!!!''Amazing Spider-Man: Family Business''
* The story begins as Peter comes home to his apartment only to be attacked by armed thugs. A mysterious woman saves him and they escaped; who is this person? [[spoiler: His long-lost younger sister, Teresa Parker.]] The story follows them on a world spanning adventure as they trace their parents' footsteps who were CIA agents. Though at first skeptical, Peter quickly warms to the idea of a newfound sibling and even shares his identity as Spider-Man with her, even battling against Wilson Fisk. [[spoiler: sadly Fisk reveals that he had faked their relationship for his own ends and Teresa suffers memory loss related to the Parker including Peter's secret. None the less, they part on good terms...and then the last scene of the comic shows a college of their parents running a DNA test. Needless to say the his reaction implies that Fisks might have been lying.]]

->''Spider-Man is'' the ''biggest Marvel character; he is the jewel in the crown. Such an amazing icon, he is a very different type of hero because he is, quite simply, the greatest super hero of all time.''

* In the ''Big Time'' arc, May has used her new poltitical connections to get Peter his dream job at Horizon Labs. As Peter walks towards the door, a panel from ''Amazing #1'' appears (where the recently-widowed May tells him to continue his studies so he could become a scientist). She then looks towards the sky and says, "He did it, Ben."

* In the weirdest example of this considering the character, ''Carnage'' provides a slight example simply because the symbiote will stop at ''nothing'' to keep Cletus safe in defiance of whatever advantages a different host would have over him. At one point, It seems like Carnage has hit the top, after taking over Silver Surfer, the herald of the creature that instills fear in it's entire race on a genetic level. However, after learning that it's first host is on the verge of death due to a mixture of health complications and the sheer amount of time since they were separated, the symbiote scarcely thinks twice about abandoning the Surfer and all the power that would entail in favor of reuniting with Cletus.

* Amazing Spider-Man (1999) #38: For such a quiet issue, it's a rollercoaster of emotions. To wit: Aunt May has finally figured out that Peter Parker is Spider-Man and dropped by his apartment to have a serious talk with him about it. She is still noticeably rattled with the revelation, but she keeps herself strong as she manages to make Peter come clean about his double life. There's a TearJerker moment when Peter tells her that it's because of him that Uncle Ben died, and then May takes the blame for herself because Ben had only gone out to have his fateful meeting with the burglar because they had an argument and he wanted to go for a walk to let things cool off. There's a CrowningMomentOfFunny when May says that she figured Peter was hiding something, but the way he hid it made her think he was gay. And the end result falls under here because Peter is finally able to purge his ghosts with someone he can trust, and while not liking the idea of her surrogate son going out to put his life on the line every night, May still tries to take it as well as she can, for the love she has for her nephew.
-->'''Peter:''' ''(narrating)'' For all the years I wore ''[the Spider-Man costume]'', I always felt as if I was hiding more than my name. I was hiding who I was. Hiding from the world. From myself. And from her. For the first time, as I put it on, I feel not confined, but free. She has given me that freedom. And I know it cost her. However much she put on a brave face... I know this must have cost her terribly. And I'll make that up to her, somehow. Because May is right. Out great power, and our great responsibility, is to one another. And I won't lie to her again. I won't let her down. Ever.

* The ending of ''ComicBook/SpidermanBlue'' in which Peter discovers MJ has been listening to his message to Gwen, [[spoiler: and instead of getting angry at her husband like he fears, she merely asks that he say hi to Gwen for her. An amazing case of proving Mary-Jane understands that despite how much she and Peter love each other, she will never take Gwen's place, and vice-versa, and a beautiful reminder that MJ loved Gwen too, and that she still deeply misses her friend.]]

When Pete finally gets Johnny to stop fighting, he shows him the building's lobby, which has a huge statue of the Fantastic Four and family - a way for people to know that the Baxter Building will ''always'' be home to the Fantastic Four. Turns out Peter bought the place because a bunch of other companies were trying to buy it, and he ''outbid all of them'' in order to hold onto it until the Fantastic Four are back.

* Annual 18 of Amazing Spider Man has Mac Gargan, hell-bent on ruining Jonah's life again, break out of prison and become the Scorpion again to kidnap Dr. Marla Madison on their wedding day. Jonah is so terrified at their kidnapping that he gets a taxi and races to find Marla, eventually finding the Scorpion dragging her into an alley. Jonah pleads with the Scorpion, revealing he was the one that paid for Gargan's medical care, but the Scorpion jeers at him. Then, John Jameson, who angrily confronted his father over marrying Marla, overhears Jonah pleading for Marla to run so Mac Gargan can kill him instead. Realizing how strong their love is, Jonah's son rushes in to fight, but Gargan sends him sprawling with his tail blast. The Scorpion then offers Jonah a SadisticChoice: should he spare Marla or John from Gargan's wrath? What follows truly shows that, despite [[ItsAllAboutMe how highly Jonah thinks of himself]] and [[HeroWithBadPublicity his ongoing mission to ruin Spidey's career]], Jonah Jameson is still a good man.
-->'''Jonah:''' (gesturing to himself) Me! Take me! I'm the one you want. Marla and my son have done nothing to you--nothing. Let them go--don't hurt them. Just take me.

* Issue #186. After being hounded by the police for months for crimes he didn't do and shunned by New Yorkers thanks to Jameson's claims, Spidey is ''finally'' found innocent of causing Captain Stacy's death. Even better, many New Yorkers interviewed are actually happy that Spidey got his due. Of course, the guy still has to deal with insane press conferences, but it's nice to see things look up for Spidey for once.

* Issue #181 of Amazing Spider-Man has Spidey visiting Ben's grave, as well as May later on (with Spidey observing her from the trees). Although it's mostly a recap on Spidey's life and the people around him, the ending is incredibly sweet. Spidey leaves the microscope Ben bought for him during his high school days as a gift of remembrance, wrapped in web, thanking his uncle for giving him the strength to continue fighting crime. Then, as Spidey swings off into the night, the caretaker arrives to work the graveyard shift. The caretaker laments that he is working while he should be at home with his son, Tommy, celebrating his birthday. Tommy is gifted, but is picked on by everyone else because he doesn't fight. The caretaker also wishes that he could afford to give a truly meaningful present to Tommy this year. Then, the caretaker stumbles upon the microscope, and joyfully takes it home as a birthday present to his son.
