**Relatives:** Richard Parker (Father, Deceased), Mary Parker (Mother, Deceased),

Peter Parker was a fictional character appearing in a comic book written by the Geek Chorus, who sought to write the "ultimate Spider-Man comic". At a young age, Peter Parker was adopted by his Aunt, May Parker and Uncle, Ben Parker after the death of his parents. Growing up, Parker took a fascination in science, and developed a romantic interest in his high school classmate, Mary Jane Watson, and was bullied by other classmates, including jock Flash Thompson. Parker grew a fascination with spiders, and did a science report about the Greek myth of Arachne. Parker looked up to scientist Norman Osborn, who sought to save humanity from disaster. On a class fieldtrip to Osborn's lab, Parker was bitten by Arachne, who posed a genetically enhanced spider developed by Osborn's scientists. Parker gained the abilities of a spider, including the ability to shoot webs from his veins, climb walls, and sense danger. Parker also gained enhanced strength and agility. Hoping to impress Mary Jane, who'd been dating Flash, who received a car, Parker decided to buy a car himself. To get the money, he defeated wrestler Bonesaw McGraw using his super powers. When Thompson's car was being stolen by a thief, Parker refused to help. When Ben Parker stepped in, he was killed by the passing vehicle. Peter blamed himself as he mourned his Uncle. Arachne came to Parker in his dreams, inspiring him to use his powers for the greater, and "Rise above" his conflict as his Uncle told him to. Arachne gave Parker a red and blue suit, with the red representing the heart that would color Parker's world red, and the sorrow in the night being the blue he could not shed. He became a superhero branded as the Human Spider, and fought crime under the suit and alias. He was hired by J. Jonah Jameson, a publisher for the Daily Bugle who used his platform to slander the Human Spider in a negative light, to get pictures of the vigilante. Jameson branded the hero "Spider-Man", giving Parker the incentive to stick with the title. The news reached Osborn and his wife/lab partner Emily, who feared that one of his former lab partners who left for lack of payment may have stolen their research to give to competitors. The evil organization Viper convinced Osborn to fast track his mutation experiments. The experiment turned Osborn into the Green Goblin, but caused Emily to die. The Goblin kidnapped Mary Jane and Parker, unmasking him and learning his secret. The two were brought to the Chrysler Building, where Mary Jane was tied up, about to fall 1000 feet to the ground. Spider-Man and the Green Goblin fought throughout the city until the Goblin was webbed to a piano, causing him to fall to his death. Spider-Man saved Mary Jane. After this, Parker began a relationship with Watson, as the two graduated high school. Parker struggled to balance work, collage life, and his romantic life with superhero duties. The Geek Chorus argued Spider-Man's story was done, since he beat the Green Goblin, his "ultimate villain", but Miss Arrow argued that title belonged to a foe the wall crawler was unable to beat. He fought a number of villains throughout this time, including Electro, Kraven the Hunter, Carnage, Swiss Miss, the Lizard, and Swarm, who all seemingly died. Arachne invaded Parker's dreams, telling him how she's fallen in love with him, and attempting to mate with him. Peter awoke, only to find, he'd missed Watson's debut performance of "The Fly" on Broadway. Angered, Peter gave up the powers Arachne has bestowed to him. An angered Arachne vowed that Spider-Man would be hers, as she wished for him to join her in the Astral Plane. Arachne summoned her Furies to aid her. She created illusions of the Green Goblin, Electro, Swarm, the Lizard, Carnage, Kraven the Hunter and Swiss Miss returning as the Sinister Six to attack the world, causing a worldwide power outage. Unable to get Parker to return, she blackmails J. Jonah Jameson into publishing news papers calling for the return of Spider-Man. After that effort fails, Arachne would invade Parker's dreams, making him believe he was marrying Arachne. Instead, Parker, who had been with Watson throughout, became engaged to her. Arachne created illusions depicting the Sinister Six kidnapping Watson, forcing a powerless Peter Parker to return as Spider-Man. Helpless to stop the Green Goblin from dropping Watson off a bridge, Spider-Man took a suicide leap as the city burned. Arachne brought Parker to the Astral Plane, revealing the entire night was an illusion created by her to convince Parker to become Spider-Man once more. Upon learning Watson was suffocating to death in Arachne's web, Parker begged Arachne to free her. Arachne only agreed under the condition that Peter leave Earth to be her husband in the Astral Plane, or kill her, as she had grown sick of her life in isolation, and couldn't kill herself. Parker refused and fought Arachne, only to eventually agree to be with her on h Astral Plane if she freed Watson. A shocked Arachne surrendered, knowing Parker would never be hers, and understanding the pain of agony of living. A moved Parker kissed her on the cheek, freeing her from her pain, and know finding her own humanity. Arachne went to Heaven happily on the same noose she used to attempt suicide in the first place. Parker and Watson, now with no secrets left, vow to continue their life together, as Peter swings to the Daily Bugle to receive his suit.
