Long post ahead. You have been warned...
1. Scarlet Spider:
I actually like the Idea of a Spiderman-clone swinging through New York. A Spiderman-clone, not a Peter-clone!
I see a (otherwise unrelated) teenager getting caught up in some genetic experiment, possibly with peter's dna/blood, who developes similar powers. He'd still live his own life, though, which should contrast strongly with Peter's. He could possibly have a loving father and mother, and three siblings.
He'd get a costume different from Spiderman (Scarlet Spider again...), and he'd be into it for the sheer thrill, the adventure, and the girl attraction.
He'd naturally blow his identity faster than anyone could look, and after nearly getting killed (Kingpin could kidnap the new kid's parents. The new guy walks into the trap, get's himself caught and is beaten up horribly, when Kingpin tries to get Spiderman's true identity; Peter helps out, saves the guy (who had been a real pain in the ass for him up to then)) he'd be recruted by Fury for his Ultimates.
As for his personality, just imagine a cross between The Human Torch and Geldorf (from 'Irresponsible').
2. Connor's:
A great character in my eyes. He's in REAL trouble (as you can see from the letter in ishue 61), and still he tries to do the right thing. Things probably didn't work out the way he hoped, though, with the clone/the future carnage. He (rightfully?) belives, Peter wouldn't agree with what his clone had become, and so he tries to hide it from him. He CAN'T just stop his project, because his very career depens on it now. All this makes him a truely interesting character in my eyes.
3. The Carnage Arc
The Clone will turn into Carnage, will go on a rampage, will probably kill Connor (remember the Cover with the Arm of the corpse) and Spidey will confront him, hunt him down and probably kill him. Ben Reiley will disappear after the end of the arc, because Bendis most likely intended him as an actuall name-joke.
4. Green Goblin/Spider-Villains
I won't mind knowing Norman Osborn in custody. I hate the guy who brought 616-Norman back from the dead, and this negative feelings influenced my view of Ultimate Norman as well. Further more, this character has had looots of screen time, a hell lot more than any other villain. I'n my opinion, it would be nice top concentrate on other villains for a while. Doc Ock has been done, recently, other's could follow.
As for Harry Osborn, well, I really hope Bendis will do more stuff with him before he eventuelly turns him into a Goblin as well. I'd actually like to see more villains without a direct connection to spidey, though. For that matter, I'd like to see a few villains on Kingpin's payroll. It'd make sense. He hates Spiderman, and the best chance to bring him down would be a sufficiently strong super-powered mercenary.
