Trivia
- Ben's famous quote, "With great power, comes great responsibility," is actually never said in The Amazing Spider-Man. However, at one point, Ben angrily lectures Peter about how his father believed in principles and what good men should do; this is clearly supposed to mean the same thing. The phrase is later used in an alternate ending of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 by Richard Parker.
