- Ben (age 17) wakes up in a hospital in a secret lab owned by Oscorp. His memories are a bit jumbled and scrambled due to a drug that Miles Warren used to suppress certain parts of his memory. Miles uses the drug and his disorientation as a means to manipulate him, making him think that he was injured and a copy cat took his place thinking him dead. During a confrontation with Miles over the lack of evidence of the copycat, Ben becomes convinced that Peter is not a copy but somehow Ben is. He escapes the lab and flees New York.
- While Ben Reilly is investigating Peter Parker as an alleged copy cat, Kaine is subjected to a variety of tests at the hands of the Jackal.
- Unbeknownst to Ben, Norman Osborn gets wind of Miles Warren's unauthorized attempt to clone Spider-Man. Norman flies into a rage, considering Spider-Man and his inevitable death his own prerogative.

Norman leaves, not realizing that Miles' cloning had been completed to fruition.
- While chasing a story, something he thinks will be his big break to getting back in the journalism world, Eddie (age 34) is exposed to and infected by a Klyntar symbiote, an alien species that infects his mind and body and transforms him into the gestalt creature known as Venom. At first, Eddie and Venom are in conflict but they come to find an uneasy truce together, so long as Eddie keeps finding suitable targets to assuage Venom's appetites and doesn't try to reign in the fun too much. The secret, of course, is that sometimes Eddie's having fun, too.
