===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.
