Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man

Template:Spoiler

*"I've been trying to find your friend ever since I got here. I just have this sense that... that he needs my help."*
―Peter Parker to Michelle Jones and Ned Leeds[src]
**Peter Benjamin Parker** is a superhero whose body and DNA were mutated after being bit by a genetically-engineered spider, eventually operating in New York City as the friendly neighborhood **Spider-Man**. Spider-Man fought multiple villains throughout his career as the web-slinging vigilante, including Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, and Sandman. Eventually, after a tumultuous relationship, Parker and Mary Jane Watson became a stable couple.

Later, after being summoned to a parallel reality due to Doctor Strange's corrupted spell, Parker met that reality's Spider-Man, along with another alternate-reality Spider-Man. After learning that Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, and Sandman had also crossed universes, Parker engineered an anti-serum for Green Goblin for use in a subsequent battle on the Statue of Liberty. The three Spider-Men, and Doctor Octopus, fought against Green Goblin, Sandman, Electro, and Lizard to cure their afflictions. When the Spider-Man from Doctor Strange's universe attempted to kill Green Goblin for murdering his aunt May Parker, the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man compelled him to stand down. After all of their adversaries had been cured, Spider-Man embraced his alternate selves before being returned to his home universe by Strange.

## Biography

### Early Life

#### Life as Spider-Man

*"My Uncle Ben was killed. It was my fault."*
―Peter Parker[src]
Peter Benjamin Parker was bitten by a genetically engineered spider, which resulted in the alteration of his genetic makeup. He took on the mantle of Spider-Man to fight in a wrestling match, looking to win money. That same night he witnessed the death of his uncle, Ben Parker, who was accidentally killed by Flint Marko. Before dying, Ben told him that "with great power, comes great responsibility", but Parker still vindictively hunted down the man he thought had killed Ben, and he ended up dying as well. This prompted Parker to realize vengeance did not make him feel any better.

During his early years as Spider-Man, Parker faced villains like the Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, and Sandman, all very personally connected to him. The first two met their demise fighting Spider-Man, with the Green Goblin being impaled by his own glider and Octavius sacrificing himself to save the city from the machine he built by letting himself drown with it. During this time, Parker temporarily lost his ability to generate webs due to an existential crisis, which he later overcame. Unlike with the other villains, Spider-Man seemed to end his relationship with Sandman on good terms.

Parker also had his once best friend Harry Osborn attack him multiple times, with Osborn taking on the mantle of the New Goblin under the belief that Parker had killed his father. The duo's qualms eventually settled down, leading to Osborn sacrificing himself to save Spider-Man's life while fighting one of Spider-Man's most formidable enemies, Venom.

Over time, Parker and his girlfriend Mary Jane Watson successfully managed to work out their tumultuous relationship, despite the inconveniences of Parker's dual identity.

### Transported to Another Universe

#### Meeting His Other Versions

*"So you're Spider-Man, too. Why didn't you just say that?"
"I generally don't go around advertising it. Kinda defeats the whole anonymous superhero thing."*
―Ned Leeds and Peter Parker[src]
One day, Parker found himself transported into another universe's New York City. During his time there, Parker discovered that this universe's Spider-Man identity had been outed and he was in trouble fighting some of the enemies he fought in the past. As he walked around, an Inter-Dimensional Portal appeared before him and he found himself in someone's house. He was met by Ned Leeds and Michelle Jones, who he recognized from the news.

Leeds assumed he was a random person at first until he clarified his identity. Parker then spotted another Spider-Man and initially thought that was the Spider-Man native to Leeds' and Jones' universe before they quickly used their respective webs to shoot at the other. Both dodged their webs, and Parker shot his web at the other's web-shooter, before realizing the other person was another universe's Peter Parker and not the one he was looking for.

Parker told them that he sensed that their universe's Peter Parker needed help. He and the other Spider-Man then said that they needed to search for him on a place that might have meaning to him, saying that for him it was the top of the Chryster Building. Jones and Leeds led the two Parkers to the rooftop of Midtown School of Science and Technology where they found the other Parker in grief over the death of May Parker.

The two Parkers sympathized with the younger Spider-Man about May, and as Spider-Man was about to use the Machina de Kadavus to send the Multiverse travelers back to their native universes so that the villains would meet their intended fates, with some at the hands of the other two Spider-Men, Parker told him about the death of his uncle Ben Parker. After the other Spider-Man shared his experience with loss, Parker explained how he had chased the wrong man on a path of vengeance. When the younger Spider-Man recited his aunt's last words, "with great power comes great responsibility", Parker finished the sentence saying that those were his uncle's last words.

