—Uncle Ben[src]

History

Before the End of the World[]

Ben Parker received spider-powers when he accompanied his nephew Peter to a science demonstration where he was bitten by a radioactive spider. He decided to use his powers to help others, despite Peter suggesting he go into show business, but retired out of grief after his foe, the Emerald Elf, discovered his identity and killed his wife and Peter.

Ben Parker

Ben was later approached by Ezekiel Sims, who informed Ben about the imminent arrival of Morlun to kill him. With nothing left, Ben accepted Ezekiel's offer, and was maintained in a secret bunker in Sims Tower even after his Earth was decimated when a blackmail plot by Doctor Octopus went wrong, leaving Earth decimated by the resulting thermonuclear war.[3]

Return to Action[]

When Silk arrived to Earth-3145 as she was looking for refuge from the Inheritors, she arrived to Sims Tower, and encountered Ben. The prime Spider-Man and the resistance later arrived to Earth-3145, and Silk presented Ben to them.[4]

Although Ben initially declined to join the other Spiders in their final attack on the Inheritors, believing that he had been foolish to ever think that he had made a difference, Peter and prime Otto Octavius convince him to do so by arguing that he has only failed if he gives up, Peter in particular affirming that the advice of his own Uncle Ben has saved his world and made a difference every day.[3] He was also brought to Earth-TRN461 by Spider-UK to help the Spider-Men battle the Inheritors, who had invaded the reality.[1]

Alongside the Spider-Army

The Spider-Army managed to interrupt the ritual the Inheritors were performing, in which they were going to sacrifice The Other, The Scion, and The Bride (Kaine, Benjy Parker, and Silk, respectively) to destroy every Spider. Ben rescued Benjy and used his teleporter to bring him back to Earth-982 and keep him safe.[5] Following the Inheritors' defeat, Ben decided to return to Earth-982 with May, reasoning that he has nothing left on his world and he now has a chance to be the grandfather that no other Ben Parker managed to become.[6]

Ben continued operating on Earth-TRN461 to combat the Multiversal Sinister Six. He spent Father's Day with the native Peter Parker, who had lost his Uncle Ben years prior.[1]

Aiding the Web-Warriors[]

Ben's assistance was requested by the Spider-Woman of Earth-65 in another multiversal crisis, with the emergence of the Electro-Verse, an army of Electros from across all of reality.[7] Together with Spider-Woman, Ben traveled to the reality where the Electros' navigation system was located, and destroyed it, leaving them blind to traverse the Web of Life and Destiny.[8]

Teaming-up with the Web-Warriors against the Electro-Verse

They later tried to erase the collective mind of the Electro-Verse's leader, the Battery, using a tele-consciousness rig stolen from them, but failed. As an alternative to neutralizing the Battery, Spider-Woman had it teleported to a Faraday cage her teammates the Web-Warriors had built in Earth-803 to contain the rest of the army of Electros.[9]

Ben returned to his normal life on Earth-982, but he was eventually called to action once again, to fend off the Electro-Verse, which had broken free from their cage.[10] As a last resort to defeat the Battery, Ben used the tele-consciousness rig to have his mind absorbed into the Battery. The presence of Ben's conscience drastically altered the Battery's personality, and demanded their fellow Electros to stop fighting.[11]
