Spider-Man Quote Was a Caption

When Spider-Man first appeared in Amazing Fantasy #15 in 1962, the line “with great power there must also come great responsibility” did not come from Uncle Ben in dialogue. Instead, it appeared as a narrative caption at the end of the story, framing Peter Parker’s lesson after Ben’s death. Later adaptations, especially films and television, reassigned the quote to Uncle Ben and made it one of his defining lines.
