((From what I've found, there are actually SEVERAL characters that go by the alias of "Scarlet Spider," and I'm not sure which you would like me to cover exactly, so I'm just going to do them all rapid-fire, okay? Okay.))

Yes, Benjamin "Ben" Reilly AKA Scarlet Spider from the Spider-Man comics could kill Macbeth! He applies for both the Unconventional Birth Clause and the Birth Parent Clause due to being a human clone of Peter Parker created by Miles Warren AKA The Jackal.

Yes, Kaine Parker AKA Scarlet Spider form the Spider-Man comics could kill Macbeth! He also applies for both the Unconventional Birth Clause and the Birth Parent Clause due to being a human clone of Peter Parker created by Miles Warren AKA The Jackal.

Yes, Michael, Van, and Patrick (Team name "Red Team"/"Scarlet Spiders") from the Spider-Man comics could kill Macbeth! They all apply for the Unconventional Birth Clause and potentially the Birth Parent Clause, due to all three of them being human clones of Michael Van Patrick ("MVP") with their creation being ordered by Henry Peter Gyrich in order to keep MVP's death a secret from the public.

No, Joseph "Joe" Wade AKA Scarlet Spider from the Spider-Man comics could not kill Macbeth. Though his mind and body were drastically altered when in the persona of the Scarlet Spider due to a confrontation between Doctor Octopus and Ben Reilly (also called Scarlet Spider), all of Wade's transformations were able to be reversed medically, meaning this state was an affliction rather than the creation of a new entity.

Yes, Felicity Hardy AKA Scarlet Spider from the Spider-Man comics could kill Macbeth! Though she only used the title temporarily, she still applies under the Gender Clause.

As for Peter-post-Other, resurrection is a difficult subject to handle in the case of a character's ability to kill Macbeth. Personally, I am of the belief that if a character's consciousness/soul is kept the same across the old body and the new, it would not count as a separate person and therefore would apply for the same clauses as they did before death. But there are arguments for the other side as well! So I'd say that we'll be keeping Post-Other Peter Parker uncategorized for now.
