Some day they'll be sorry! Sorry that they laughed at me!

Peter Parker[source]

History

Peter Parker was attending a public exhibition demonstrating the safe handling of nuclear laboratory waste materials when he was surprised by his Uncle Ben, who had taken off from work early to surprise him.[1] A spider irradiated by a particle accelerator used in the demonstration bit Ben and bestowed upon him proportionate spider-abilities.[2]

Peter created for his uncle a costume and Web-Shooters, and encouraged him to use his powers for show business. However, Ben decided to become a vigilante and help those in need.

After the Emerald Elf discovered Ben's secret identity, Peter was killed along with his aunt, causing his uncle to quit being a hero.[3]
