History
Early life
Added by Bighead910They were an elderly couple with no children of their own, and they raised Peter as if he were their son. They rarely spoke about Peter's real parents, so Peter became convinced that his parents had left him because of something he had done. Afraid of being left alone again, Peter worked hard to gain his uncle's and aunt's approval and love. However, Ben and May loved their nephew with all their heart.
Added by Bighead910High School Outcast
Peter Parker was an extremely intelligent teenager and became a honors student at Midtown High School. Peter's timidness and interest in his school work often made him a social outcast, and give him no time to hangout, go to parties, and have more of a social life, like other kids, such as his bully Flash Thompson had.
Becoming Spider-Man
In Amazing Fantasy #15, Peter's life changes while he is bitten by an escaped radioactive spider while at a science exhibit about spiders. Peter gains the agility and proportionate strength of an arachnid. Along with super strength, he gains the ability to crawl on dry walls and ceilings.
Added by Bighead910One day, after he gets paid from winning a wrestling match, Peter ignores the chance to stop a fleeing thief in the place he got paid. Later that day, the criminal ironically catches up with him when the same criminal later robs and kills his Uncle Ben. After seeing the death of his Uncle Ben, Peter vows to never let a another person get hurt if he help it. He quits being a television star, and starts fighting for the greater good of humanity.
College Student
Added by Bighead910At college, he meets new classmates such as Harry Osborn and Gwen Stacy.
Even though he got off to a bad start with them, finally Peter became friends with them, as well as his old high school bully, Flash Thompson. Harry Osborn's father, Norman Osborn, as the Green Goblin, came back after a period of absence and discovered Spider-Man's identity, kidnapping him and revealing his own alter-ego to him. In a furious battle the villain lost all memories of his time as a criminal. Peter moves into an apartment and even bought a motorcycle. Spider-Man ruined Peter's college graduation. In the week before the ceremony, Spidey was battling the Green Goblin and the Rocket Racer. He couldn't graduate with the rest of his class since he'd missed a required gym class. After Peter gets his degree from Empire State University, he continues his studies as a graduate student, and took a job as a teaching assistant. After awhile, Peter decided he needed time to rest with being Spider-Man and all, and he withdrew from the graduate program. Taking Aunt May's advice, he returned to college and continued working toward his master's degree.

Added by Bighead910But in the end, Peter's dedication to using his powers responsibly has always led to Peter donning the mask again in the hope that some day the world will learn to appreciate Spider-Man.
Lost Loved Ones
Added by Bighead910Being accused for Captain George Stacy's death, Spider-Man faced some heroes who wanted to take him to authorities, such as the X-Men's Iceman, and The Prowler. Peter even went to London to prevent Gwen's departure forever, after her father's death.
Afterwards, Peter Parker's best friend Harry Osborn fell to LSD drug addiction and Peter, along with Gwen and Mary Jane, took care of him. This problem made Norman Osborn remember his Green Goblin persona and returned as him, battling Spider-Man, and declining his alter-ego after seeing the status of his son.

