Uncle Ben

Ben Parker is the husband to May Parker and uncle to Peter Parker.

Biography
Ben befriended secret agent Keene Marlow who taught him the phrase "With great power comes great responsibility." It was through Keene that he met May Parker. After the death of his brother Richard and his wife Mary Ben and May looked after their child Peter. He acted as a father to him, helping him through life. He introduced Peter to Otto Octavius. He taught Peter Keene's phrase. Once Peter got superpowers he went on the show It's Amazing and later a wrestler to get money. He decided not to catch a robber who eventually made his way to the Parker Home where he killed Ben. Spider-Man tracked the killer to a warehouse where he realized his mistake. The pain of his knowledge pushed him into using his powers responsibly to protect people. He spent the following years constantly haunted by his failure and tried to make up for it. Whenever he thought of quitting he would remember Ben and continue on.

Alternate Versions
Many alternate versions of Ben Parker also died, pushing their Peters into superheroism. The Ben Parker from the Spider-Carnage Universe was also killed, but May also died.

However, one Ben did not die. The armored Spider-Man's Ben was saved. Because of this, this Peter never knew failure and became quite arrogant. When Spider-Carnage and Spider-Man came to this universe, Spider-Man realized that he couldn't beat his evil counterpart so he had Ben talk to him. Ben reminded him of his catchphrase so Spider-Carnage sacrificed himself to stop the Carnage symbiote.
