Then this is exactly like Ben and your father. [Where to start...] I'm going to assume you know who Gwen Stacy is. Your father's college girlfriend. [Okay, she was way more than that, even to him, but seeing how freaked out May got at the thought of Carlie Cooper, he wasn't going to go into too much detail.] Osborn threw her off a bridge and killed her. Parker and Stacy had a college professor, a man named Miles Warren, who, uh... [was mad he couldn't bone her because she was dead and blamed Peter.] let's just say he was crazy and didn't take her death well. Osborn secretly financed him, and he started working on cloning Gwen, as well as Peter. I'm not sure when he figured out who he was, but he wanted revenge on your father for [being able to fuck] failing to protect Gwen from Osborn. In an ironic twist, I doubt he knew he was being funded by the guy who killed her.
Like I said, I was the first. He starting teaching me how to be your father, but when I started showing the first signs of degeneration, he... Not important. What matters is he had to go back to the drawing board. He created Reilly. Unlike me, Reilly was perfect. In time, Warren taught him to be Parker. He came to believe he was Parker. This led to his grand plan: pitting Reilly and Parker against each other on the baseball diamond at Shea Stadium. I have mentioned Warren is crazy, right? They fought at first, but eventually they teamed up to defeat my father and save some Bugle reporter... I think he's dead now anyway. Whatever. Point is Parker believed Reilly died under some rubble.
Only he didn't. Reilly, believing he was the clone, took off and started forging his own identity. Fast forward 5 years. Your great aunt was dying--only it wasn't her, don't ask that's another long, complicated story I only know pieces of--and Reilly had to see her one last time before she died. Warren and Osborn fucked with them a bit, and for a year your father thought he was the clone, and Reilly the original. I... might have helped with that.
According to Warren's files, Reilly was the original. Thinking your father was the clone, I... never mind, it's not important. What matters is until Reilly died I thought he was the original.
Eventually, Reilly and Parker seemed to stop questioning which one was the original, and focused instead on the lives they had created on their own merits. [And then Ben died.]
