For Season 5, I had an idea for how to introduce Judas Traveller, Morlun, Ezekiel Sims, and the Brotherhood of the Scrier all in one plotline;

At the start of the second Clone Saga, a man named Judas Traveller appears in Peter Parker's and Ben Reilly's lives. He sends his pawns, the Scriers, to attack them frequently.

Eventually, Spider-Man and Scarlet Spider are confronted by a man named Ezekiel Sims, who reveals to them that he and Traveller are beings who have walked the Earth for centuries. Ezekiel then claims that he and Judas have been fighting each other for as long as they have known each other. He warns the Spiders that Traveller is an extremely dangerous opponent to their very existence.

After Ben Reilly becomes Spider-Man, he fights the Scriers once again before finally coming up against Traveller once more, who proves to be an extremely powerful combatant. Ezekiel appears and helps Spider-Man fight Traveller, but Ezekiel is killed in an explosion and Reilly barely escapes.

Eventually, Traveller catches up with Reilly and reveals that he is actually Morlun, a being with a need to feast on the life force of individuals with the traits of animals called Totems. Reilly is then beaten senseless by Morlun, but just as Morlun is about to feast on Reilly, Peter Parker returns in his Spider-Man costume and attacks Morlun.

Both Spider-Men tag team Morlun, but he proves too powerful and is about to feast on Parker, but Reilly jumps in front of his "brother" and sacrifices himself to save Peter by allowing Morlun to drain his life force instead. Morlun then reveals that Reilly's energy was "synthetic", making it not pure; confirming that Reilly is, in fact the clone.

Morlun then leaves Spider-Man to mourn the death of his clone, wanting to feast on Spider-Man's life force when he is strong and willing to fight.
