## Biography

### Early Life

Peter was presumably born in 1997 to Richard and Mary Parker. However, his parents died when Peter was very young, as he never had a chance to even know how father. Instead, he was adopted by his dad's older brother and sister-in- law. Growing up in Forest Hills, Queens, New York City, Peter considered them as if they were his own parents. They raised him highly through morals and ethics especially his uncle's motto, "With great power comes great responsibility," Peter also had very fond memories of his uncle entertained him with magic tricks.

Peter and his family were also neighbors of the Watsons and he often played with the Watsons' daughter, Mary Jane Watson. They were only permitted to play in the front yard and never past the street. At twelve years old, Peter and MJ tried to "get serious" and kissed each other on a park bench. However, the two were disgusted by the kiss, deciding to remain best friends even until high school.

Peter was often bullied by Flash Thompson, who loved shoving him in lockers, forced him to do his homework, etc. He was also classmates with Harry Osborn but weren't friends until much later and only knew him from school.

### Befriending Harry

On his way home, Peter's bike blew out a tire, leaving him stranded in the rain. However, a car pulled up, revealing the owner to be Harry Osborn, who offered him a ride home and Peter accepted it. He was introduced to Harry's father, Norman Osborn, the billionaire and philanthropist who was the CEO of Oscorp Industries. Mr. Osborn took an immediate liking to Peter, hoping Harry could use a friend like him due to his struggles in school. Despite just meeting them, Peter noticed tensity between the two. He reassured Harry that he was lucky to have a father pushing him, as he was doing it because he cared. Mr. Osborn asked if Peter was talking from experience; however, Peter informed Harry and Norman he never had the chance to know his father. Instead, he had his uncle Ben make him the person he was today. Osborn ended up further impressed with Peter and started smiling. Harry told Peter no one was ever able to do that before and asked how he did it. Peter just answered "It's a gift."

After that day, Peter and Harry ended up becoming best friends, and in the same friend group with Peter's next door neighbor MJ. With Harry as his best friend, Harry often had his best friends' back, even defending Peter from Flash

### Becoming Spider-Man

At fifteen years old, on a class field trip to Oscorp, Peter was bitten by one of their genetically altered, radioactive spiders. The bite granted him arachnid based powers, including wall crawling and enhanced his strength and senses. Using his intellect, Peter designed himself a Spider-Man suit and developed his own gadgets, such as the Web Shooters.

#### Losing Uncle Ben

However, Peter used the new powers rather recklessly which led him to lose Ben when his uncle was killed by a robber. Filled with vengeance, Peter chased after his uncle's killer and had cornered him. Realizing he was becoming a monster, Peter left his uncle's killer alone and left him webbed, turning him over to the authorities. Afterwards, it was just him and Aunt May.

The encounter taught Peter to use his powers by living by the "great power and great responsibility" by fighting crime and many other threats in New York. Over the next year, despite his good intentions, Peter faced backlash as Spider-Man, due to many lies Jameson spread through his broadcasting on the *Daily Bugle* and unintentionally causing damage at the scene. However he has a hands full of supporters, ironically gaining his tornenter, Flash as a fan as well. Prior to joining Shield, Peter had an unpleasant run-in with Electro and gained the Frightful Four as enemies.
