In the comic books, the death of Uncle Ben weighed heavily on Spider-Man and contributed to his character development.
Despite the character’s importance in Spider-Man’s life, Uncle Ben is noticeably absent in Spider-Man: Homecoming.

In Spider-Man comics and movies, a character who has been a consistent source of inspiration for Peter Parker is Uncle Ben, who delivers the famous line: “With great power comes great responsibility.”