#### Working on a Cure

*"Gotta cure all of them, right?"
"Right."
"That's what we do."*
―Peter Parker and Peter Parker[src]
The Parkers agreed to work together and help to redeem the villains, and the younger Peter Parker took them to the Midtown School of Science and Technology. There, they began working in one of the laboratory rooms.

Parker started to make an antiserum for Norman Osborn, due to being something he had planned before. He also made sure that his younger counterpart realized that they should cure all the villains as they all deserved a second chance. As he was working on the antiserum, Ned Leeds asked him if he also had a best friend like his younger version, to which Parker replied that he indeed had a best friend that died in his arms after trying to kill him.

While they kept working on their cures, Parker asked one of his counterparts if he had someone like their younger version who had Michelle Jones, his counterpart replied by saying that having someone was not possible for guys like them. When said counterpart asked him if he had someone too, he replied that it was complicated but he ultimately made the relationship with his Mary Jane Watson work. With their cures ready, the Spider-Men got ready for battle and decided to lure the villains somewhere so they could cure them. When Leeds brought his younger version some cartridges for his Web-Shooters, Parker surprised everyone by showing that he could produce organic webbing.

#### Battle at Liberty Island

Template:Rewrite
The three Spider-Men arrived at the Statue of Liberty thanks to Ned Leeds opening a portal. Before the villains arrived, the three Parkers talked about their differences, with his two counterparts asking Spider-Man about his organic webbing to which Spider-Man said that he had not thought much about it. They also discussed all the villains the three had faced, with Spider-Man mentioning how he fought the alien Venom. After one of his counterparts felt that he was the worst out of the three as he did not face an alien like the others, Spider-Man assured his counterpart that he was an amazing Spider-Man.

Following this conversation, Electro arrived at the Statue of Liberty, followed by the Lizard and Sandman who started fighting the Spider-Men, with Spider-Man facing against Lizard while trying to tell his younger counterpart to give him the cure. Unfortunately, the web-slingers were unable to coordinate well, which lead them to being beaten by their enemies. The three quickly regrouped and talked about their coordination, with their younger counterpart assuming command due to his experience as part of the Avengers that the other two counterparts have not heard of. The three decided to focus on one target to take each enemy one at a time by coordinating their attacks and focusing on their Spider-Sense, they also established clear codename for themselves, with Parker being labeled as Peter-Two, their younger version Peter-One and the amazing Spider-Man being Peter-Three.

Spider-Man decided to lure Sandman inside the statue with his amazing counterpart meeting him at the top, as Spider-Man is chased by his old enemy he tells Sandman that they're trying to help him but the Sandman didn't listen, leading to Spider-Man almost being buried inside an avalanche of sand. Thankfully the amazing Spider-Man retrieved Sandman's cure and passed it to their younger counterpart who in turn delivered it to Spider-Man, who managed to neutralize Sandman. As Marko was cured, Spider-Man assured him that everything was going to be okay and that they would bring him home. The two Spider-Men attempted to take the Arc Reactor from Electro while their younger counterpart focused on curing the Lizard who was attacking Leeds and Michelle Jones. The two Spider-Men were then saved by Otto Octavius, who extracted the Arc Reactor from Electro and used the neutralizer on him, leaving Dillon powerless. Spider-Man later reunited with Octavius, who realized that Spider-Man had grown up since the last time he saw him.

#### Stopping the Green Goblin

*"You okay?"
"Yeah, I'm good. I've been stabbed before."*
―Spider-Man and Spider-Man[src]
Once the fight seemingly ended, Doctor Strange appeared and the other two Spider-Men met him. The wizard prepared to use the Machina de Kadavus and send everyone home. Just at that moment, the Green Goblin appeared and snuck a Pumpkin Bomb inside the magic box, which in turn detonated and released an unstable spell that caused a dimensional rift in New York City. The explosion also caused Michelle Jones to fall from the Statue of Liberty, with the youngest Peter Parker unable to save her due to the Goblin knocking him aside, fortunately she was saved by the amazing Spider-Man.

