The Story of The Burglar Who Killed Spider-Man's Uncle Ben

Doc Ock, eat your heart out!

[@HelenPaulTv]

When you think about it he is spiderman,s best friend because if he did not kill uncle ben spiderman would not be spiderman

[@Bumbo-busines]

Nah it’s the spider

[@TupocalypseShakur]

@@HelenPaulTv Peter would disagree

[@dragonlord3376]

Spectacular spiderman had an interesting take on the story. The burglar was Felicia hardy's (black cat's) father. He was a cat burglar who prided himself on never killing anyone, but as he grew older and slower he eventually started getting worried and started carrying a gun. Killing ben parker was an accident that he regrets to this day. He even passes up an opportunity to escape prison in order to help contain the rioting prisoners. Even when Peter tells him he'll never be forgiven, he's fine with that

[@bestjayceejay2518]

Ik I love that version

[@QueenBasically]

And that kinda made a Change of Peter and Felica's thing 😑

[@astonmartin1800]

​@Selena223 unfortunately, it only upsets Black cat for the fact that she never succeeded on freeing her father and she blames Spidey for that failure, even though that it is her father's choice to stay behind to stop the inmates who are about to escape and nearly succeeded. Black cat never forgave Spidey for not freeing her father from prison and ran off!

[@seankingultimatespideyfan8427]

I actually didn’t like that take.

[@SlyCooper1920]

That may explain why Peter Parker was pissed off at the sandman since he was wrongfully acusing him of his uncle's death

[@laughslapproductions4690]

*Spider-Man’s version of Joe Chill*

[@An_Owl_named_VIPER]

Man I just realized how many similarities Batman and spidy have

[@sarahaynes430]

yeah

[@Mayhem_jester]

That's exactly what I thought

[@foldabotZ]

Peter revealing himself to the Burglar reminded me of how (pre-Crisis)Batman confronted Joe Chill and revealed his own identity. The story was originally told in Batman(1940) #47(later reprinted in The Greatest Batman Stories Ever Told trade) and then retold in The Untold Legend of the Batman. It was also adapted as an episode of the Batman: The Brave and the Bold cartoon, "Chill of the Night," written by Paul Dini.

[@remc0s]

In another version the burglar was Herman Schultz, the future Shocker, who stole the experimental vibro-gauntlets from a science lab that just happened to be in the same building at which the wrestling matches took place. So not only did Peter cause the death of his uncle; he also aided in the creation of one of his own enemies. In another story where Spidey and Wolverine save a kidnapped mutant little girl, one of the kidnappers is dressed exactly like the burglar, which Peter then recognizes as his dentist. As far as i know it was never revealed if this dentist had any connection to the burglar, or why a dentist was working with a gang of child abducters in the first place.

[@nanaue7336]

In the Spectacular Spider-Man cartoon Series it was the father of Black Cat thats my favourite version

[@garganrose]

And yet we never learned this individual's name. Except in the movie Spider-Man 3 when it was revealed in a criminal file that his name was Dennis Carradine.

[@ShadowSonic2]

We knew his last name was "Carradine" because his daughter's name was Jessica Carradine. Then the movie said his first name was "Dennis".

[@garganrose]

@@ShadowSonic2 either way as far as I'm concerned that is the character's name because it's pretty much the only one that's ever been associated with the character unless you count that boss battle in the game based on the first Sam Raimi Spider-Man movie in which his name is Spike. Unless there's like this super obscure Spider-Man story that I don't know about which gives the completely different name to Uncle Ben's killer.

[@gta4801]

I wonder why this feud between spider man and the burglar isn’t a animated movie yet sounds like the perfect plot for one

[@madcreator4650]

WOW! A character so important for the origin of a superhero. Since now I thought that his only purpose was to push Peter to fight crime, but NOW! HE IS A GREATER CHARACTER THAN I THOUGHT!

[@hdofu]

Honestly felt more like a shoehorned story that adds nothing to the character XD

[@arkinyte13]

The Burglar kills Galactus with his gun.

[@CatacombSaint]

You are really underrated. Hope you get to that 15k soon!

[@Artisan1979]

6:57 but that wasn't the end of his story. Years later Jessica Carradine came into the life of both Peter Parker and Ben Reilly. She was the daughter of the burglar and that put a serious strain on hers and Ben's relationship, especially when she discovered that Ben was Spider-Man, having taken over for Peter while they both were under the assumption that Ben was the original Peter Parker and not a clone. She even took photos of him unmasking upon that discovery. When her father was in prison he fabricated events and let on that he was an innocent victim of Spider-Man and that what happened to Ben Parker was an accident as opposed to the version seen here. Driven by revenge and jealousy that Ben had moved onto a different girl, Jessica was going to mail those photos to the daily bugle. But then she watched him risk his life to save a child from a burning building and realized that her father had lied to her and that the man that she loved was a hero and not the villain that she had spent years believing to be. She burned the photos and the negatives and dropped out of sight forever.

[@Mayhem_jester]

So he didn't die

[@Artisan1979]

@@Mayhem_jester He did die. It was in prison when he told her of his side of the story which were all lies and she didn't see him before he had a heart attack with the final encounter with Peter. This was her trying to get revenge

sooooo am I to understand that Mysterio spends a good amount of time working at a nursing home hoping someone dies? You can't just show up as a person there has to be a backstory and relationships Mysterio keeps up with the elderly...over an extensive period of time....

Ok that hole thing about the burglar dying of a heart attack is just Flat out Lazy wiring

[@XxLordDarthVaderxX]

The story was good. but how old was the burglar? He just die by a heart attack trigger by fear? Is more easy belive that some one gets superpowers by a spiderbite. And don't tell me that he born with a weak heart, he never wouldn't survive his firts crime.

[@hdofu]

he could have had a heart condition... he a was afterall a normal human being acvtively pursued by Spider-Man, the sudden shock after all that fleeing could have killed him if he had some undiagnosed heart condition that was agitated at the wrong time. Heck if you don't want to buy that, some magical being could have intervened.

[@jerramaurice7836]

So why in the 3rd spider-man it said the sandman accidentally killed Uncle Ben? I see why that 3rd film flopped and the 4th one was cancelled

[@taytay7121]

Let's not also forget he tried to kill Peter but and while fighting him he had a heart attack and died he is so dumb I'm happy that he is dead now Peter won't have to worry about him anymore

[@garganrose]

In all likelihood, the treasure that the mugger was after must’ve been either cash or bonds, potentially worth millions if they hadn’t been destroyed by the corroded box.

[@xilverxoul6917]

This plot feels kind of contrived to me with the later additions. I kind of wish they could have just left it as a burglar broke in that Peter could have stopped.

[@Jack_Donovan]

That’s Spider-Man comics in a nutshell

[@LUCKO2022]

It is a rip off of one of the old Batman comics (not in canon) where Bruce meets up with Joe Chill and reveals that he is Batman. This causes Chill to panic and he told the other villains that he created Batman, which they all killed Chill for creating.

[@michaelprice7315]

What if the burglar who killed Spider-Man’s Uncle Ben became Spider-Man?
