The famous line, "With great power comes great responsibility," was not originally spoken by Uncle Ben in the comics. It first appeared in the narration of Amazing Fantasy #15, acting as a moral lesson to the reader. It has since become synonymous with Spider-Man's character, representing the core of his heroism.

The reason Spider-Man is spelled with a hyphen is because Spidey creator and all-round legend Stan Lee didn't want people to get confused with Superman.

Miles Morales (Ultimate Universe) is the dynamic successor to Peter Parker as Spider-Man and first appeared in issue 4 of Ultimate Fallout in 2011.

The Ultimate Spider-Man is now part of the Marvel Universe (the regular 616 universe) since the multiverse shattering event Secret Wars. Molecule Man recreated the entire 616 Marvel Universe with Miles Morales Spider-Man and his immediate family.

Miles Morales has different powers than Peter Parker. He has the ability to activate a camouflage that would hide his presence from enemies, enhanced spider-sense and bioelectric charges he calls “venom blasts.”

Unlike the traditional Spidey suit, Miles’ costume was not homemade like Peter Parker's iconic red and blue suit. Instead was given to him by S.H.I.E.L.D.
