<P> When Peter later returned home, he was informed by a police officer that his beloved Uncle Ben had been killed by a burglar . Outraged, he donned his Spider - Man costume and captured the man only to realize to his horror that it was the same burglar whom he could have effortlessly captured earlier at the studio . As a result, Peter considered himself morally responsible for Ben's death and resolved to fight crime as a superhero--realizing that with great power comes great responsibility--and vowing never to let another innocent person come to harm if he could help it . </P> <P> Ben Parker's death was truly avenged when the burglar returned for the money once more, threatening Aunt May . The burglar died from a heart attack upon beholding his old nemesis Spider - Man once again and learning that Spider - Man and Peter Parker were one and the same person. _́ </P> <P> In Amazing Spider - Man Family #7, May relates to Peter her account of meeting Ben for the first time . </P> <P> Ben briefly appeared in Amazing Spider - Man #500; after Spider - Man played a vital role in preventing the resurrection of Dormammu, an unidentified higher power provided Doctor Strange with a small box that he felt he had to give to Spider - Man as a reward for his role in events . When Peter opened the box on the roof of his apartment building, it contained a note saying "You have five minutes . Spend them as you will", followed by Ben appearing on the roof . It was revealed that this Ben - whether a ghost or Ben having been temporally relocated from the moment before his death - remembered being out for the walk that resulted in him getting shot but nothing afterwards, although he concluded that the events leading to him being on that roof were not important . In their talk Ben said that the only thing that would disappoint him about Peter is if Peter ever settled for less because he was afraid of reaching for more . This helps Peter to see that he had a good life for all its hardships, recognizing that he has always used what he has, and Ben assures Peter that he is proud of him before he vanishes . </P>
