Origin

Kaine Parker, a flawed clone of Peter Parker bearing the Mark of Kaine, spent years as a ruthless mercenary haunted by a degenerative condition and a violent past. After events in Houston forced his hand, he reluctantly donned the Scarlet Spider mantle — a hero's role he never wanted but couldn't walk away from.
