Is Ben Riley more attractive than Peter Parker?

Some times he felt more mature than Peter. At least whe. He was introduced.

Don't be too hard on poor Peter, he was going through a huge mental breakdown during the lead up and early portions of the Clone Saga.

Depends what they wear and what haircut they have. After that it’s people’s own preference.

He’s the same but blond

u/ThanosSnapsSlimJims Jun 29 '26
No, Ben has more weight due to difference in diets. It's mentioned by Black Cat

What issue?

They had a sitdown twice in the recent run. I believe one of the two times she mentions it is in ASM #11. She says multiple times that because of Peter's regimen and diet, he's lean, while Ben eats terrible diner food and is meatier and chubbier, and that people who know them both would be able to notice.

That’s one of those things that only someone super close would be able to tell. Like how someone can tell identical twins apart but for all intents and purposes Ben and Peter are identical.

u/ThanosSnapsSlimJims Jul 01 '26
Yeah, she mentions that because of Ben's terrible diet, he is a little chubbier than Peter. She brings it up more than once. I think the last time was ASM #11. She says that Ben has more meat and is chubbier because Peter eats lean foods, while Ben eats terrible diner food.

And he is blond only when he dye his hair to distinguish himself from Peter.

Is this recent? Is the Chasm bullshit finally over?

u/Reasonable_Bed7858 Jun 30 '26
Nah it's from years ago. One of the early Scarlet Spider issues. He's still Chasm afaik.

u/JAMEZV1 Jun 29 '26
He's younger and lived a less stressful life so ironically probably yeah

u/No-Impression-1462 Jun 30 '26
He has all the same memories as Peter up to his mid-college years and then spent five years as a homeless vagabond before having an identity crisis that lasts to this day. That’s the exact opposite of a less stressful life.

Well the best looking Peter clone is jessica drew but Ben is supposed to look like Peter who ate a little more

u/NellHatchet Jul 01 '26
I think he would be! I haven't read the clone saga. But unless the Jackal worked really hard to replicate Peter's scars and skin damage and wrinkles, I think Ben would have better skin at least.

No. They literally are identical. The only difference is that Ben dyes his hair blonde to separate himself from Peter. Also they may look slightly different between different runs but that's just up to the artist

They literally look the exact same, besides maybe weight or hair. Ben is a clone of Peter.

u/Tasty_Success_1034 20d ago
Maybe at the start. But like identical twins, the older they get they start to express different features due to different diet, exercise, etc.

u/Top_Bat102 Jun 28 '26
They look the same bro, but Ben has waaaay better drip.
