==Biography==

===Early Life===
Peter Parker was born in 1984 in Queens, New York City. He was orphaned when his parents died and he later lived with his Uncle Ben and Aunt May. He was bullied at school and had a crush on his next-door neighbor Mary Jane Watson who he met in January 1990 when he was 6 years old and fell in love with her. He became best friends with Harry Osborn, the son of Norman Osborn, the founder of Oscorp. Throughout his school years, Peter remained being bullied by his classmates, but Harry always protected him.

===Becoming Spider-Man===

====Gaining his Powers====
On a school field trip to a laboratory at Columbia University, an escaped genetically altered super-spider bites Peter on his hand with a blood, bonding spider DNA to him, changing his life forever. After suffering a night with intense fever and pain, Peter awakens the next day completely transformed. He acquires a muscle-bound physique and a variety of abilities such as wall-crawling, web-shooting, increased-agility, and a precognitive "spider-sense."

He no longer needs his thick-rimmed glasses and could sprint fast enough to catch a speeding school bus. During lunch hour that day, Peter discovered his organic webbing, accidentally shooting it from his wrists. He also unwittingly tapped into his increased sensory abilities when catching Mary Jane as she falls, slipping on a puddle in the cafeteria. An ensuing brawl between Peter and Mary Jane's angered ex-boyfriend, Flash Thompson, revealed to Peter his spider-sense, as well as superhuman speed and strength. Discovering his new powers, he attracted the suspicion and curiosity of his aunt and uncle.

Determined to impress Mary Jane properly (as she did not react positively to the hallway fight), Peter found an ad in the newspaper for a car, as well as an ad offering $3,000 prize money for anyone who could survive three minutes in a wrestling ring with the champion Bonesaw McGraw, which Peter would use to buy the car. He designed a rudimentary blue and red costume for the event. Telling his Aunt & Uncle he was going to the library, Uncle Ben intercepted Peter and offered to drive him himself.

===Wrestling with Bonesaw ===
Uncle Ben dropped Peter off at the library, not far from the wrestling event. Before Peter could leave the car, Ben attempted to offer kind advice, knowing Peter is going through difficulties at school. Also not impressed with Peter's fight with Flash Thompson, Ben attempted to instill a responsible mindset in Peter. Reacting defensively, Peter rejected the advice, and stormed out of the car and expressing impatience and frustration. Ben, clearly disheartened by Peter's reaction, told his nephew that he planned on picking him up at 10 p.m. that night.

In his homemade spider suit, Peter enters the wrestling match which he is then insulted and pelted by spectators and Bonesaw as he enters. Nonetheless, despite the little spat he pins Bone Saw in less than three minutes. The promoter, however, only pays Peter $100 of his $3,000 prize money. Angered, Peter witnesses an armed robber stealing from the promoter. But Peter allowed the robber escape, despite pleas from a police officer and the injured promoter himself. However, Peter's proud comeback would be short-lived.

==== Uncle Ben's Death====
Attempting to meet his Uncle Ben, Peter discovers the street filled with bystanders and paramedics. His uncle had been killed and fatally shot in the chest with a pistol. Then, Peter watches his Uncle perish as they comfort each other and his uncle dies which makes Peter heartbroken and cries. Enraged, Peter dawns his spider-costume once again, using his powers to chase after the robber. Using his webs to swing from building to building, Peter caught up with the car chase and forced the suspect to crash into a pier warehouse. When Peter finally confronted the gunman, he discovered that it was the same man whom he allowed to go free robbing the wrestling promoter. Startled, the robber tripped backward out a second story window and dies landing on the dock below. After a group of police on a boat believe that he killed the robber, Peter left and sat on a rooftop, before returning home and comforting a heartbroken Aunt May.

A few months have passed, Peter and Harry have finally finished high school and earned a scholarship. After graduation, Norman Osborn congratulates the two, though seems to praise Peter more. He then went home and felt bad after his uncle's death include remember what he says to him which he regrets it. Then, his aunt came to his room by telling him that she misses her husband, but she knows that his uncle is so proud of him and won't let him down. After she left, Peter realizes that his aunt was right and created his homemade suit out of his drawing book.

====Life as Spider-Man====
Remembering the words of his Uncle, ''"with great power comes great responsibility,"'' Peter designs a new spider suit and uses his powers to fight crime throughout New York City as a masked vigilante. The next day, he dawns the official nickname ''"Spider-Man,"'' a name he borrows from the announcer at the wrestling match.

This does not endear him to J. Jonah Jameson, the editor, and publisher of ''The Daily Bugle'' who began a smear campaign aganist the wall-crawler. Then, Peter got the job by taking photos of the Spider-Man for the Daily Bugle. Continuing his superhero career, Spider-Man quickly earns a mythic status among the people of the city getting admiration from workers, civilians, store owners, punk rock groups, street performers, however, the cops felt bothered by his motives. Peter later moved to an apartment with Harry as they went to college together, while Peter kept his vigilante duties a secret from Harry.

