Uncle Ben's Secret Son Rocks Spider-Man Lore

Hold onto your web-shooters, because Marvel Comics just dropped a bombshell that redefines Spider-Man's entire history. Amazing Spider-Man #31 reveals Aunt May and Uncle Ben had a secret son, Cormac Crane, years before Peter Parker ever came into their lives. This isn't just a minor retcon; it's a foundational shake-up.

Cormac, previously unknown to everyone, including his own parents, seemingly, first surfaced when serial killer Torment psychically identified him as part of Spider-Man's family tree. Peter rescued Cormac, but the true shocker came when Aunt May finally shared 'The Talk,' spilling a secret she and Ben had kept hidden for decades.

The issue dives into a murky past, hinting at a trip to Ireland and a baby thought to have died after birth. The implications are staggering: Did Uncle Ben knowingly conceal Cormac's existence from May? Or were they both victims of a larger deception? What exactly was Ben's 'great responsibility' in this untold chapter? These questions are set to explode in the upcoming Amazing Spider-Man #1000, promising a seismic shift in Peter Parker's understanding of his origins.
