Named after
Ben Franklin, Uncle Ben Parker served as Peter Parker's surrogate father. He
was killed by a thug almost immediately after being introduced. Peter could
have captured the killer before he murdered his uncle, but declined to do so
because "it's not my problem." After Uncle Ben died, Peter considered
himself responsible and hunted the murderer down. The criminal eventually dies
of a heart attack when run down by Spiderman. On a side note, Ben Parker never
uttered the phrase "with great power comes great responsibility."
This tagline came from Stan Lee in a panel at the end of Amazing Fantasy #15.