Added by Bighead910After, Norman Osborn's self problems began resurfacing, he became the Green Goblin again, and kidnapped Gwen Stacy. Spider-Man found them at the Brooklyn Bridge, where they fought and Gwen was dropped from the bridge. When Spider-Man attempted to reach her with a web-line, he accidentally snapped her neck, and instantly killed her. The Green Goblin escaped, and furious, Spider-Man searched for him and fought him again, this time almost beating him to death out of anger. Norman Osborn came to his senses he tried to impale Peter with his own Goblin glider, forgetting about Peter's Spider-Sense, he himself was impaled and was killed.
With Peter affected by Gwen's death, Mary Jane tried to get near Peter to calm him. Being accused for the death of both Stacy's, Spider-Man was confronted by heroes such as Power Man and The Punisher. After finding the Green Goblin, Peter as Spider-Man almost beats him to death, before seeing that if he were to kill him, he would not only be as bad as him killing Gwen, but be as bad as the public claims he is.
Later, Harry took the Green Goblin mantle and kidnapped Flash Thompson, Mary Jane Watson and Aunt May. Spider-Man managed to find him at his father's old home and defeated him, leaving him to the authorities and Harry was sent to an asylum.
The First Clone Saga
- See: The Clone Saga
Added by Bighead910After kidnapping Ned Leeds and Spider-Man, Warren explained to the hero that he loved Gwen and blamed Spider-Man for her death. And after managing to clone a frog, he used a blood example from Gwen to do the same.
Soon, Spider-Man was later unconscious in a stadium, where he battled a clone of himself to save Ned from a bomb. Then, Gwen's clone made Jackal realize everything was wrong and freed Ned, while the bomb exploded, apparently killing him and the Spider-Clone. Spider-Man took the corpse of his clone and buried it at an industrial chimney, while the clone of Gwen Stacy left New York. Later, Betty Brant married Ned Leeds. Spider-Man faced Harry's psychologist, Bart Hamilton, who became the third Green Goblin and, after various encounters, died at the hands of Harry.
Peter then proposed marriage to Mary Jane, but she wouldn't accept, making their relationship falter. MJ went to Florida with her Aunt Anna.
While Spider-Man managed to clear his name of the Stacy's deaths, Peter Parker graduated from ESU.
Awhile later, Spencer Smythe, the creator of the Spider-Slayers, died from illness after trying to kill Spider-Man and J. Jonah Jameson, the men he blamed for ruining his life.
Secret Wars and the Alien Costume

Secret Wars
Added by Bighead910
The Symbiote
When his costume was damaged in battle, Peter used the futuristic technology on the Beyonder's planet to repair it which transformed into a black version of Spider-Man's costume. After returning to earth, Peter discovered that his new suit was capable of transforming into street clothing as well as generate stronger webs right from the costume. After the discovery of the symbiote, Mary Jane Watson returned to Peter's life.
After a battle with a male villian named "Puma" he dislocated Spider-Man arm. Spider-Man passed out pushing it back into place. Black Cat saved Peter from Puma and left Peter at home. At home, Mary Jane came over to visit, because she thought Peter felt let down by something. But Peter shoved Mary Jane out of the door when his Spider-Sense went off. Just as Peter shut the door, Puma crashed in. During the battle in another building Puma confirmed that Spidey's web was organic. After the battle Peter returned home and Mary Jane told him that she knew he was Spider-Man. Peter tried to convince her that she was wrong, but Black Cat came in and Mary Jane left. Black Cat said Mary Jane is nobody, and Peter yelled at her. When she started to leave, Peter's hand webbed her hand, and Felicia (thinking he'd done this on purpose) decided to stay.
Added by Bighead910Peter had soon noticed that the costume behaved strangely, he asked for help via the Fantastic Four's Reed Richards, who discovered the costume was a living alien organism. He helped remove the living organism by force, and kept it at the Fantastic Four's headquarters. After a power outage, the symbiote would later escaped, plaguing the life of Parker again by trying to merge with Peter for good. Peter then took the symbiote to the chruch to remove it via the sonic vibrations from the chruch bell. After leaving Peter Parker it started to merge with Eddie Brock, who was in the same chruch.
Eddie Brock dubbed himself as "Venom" being the poison to Spider-Man since the symbiote learned of Peter Parker's alter-ego as Spider-Man and passed the infomation on to Eddie when they became one. Eddie would always refer to himself as "us" whenever he was merged with what was dubbed as the "Venom Symbiote"
Added by Bighead910After fighting along side the Avengers multiple times, Spider-Man even tried to join them. However, he membership was denied due to either his annoying sense of humor, lone nature, or lack of superhero experience. He was later put as reserve member, then full access much later in his life. Spider-Man then met Silver Stable whom he partnered up, and worked with from time to time.
The Marriage! and Captain Universe host

