Why did Spider

This is the underlying moral of the 50th Anniversary storyline, "Alpha": a ordinary teenager is given incredible powers by an accident caused by a disgruntled worker. Peter, as himself and Spidey, attempts to reel him in, but his ego gets the better of him, turning him into a celebrity who'd willingly cheat on the girl he was crushing on and deciding to emancipate himself from his parents after the Jackal kidnaps them in a plot, not to save them, but because they were cramping his style. Spidey pulls the plug on Alpha's fun once and for all after a fight with Terminus nearly causes hundreds of deaths when his powers short circuit airplanes all over New York, two of those near-victims being Aunt May and her husband, Jay Jameson (JJJ's dad).

It's also the underlying moral of the Superior Spider-Man storyline: Doc Ock takes over Peter's body before his gives out and decides he can be a better Spidey than Peter ever was. While he creates his own company, gets his degree and creates an army to protect New York City with, it ends up alienating him from virtually everyone because of his massive ego. When the Goblin King brings everything down around his ears, Otto's forced to accept that Peter was the better Spidey because he allowed himself to have those chances to be better slip away because he felt he didn't deserve them.

This is turned on its head in Nick Spencer's first issue of Amazing Spider-Man as a Take That! towards everything after that — Peter is exposed as a plagiarist when it's revealed that a paper Otto wrote to get his diploma in Empire State University was similar to what Otto actually wrote (in Superior, a man caught note of what "Peter" had done, but Otto stops him by using one of his old devices to pretend Otto had convinced him to accept it). After he's fired from the Daily Bugle, laughed at by Mary Jane and brushed off by Aunt May, Peter comes to realize that he screwed up big time — he should have dumped everything Otto had built up (he even admits the paper Otto wrote was on a subject he knew about just as well) and by taking in everything Otto built, he wasn't taking responsibility for it.

Then it's subverted in the Secret Wars (2015) story The Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows as Peter gives up being Spider-Man to protect MJ and their daughter Annie, making him the last superhero alive in a world ruled by the mysterious Regent. Even more, he goes so far as to ignore cries for help just to deal with his kid.

Referenced and Played for Laughs in an issue of Spider-Girl:

May Parker: But daddy, it's my responsibility...
Peter: Don't give me the responsibility shtick, young lady. I invented the responsibility shtick!

Gert has her own opinion of the motto in Runaways.

Victor: But... but I have powers! And in that book Webs, your photographer friend said your motto is, "With great power, there must also come great responsibility!"
Gert: Really? That's inane. Most people in life don't have great power, and the few that do are almost never responsible with it. The people who have the greatest responsibility are the kids with no power because we're the ones who have to keep everybody else in check.
Spider-Man: Wow. You are totally going to be an Avenger when you grow up.

Parodied in the 2018 relaunch of Fantastic Four. Spidey attempts to psyche up Franklin Richards, who is afraid his power isn't enough to stop the Big Bad of the storyline, using his motto, but the Thing, annoyed Spidey's going this route, grabs him by the back of his shirt, lifts him aside, and psyches up his godchild his own way.

Deconstructed in the storyline Hunted as Curt Conners tells him that while Spidey does understand the idea of that, he doesn't understand it from the eyes of a parent, which is why he's willing to let loose the Lizard to save his son.

Spider-Man Noir has its own turn on the concept with a lesson Peter learned from his Uncle Ben, who was a pilot in WWI:

If those in power cannot be trusted, it is the responsibility of the people to remove them.

Nick Spencer’s run deconstructed this, pointing out that for all his talk, Spidey’s never really been responsible at all.

Subverted in Edge of Spider-Verse (2022) by Night-Spider, the Felicia Hardy of Earth-194, whose version apparently goes, "With great power comes no accountability. You can go anywhere and take anything". She does only take from the rich, but still.

