    I have not read any of the Scarlet Spider but I notice a lot of people love Kaine. I'd like to know why because I'm considering reading the Scarlet Spider. Also, any suggestions?

    Kaine is a fantastic character. Essentially he is Peter is Peter had never learned Uncle Ben's lessons. If you like Spider-Man I highly suggest reading both Scarlet Spider and the recent Venom run. Both are excellent and available in trades.

    He's really likeable because he's your typical badass, but he also, as TheAcidSkull said, constantly struggles to do the right thing. Which is pretty tough for him since he use to be one of Spider-Man's villains.

    Because he actually feel sorry and regrets all the bad he did over the years (not like “inferior”), and even if he is an ass most of the time he always ends up doing what is right.

    The way he struggles with trying to redeem himself for the things hes done is far more interesting than superior. Where Kaine truly seeks forgiveness from not only Peter but God for the terrible things hes done to those around him, Superior Spider-man somehow thinks hes doing good making the most of his second chance without actually realizing the horrible thing hes done to achieve this.

    I highly recommend you check it out. The writing is excellent. The supporting cast is great. People are intelligent. Kaine is actually a likeable protagonist. The only downside is that it ended too soon. Trust me you'll enjoy it. It's in my opinion 100% better than Superior.

    I find Kaine more relateable than Peter, where Peter can be a bit wishy washy and unrealistically good, Kaine is more like a real person and acts and thinks the same I would if I was in the same situation.

    Because he's an interesting anti-hero. He doesn't want to play the hero but is forced into it.
