Spidey’s parents and his uncle who helped raise him are all dead/murdered. All three are orphans, so that all cancels out. :-).

Peter Parker only became spider-man once his uncle was killed, that set him on the path to use his “great power” with “great responsibility.”

    Spider-man literally started as a pro wrestler who used his powers and a costume to make money

    He was costumed and super-powered first, but heroic only after his uncle was killed. (By a thief whom Spidey let get away, since the victim was the wrestling promoter who cheated him out of his first earnings.)
