List of incarnations of Spider-Man

Later on Ben joined a company known as Beyond Corporation and worked under them, during this time Ben reunited with his old girlfriend Janine Godby. After learning he lost pieces of his mind, Ben ran away from Beyond. He later fought with Peter hoping to get his memories back and fell into a quantum shifting polymer as the building exploded. Janine found him and Ben picked up a new alias known as Chasm.

Spider-X (Brian Kornfield), created by Mort Todd, first appeared in Midnight Sons Unlimited #3 (Oct. 1993). Kornfield grew up off Broadway in New York City raised by his mother, with his father having been killed at an unknown time period. He had a very active imagination and idolized all superheroes, even writing letters to as many as he could. After his mother is brutally assaulted and mugged, Kornfield becomes obsessed with being a superhero so he could find and take down the muggers. Kornfield was met by the Dwarf, who offered him the power to be like his idol Spider-Man via the Darkhold. Kornfield accepted the offer and was transformed into Spider-X.
