==Appearance==

Ben's costume resembles the original Spider-Man suit worn by his late father, Peter Parker.
==Relationships==
*Spider-Man (Peter Benjamin Parker) (father, deceased)
*Mary Jane Watson (mother)
*Scarlet Spider (Richard Harold Parker) (brother)
==Powers/Abilities==
*Spider Physiology/OZ Formula Enhancements: Being the son of Peter Parker, Ben has gained the proportionate abilities of a spider after being born with the genetically-modified Oz formula. Due to Ben and Richard both being born of an Oz User, they have the powers of their father, as well as a few different ones themselves.
*Wall-Crawling: Ben being born with the mutated spider venom in his DNA, induced a mutagenic, cerebellum-wide alteration of his engrams resulting in the ability to mentally control the flux of interatomic attraction (electrostatic force) between molecular boundary layers. This overcomes the outer electron shells normal behaviour of mutual repulsion with other outer electron shells and permits the tremendous potential for electron attraction to prevail. The mentally controlled sub-atomic particle responsible for this has yet to be identified. This ability to affect the attraction between surfaces is so far limited to Spider-Man's body (especially concentrated in his hands and feet) and another object, with an upper limit of several tons per finger. Limits to this ability seem to be psychosomatic, and the full nature of this ability has yet to be established.
*Superhuman Strength: Spider-Man possesses superhuman strength enabling him to press lift approximately 10 tons. Spider-Man's physical strength is sufficient to effortlessly lift and throw objects as heavy as most standard cars with ease. Some feats include throwing a taxi cab five stories into the air, and lifting a forklift that averagely weighs 4.5 tons (9,000 lbs). He must also pull his punches and kicks unless fighting someone of similar or greater physical durability. Otherwise, his blows would prove fatal to a normal human being. He has demonstrated that he is strong enough to allow him to knock out people with normal durability with as little as a tap to the head. Ben's physical strength also extends into his legs, enabling him to be able to jump to a height of several stories in a single bound. In the second issue, he seems to throw a car with little effort. He also broke Johnson Groves' hand by simply putting his palm up to stop it.
*Superhuman Speed: Spider-Man can run and move at speeds that are beyond the physical limits of the finest human athlete. Keeping up with cars, outrunning cars and manoeuvring fast attacks from beings such as Kraven the Hunter, Prowler, and Scorpion.
*Superhuman Stamina: Spider-Man's advanced musculature produces less fatigue toxins during physical activity than an ordinary human. This allows him to exert himself physically for much longer periods of time before fatigue begins to impair him. At his peak, Spider-Man can physically exert himself for several hours before the build up of fatigue toxins in his blood begins to impair him.
*Superhuman Durability: Ben’s body is physically tougher and more resistant to some types of injury than the body of a normal human. His body is more resistant to impact forces than anything else. He can withstand great impacts, such as falling from a height of several stories or being struck by a superhumanly strong opponent, that would severely injure or kill a normal human with little to no discomfort, Spider-Man's durability is sufficient that he survived with no serious injuries other than a sore body after being electrocuted by Electro and then thrown out of Kingpin's skyscraper.
*Superhuman Agility: Spider-Man's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are all enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete. Spider-Man is extraordinarily limber and his tendons and connective tissues are twice as elastic as the average human being's, despite their enhanced strength. He has the combined agility and acrobatic prowess of the most accomplished circus aerialists and acrobats. He can also perform any complicated sequence of gymnastic stunts such as flips, rolls, and springs. He can easily match or top any Olympic record at gymnastics apparatus such as flying rings, climbing ropes, horizontal bars, trampolines.
*Superhuman Equilibrium: Ben possesses the ability to achieve a state of perfect equilibrium in any position imaginable. He seems able to adjust his position by instinct, which enables him to balance himself on virtually any object, no matter how small or narrow. He has developed a unique fighting style that made full use of his agility, strength, and equilibrium.
*Superhuman Reflexes: Ben’s reflexes are similarly enhanced and are currently about 15 times greater than those of an ordinary human. In combination with his spider-sense, the speed of his reflexes allows him to dodge almost any attack, even direct gunfire if he is far enough away.
*Spider-Sense: Ben possesses a precognitive "spider-sense" which alerts him to danger, he gets a tingling sensation that manifests at the back of his skull. Through experience, and Training from Richard, Ben has learned how to sense differences in the various tingles he feels, determining whether a danger is potential or immediate, how intense a threat it is, what direction it is coming from, etc.
*Immortality: According to Norman Osborn, the OZ formula bestows a form of immortality that prevents those infused with it from being permanently killed nor age as well.
*Regenerative Healing Factor: As an (apparent) immortal, he can rapidly regenerate from harmful injuries. Such as bruises and cuts in seconds to minutes, and Broken bones and bullet wounds in an hour.
*Genius-Level Intellect: Ben like Peter is a prodigy biochemist. His adoptive father said he was "as smart as they come". He possesses an IQ of 145.
*Poison/Vampire Bite Immunity: Thanks to the spider venom that courses in his veins, it makes him immune to vampire bites and immune to poisons, since the spider venom didn't kill him.
*Indomitable Will: Just like his father before him, Ben has a strong force of will.
===Untapped Powers/Abilities===
Unbeknownst to Ben, he has an arsenal of his own powers and abilities he is yet to awaken. These being:
*Night Vision: Ben has enhanced night vision as a part of his mutant list of abilities, allowing him to see in pitch-black conditions.
*Stingers: Ben will develop retractable, razor-sharp stingers that are located within his arms beneath his wrists. They released a polyamine venom, causing direct trauma and/or flaccid paralysis via interference with nerve impulse transmission. While a typical injection could paralyze a normal adult human for several hours, the impalement can be proved fatal to nigh-invulnerable beings.
