Peter Parker (Earth-616)

**Spider-Man**, also known by his real name, **Peter Benjamin Parker**, is the Spider-Man from the primary Marvel Universe.

## Appearance

As Spider-Man, Peter wears the classic red and blue suit throughout his career and while he has worn several other suits, he always finds himself returning to wearing this costume. It is made from a skintight cloth, most likely Spandex or similar. The costume is mostly blue with red gloves, boots, mid-section, and a mask. Peter designed a web pattern that covers the red portions of the suit, starting at the mask. The suit also has a black spider in the center of the chest and a larger red spider on the back, both of different designs. The mask has plastic lenses with a chrome covering that allows Peter to see out, without letting others see in. The lenses also protect Peter's eyes from dust particles and the glare of the sun while he is swinging through the city. Also, the mask helps to conceal Peter's identity by muffling his voice, thus making it unrecognizable to others. He also wears a twin set of web shooters on his wrists under the gloves. A web cartridge belt is also worn under the suit, which has a spider signal on the buckle. Originally the suit had webbing-like material under the arms that Peter affectionately called "Web-pits" though they soon vanished from the costume and would appear off and on over the years when the series changed artists. The suit also contains a special earpiece that protects Spider-Man from the effects of Hobgoblin's sonic attack and the lenses were updated to protect him from Iguana's hypnotic stare.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

* **Spider-Physiology** - Spider-Man possesses the proportionate powers of a spider, granted to him from an irradiated Common House Spider (*Achaearanea tepidariorum*) which bit Peter Parker that was apparently already mutated from prior exposure to certain frequencies of radiation and received a final, lethal dose during Parker's attendance of the exhibition.
	+ Wall-Crawling - Spider-Man can manipulate inter-atomic interaction between atoms to create molecular bonds to stick to any surface, no matter how rough or slippery. This ability appears to be consciously used and is so far limited to Spider-Man's body, usually concentrated in his hands and feet (but he has also used his back to stick to walls as well), and another object, with an upper limit of several tons per finger.
	+ Superhuman Strength - Possessing the proportionate strength of a spider, Spider-Man is far stronger than ordinary humans; for example, he can effortlessly press lift to 10 tons. Spider-Man's strength lets him effortlessly lift and throw automobiles and most standard heavy objects, he is so strong that he can send normal humans flying several feet away with a single punch or kick and can break a door open with just a single punch or kick, he must always pull his punches and kicks so he doesn't, unless fighting someone the same power status as him or greater, to avoid fatalities, Otherwise, his blows would be instantly lethal, he was able to overpower The Scorpion and The Rhino, able to hurt Venom and Carnage, and punch and kick through The Lizard's thick hard scaly skin, He can easily overpower normal humans, destroy everyday items with one strike such as his alarm clock, break apart guns, and lifted tanks, supported fallen multi-story buildings and freed himself from under tons of rubble, swing at high velocities on a rope or web and shattered steel chains by just flexing his muscles.
	+ Superhuman Speed - Possessing the proportionate speed of a spider, Spider-Man is much faster than normal humans; for example, his reflexes are faster than an average human by about the factor of 40 (he is always able to dodge bullets, even at point-blank) and are capable of running and moving at speeds that are beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete. Spider-Man's speed allows him to utilize his quick reflexes, it also helps him in both hand-to-hand combat and shooting webs, though the exact extent of this speed has yet to be determined, he was able to run so fast that he caught up with any speeding car on a highway, he is capable of dodging bullets and lightning, even at point-blank range. Spider-Man moves faster than the eye can see, even appearing, disappearing, and reappearing as a blur.
	+ Superhuman Stamina - Spider-Man has much more stamina than normal humans; for example, he can perform physically active without getting tired.
	+ Superhuman Durability - His overall body is generally tougher, stronger, and more durable than any normal human being, as such he has survived things that would outright kill any non-superpowered human. These include, but aren't limited to, electrocution, smash-through brick walls, incendiary grenades, demolition explosives, pipe bombs, and falls from hundreds of feet. Note that he survives all of this with minor to no physical injuries and just gets back up only slightly disoriented. In one incident he survives a single hit from the Hulk (whose punches are strong enough to pulverize tanks and helicopters), though he stated he couldn't survive more than one hit. Spider-Man has also weathered blows from such superhuman adversaries as Venom, Carnage, the Lizard, Rhino, Sandman, Scorpion, and even the Juggernaut. His durability isn't powerful enough to shrug off sharp blades, such as a knife or bullets, and strong enough blows that, while not necessarily lethal, can still knock him out.
	+ Superhuman Agility - Possessing the proportionate agility of a spider, Spider-Man is far more agile than normal humans; for example, His equilibrium, dexterity, and flexibility are all enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete. He is 25 times more agile than any normal human being. Spider-Man is extraordinarily limber and his tendons and connective tissues are twice as elastic as the most dexterous human being. He has the combined balance and acrobatic prowess of the 95 Olympic-level acrobats. He can highly leap a distance of a width of a New York City Street and highly jump up to 5 stories even without a running start. He can also perform any complicated sequence of gymnastic stunts such as flips, rolls, spins, cartwheels, contortions, somersaults, and springs with ease. Spider-Man is also amazingly adaptive at dodging projectile attacks, even bullets fired from multiple shooters at once.
	+ Superhuman Equilibrium - Spider-Man possesses the ability to achieve a state of perfect equilibrium in any position imaginable. He seems able to adjust his position by instinct, which enables him to balance himself on any object, no matter how small or narrow. He has developed a unique fighting style that has made full use of his speed, agility, strength, and equilibrium.
	+ Superhuman Reflexes - Spider-Man's reflexes are much faster than normal humans; for example, he can dodge or counter any attack, including gunfire, even at point-blank range. Spider-Man's Spider-Sense also greatly further amplifies his superhuman reflexes because he can preempt danger before it happens.
	+ Spider-Sense - Being his most important superpower, When danger is present, Spider-Man feels a buzzing sensation in his skull as a sort of early warning detection system, allowing him to react automatically and casually. His spider-sense offers a psychological awareness of his surroundings, such as dodging frontal enemy attacks, using it as a radar to act, fight and navigate while blind, using the sensory focus on it, and it alone to find and track his targets, and any form of sneak and surprise attacks are useless against him, and in conjunction with his reflexes, allows him to instinctively dodge or counter all attacks, it also manifests itself if his secret identity is about to be compromised before it is, it is also effective even if he is drunk, blindfolded, asleep, or even stunned, this power is incorporated in his fighting style, making him an almost impossible opponent for any combatant to defeat, Peter can choose to ignore it through intense concentration, though it gets difficult as the more threatening the danger is, or it can lose some effectiveness if he is exhausted or distracted. The spider sense is also completely passive and endlessly uncontrollable.

