Peter Parker

## Spider-Man

* Spider-Man
* Peter Parker

**Peter B.** "**Pete**" **Parker**, also known as "**Spider-Man**", is both a fictional character and protagonist of the *Marvelous DC's* *Spider-Shock* series created by Steve Ditko and Dwayne McDuffie. He is a web-slinging superhero of N.D.

He gained his spider-like superhuman attributes, powers, abilities, and after being bitten by a genetically modified spider during a field trip to OsCorp. He uses his spider-like superpower gifts, and web gadgets of his own built design.

Motivated by his past's tragedy, he takes the lesson, "With great power comes great responsibility," to heart. Employing an incognito, he settled on using his powers to protect while trying to balance his crime-fighting and civilian lives.

"*Someone important was taken from me too. I lost people special to me for no reason at all. And just like you, I had an opportunity for revenge. I had the guy who did it cornered, helpless. I could have finished him right there. But I realized it wouldn't have changed what happened. Worse, I would have become as bad as the creep who took them from me. Uncle Ben once said, "With great power comes great responsibility." I don't think I truly understood what he meant until that night. And my dad always said I could choose what kind of man I wanted to be. I chose to walk away, to be better. One day after that, I've been given a gift of great power. But in order to live up to my uncle's motto, I need to become something more than a celebrity... I need to become a symbol. A beacon of hope. I need to become... a hero. To be Spider-Man.*"

—Spider-Man, giving White Tiger his speech.

## Abilities and Powers

### Powers

* **Spider Physiology:**: Due to his infusion of spider DNA after being bitten by one of OsCorp's genetically altered spiders, he has gained the strength, speed, equilibrium and healing rate of a Common House Spider. He also gained a paranormal survival instinct, dubbed as his spider senses.
	+ **Superhuman Strength**: Spider-Man is far stronger than ordinary humans. He is strong enough to easily destroy mechanical robots from A.R.G.U.S. S.H.I.E.L.D and hold many tons of weight when needed. It is stated that Spider-Man can lift in max about 20 tons.
	+ **Superhuman Jumping**: Spider-Man's strength also extends into his legs which allows him to jump far higher and leap much further than a normal human.
	+ **Superhuman Speed**: Due to possessing the proportionate speed of a spider, Spider-Man can run at speeds greater than the finest Olympic athlete.
	+ **Superhuman Stamina**: Spider-Man is capable of exerting himself for days without any fatigue or passing out, despite his greatly increased metabolism.
	+ **Superhuman Durability**: Spider-Man's body is physically tougher and more resistant to some types of injury than the body of a normal human. He has endured blows from beings with strength much greater than his own, fallen many meters in the air, and even been hit through steel walls. However, he can easily be damaged through bladed weaponry or even the smallest firearms. He did endure being showered in super-heated water and being "nuggied" by the Hulk without harm.
	+ **Superhuman Agility**: Spider-Man is very agile and can easily do back flips in the air.
	+ **Superhuman Equilibrium**: After being bitten by the mutated spider, Spider-Man can balance himself on any object no matter how small or narrow it is.
	+ **Superhuman Reflexes**: Spider-Man's reflexes are above even the finest human athlete. He has shown that he can dodge strikes from beings with supernatural speed, gunfire and energy blasts.
	+ **Superhuman Senses**: Spider-Man's senses are greatly enhanced as he no longer needed his glasses after the spider's bite. He is able to sense, hear and see objects near to him.
	+ **Spider-Sense**: Spider-Man has a survival instinct to sense dangers that happens moments before it actually happens, which enhances his reflexes. It works like a alarm sound when danger is near. It cannot be replicated by any being due to its magical nature.
	+ **Wall-Crawling**: Spider-Man can crawl along any surface much like a spider would.
	+ **Accelerated Healing Factor**: Spider-Man's peak-human metabolism allows him to heal epithelial cells/tissues at a faster pace. However, it is likely that this healing ability will not heal damage done to vital organs nor regenerate amputated limbs.

### Abilities

* **Genius-Level Intellect**: Peter is a genius and has an I.Q of 205. He is more intelligent than some of the finest professors in the world. He was even able to find an antidote for a disease on his own, be able to operate Iron Man's armor and other extraordinary feats that would require genius intelligence.
* **Expert Hand-To-Hand Combatant**: Spider-Man has been extensively trained by Nick Fury and Iron Fist in various martial arts styles as well as to properly supplement it with his superhuman strength, speed, and reflexes. He often toys with his opponents in order for them to drop their guard, due to his seemingly childish nature.
* **Expert Leader**: Spider-Man is a remarkable leader and even led his own team to many great victories before being offered the Justice Avengers membership. He also shows remarkable proficiency with analyzing various tactics to create better combat tactics.
* **Stealth**: Spider-Man has shown to be highly skilled at stealth, even before being initiated in A.R.G.U.S. S.H.I.E.L.D. or the Justice Avengers.

### Equipment

Spider-Man's equipment primarily consists of a wide array of web-based gadgets that he uses to combat different opponents. He has access to eight such gadgets: the Web Shooter, the Impact Web, the Spider-Drone, the Electric Web, the Web Bomb, the Trip Mine, the Concussive Blast, and the Suspension Matrix. The gadgets are upgradeable and have unique features and abilities. The most basic gadget, the Web Shooter, is also a means of helping Spider-Man traverse the city of New York in addition to aiding him in combat. Similarly, the Electric Web can also be used to power certain electronic conduits.

Peter also makes use of highly-advanced suits throughout the course of the main story, with each suit coming with a signature power of its own. His primary suit is called the Advanced Suit, which he crafts after his Classic Suit becomes damaged early in the story. Peter later builds an armored version of the Advanced Suit, called the Anti-Ock Suit, in order to counter the mechanical appendages of Doctor Octopus.

## History

### Past

#### Early Life

Since he was young, Peter Parker was encouraged to pursue science by his uncle Ben, an optimistic person who also taught Peter a lesson in responsibility through his motto, "with great power comes great responsibility." While attending Midtown High, Peter befriended Harry Osborn, the son of OsCorp's CEO. The two remained friends even after Harry was accepted into an academy for geniuses, Horizon High.

When he returned home, Peter learned his parents were murdered by a burglar he surprised trying to break into their house. Fueled by rage, Peter suited up and confronted the murderer in the warehouse where the police had notified, he was holding up. As soon as Peter got a close look at the criminal's face, he realized it was the very same thief he didn't lift a finger to stop earlier that very same night.

When Peter returned home following the burglar's arrest, he discovered he had finally realized the true meaning behind his Uncle Ben's motto.

#### Becoming Spider-Man

During a school trip to OsCorp Tower, Peter was bitten by one of the experimental spiders that escaped during a breach. While reeling from the effects of the spider bite, Peter discovered he had developed amazing spider-like abilities. Still amazed by these new powers, Peter decided to approach this predicament using the five steps of the scientific method: observation, hypothesis, prediction, experimentation and conclusion.

While examining his new abilities, Peter developed two web-shooter bracelets to make up for the fact he didn't seem to inherit the spider's ability to generate webbing. Deciding to honor the memory of his family, Peter set out to use his powers to help people, while still keeping his identity a secret. With the resources from his house, Peter created a new refined costume and taking up the superhero alias of Spider-Man.
