and fully retires from being Spider-Man. In 2006, Ben, now the new Spider-Man, is murdered by Morlun, forcing Peter back into the role to protect his family. In other media In Spider-Man: The Animated Series, the "Clone Saga" appears in two forms during the fifth season. In the first version, depicted in the two-part episode "The Return of Hydro-Man", Miles Warren is shown to have created two water-based clones of Hydro-Man and Mary Jane Watson; the former having evaporated in a previous battle with Spider-Man, while the latter was believed to have died after being thrown into an interdimensional portal by the Green Goblin. The Mary Jane clone escaped from Warren's lab and reunited with Spider-Man early in the fourth season, who believed that the real Mary Jane had returned. Eventually, the Hydro-Man clone tracks her down and takes her to Warren's underwater lab, but Spider-Man follows him and learns that both Hydro-Man and Mary Jane are clones. With Mary Jane's help, who developed some water-based powers of her own, Spider-Man defeats Hydro-Man, but both clones then evaporate. Following the battle, Warren retrieves a piece of Spider-Man's costume that was torn apart and collects a DNA sample from it as he contacts Alistair Smythe to have Silvermane send some men to repair his underwater laboratory so that he can begin his next project. The second version, which is an adaptation of the second "Clone Saga", is depicted in the two-part series finale, "Spider Wars". After testing Spider-Man's leadership skills by having him lead a team of heroes against a team of villains on an alien planet (which served as an adaptation of the "Secret Wars" storyline), Madame Web and the Beyonder bring him to an alternate reality where Miles Warren has successfully cloned Peter Parker. After both the real Peter and the clone escaped, the former, believing himself to be the clone, became Ben Reilly aka Scarlet Spider, while the clone became Spider-Man. Upon discovering the truth, however, the clone was driven mad by jealousy, and was approached by the Carnage symbiote, who merged with him and transformed him into Spider-Carnage. After destroying New York with the help of several villains, whom he recruited as his enforcers, Spider-Carnage plotted to destroy the multiverse from his native universe using a matter-disintegrator bomb powered by the Time-Dilation Accelerator, and nearly succeeded, but Madame Web and the Beyonder were able to rewind time
