Homeless Ben

Homeless Ben is a character in the Skinny-Webz series. He serves as a mentor of sorts to Wyatt, whom he affectionally refers to as "Skinny Boy". After Homeless Ben is killed by a nameless criminal, Wyatt steps up and becomes the hero known as "Skinny-Webz". He used Homeless Ben's words of wisdom, "Shatti Tatti my Brahti", in order to do so.

Wyatt carried Homeless Ben's wisdom with him even after his death, with his only company during his retreat to the Kava Desert being a mirage of Ben.

Skinny-Webz
Homeless Ben encounters Wyatt as he and his friends Barry and Claire exit a screening of The Amazing Spider-Man 2. He offers Wyatt some weed, which he simply calls "Responsibility". Wyatt accepts the weed before being pulled away by Claire. The three of them walk off. Homeless Ben excitedly shouts "Shatti Tatti my Brahti!" at them before riding off on a skateboard.

Later that night, Homeless Ben runs into Wyatt again outside of a bar. He walks up to Wyatt and laughs giddily before being stabbed by an unnamed criminal. Ben falls to the ground and starts spazzing. Wyatt runs to his aid after getting unstuck from a wall. As Ben lays dying, he attempts to get a sentence out. He utters "With great power comes great..." before exhaling one last time. Wyatt sobs uncontrollably.

When Wyatt, now "Skinny-Webz" attempts to pursue Gublin, he recalls Homeless Ben's words to muster up the strength to web himself up to the roof of a parking garage.

Skinny-Webz: Honey I'm Home
Shortly after Wyatt suits up as Skinny-Webz and gives chase to Gublin. Homeless Ben lets out a post-death scream, startling the nearby Quentin. Quentin walks over and sees the dead body of Homeless Ben. He searches the corpse for something but is clearly unable to find it, hitting the corpse in a fit of rage.

Two months later, Wyatt retreats to the Kava Desert and his only company is a mirage of Homeless Ben. This mirage of Ben attempts to motivate Wyatt into becoming Skinny-Webz once more and return to his friends. The mirage finally disappears when Wyatt's friend Barry arrives with news of Claire's kidnapping by Quentin, now "Mr. Eio".

After Wyatt, in his "Skinny-Webz" persona, ingests the Interdimensional Weed during his battle with Mr. Eio, he hallucinates Homeless Ben one last time. This hallucination of Ben reminds him of the words "Shatti Tatti my Brahti" and to say them loudly. Wyatt does so, and is able to defeat Mr. Eio.
