Ben Parker

Ben Parker, typically known as Uncle Ben, was the Uncle of Peter Parker and the wife of May Parker. He was a kind, older man who was Peter's father figure as Peter's parents died when he was younger. He is tragically killed by a criminal that Peter didn't stop despite having the chance to do so. His death would teach Peter that with great power comes great responsibility, a philosophy that he took to heart when he chose to become the superhero known as Spider-Man.
