An Uncle Ben Question

[Travis Herrick (Modular Mod)]

I recently read the first trade of Friendly Neighborhood Spider-man by Peter David & Mike Wieringo (Thank you Lone Star Comics).During the last story arc there was an Uncle Ben from another timeline introduced. In his time Aunt May died and he had lived, well when he was about to be taken back to his own timeline he shoots and kills a Spider-man from some timeline, so he can stay.

My question: what happened to this Uncle Ben? Does anyone know?

Oh yeah it was a fun trade. I liked the burgeoning relationship between Aunt May and Jarvis.

I don't know the answer to your question but I liked this TPB very much too.

I'm amazed that this living Uncle Ben hasn't been mentioned more before now. One of the reasons they amalgamated all the Spider-man titles was that no-one read the other ones and even if they did, didn't acord the stories in them much importance. The JMS-era Spider-man stories of Peter David and 'that other guy whose name escapes me now'* probably should have got more respect. PAd's stories here were a lot of fun.

i'm sure that was one of the plotpoints swept away by "Brand New Day" like Aunt May's romance with Jarvis and Gwen Stacy's look-alike daughter by Norman Osborn. *shudder*

You'd think so wouldn't you?

Yeah that is what I was initially thinking, but I was curious if anyone knew for certain what happened.
