History

A one-time high school "science geek", Peter was the subject of much ridicule, especially at the hands of Flash Thompson. After his parents died in a plane crash, Peter lived with his Uncle Ben and Aunt May, who doted and worried endlessly about the reclusive boy suddenly placed in their midst.

During a class field trip to see radioactivity carried on by Professor Farley Stillwell, a spider crawled into Stillwell's machine and became irradiated, biting Peter in the hand and granting him the proportionate abilities of a spider, including superhuman strength, agility, speed, and a "Spider Sense" that warned him of imminent danger.

Peter initially became Spider-Man for personal reasons, seeking the popularity he never had at school. Constructing mechanical web-shooters in his bedroom, Parker set out to make a name for himself in show-business, making television appearances and starting a brief career as a professional wrestler.

It was after one such wrestling ingagement that Peter's life changed for the worst: fame went to the idealistic Parker's head, and he refused to stop an escaping criminal, considering it "none of his business". A short time later, Parker returned home to find that his Uncle Ben had been shot dead by a burglar, who had then escaped to an abandoned waterfront warehouse. Following the murderer, Parker was shocked and ashamed to discover that his uncle's death had been his fault: his uncle's killer was the same man that Peter had let escape earlier in the day.

Devastated by his own actions, Peter Parker turned Spider-Man into a force for good, promising to protect the city and its occupants. In his civilian life, Peter got a job as a photographer at the Daily Bugle, working for J. Jonah Jameson (a man who passionately despised Spider-Man), and attending Empire State University as a colledge student.

Over the years, Spider-Man gathered an impressive gallery of villains, including such notables as the Kingpin, Mysterio, Doctor Octopus, and the ever-predictable alien symbiote known as "Venom". Several villains discovered Spider-Man's civilain identity, either by accident or via prior knowledge. The Venom Symbiote originally tried to bond with Spider-Man, and already knew of his secret identity by the time it found Eddie Brock. The first Green Goblin followed him long enough to see Peter take off his mask in an alley. And the second Goblin had gotten this knowledge from the first through a spiritual link after the first got into a dimensional portal after a battle with Spider-Man, but twice, did the second Goblin gain and lost this knowledge through amnesia.

Peter later discovered that his parents were, in fact, spies for the American government, but were branded as traitors during World War II with Russia against America. Peter would also married his long-time, on-and-off love, Mary Jane Watson (or at least a clone of the woman, unbeknownst to him until minutes before her death), and briefly dated the real Mary Jane before she disappeared into limbo during a pitched battle against the Green Goblin.

Peter was chosen by Madame Webb and the Beyonder to prevent the creature known as Spider-Carnage from destroying all reality, who was living in a different reality opposite from Peter's, leading a whole group of other Spider-Men from different realities to go against Spider-Carnage, including the Scarlet Spider, who was Spider-Carnage's enemy. In defeating Spider-Carnage using the Uncle Ben who was alive in another reality that Peter and Spider-Carnage went into (it belonged to one of the Spider-Men who was rich and had his identity public), Madame Webb fulfilled her promise to help Spider-Man find the real Mary Jane.
