Dumb Spider-Man (character)

**Dumb Spider-Man**, a parody of the Marvel Comics character Spider-Man, is a resident of the land of Pbandjist, the second dumbest superhero in the world, and is a surprisingly integral character of the series.

## Appearances

### Debut

Dumb Spider-Man

Dumb Spider-Man first appeared in the third episode of Pbandjist which consisted simply of the hero introducing himself to the audience and telling a story. Dumb Spider-Man went on to make many appearances across the series and was even granted his own sub-series, and eventually, a poorly executed movie telling some of his origins.

## History

### A Dumb Movie

Dumb Spider-Man's early life is depicted to be extremely similar to Marvel's Spider-Man. A teenage genius named Peter Parker was bitten by a genetically engineered radioactive spider and gained the proportionate powers of a spider, which he uses to fight crime.

Like Marvel's Spider-Man, Peter suffered a major loss with the death of his first love, Gwen Stacy at the hands of the Green Goblin. However, he eventually found love again through Mary Jane Watson to whom he eventually got married.

One day while anxiously swinging around the city waiting for news on the birth of his child, Peter collided with a building and is sent to the hospital. This event appears to be the catalyst for his apparent change in personality. Exactly an hour after this incident Mary Jane has her baby in the hospital and names him Ben, after Peter's deceased uncle.

Sometime later, Peter's aunt, May Parker, is shot by an unnamed assailant and Dumb Spider-Man makes it his mission to save her life. The idiot decides the only way to save her is to make a deal with the Devil himself (Here named Mephispo). The devil agrees however in exchange he must reverse Dumb Spider-Man's marriage. Unsurprisingly, the Devil tricks him and instead turns his son, Ben (Whom he refers to as "Dumb Ben") into the symbiotic villain, Toxin. Dumb Spider-Man sets off to try and stop his son's rampage stating simply, *"I have to Ben."*

After a very poorly explained battle, Dumb Spider-Man kills his son while in the form of Toxin and believes that he saved him. It's also presumed that Aunt May died from her wounds in the hospital. On the bright side however he did manage to maintain his relationship with his wife.

### Dumb Spider-Man

Sometime later, Dumb Spider-Man arrives with Mary Jane in the land of Pbandjist where he continues his stupid antics. Dumb Spider-Man managed to secure a deal with TV producer Halen Star-Dar and creates the pilot of his TV show in which he introduces himself.

It's revealed here that Dumb Spider-Man considers himself to be the second dumbest hero in the world, next to Captain America, whom he considers weak for dying from a few measly bullet wounds.

It's also revealed that sometime after arriving in Pbandjist, Dumb Spider-Man had an encounter with one of his old villains' Doctor Octopus. Dumb Spider-Man tried to "play" with his former nemesis, however he was met with a swift slap across the mouth.

The pilot ends with Dumb Spider-Man apparently hearing Mary Jane calling and abruptly swinging away.

## Notes

* Dumb Spider-Man's image from his first appearance was used as the logo for Pbandjist throughout the entirety of the first two seasons. However, when YouTube forced Google+ integration in 2013, the image was removed and since the channel has been poorly maintained it has never been reinstated.
