Spider-Man (Earth-92131)

Spider-Man, (real name Peter Parker), is a famed superhero based out of the New York City area. Despite his shaky public image, he is one of the most recognized heroes in the world having performed numerous acts of courage. He lives by his Uncle Ben's motto, "With great power comes great responsibility."

Early life
Peter's parents, Richard and Mary Parker, were spies for the United States government. While on a mission, the two were killed and branded as traitors. Peter was sent to live with his Uncle Ben Parker and his Aunt May. Ben and May taught Peter to be responsible and studious. Peter began to love science.

At the age of ten Ben took Peter to science camp where he met the genius in charge named Otto Octavius. Once Peter began an experiment of his own, but it backfired and the other children laughed at him. Dr. Octavius comforted Peter by telling him that their laughter was meaningless, and science would justify their actions. Peter remembered those words and looked up to him as a mentor.

High School
As Peter grew up he continued to be ostracized by society, due to his geeky look and interest in science. In high school, he asked Liz Allen to a science demonstration on neogenics, but she turned him down to go to a party with Flash Thompson. Flash pushes him into a puddle and the group laughs at him.

Great Power
Peter went to the demonstration anyways, alone. Unbeknownst to anyone, a spider descended into the beam as it was activated and later bit Peter. He didn't know for sure, but strongly believed that it was radioactive. He became ill and left the demonstration. He ran outside and began hallucinating that he was transforming into a spider.

Peter woke up disoriented in a nearby alley, his head is throbbing. Peter failed to notice that he walked right into the path of an oncoming vehicle. Peter miraculously leapt out of the way and stuck to the nearby building. Peter found that he can climb walls and had the strength and agility of a spider.

With his incredible intellect, in order to further advance his spider-like skills, he created twin devices that were able to shoot webbing that he put into small cartridges and inserts the device, which he dubbed, web shooters.

Great Responsibility
While developing more and more into his newfound abilities, Peter thought he could make money off his new powers. He designed a red and blue costume for himself so he would not be recognized. He went on a show called It's Amazing to gain attention and make some quick money. He felt that even though he had a mask on, he was still showing off to all those who picked on him before.

Encountering an ad offering a cash prize for a wrestling match, Peter decided this would be a good way to test his powers. Peter easily defeated his opponent. After winning a bout, Spider-Man was in the locker room when a thief ran by him. Not wanting to get involved, Spider-Man let the man go, stating he was a wrestler not a cop.

Peter returned home and saw police surrounding the place. Inside an officer told him that his Uncle Ben tried to stop a thief, but the man was armed. Uncle Ben was killed. The thief had been chased to a warehouse. Peter wanted the man first and donned his Spider-Man costume to track him down. Spider-Man went to the warehouse and unmasked the man, seeing that it was the same from the locker room. He realized that had he stopped the thief, Uncle Ben would still be alive. Peter vowed to never put himself before anyone else, that with great power comes great responsibility.
