Ben Riley was Peter Parker's clone from a story back in 1973(?). He was thought dead and his body supposedly disposed of by Peter. At that point the clone had no name; he was just "the clone," a replicate of Peter in body and mind.
In the mid-'90s Marvel decided Spider-Man wasn't friendly enough to young readers. Peter was now in his mid-20s, married and had a long continuity to deal with. They decided to wipe it clean by having the "dead" clone not be dead. Also, the "clone" was not the clone at all -- our Peter, who had won the fight, who disposed of the body of the "dead clone," was, in fact, the clone!
Every story since that issue of ASM had been about the clone. The clone dropped out of Empire State University. The clone revealed his identity to a dying kid. The clone married Mary Jane.
The real Peter Parker, thought dead, had been out there all this time, thinking he was the clone! He came back to New York, confronted "clone Peter (the real Peter)" and they decided it wasn't really fair to "real Peter (the actual clone, now named Ben Riley)" to have had his life stolen.
Beyond that it got weird. "Clone (actually real) Peter" dyed his hair and created another superhero identity -- several if I recall (and it's difficult, because I didn't read most of the story). In the end, outraged fans forced Marvel to backslide. It turned out our beloved Peter was the real Peter, the clone had been wandering the world thinking he was real, and the clone died.
I think it took about two years to tell the story.

cuz the artwork was so bad for a while (not saying mcfarlaine is great, but it was really engaging at the time) that i couldn't read it.
and i was never a fan of the whole "grey hulk" thing anyway.

Whoa, whoa, whoa there.
Invincible kicks much ass. The career of Robert Kirkman more than justifies all the shit Image has pumped out over the years.

I think he made the worst picture of Captain America ever.
Hell it is probably the worst picture of any comic book character, nay the entire world of artistic creation.
My god, get a copy of Gray's Anatomy and READ IT like it was Revelation.
Jeez.
EDIT: I typed in the phrase "he d r e w" and it came out "he Draw". What, is the Dino-translator stuck on the "On" position for this thread?

Well atleast he doesn't have that moronic A on his head.
