cartoon episode - "Spider Wars, Chapter II: Farewell Spider-Man") -
When the Spider-Carnage of Earth-98311 transported to Earth-31198 and
kidnapped that reality's Gwen Stacy in a second attempt to detonate a
bomb that would destroy the Multiverse, Spider-Man of Earth-92131 was
sent there to stop Spider-Carnage and deduced that rather than trying
to defeat Spider-Carnage, he should try to understand him. Figuring
that Spider-Carnage might merely be confused, Spider-Man-92131
monologued that there was only one person who could help Spider-Carnage
remember right from wrong and he swung off to find Earth-31198's living
Ben Parker, thinking that Earth-31198 might be the only place where Ben
might still be found. A short time later, after recruiting Ben Parker
to assist against Spider-Carnage, Spider-Man-92131 confronted
Spider-Carnage, who threatened to drop Gwen from a rooftop as he opened
a portal that threatened to suck in and destroy all of Earth-31198.
Reaching out to Spider-Carnage's Peter Parker side, Spider-Man
exclaimed that if he couldn't reach the Peter inside Spider-Carnage, he
had brought along someone who could. Earth-31198's Ben Parker then
walked out from the shadows, surprising the emotional
Spider-Carnage, who had lost his reality's Uncle Ben much like the
Peter Parkers of other realities. Explaining that Spider-Man-92131 had
told him everything, Ben assured Spider-Carnage that while he knew
Spider-Carnage had a really bad time, he was there for him in that
reality and no matter what, he loved Peter. When Ben then asked if
Spider-Carnage remembered what he had told him about great power, the
crying Spider-Carnage recited Ben's quote of "with great power comes
great responsibility" and Ben explained that Spider-Carnage had a great
power and that it was his responsibility to the world to rid himself of
the symbiote. Spider-Carnage then attempted to rid himself of the
Carnage symbiote but it refused to leave Spider-Carnage's body, causing
Spider-Carnage intense pain. Ben exclaimed for Spider-Carnage to fight
the symbiote with all his heart and soul but the alien symbiote proved
too strong for Spider-Carnage to expel. Begging forgiveness,
Spider-Carnage dissipated the portal and instead used the portal device
to create a smaller portal, which he then jumped into, vaporizing
himself. A saddened Ben Parker then admitted that he thought
Earth-98311's Peter Parker had done what he thought was best for
himself and the entire world. He then hugged Spider-Man-92131, telling
him that he had done well against Spider-Carnage and assuring
Spider-Man-92131 that he was proud of him. Ben then admitted he would
miss Earth-92131's Peter Parker and Spider-Man replied that he would
also miss Ben, remarking with a few tears that Ben would always be in
his heart.
Comments: Created by John Semper and Marvel Films Animation (see Appearances list for list of artists involved).
This reality's Ben Parker presumably had the same
physical stats as his Earth-616 counterpart. May Parker was not shown
on Earth-31198 so it was unrevealed if Ben was married to May on
Earth-31198. It's same to assume that his nephew was still Peter, given
that Ben recalled having told Peter "with great power comes great
responsibility."