*Fangs: Ben can grow a mouth full of razor sharp fangs that he can use to land fatal blows on others, and bite through metal and steel.
*Bio-Electrokinesis: Ben possesses control over natural electricity that his body produces, capable of utilizing it for offensive abilities such as:
**Venom Blast: Ben can send a bio-electric shock to his enemies or destroy technology by releasing a small spark of electricity from his hands. After the initial spark, moments later the enemy will be electrocuted. It seems that there are varying degrees to this ability, as some opponents have been simply dazed where others have been completely incapacitated. This is also very convenient, as Ben can end a confrontation quickly with little collateral damage.
**Mega-Venom Blast: When under extreme stress, Ben is capable of releasing a powerful burst of energy from his body but he can only use it once before needing to recharge it. It was powerful enough to destroy much of a single area. This ability can be triggered by extreme stress, or focus on Ben's part.
**Venom Punch: Ben can enhance the power of his punches by infusing his fists with bio-electricity.
**Energy-Web Generation: Ben can produce threads of bio-electricity from his fingers. Said spinnerets carry the same tensile prehensility of his web fluid, allowing him to swing from place to place or yank and flail around his opponents.
**Spider-Camouflage: Ben, including his clothing, can blend into his surroundings, allowing him to sneak up on his enemies or, in some cases, flee from them. The resulting effect closely resembles that of invisibility.
==Skills==
*Improvised Fighting Style: Ben's main fighting style is street brawling, but mainly learning on a “learn as you go” training regiment.
*Planning: Ben is able to plan strategies to aid him during combat or otherwise.
*Misdirection: Ben can give his opponents a false sense of victory to gain the upper hand.
*Quips: Just like Peter, Ben quips a lot to his enemies to throw them off their game; he also gets a kick out of saying them.
==Weaknesses==
*Short-Tempered: Ben can be extremely short tempered, resulting in the defeat of the team or himself, and can also easily lose his anger once he begins to battle and fight an opponent that can get the beat of him. He gets sloppy, arrogant, and almost doesn't care to save others once he becomes angry.
*Inexperience: Due to his relatively short time as Spider-Man, one of Ben's biggest weaknesses is his inexperience in being a costumed crime-fighter. He still is not completely sure what his powers make him capable of and this handicaps his effectiveness because of this.
*Age: Although he is very bright and seemingly mature for a 16-year-old, his age and lack of real world experiences is sometimes an obstacle in understanding the gravity of the situation around him.
*Lack of Training: Ben has had no combat training beyond what he has learned from watching videos of Peter Parker in action and his own experimentation with his powers. This leads to him making tactical mistakes in fights, such as when he leaped into the center of a group of common thugs and was promptly floored with a punch to the face. Due to his poor combat skills, Ben relies on his reflexes and as he has said himself: luck to win his battles.
*Symbiotes: If a Symbiote attaches itself to him and stays with him for a certain amount of time, it can become invisible to his spider sense.
*Gene Cleanser: If he is infected with or takes this willingly, it can take away his powers for a short time or indefinitely depending on the amount he took.
*Spider-Sense Disruption: His spider sense can lose it's function if it is disrupted by special drugs or chemicals. Also, if the spider sense has not register something that is clearly dangerous, he will not be warned. Such things as all and any of Ben's clones if he ever had any and the Venom Symbiote and all of its offspring such as Carnage, Toxin and so on.
*Anti-Venom: anyone who posses the anti-venom suit will have the ability to weaken and even take away spider powers from individuals, as well as also be immune to Ben's spider sense.
*Ethyl Chloride: Ben's spider powers are weak to the chemical known as Ethyl Chloride. This chemical is often used by Spider-Slayers.
*Electromagnetic Waves: Ben and Richard's powers can be disrupted by electromagnetic waves of energy just as they can follow it with their spider sense. The waves can disrupt their venom blast, senses, and their ability to stick to walls.
==Equipment==
*Spider Tracers: Miniature mechanical spiders when once attached to a person or object they track it as long as the person or thing doesn't enter a facility built like a fortress. It can also be hooked to antennas which allow him to listen in on police chatter.
==Personality==
Ben commonly tries to be brave and a righteous hero with an indomitable sense of justice and responsibility. Ben was shaken by his father's tragic death and then years later, the sudden realization that he and his brother had inherited spider powers and that Richard was already in the game as the Scarlet Spider, seeing this as a sign he and his brother vowed to take the path of heroism and humanitarian service. Mostly continuing their Father's legacy. One of Ben's most prominent traits that he and Richard both seem to have from their father is his sense of humor, even in the face of certain death, Ben can invariably crack a joke to the annoyance of both friends and foes. His reasons for this varies; either he wants to relieve the stress of a situation, or simply because he wants to hide how scared he really is during a crisis, he also does this to get on the nerves of his opponents, since he knows that if they are angry, that they would normally lose themselves and be a vulnerable opponent. It is generally agreed, however, that whenever a life is in danger, he will stop telling jokes and take the current situation strictly seriously.
Ben however, unlike his father who was a loner, due to his individualistic style (having been a social outcast in his youth), Ben finds it better to work in teams. However, he gradually will start to work alone if he has an opportunity, and if he takes the matter as something personal to him. He will ask others to stay out of it.
However despite all of this, he is still a teenager and is relatively immature and angry. He can almost easily lose control of his anger once he begins to battle and fight an opponent that can get the better of him. He gets sloppy, arrogant, and almost doesn't care to save others once he becomes angry. Even going as far as to nearly kill someone. Ben can also easily misinterpret what others say or mean.
==Trivia==
* Ben enjoys playing video games and listening to rock music.
* Ben likes to go to parties.
* Ben doesn't enjoy being told what to do.
* Ben hates being upstaged by other people.
