Dan Slott and Jim Cheung’s The Clone Conspiracy is the year’s big Spider-Man event, as long-time foe The Jackal is going around resurrecting pretty much anyone that ever met Peter Parker before their death. This week saw even more characters return from the dead, and considering some of them are quite obscure we’ve put together a handy chart to keep track of who’s who in The Clone Conspiracy.

Warning: Spoilers for The Clone Conspiracy #2 follow

I’ve written at length about my love for D-List supervillains, and few people have a stronger roster of D-Listers than the Amazing Spider-Man. There are some truly obscure names counted among the recently resurrected villains in The Jackal’s employ, so if the reveal left you a bit lost, check out our guide to who’s who:

    The Hobgoblin

    Hobgoblin is an identity that has been used a lot by supervillains, so this could be Arnold Donovan, who was killed by the original Hobgoblin; Jason Macendale who was also killed by the original Hobgoblin; or Daniel Kingsley, who was killed by Phil Urich. It could also possibly be Ned Leeds, who was killed by agents of the mercenary Foreigner, but he was brainwashed into being Hobgoblin by the original, so maybe not.

    Carlos (or Eduardo) Lobo

    The Lobo Brothers were mutants who had the power to turn into werewolves.

It could also be Eduardo, who died due to a bullet meant for Spider-Man, but his fur was black as opposed to Carlos’s brown.