Added by Bighead910Spider-Man once again fought along side the Avengers to stop the alien Nebula from destroying reality with her Infinity Union. After the battle, Peter was told again that Spider-Man might not be suited for Avengers membership, although later he was inducted into their number on a provisional basis. Peter later returned to his studies and postgraduate work as a lab assistant at Empire State University.
Around this time, Peter was briefly endowed with the powers of Captain Universe, in order to stop a series of robots, including the mutant-killing Sentinels. Once the menace was defeated, the extra powers left him.
The Second Clone Saga
Added by SonicSpeedster912Ben Reilly eventually assumed the identity of Spider-Man himself, since Doctor Octopus tarnished the reputation of the Scarlet Spider. Mary Jane, meanwhile, was to give birth to her and Peter's baby May Parker, but was rushed to the hospital under the pretense of a medical emergency. The original Green Goblin stole the baby, unbeknownst to the Parkers, who were told the baby died in a miscarriage. When the Green Goblin tried to kill Peter Parker in a fight, Ben Reilly jumped in front of the Goblin's glider, sacrificing himself to save Parker. He turned to dust in Peter's arms, while Peter tells him to "Rest easy brother." He has not reappeared since.
Identity Crisis
- See: Identity Crisis
Added by SonicSpeedster912However, in order to continue his crime-fighting career and investigate the fake claims towards Spider-Man, Peter Parker relinquished his Spider-Man identity while creating four unique and separate ones: Dusk, Hornet, Prodigy, and Ricochet. As these heroes publicly exonerate Spider-Man, at which point he resumed his Spider-Man identity after proving the footage was fake and Norman Osborn was lying.
Later, the Golden Age hero Black Marvel acquired the four costumes and gave them to four teenagers, forming a team he named the Slingers. When the Avengers were attempting to reform their number after disbanding for a year after the crisis known as Onslaught, Spider-Man was contacted due to his past affiliation with them. However, by his own choice, Parker decided to dissolve ties with the Avengers.
The Death of Mary Jane?
Peter Parker, Mary Jane, and Aunt May moved to an apartment in Manhattan. Parker had promised Mary Jane to give up his Spider-Man identity, but he would continually sneak out at night as Spider-Man. Their marriage began to strain, in part because of Mary Jane's new modeling career and in part because she rediscovered Parker's secret. Before they could reconcile, however, Mary Jane was supposedly killed when her airplane exploded.
For a long time, Parker refused to believe her dead, but eventually grew to accept it. Parker discovered Mary Jane was alive, captured by a villain who had been stalking her prior to her airplane flight. After a brief reconciliation, Mary Jane requested to leave Parker once more, saying that she needed time to adjust by herself.
Death and Rebirth
Added by Bighead910After being nearly beaten again, Ezekiel helped Spide-Man, but seemingly perished.
Peter then injected himself with radiation at a nuclear plant, to hurt Morlun, thus enabling Spider-Man to defeat him. However, after the brutal battle, Spider-Man returned to his apartment, and fell into deep sleep. Aunt May came by, only to find that Peter had severe wounds and scars, and a tattered Spider-Man costume on the floor. After a day of coming to grips with the fact that her nephew was Spider-Man, Aunt May revealed that she knew. Now their relationship was stronger than ever, and eventually, Mary Jane and Peter reunited as a couple for good. After a breakout at the Raft Security Prison, Spider-Man joined the New Avengers. May, Peter, and Mary Jane moved into Avengers Tower after an enemy destroyed both Peter's and May's places. Changes resulting from a confrontation with Morlun caused Peter to try and reconcile 'the man and the spider' within himself. He then gained greater speed; poisonous, razor-sharp stingers located within his arms; night vision; increased sensory awareness via vibratory patterns transmitted through the hairs on his body and through his weblines; a greater clinging ability; and equal superhuman strength in order to carry heavy objects on his back.

Added by Bighead910However, fighting against the fugitive heroes and the existence of the Thor clone left a poor taste in his mouth, causing him to switch sides and instead join Captain America's side.

