## History

### Early Life (1993 - 2006)

Peter Parker was born to Oscorp scientist Richard and his wife Mary Parker. Peter wasn't the first child of Richard and Mary, having a daughter a year earlier by the name of Theresa. Five months after Peter’s birth, his parents were involved in a plane crash over the Atlantic, with no bodies being found, the two were presumed dead and Peter and Theresa were left in the care of their uncle Ben and aunt May. Despite being young themselves, Ben and May devoted themselves to raising the children and loved them like their own children. Peter became interested in his father’s old science equipment at the young age of 9 and created a semi functional sticky fluid similar to silly string that would disintegrate after an hour. This would serve as a prototype of Peter’s webbing. Peter was not a popular child growing up and would regularly be bullied by his peers. Peter’s only friend would be fellow bullied youth Ned Leeds.

### Spider-Man (2008 - 2009)

At the age of 15, Peter attended a school field trip to General Techtronics with his classmates. Distracted for one second by Liz Allen, Peter was bit by an irradiated spider.

Making his way home afterward, Peter was almost hit by a car until he leapt out of the way onto a building site a couple of meters high. Peter discovered he had somehow gained incredible strength, agility, and surface scaling; all spider-like traits that he immediately associated with the spider bite at the demonstration.

After a week of testing out his powers, Peter gained the courage to ask out his crush Liz Allen, Liz accepted but that led to a bigger problem of Peter needing a ride to the movies. With uncle Ben at work he started to look through ads, encountering a $3,000 cash prize for lasting three minutes in the ring with wrestler “Crusher” Hogan. Peter decided this would be a good way to make the money. Wearing a mask to avoid humiliation in case of defeat, Peter used his powers and easily defeated his opponent.

Wrestling promoter Maxwell Shiffman observed his performance and immediately banned him for going off the script (despite Peter not being his scheduled opponent), refusing to pay him and sending him off. Angered by this, Peter let a thief run off with money from the same promotion, claiming that it wasn't his responsibility. Later that same night he returned home late to find his Uncle Ben murdered in a break in. Learning the police had the burglar responsible holed up in a warehouse, Peter changed into Spider-Man and easily captured him, only to discover he was the same thief he had allowed to escape earlier.

Filled with remorse knowing that his inaction leads to tragedy, he realized that when someone has the power they have an obligation to use it responsibly. From this realization of the gravity of events, he decided to become a vigilante superhero helping whoever he could.

#### Taking on Great Responsibility

In his early career Peter struggled with juggling a life of heroics and his own personal one, despite dating for months, Peter and Liz Allen never went out together due to his busy schedule forcing Ned to cover for him most of the time. Things were only worsened when a villain called The Molten Man turned out to be Liz’s older brother Mark. Eventually Peter just called off the whole thing to focus on school, his heroics, & his job.

Speaking about that, around this time the Parker began having financial troubles, Uncle Ben’s secret bank account hadn’t been found out yet and Peter attempted to get back into wrestling as the Mace. This failed with him being immediately recognized as a Spider-Man ripoff but Peter was eventually able to get a job as Ned got an internship at the Daily Bugle and gave Pete the idea to sell Spider-Man photos to the Spidey hating owner J. Jonah Jameson.

In his high school years, Spider-Man fought many villains including the Tinkerer, Doctor Octopus, the Sandman, the Fox, the Lizard, the Living Brain, Electro, the Big Man and his Enforcers, Mysterio, and Kraven the Hunter. Several of these villains would form the Sinister Six, under the leadership of Doctor Octopus, a team who tried to get Spider-Man by kidnapping Aunt May and trying to force Peter to "call" him.
