Sinister entrepreneur James Johnsmeyer funds Kaine's healing process (begun by the Jackal during MAXIMUM CLONAGE) in the hope of manipulating him into taking part in the Great Game. Kaine rejects Johnsmeyer, fends off his super-powered players and rescues Muse as he departs. Years ago, Spider-Man disposed of his clone's body in a smokestack, not realising he was still alive and escaped incineration before taking on the name Ben Reilly. Now, as the stack is about to be demolished, workers discover a skeleton in a tattered Spider-Man costume...
Sensational Spider-Man #2
After hearing about the discovery of the skeleton, a frantic Ben Reilly dons his Spider-Man suit and steals it from the morgue, only to be spotted by J Jonah Jameson. Johnsmeyer sends the Rhino to force Kaine and Muse into the Great Game. Spider-Man sees the battle as he carries the skeleton through the city, allowing Kaine to escape. Ben returns to his apartment and barely hides the bones before Jessica Caradine enters...
Johnsmeyer instigates the next challenge in the great game as the players send their super-powered pawns to kill Kaine. Whoever succeeds wins! Kaine defeats the Rhino and escapes, leaving Spider-Man to handle Polestar and Joystick. The villains are all defeated, but Kaine escapes again. Carolyn Trainer (the new Doctor Octopus) visits her father Seward Trainer in hospital, believing he's about to die. Or he will if she can help it...
