History

Peter Parker was an orphaned, young prodigy boy who lived with his aunt and uncle in Forest Hills, Queens.[1] Although an only child, Peter considered Eddie Brock, a boy whose parents died with Peter's in a plane crash[2], his older brother; Peter and Eddie, in fact, knew each other as "Bro." In nursery school, Peter met and became best friends with Eugene Thompson, whom he nicknamed Flash due to his tentancy to streak at the time.[3] Their relationship, however, turned sour by high school. Flash became M3 High's star quarterback, and Peter became his favorite bullying victim, unceremoniously nicknamed "Puny Parker." Fortunately, Eddie would always be there to defend Peter from him, at least until his graduation. By high school, Peter had made two new best friends: Gwen Stacy and Harry Osborn.

Towards the end of his Sophomore year, Peter's class took a field trip to Dr. Connors' lab at the Empire State University. There, he was bitten by a genetically enhanced spider, which had escaped from its container (much like what had happened to his Earth-96283 counterpart); the genetic code in the spider's venom rewrote Peter's DNA, giving him spider-related powers such as the relative strength, enhanced agility, and ability to stick to walls. Seeing potential in his powers, Peter developed wrist-mounted devices that shot a web-like fluid and designed a costume. Telling Uncle Ben he was studying at the library, Peter actually entered in a wrestling match, under the ring name of Spider-Man, for a prize of $1,000. Though he quickly beats the champion, Crusher Hogan, the manager, Sullivan Edwards, denied his prize money unless he signs to a contract. Angry about this condition, Peter let a burglar (later revealed to be Black Cat's father[4]) get away with Edwards' vault money, telling Edwards it's not his problem.

Peter ended up walking home, as Uncle Ben seemingly never came to give him a ride. But upon arriving home, Peter learned the awful truth from his heartbroken aunt that a burgalar had killed Ben for his car. When Peter caught the burgalar, he was shocked to discover it was the same one he'd stepped aside for earlier. While tempted to kill the burgalar as an act of vengance, he knew Uncle Ben wouldn't approve. So, he spared his life and left him for the cops to collect. Peter then turned his Spider-Man persona into a superhero, finally taking to heart the message Uncle Ben tried to tell him the last time they spoke: "With great power, there must also come great responsibility."[5]

The following summer vacation had been spent taking down crooks. But while this proved to be very easy, a mysterious crime lord code named "The Big Man" wanted him executed for foiling his operations, and he sent a special team called the Enforcers to do the dirty work. Meanwhile, Spider-Man found his start of Junior year occupied by fighting his first supervillain, The Vulture, off of Harry's dad, Norman. Peter, on the other hand, was struggling to help Aunt May pay off the accumulating bills. Peter and Gwen were offered internship's at Dr. Connors' lab where college freshman Eddie was interning, but when he learned high school interns didn't get paid, he sought a job at the Daily Bugle for money. Unfortunately, the Bugle's editor-in-chief, J. Jonah Jameson, shot down Peter's idea to sell him pictures of Spider-Man in action immediately and kicked him out of his office. However, Jameson had actually stolen Peter's ideas as his own and published a contest. Peter later managed to win the contest as a result of taking pictures of Spider-Man fighting the Lizard, whom Dr. Connors' had accidentally turned himself into as a result of experimenting with lizard DNA, but--despite Peter having never shown anything that linked Connors to the Lizard--this action alienated Peter from his friends at the ESU lab--particularly Eddie. An upset Peter decided to take a vial of the same gene cleanser that cured Dr. Connors and use it to "cure" himself of his spider powers, but he decided to keep it for later, remaining Spider-Man for the time being.[6]
