Learning he had gained great arachnid-like abilities, the timid teenager donned a colorful costume of his own design - seeking fame and fortune as the Amazing Spider-Man! But his Uncle Ben's death - a tragedy he could have prevented - taught Peter that with great power, there must also come great responsibility. And on that day, a legend was born!