At one point, Eddie Brock was found in Aunt May's room; he attempted to commit suicide by jumping out of the window. Mephisto offered Peter to save Aunt May in exchange of Peter's and MJ's love. As part of Mephisto's deal, everyone would forget Peter's identity as Spider-Man. Then Mephisto re-arranged history to make it so that Peter unwittingly wouldn't show up to his wedding day, but stayed with Mary Jane as a long time couple. But this re-arrangement also caused it to be Doctor Strange who erased people's memories about Parker's secret identity (except Mary Jane) and protected Peter with a "psychic blind spot".

Added by Bighead910Upon regaining consciousness, Peter was interrogated by Nick Fury, who believed his story of coming from another universe and sent him off with Miles to learn this world's history. During their conversation, however, Peter and Miles were attacked by a robotic avatar of Mysterio, which self-destructed after a brief battle and knocked Miles unconscious. Peter subsequently went off on his own to investigate, and was shocked and horrified to discover that his counterpart in this world died in battle, and that not only was the city still mourning his loss, but his identity is now public knowledge.
Making his way to Queens, he came across May Parker and Gwen Stacy. Initially furious at what they believed to be a disrespect of their Peter's memory, the two were taken aback when a distraught Peter unmasked himself before their eyes. Still, the two attacked Peter until Miles vouched for him, leading to Aunt May passing out.
When May awakened, she went upstairs and heard Peter exchanging stories with Gwen. When Gwen asked what happened to her in his dimension, Peter became uncomfortable and changed the topic. Aunt May and Peter had a tearful reunion and Peter was very surprised to find out he had a relationship with Kitty Pryde. Nick Fury came to pick him and Miles up, and for a quick second, Peter saw Mary Jane's Ultimate counterpart before she ran away. He was taken over to meet Iron Man, where the two began to work on a time-space formula until Miles pointed out a familiar building in a video of a previous fight against Mysterio.
Peter led the charge to Mysterio's headquarters, where they quickly subdued him before he could destroy the portal and trap Peter on Earth-1610 forever.

Added by DalekSupreme13However, neither Otto or the people watching can hear or see him, making his point mute. Peter later stated that he wasn't sure how he survived his supposed death in the Dying Wish storyline, but swore that he would find a way to regain control of his body. Many issues in, Peter tries to gain control again doing little things such as writing notes using Otto's hand, but to no help since Otto does not know Peter is still apart of him.
As Otto does many things Peter would not do. Including going out with Mary Jane again, making nice with J. Jonah Jameson, giving Alpha, his ex-sidekick his powers back, and even fighting some of the Avengers.

- Other equipment include spider-tracers (spider-shaped adhesive homing beacons keyed to his own spider-sense), a digital camera, and A "spider-signal".
- Costumes: Over the course of his long career as Spider-Man, Peter has, on occasion, had to create alternative versions of his costume to assist in besting his foes.
Weaknesses
Unlike many superheroes, as Spider-Man, Peter does not have a weakness he is automatically vulnerable to, but in recent years, methods have been created to weaken some of his spider powers.
- Spider-Sense Disruption: Peter's Spider Sense can lose it's power if it is blocked or weakened by specialized equipment. Peter's Spider Sense does not trigger if it detects something that is not registered as a threat like the Spider-Man clones or the Venom symbiote, it's offspring and Anti-Venom. When Peter has no spider-sense, he becomes much more vulnerable to sneak attacks.
- Anti-Venom's Proximity: Anti-Venom's failed attempt to cure Peter Parker of his radioactive blood resulted in Peter's powers slowly canceling out whenever Anti-Venom is close to him.
- This weakness no longer applies due to Eddie Brock sacrificing the Anti-Venom Symbiote to cure the population of New York during the Spider-Island storyline.
- Ethyl Chloride: As a side effect of his spider powers, Spider-Man is susceptible to the pesticide ethyl chloride chemcial.
