<P> The thematic and often - quoted (including by the Supreme Court of the United States) Spider - Man phrase with great power comes great responsibility is widely attributed to Uncle Ben . However, in Amazing Fantasy #15, where it first appears, it is not spoken by any character . In fact, Ben has only two lines in the entire comic . The original version of the phrase appears in a narrative caption of the comic's last panel, rather than as spoken dialogue . It reads, "...with great power there must also come--great responsibility!". </P> <P> However, later stories and flashbacks that took place when Ben was still alive retroactively made the phrase one of Ben's many homilies he would lecture Peter with . Latter - day reinterpretations of Spider - Man, such as the Spider - Man film and the Ultimate Spider - Man comic, depict Ben as saying this phrase to Peter while he is still alive, in their last conversation . Both the aforementioned adaptations also had Peter lash out at Ben just after he says it, and both also mention his father . </P> <P> The origins of the phrase pre-date its use in Spider - Man . In 1906, Under - Secretary of the Colonial Office Winston Churchill said, "Where there is great power there is great responsibility" In 1817, member of British parliament William Lamb is recorded saying, "the possession of great power necessarily implies great responsibility," even indicating that it was already a cultural maxim invoked toward government at the time . The sentiment is also attributed to Jesus of Nazareth in the Gospel of Luke, "Everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required ." </P> <Ul> <Li> Uncle Ben appeared in the 1960s Spider - Man television series .

In the series finale when Spider - Man had to stop Spider - Carnage from destroying all reality, Spider - Man managed to make contact with an alternate reality of his uncle in a world where Peter Parker was a successful industrialist; realizing that Peter's counterpart in this reality had never failed or had any difficulties in life due to his casual attitude towards the crisis as opposed to Spider - Man or the other counterparts, Peter realized that Ben was almost certainly still alive in this reality if he was alive in any alternate timeline . Thanks to Ben's influence, Spider - Carnage was convinced to stop trying to destroy reality . After Spider - Carnage instead used the reality bomb to create a portal and subsequently committed suicide by entering the portal to end the threat once and for all, Spider - Man and Ben hugged; although they lived in different realities, Ben was proud of his different reality nephew while Spider - Man assured Ben that he will always have him in his own heart . </Li> <Li> In Spider - Man Unlimited, Uncle Ben is briefly mentioned in the pilot episode "Worlds Apart" (Part One).
