For those of you unfamiliar with [Civil War: Battle Damage Report], it's basically a collective of info on everyone involved in the Civil War, with about a half-page blurb on each person.
At the end, however, is a 3-page list of characters who are "of interest". A few of the ones I thought were interesting were "Toxin (potential recruit)", "Kaine (Enemy Combatant)", "Scream (Enemy Combatant)", and "Namora (Reportedly Deceased)".
I found these interesting for a few reasons; 1) Kaine. Nuff Said. 2) It shows Marvel is willing to possibly bring back some older characters (to the best of my knowledge, Scream was last seen in 1999).
Here's the thing that gets me. With the status of "Reportedly Deceased", the fact that Kaine's in there, and the Scarlet Spider mentioned in Thunderbolts 111 (which, I know, COULD have been a typo for Steel Spider... *crosses fingers*), our beloved Ben isn't on the list. At least, I couldn't find him. Tried "Scarlet Spider", "Ben Reilly", "Spider-Man", and "Reilly, Ben", but nothing. This made me... a little sad, to say the least.
Anyway, could you IMAGINE the reaction if he were on there, with his status as "Reportedly Deceased?"
