Fan Casting Uncle Ben Parker in Jim Cameron's Spider-Man

A gentle, working-class man who knows he is "not very good at the father thing" but loves Peter deeply. In a late-night heart-to-heart, Ben admits he doesn't have all the answers, but wants Peter to know he and May are always there. His senseless murder by a carjacker — a criminal Peter could have stopped — becomes the moral turning point of the story, teaching Peter that power without responsibility is meaningless.