### Abilities

* Indomitable Will - Spider-Man has a strong force of will, completely free of evil and temptation, he is incapable of doing anything evil or unjust. He has struggled to balance his life as a student and his superhero duties.
* Genius Intellect - Possessing a keen scientific mind that is gifted, Peter displays an uncanny affinity for science, such as biochemistry, forensics, and physics, as well as is skilled in mathematics, mechanics, and technology. He is so intelligent, that he perfected his father's webbing formula and constructed working mechanical web-shooters and tracking devices, he can understand and solve any complex problems and is also an amazingly skilled tactician, inventor, engineer, and detective as he is capable of solving mysteries, crimes, and cases. He is also capable of making incredibly annoying jokes which irritate both his allies and enemies.
	+ Science Major - He is a brilliant individual, with exceptional skill in every field of science, and is an excellent inventor. He is an accomplished chemist and physicist as well as expertise in biology, engineering, and mechanics. He possesses enough competency in this field to invent his trademark web shooters.
* Skilled Photographer - Peter is a very skilled photographer and has worked for the Daily Bugle and the Front Line as a photographer.
* Expert Acrobat - Due to their superhuman physical abilities, Peter, as Spider-Man, surpasses normal acrobats and can perform somersaults, flips, spins, cartwheels, etc., and uses these to dodge or counter any attack, such as gunfire, even in the air.
* Expert Combatant - Thanks to his amazing superhuman spider physiology, acrobatic powers and abilities, and spider-sense, Spider-Man is highly a formidable hand-to-hand combatant and martial artist, having used a fighting style derived from his spider-like powers and abilities, he made his street style that could rival virtually any combatant out of sheer volatility to standard fighting techniques (e.g. webbing, wall-crawling, super reflexes, super speed, super agility, super strength to lift heavy objects, etc.) Using a mixture of his superhuman strength, speed, agility, jumping, equilibrium, leaping, reflexes, spider-sense, intelligence, and web shooters, Peter can utilize a devastating martial art/acrobatic fighting style by using his punching and kicking moves which makes him a dangerous opponent and allowed him to easily take down thugs, cops (it be regular officers or SWAT officers), super villains and even superiorly skilled superhero fighters, such as Captain America, Daredevil, and The Punisher.
* Web-Slinging - Spider-Man uses his trademark web shooters to travel by swinging on web lines. Combined with his spider powers and abilities, he can move at amazing speeds throughout the urban chasms of Manhattan. It is unknown how fast but it's fast enough to keep up with trains and cars on the road (and depending on traffic can move faster than them).
