“With great power comes great responsibility” — “Uncle” Ben Parker
Despite what we have read in the comics and seen in the movies, it wasn’t Spiderman’s uncle who first spoke these wise words. Credit for this quote has been given to Marvel Comics and Stan Lee himself. However, other historical figures of our past have used and said this quote in many different variations such as Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Francois-Marie.
I think myself that Roosevelt’s words were closest to the ones used in the Marvel movie. Roosevelt’s words were: “…that great power involves great responsibility…”
I love the character of Peter’s uncle! Great words from a loving and wise man.
What do the words mean to you, Emma? That’s the other part of the assignment…to explain what the quote means to YOU :- )
I really love this quote! Spider-man is one of my favorite super-heroes!
