According to the Web-Slinger, his Uncle Ben was the last sheriff to face Ock, but was unable to stop him. Ben was never seen again and his disappearance encouraged his nephew to become a hero.

Return to the Spider-Verse: Part 2[]
When Spider-Man and Kid Arachnid were sent to recover the shards of the destroyed Siege Perilous, they enter into the Vampire Universe, the Pirate Universe before heading to the Wild West Universe. When meeting Web-Slinger, Doc Ock Holiday demands they hand him over or take it up with his "deputy". However, Web-Slinger orders the two to flee which has the "Phantom Rider" chase after them. Web-Slinger tries to shoot webs at him but misses. Spider-Man points out that there's three of them and that they can take him but Web-Slinger points out that nobody's ever stopped the "Phantom Rider" and they must flee into the desert. Kid Arachnid asks what he did and Web-Slinger reveals how Doc Ock Holiday came to rule the town. Spider-Man decides to stand up to him but Web-Slinger points out that with "Phantom Rider" by his side, he is untouchable. Kid Arachnid believes that they lost him before "Phantom Rider" appears having taken a short cut. Spider-Man tries to intercept him but the Phantom Rider intercepts him. Web-Slinger takes him on but "Phantom Rider" brings him down with Web-Slinger asking if they can talk things through. However, Kid Arachnid tackles "Phantom Rider" which gives Web-Slinger the opportunity to flee. Kid Arachnid tries to use his venom blast on him but it doesn't work much to his shock and "Phantom Rider" takes him down. However, Kid Arachnid finds their shards glowing much to his confusion. Spider-Man tries to kick "Phantom Rider" but he is thrown into a building which he and Kid Arachnid try to stop from crumbling but are knocked out by "Phantom Rider" and placed in jail. Doc Ock Holiday removes their Web-Shooters and places them in an electrified cell of his design. He taunts them about his invention, that they don't get to be sheriff by being no fool and that he can't say the same thing about who they were supposed to be which he thinks that they are circus performers. The Spiders know that he'll gloat and Doc Ock Holiday reveals that the call wasn't his only invention and that he has yet to unveil the fruits of his newest experiments. However, he hears a blast which annoys him and orders the two Spiders to stay put before he and "Phantom Rider" leave to see what it was. However, this is a distraction from Web-Slinger to free Spider-Man and Kid Arachnid until Doc Ock Holiday and "Phantom Rider" return to confront them. Doc Ock Holiday reveals that he knows what they came for and reveals the shard of the Siege Perilous. He reveals that they weren't the only ones that came for it because a masked man named Wolf Spider came not too long ago but he ran him out of town but he will destroy them and unveils his a pack with four arms with guns attached. This makes Web-Slinger regret breaking them out and Spider-Man agrees with him. Doc Ock Holiday fires at them and manages to injure his shooting hand and Web-Slinger decides to flee. Spider-Man asks him if running away was what his uncle would want him to do but Web-Slinger continues to flee. Doc Ock Holiday calls him out for his cowardice and demands him to face him. Kid Arachnid kicks him into the saloon before helping Spider-Man fight and defeat "Phantom Rider". Spider-Man pins Doc Ock Holiday and tries to make him see that the shard is important and that reality will destroy itself but Doc Ock Holiday kicks him away. Doc Ock Holiday reveals that he will maximize the shard and prepares to shoot Spider-Man but Web-Slinger returns and prevents him. Kid Arachnid reveals that he thought he left until Web-Slinger reveals that Spider-Man was right about his uncle wanting him to continue fighting. Doc Ock Holiday just sees this as another spider to squash but Web-Slinger calls him out on not doing the right things around the town before challenging him to a showdown. He offers that if he wins: the strangers go and he frees the town. Doc Ock Holiday asks him if he wins and Web-Slinger offers: that all their fates are in his hands. However, Doc Ock Holiday tauntingly points out his damaged hand which will never help him win until Spider-Man offers to face him. Doc Ock Holiday asks why he would face him when he has him at his mercy. Spider-Man calls him a coward before revealing that he has a Doctor Octopus of his own who would never back down from a challenge and guesses that he's made of sterner stuff. This causes Doc Ock Holiday to feel insulted and accepts the challenge. The two face off with Doc Ock Holiday shooting at him but misses when Spider-Man uses his web to remove the shard from his pack and give it to Kid Arachnid. This causes the shard's power to free "Phantom Rider" from mind control and reveal himself as Ben Parker much to Web-Slinger's surprise. Ben apologizes for his unwilling actions due to Doc Ock Holiday using the shard to enslave his mind. Doc Ock Holiday tries to flee but is hogtied by Spider-Man who returns Ben’s badge to him. The sheriff again, Ben has Ock placed in jail. Ock yells words of revenge until Web Slinger web shoots his mouth and Ock electrocutes himself on the bars. Ben states the villain will most likely do a long sentence in jail. He thanks them for everything with Spider-Man revealing that any Spider would've done the same thing. Web-Slinger tells them to act like it was nothing and thanks them for getting his uncle back and Kid Arachnid reasons that he wasn't bad himself. Web-Slinger apologizes for being a coward and having strangers fight for the town instead of himself but Ben forgives him and reasons that his return is what counts. He reveals that he reckons true bravery is what fixed his mistakes and that he is proud of him much to Web-Slinger's happiness. Before leaving for the next universe, Spider-Man takes one last look at Ben and Web-Slinger, amazed at there being a universe where an Uncle Ben survived.
