Peter Parker (Noir)

**Peter Benjamin Parker** (August 11th, 1917-October 4th, 2008) was an American photographer, private investigator, activist, and vigilante known as **The Spider-Man**. Peter was born in Forest Hills, Queens to Richard Parker and Mary Parker. Peter lost his father in World War I, and his mother died in a factory accident. As a result, Peter was taken in by his Aunt May and his Uncle Ben after the war was over. In the year, 1930 Peter lost his Uncle Ben who was apparently ripped apart by dogs, though Peter knew it was the result of the Goblin Mob, led by Norman Osborn.

In the winter of 1932, acting as an assistant to Daily Bugle photographer Ben Urich, Peter investigated the docks where the Goblin Mob was bringing in a Statue of Anansi from the Gold Coast. The statue suddenly broke which released a swarm of mystical spiders. One of these spiders bit Peter, who was met by a vision of Anansi and the Great Weaver who gave him the powers of a spider. Using his powers and a makeshift costume made from Uncle Ben's pilot uniform, Peter began fighting the Goblin Mob which resulted in the deaths of Adrian Toomes, the Vulture (who was the real person who killed his uncle), Kraven the Hunter, and Norman Osborn. Peter also started a relationship with Felica Hardy, the owner of the Black Cat, the biggest speakeasy in New York.

In the year 1934, Peter began fighting the Crime Master and his mob as well as began investigating the Friends of New Germany. It was then that Peter discovered an alliance between the Crime Master, the Ku Klux Klan, and the Friends of New Germany which came in through the Ku Klux Klan helping get political support for both groups, the Crime Master getting the criminal underworld to support the Friends of New Germany, and the Friends of New Germany providing German weaponry and eliminating "undesirables" from the United States. Furthermore, Peter discovered a plot in which the Crime Master would kidnap African Americans and bring them to Ellis Island where they would be experimented on and lobotomized by Nazi scientists Otto Octavius and Curt Connors. Peter managed to put an end to the plot resulting in the death of the Crime Master, the arrest of Connors, and the deportation of Octavius, however, he was too late to save his friend Randy Robertson. Additionally, Felicia broke up with Peter as the Crime Master had horribly scarred her when he found out about her relationship with Peter. Soon, Felecia would become a violent vigilante known as the Black Cat.

In 1936, while investigating a string of murders connected to the Black Cat and Hammerhead, Peter was met by alternate versions of himself from different Universes. These alternate Spider-Men, informed Peter that a group of villains from different Universes were hunting the various Spider-People and using a group of vampiric clones known as Hounds to help them. Peter was skeptical, however a horde of Hounds appeared. Peter joined them and fought off the hounds. Peter joined the Spider-Army who worked to hunt down the Ultimate Twelve, going across time and space to achieve their goal. Peter was nearly killed by the Hounds and the leader of the Ultimate Six, an alternate Peter Parker known as the Huntsman, however he was revived by a vision of Anansi.

Peter returned to his time and universe, with vague memories of the Spider-Verse incident. Peter continued his work, managing to bring Hammerhead to justice and making amends with Felecia though by this point he had started a relationship with Mary Jane Watson, his childhood friend.

By 1939, Peter had altered his way being Spider-Man and his costume modeling it after the Spider-Men he met during his adventure. Additionally, as Peter Parker he had become a private investigator. Peter was hired to investigate a murder that was linked
