      Nope, Ben is Pete’s dad’s brother, but May married in, so no blood relation.

      Poor lady married this nice guy who got randomly offed for no reason and got saddled with his brother’s son because fate hates that branch of the family and Pete’s parents were already dead with no suriviving grandparents.

      Once you get to a certain age, Spider-Man is less a fun coming of age thing about a special orphan boy and more the gritty story of some single adopted mom with a serious heart condition who REALLY doesn’t get enough recognition for her efforts.