Films

Spider-Man Trilogy: Aside from the first film having the words said as in the comic book, Spider-Man 2 has Otto Octavius telling Peter that "Intelligence is not a privilege; it's a gift. And you use it for the good of mankind." In the climax, Peter echoes these words to him to Talk The Monster To Death.
The Amazing Spider-Man Series
- The Amazing Spider-Man Somewhat deconstructed:
  Uncle Ben: You're a lot like your father. You really are, Peter, and that's a good thing. But your father lived by a philosophy, a principle really. He believed that... that if you could do good things for other people, you had a moral obligation to do those things. That's what at stake here. Not a choice, responsibility.
  Peter: That is nice. That's really... that's great. That's all well and good, so where is he?
  Uncle Ben: What?
  Peter: Where is he? Where's my dad? He didn't think it was his responsibility to be here and tell me this himself?
  Uncle Ben: Oh, come on! How dare you?
  Peter: How dare I? How dare you?!
  - This theme is explored in the parallel between Spidey and the Lizard. Both believe in this, but they disagree on what their responsibility is. Peter believes that his responsibility is to help other people and to take care of Aunt May. Connors believes that his responsibility is to give everyone else his powers.
- More explored in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, where Max uses all of his power as Electro to try to make everyone else feel as powerless as he once felt before getting his powers. Harry Osborn also refuses to accept any responsibility for his actions or for his condition. In reality, there is no one to blame for Harry's disease, but Harry blames Spider-Man and Menken for his crappy life, especially after he becomes the Goblin. Specifically, Menken had in fact framed Harry for Electro's creation so he can take over Oscorp, which still isn't a good way to handle responsibility of running a company, but Spider-Man's case, his apparent refusal to help him was only using his own responsibility to protect his friends and family, including Harry. Who still becomes the Green Goblin and decides to kill Gwen in retaliation. By the end, seems Harry now plans to use his power to create the future that Oscorp envisioned, starting with forming the Sinister Six.
Marvel Cinematic Universe
- In Captain America: Civil War, Peter Parker essentially condenses this trope and his origin story to one simple phrase:
  "When you can do the things that I can, but you don't... and then the bad things happen, they happen because of you."
- This is a main theme in Spider-Man: Homecoming: after Peter nearly gets an entire ferry filled with people killed, Tony Stark reads him the riot act and demands his suit back. When Peter claims that he's nothing without the suit, Tony tells him that if he needs the suit to be a hero and a better person, then he shouldn't have it to begin with.
- Spider-Man: Far From Home revisits the idea as Peter finds himself being thrust into the spotlight as Tony Stark's successor. Feeling that the responsibility is too great for him to wield the power of EDITH, Tony's posthumous gift to him, Peter relinquishes it to Quentin Beck. Unfortunately, Beck proceeds to use that power to endanger the lives of everyone in London (including his classmates), forcing Peter to take responsibility for Beck misusing such power.
- In Spider-Man: No Way Home, the original line is finally spoken verbatim within the MCU, this time, by Aunt May instead of Uncle Ben. After Peter defies Strange's order to send the displaced villains back to their own home, in favor of curing them and hopefully averting their fates, Norman Osborn's Green Goblin persona re-emerges and convinces the villains to escape. In the ensuing fight, Peter and May get caught in a pumpkin bomb explosion. When Peter begins to regret his earlier decision, saying that it "wasn't his responsibility", May tells him that "with great power, there must also come great responsibility" before she ultimately succumbs to her wounds and dies. Her words resonate later in the film, when the Raimi-Verse Spider-Man convinces MCU Peter to not murder Osborn in revenge.
In Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, we first hear the phrase from the opening sequence with 1610!Peter (with archival recording from the late Cliff Robertson, who played Uncle Ben in the first two Raimi movies) as he's showing how the decade of his career started and how it's gone. Later in the movie as Miles is talking with Peter B., he tries to get him to help by starting the iconic speech, but Peter B. shuts him up, saying that he is sick of those words.
Miles: With great power comes great-
Peter B.: Don't you dare finish that sentence! Don't do it! I am sick of it.
- Early on, as Miles' father Jefferson discusses his dislike of Spider-Man, he misquotes it as "With great ability comes great accountability". Miles immediately retorts that that's not how the line goes, but Jefferson ignores him.

Video Games

That phrase, Spider-Man's trademark, is parodied in Marvel Ultimate Alliance in a conversation with Spider-Man:
"With great power comes—"
"Don't you dare finish that line, or you'll have so much webbing in your hair you'd have to shave yourself bald."
- Played straight with the actual character in-game, however, where he has the passive "Great Responsibility," which gives him a chance to protect an ally from an enemy attack. If he does, it switches to "Great Power," which increases his damage. Once he attacks, it changes back to "Great Responsibility."
In Spider-Man: Edge of Time the Alchemax CEO, an evil 2099 version of Peter Parker, has his own twisted version after falling to despair over losing everything he loved.
"With great power comes great responsibility, and great opportunity. And the only way to live up to all that responsibility, is to use every opportunity to get all the power."
Naturally this comes up in Spider-Man (PS4), but with a cruel subversion at the end of the game; it's a mentally corrupted and freshly-defeated Otto Octavius, having gone mad with vengeance and infected Manhattan with a deadly bioweapon, declaring that he and Peter Parker have a responsibility to do what's best for people in an attempt to get Peter to help him. At first Otto seems to be describing this very trope, but he perverts the very concept right after by proclaiming it's to do it for "those beneath us, whether they understand it or not." Peter, already beside himself in grief over his father-figure and mentor in this continuity becoming such a twisted man, immediately flips his lid.
- While the concept is never specifically stated in the ending of Spider-Man PS4, the sentiment is there when Peter chooses to sacrifice the life of Aunt May, so that the anti-serum can be mass produced for the civilians afflicted by the toxin Octavius released. Peter desperately wants to do what's right for Aunt May, but he realizes he can't do that because it would come at the expense of others. The responsible thing to do is obviously to surrender the anti-serum so it can be researched and countless lives will be saved, even though it hurts like hell to let Aunt May — the closest thing he has to a mother — die such in such a terrible way.
