Ben Reilly, the original Scarlet Spider is Spider-Man though.
During the clone Saga it was revealed he was the true peter parker. So for temporary time during the comic run before he took the new spider-man suit, he was the scarlet spider and the true spider-man/peter parker.

Now after his stint in the new spidey costume, it came back around that Osborn messed with the results in reed richards' lab(don't ask me how), and he was indeed the clone.

The variant stand is a nod to this. Just like the Skaar variant stand also says son of hulk, and Namor's stand says something else that's a comic reference.

Spider-man has never been Ironman, so that would indeed be silly.
