How I would relaunch the Scarlet Spider Title focusing on Kaine


I was a big fan of the Scarlet Spider Series, focusing on Kaine Parker. Peter Parker's clone and who was a villain but later got redeemed and became the new Scarlet Spider. I loved that series and the last thing Kaine was in Spider Geddon. Kaine eventually returns at the end of Spider-Verse and is alive again. I hope they will bring back Kaine in his own series soon.  

If I were to write a Scarlet Spider story, here's how I would write it.

The series follows Kaine, now living in Las Vegas after the events of Spider Geddon.
He's living everyday life as Kaine Parker. 
He works at a gym but makes much money from his job, robbing some bad guys. 
He also has a new friend named Jeff Evans, who owns the gym called Bump It, and he goes out drinking with him. Kaine fights crime as Scarlet Spider and protects Las Vegas since Ben Reilly previously protected it. 
Kaine occasionally hears from Peter and worries about him because they are brothers. He knows about Ben and says, "It's a shame he went down the worst path I did." 
Kaine would reunite with old friends. 
 Maria Aracely Penalba is with the New Warriors but will return and reunite with Kaine in the series.  
Kaine also reunites with his former fling Annabella who is now in Las Vegas, but her music career has gone downhill, and she's working as a stripper in Las Vegas.
Kaine wants to help her, but she doesn't want his help, and she feels he abandoned her because he never came back to Houston. Kaine tells her it was hard for him to return, and he tells her about the other things in his life. Spider-Verse, Clone Conspiracy, and Spider-Gedeon. At the same time, Kaine never stopped thinking about her, for he always thought of her.  
The two of them would rekindle their romance, and he would get advice about romance from Peter.
Kaine would also reunite Wally and Donald from his time in Texas. 
Kaine is happy to see both of them, and he apologizes to them for what happened with Kraven, but both Wally and Donald forgive him, and Wally mentions him telling his brother Peter about how he forgave Kaine and still supported him. Kaine remembers Peter mentioning that during Spider-Verse. 
Kaine would have a big dinner reunion with Annabella, Donald, Wally, and Maria, but that gets ruined when some villains come to Las Vegas.

In a shocking twist, Charlie Parker, aka Spider Kid from Spider Force, would be in this storyline.
He ended up being Earth 616, and we would see Kaine become a mentor to Spider Kid.
Kaine would have a complicated relationship, unlike his relationship with Maria. 
We see Kaine become a father figure to Charlie Parker because he didn't have that because his uncle Ben abused him. 
 

Everything changes for Kaine as Kraven the Hunter comes to Las Vegas, causing mayhem, and he's got his own Sinister 6. Kaine would be getting his own Sinister 6, and they want to kill him. 

Kraven's Sinister 6 rooster is.  
   
Kraven the Hunter (Leader)
Kraven forms his own Sinister 6 to hunt down and kill Scarlet Spider. He was told about Kaine by his father and now wants to finish his father's hunt and kill Kaine. Kraven feels out of all Spidermen, Kaine disrespected his father the most and wouldn't give him the peace he wanted. 

Jason Macendale/Grey Goblin
Jason Macendale was brought back during Clone Conspiracy and died again. However, it's revealed Jason was never actually dead. It turns out he faked death, and that person Roderick killed was actually someone else. Jason then becomes full-on Merc, changing his name, and he meets Kraven and joins his Sinister 6 team. Instead of becoming Hobgoblin again, he decides to become the new Grey Goblin that was originally Gabriel Stacy, but that was recon. 

Raptor 
Raptor, who was killed off in the comics, would return this time because he wants revenge on Kaine for killing him and not curing him. This Raptor is a clone created by Kraven but has the memories of the previous Raptor. 

Harvester 
Harvester was killed by Deadpool in Deadpool Assassin, but it's revealed this is a different Harvester, for it's a mantle passed down in the assassin guild. This Harvester was the cousin of the original Harvester. 

Salamander 
Salamander was one of the first villains Kaine fought and would join Kraven's Sinister 6 to kill Kaine. 

Bruiser 
Bruiser is the team's muscle and is recruited as a member to take down Kaine.

After Kraven and his Sinister 6 come to Las Vegas to cause mayhem and attempt to kill him and his friends after a great reunion with them, Scarlet Spider must stop his Sinister 6 from destroying his new home and friends; this time, he's got Hummingbird and Spider-Kid to help him. 
This story is about Kaine making a comeback, and it's a more down-earth Spiderman. 
I would make it an eight-issue storyline.
The next storyline has Scarlet Spider facing off against Chasm, aka Ben Reilly.
The next storyline is Kaine facing off against Ben, who wants to kill him. 
The two of them would face off, and Peter Parker would be involved in helping Kaine defeat Ben. Kaine and Peter also believe there might be a chance to save their brother Ben, but it seems unlikely. As Kaine mentions, he will kill Ben if he can't be saved. Because unlike Peter, Kaine is willing to take a life because he's the Wolverine of Spidermen.  
This would be a six-part storyline. Guest staring Peter Parker aka Spiderman.  
That's how I would relaunch the Scarlet Spider series. I want to see Kaine make a comeback because I loved The Scarlet Spider run, written by Christopher Yost. This character has more stories to tell.
Let me know what you think.