===Conflict with the Green Goblin===

====World Unity Festival====
Peter attends the World Unity Fair, taking photos for the Daily Bugle after proving to his boss, J Jonah Jameson, his skill as a photographer. Mary Jane Watson, attending the Fair with her new boyfriend, Harry Osborn, falls from a balcony during the Green Goblin's attack.

He also saves a young boy from getting crushed by the collapsing structures and takes him back to his mother. Then, Spider-Man catches Mary Jane before falling to her death. Then, Spider-Man defeats the Goblin but is forced to let him flee. Later, Green Goblin attacks the office of J Jonah Jameson, demanding to know the identity of the photographer who captures the pictures of Spider-Man.

Jameson makes an attempt to lie to the Goblin, but Peter once again saves the day by appearing as Spider-Man just before the Goblin kills Jameson. The Green Goblin uses a sleep paralysis gas on Spider-Man and brings him to a secluded space to offer a deal of working together. The Goblin gave Spider-Man a few days to think over a "generous-proposal," arguing that there's nothing that people like more than seeing a hero fail and they'll turn against him one day.

====Saving Mary Jane Watson====
Several days later, J. Jonah Jameson publishes slanderous newspapers calling Spider-Man a menace, believing he and the Green Goblin are working together, and the city calls for his arrest.

Spider-Man saves Mary Jane in a dark alley after seeing her being assaulted by men in raincoats. Mary Jane, still unaware of Spider-Man's true identity, pulls part of his mask down and shares a passionate kiss with her savior upside down in the rain, before he web-swings away.

A few days later, the Green Goblin starts a fire in a crowded apartment building to lure Spider-Man into a trap. Spider-Man saves a baby from the inferno but returns to the blaze at the call of one remaining victim. But, The Green Goblin reveals himself as the last "victim" and when Spider-Man refuses the Goblin's proposal to team up, the two engage in a fight. Spider-Man sustains a deep cut on his left arm from one of the Goblin's weapons. With the Goblin's weapons and combat, he gains a slight advantage but Spider-Man finishes the fight and escapes due to the building being weakened by the fire and collapsing, leaving Goblin in anger from Spider-Man's choice.

Later that day, Peter races back to attend his own Thanksgiving party where Mary Jane, Harry, Norman and Aunt May are in attendance. May offers Norman to cut the turkey, but he notices a deep cut on Peter's left arm.

====Final Fight with The Green Goblin====
Not believing Peter's excuse, Norman races off knowing that he discovered the identity of Spider-Man. Later, The Green Goblin attacks Aunt May directly, forcing her into the hospital and terrifying her. The next night, The Goblin captures Mary Jane and answers her phone when Peter calls to check in on her. The Goblin invites Peter to the Roosevelt Bridge where he has Mary Jane and a trolley car full of children held captive. Spider-Man arrives on the scene, but if forced to make a decision between saving Mary Jane or a trolley full of kids both being suspended by the Goblin's super strength. Spider-Man acts decisively, able to catch Mary Jane and the trolley of kids before both falling to their inevitable deaths. Holding the trolley by its suspension cable, Spider-Man tells Mary Jane to climb down until a freight barge can catch them both on the water below. The Goblin attempts to terrorize Spider-Man, forcing him to let go, but people on the bridge above intercept the Goblin's attacks. The barge manages to catch the trolley and Mary Jane.

Meanwhile, the Goblin's attacks persist as he drags Spider-Man via his glider to an abandoned smallpox hospital on the shore nearby. The two fight once again while The Goblin throws a pumpkin bomb at Spider-Mans face, injuring him horribly and he brutally beats up the hero with powerful punches to the mouth and cheek. Spider-Man tries to fight back, but the Goblin keeps shutting him down. Spider-Man gets his will back when the Goblin threatens to kill MJ . Goblin tries to kill him with his trident, but Spiderman grabs it and with a fit of rage, throws him on to a brick wall. Spiderman uses his webs to drag Goblin to the ground and then brick down the brick wall on him. A dazed Goblin gets up, but Spiderman uses a web to swing, grab Goblin, and throw him against a wall. He then starts punching Goblin, but stops when Goblin begs him to.

The Goblin reveals himself to be Norman Osborn and attempts to beg for mercy, asking he was like a father to Peter and asking him to be his son. Peter retorts with already having a father, the man's name was Ben Parker. With Norman refused once again, he uses a remote and attempts to impale Peter with his glider which Peter dodges the incoming blades, leading the glider to impale its owner. Just before Norman dies, he asks Peter to never tell Harry. Peter, in his singed and torn Spider-Man suit, brings the body of Norman back to the Osborn estate which Harry sees Spider-Man carrying his father's body, assuming that he had killed him.

After the burial ceremony, Mary Jane realizes her true feelings for Peter and the two embrace in a kiss. Despite this, Peter rejects Mary Jane, knowing the danger he would put her in if she became involved in his life. After he left, Mary Jane is shown suspecting that Peter Parker, is in fact, Spider-Man.