As dawn came, Spider-Man and his amazing counterpart saw how their younger version faced the Goblin, brutally beating him while being consumed with vengeance. When the young Spider-Man attempted to kill the Goblin with his own glider instead of curing him, Spider-Man stopped him from doing it as killing the Goblin would not make him feel better. Unfortunately, this noble action left Spider-Man open to get stabbed in the back by his old enemy, the amazing Spider-Man then provided the young Spider-Man with the antidote Spider-Man made, allowing him to cure Osborn from the Goblin and end his rampage. The cured Osborn then saw his old rival and realized the damage he had caused, though Spider-Man's injury was not fatal as he had been stabbed before.

#### Returning to his Universe

*"I want you to know that I..."
"You know. It's what we do."*
―Spider-Man and Spider-Man[src]
After being stabbed, Spider-Man was put under the care of one of his counterparts while their younger version went to help Doctor Strange fix the spell. Their younger counterpart then requested Strange to make everyone in the universe forget Parker's existence to fix the spell and send both the Spider-Men and their villains back to their universes, which lead to the three having a tearful goodbye where they all hugged while their younger version thanked them for everything. As Strange fixed the spell, the two Spider-Men said goodbye to each other before going back to their respective universes.

## Personality

*"The night Ben died, I hunted down the man who I thought did it. I wanted him dead. I got what I wanted. It didn't make it better. It took me a long time to learn to get through that darkness."*
―Peter Parker[src]
Parker possesses a strong sense of responsibility, as shown by how he still held guilt over indirectly causing his Uncle's death. This Parker is the most experienced out of all his counterparts due to all the years he spent as being Spider-Man. Parker had fought the Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, Sandman, the New Goblin, and Venom during those years, with each enemy testing his morals. Due to this, he is also the most mature of the three Spider-Men. Slightly more quiet and reserved but still nonetheless willing to joke and be lighthearted.

As a result of the events he has faced in his life, Parker developed a strict sense of justice and a code against killing people, including his own villains, as he stopped his counterpart from killing Norman Osborn out of revenge for him killing one of his loved ones as Green Goblin, because he knew deep down, there was still goodness within Osborn. The empathy he shows to his enemies is even sometimes reciprocated as is the case with Otto Octavius, with whom he is on very good terms with, as Octavius even helps the Spider-Men during their battle against the other villains.

	+ **Superhuman Durability**: As a result of getting bit by a genetically enhanced spider, Spider-Man has enhanced durability levels that helped him survive in the war to fight his past enemies. He was able to survive being stabbed by Green Goblin's blade saying that he had been stabbed multiple times before.
	+ **Superhuman Speed**: As a result of getting bit by a genetically enhanced spider, Spider-Man has enhanced speeds which allow him to easily dodge attacks from many of his formidable opponents, when combined with his precognitive Spider-Sense.
	+ **Superhuman Agility**: As a result of getting bit by a genetically enhanced spider, Spider-Man has enhanced agility which allows him to easily dodge attacks from many of his formidable opponents, when combined with his precognitive Spider-Sense.

		- **Spider-Sense**: Spider-Man possesses a precognitive Spider-Sense which provides an early warning detection system that alerts him to impending danger, enabling him to evade most injuries unless he cognitively overrides his automatic high-speed reflexes. His sense was powerful enough that as soon as he was brought into a different universe, he knew that somewhere in New York the alternate Spider-Man needed his help, so he sought out to find him.
	+ **Regenerative Healing Factor**: After the spider bite, he has developed a strong regenerative healing factor that allows him to heal from wounds faster than most humans. Thanks to this he was able to survive several deadly attacks in his past, and being stabbed by the Green Goblin with relative ease.
	+ **Biological/Organic Webbing Generation**: Unlike his two counterparts, Spider-Man can generate and project his webbing from glands inside his forearms, His "spinnerets" to be exact. The silk is released through a spinneret near each wrist containing a central web spigot orifice used for web-slinging and draglines, supplemented by several radial minor spigots for other types of webs connected to specialized glands. He can utilize his organic webbing in any way he can, such as grabbing onto objects or rounding up individuals. The process is effortless for him, as he states it is like breathing. However, he can momentarily lose this ability if he becomes overly stressed.
	+ **Wall-Crawling**: Unlike his two Peter Parker counterparts, this Spider-Man has sharp, "barbed" like material on his hands, allowing him to stick to any surface, no matter how rough or slippery.
