It’s Ben, and it’s a bit convoluted. The not well-collected 1995 Spider-Man Holiday Special has a Ben and Johnny story.
Ben has memories of being friends with Johnny (everything published from Amazing Fantasy 15 up to, roughly, 1972), since he has Peter’s memories up to the point of cloning.
I stand by this @cloneconspiracy.bsky.social meme re 2020s Peter Parker and Ben Reilly.

Thank you (and sorry for the Clone Saga memories, whoops)!

New episode now out on most podcasting platforms, yeah.

That’s science, baby.
damn you live like this?

Web-Slinger (Patrick O’Hara) is the cowboy Spider-Man of Earth-31913, and the indignity of his blond brother, Ben, being a Confederate soldier. 😭
