Ben Parker (1994-1998)

History
Ben Parker was the husband of May Parker and the uncle of Peter Parker.

When Ben was in his youth, he and his friend, Kevin Marlow, both competed for the affections of Lenora Sharp and Ben initially won her heart. During World War Two, Kevin took part of the Super Soldier Program and became the hero 'The Destroyer'. When he told this to Lenora, she immediately left Ben for Kevin. Ben later married May Parker and the couple took in their nephew, Peter, when his parents were killed. Ben became like a father to Peter, even taking him to science camp.

However, after Peter became Spider-Man, Ben was shot and killed by a burglar whom Peter could have stopped hours before. When Peter discovered this he pledged to use his powers responsibly and to live by his Uncle's words 'With great power, comes great responsibility'.
