See ComicBook/ScarletSpider for more info.
