00:00In this video, we will dive into the story of the amazing Spider-Man, where what if May Parker had died, instead of Uncle Ben.

00:08This story takes place on Earth, 52136, where Peter Parker's life takes a different turn after the death of his Aunt May.

00:16On this Earth, not only was Peter out of the house, but so was Ben Parker.

00:21Ben was returning home from the store when he noticed his police and medical personnel outside his home.

00:27He sees May's body being carried out of the house.

00:30Helpless to help, a police officer holds him back and tells him what happened.

00:35Peter returns home devastated.

00:37After the police leave, he can no longer hide his secret.

00:41In a moment of grief, he reveals to Uncle Ben that he is Spider-Man.

00:45Consumed by anger, Peter hunts down the burglar.

00:49He finds him hiding in a warehouse and attacks.

00:52Filled with rage towards the man who took away the woman who helped raise him,

00:56Spider-Man punches the burglar through a window and seemingly dies.

01:01When Uncle Ben arrives at the scene, he makes a shocking choice.

01:05To protect Peter, Ben takes the blame for the death.

01:08He lies to the authorities and is arrested.

01:11His sacrifice leaves Peter completely alone, still just a teenager.

01:16Peter is left with no one to turn to.

01:18With Uncle Ben in prison and Aunt May gone, he becomes a ward of the state, moving between foster families.

01:24He reacts badly to the situation, rebelling and pushing people away.

01:30The weight of guilt becomes too heavy.

01:32Peter abandons his life as Spider-Man, refusing to wear the mask again.

01:37But that decision doesn't erase the consequences.

01:39It only creates more pain.

01:41When astronaut John Jameson dies in a shuttle accident, Peter is haunted by the thought that Spider-Man could have made a difference.

01:50J. Jonah Jameson lashes out in grief, publishing scathing editorials that paint Spider-Man as a menace.

01:57These words eat away at Peter until he finally snaps.

02:00In a fit of rage, Spider-Man breaks into the Daily Bugle.

02:04He storms Jonah's office and, in his fury, threatens to drop him out a window if he doesn't stop writing about him.

02:12Peter spares him, but the damage is done.

02:14This darker side of Spider-Man has emerged and will only get worse.

02:19Peter's anger issues land him in the Ditko Juvenile Detention Center.

02:23There, he crosses paths with old faces, Harry Osborn and Flash Thompson.

02:30Harry is eventually released, but Flash stays behind and takes every chance to bully Peter.

02:35The constant torment drives Peter over the edge.

02:38Using his powers, he breaks out attention and escapes.

02:42Now on the run, Peter lives on the streets.

02:46He hides in abandoned buildings, stealing food and supplies at night.

02:49Survival turns him into something closer to an outlaw than a hero.

02:54To make money, he begins confronting villains and turning them in for reward bounties.

03:00Spider-Man becomes less of a friendly neighborhood hero and more of a desperate vigilante.

03:05Eventually, Peter comes face to face with the Green Goblin.

03:09Their fight is brutal and destructive.

03:11The Goblin kills innocent bystanders needlessly and Peter loses control.

03:16In a fit of rage, he viciously attacks the Goblin, unleashing all of his anger and guilt.

03:22When the battle ends, the Green Goblin is left in a coma.

03:26Horrified at what he's done, Peter flees, believing that he has accidentally killed another person.

03:32The weight of his choices crushes him.

03:34In his despair, Peter decides to free Uncle Ben from prison,

03:39convinced that together they could make things right.

03:41But when he approaches him, Ben refuses.

03:43Instead, Ben delivers the same timeless lesson Peter needed to hear.

03:49With great power comes great responsibility.

03:52He reminds Peter that no matter how much guilt he carries,

03:55he cannot change the past, only the future.

03:58Ben tells him that Mrs. Watson is willing to care for him until he is released,

04:02and urges Peter to honor Aunt May's memory by living a better life.

04:07This becomes a turning point in Peter's journey.

04:10Peter takes Ben's words to heart.

04:11He moves in with the Watson family, who welcome him with kindness.

04:16Slowly, he starts to rebuild his life.

04:19He finishes high school and graduates with honors.

04:22He earns a science scholarship to Empire State University,

04:26where he begins a relationship with Mary Jane Watson,

04:29though he still carries the scars of his past.

04:32Peter learns to balance responsibility with hope.

04:35He no longer wears a mask recklessly.

04:37He chooses instead to focus on building a future.

04:40Years later, Uncle Ben finally earns his parole.

04:44Once released, he reunites with Peter.

04:47But in this universe, his role is different.

04:50Instead of being the man whose death inspires Spider-Man,

04:53Uncle Ben becomes his partner.

04:55Together, they fight crime side by side,

04:59with May's memory and Ben's wisdom guiding Peter on a new path.

05:02This alternate Spider-Man story shows just how fragile Peter Parker's destiny really is.

05:08A single change, the death of Aunt May instead of Uncle Ben,

05:11creates a darker, more painful path,

05:14but one that still leads back to responsibility, redemption, and heroism.
