Poor Uncle Ben

Or as I like to call him, 'Uncle Lunchmeat' because that was what he was the second he appeared in that first Spider-Man comic. He was dead before the ink even dried on the page. No need to invest in this guy because he isn't going to around for issue number 2. All you were was a plot device to keep Peter from doing what all of us would have done with those powers - make mad scratch and wear so much bling so we could not swing (now those are some sweet lyrics!)
