## Biography

### Early Life

**Akira Nakamura** was born on February 8th, 1988 in Kyoto, Japan. Akira was a brilliant man who graduated from high school at the age of 16. Akira then moved to New York City to attend college at Empire State University. While there Akira legally changed his name to **Aaron Aikman** in order to better acclimate to his new country. After graduating from ESU, Aaron began working for Ikegami Medical Center in Scarsdale, New York. At an unknown point Hannah Ikegami, the daughter of Aaron's boss Kaori Ikegami, was hit by a car and was put in a coma. Aaron spent time attempting to heal Hannah and created a suit of armor to help heal her.

### Parker Industries

After unknown circumstances, possibly stemming from a relationship with Kaori, Aaron left Ikegami Medical Center and instead began working for Parker Industries, a local business in the New York Metropolitan Area that created and sold new technology to bigger companies. Aaron became a rising star at the company and began working with Peter Parker, the CEO of Parker Industries, on various projects. Aaron discovered Peter working on equipment for Spider-Man, however Peter claimed that he was just the man who created his equipment. Aaron then came up with an idea for an armor for Spider-Man, however Peter turned the idea down since he had already been working on an armor and didn't need another one.

### Becoming Spider-Man

Aaron decided to create the armor anyways and decided to use it himself. Aaron then began fighting crime using his new Spider-Armor. Aaron foiled several small time crimes successfully. Aaron later faced against Rick Landress, an astronaut who transformed into a monster known as Redeye. Aaron had immense trouble fighting Redeye, although he eventually defeated him by crushing him to death with rubble from nearby buildings. A few months later, Aaron began tracking a villain known as Naamurah who had been kidnapping patients as Ikegami Medical Center and turning them into drone soldiers. Under his normal identity, Aaron began investigating and he learned from Kaori that Hannah was among the patients kidnapped. While investigating, a hooded cyborg figure appeared and began attacking the security. Aaron then snuck out of the hospital and donned his Spider-Man armor. Aaron began fighting the figure who he believed was Naamurah and managed to subdue him. The figure then identified himself as Daarroh and revealed that he was one of the kidnapped patients and was given a cybernetic body to capture Aaron. Aaron then destroyed Daarroh's cybernetic appendages and left him webbed on the ceiling for the police to find. Aaron then discovered Naamurah's hideout and engaged her in a fight. Naamurah then defeated Aaron, and revealed that she knew his identity and warned him to leave her alone. Aaron then spent the next few days recovering, and recognized that Naamurah was actually Hannah. Aaron then confronted Kaori about this, and she admitted that she had tried an experimental solution to wake Hannah from her coma and that she had a sudden personality shift. Aaron then stormed out of the room and attempted to fight Naamurah. Their fight caught the attention of the real Spider-Man who jumped in and defeated Naamurah. Spider-Man then told Aaron to give up the armor which Aaron complied with.

### Later Years & Death

Aaron then continued working for Parker Industries and managed to turn Hannah Ikegami back to normal. In 2053, Aaron retired from Parker Industries and returned to Japan. On June 1st, 2069 during a visit with family in Osaka, Aaron collapsed on the sidewalk and was rushed to the hospital. Aaron was pronounced dead from natural causes a few hours later, having passed in his sleep.

His Spider-Man armor was purchased by Peter, although after Alchemax acquired Parker Industries they took control of the suit. It was later stolen by Miguel O'Hara, the Spider-Man of 2099.
