 The safe zone is eventually compromised and Ben is captured by the Inheritors.It is revealed that the infant Ben is a vital part of a prophecy that will help bring about the downfall of the Inheritors and involves "The Other" (Kaine), "The Bride" (Silk) and "The Scion" (Ben himself).However, conversely if the three specific totems were sacrificed together, their deaths will ensure not only the Inheritors remain in power forever but also will stop future spider-people from appearing, and thus preventing the prophecy.
