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.)
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.”
I strongly suspect Peter would have eventually become a superhero even without the death of his uncle.

True, true. I guess I was thinking of the spider bite, not the trauma.
