## History

### Human Spider Suit

After recieving his powers from a bite of a genetically engineered super spider, Peter Parker decided to use his newfound powers to earn money, so he could buy a car to impress his next-door neighbour, Mary Jane Watson, when he was inspired by her boyfriend's Flash Thompson's car. After designing several costumes, Peter ultimately chose a spider suit, using the colors from the spider that bit him, red and blue. While creating his suit, he took the time to design a homemade, wrestling suit which were: a red shirt with spider emblems on the front and back, a red balaclava, white and red gloves, blue pants and red shoes.

Peter wore his wrestling suit during the wrestling area when he fought Bone Saw McGraw, calling himself the Human Spider, though the announcer called him: Spider-Man. Peter later used his wrestling suit to hunt down the man, who he thought killed his beloved Uncle Ben.

### First Suit

Following his high school graduation, Peter decided to use his powers for a more noble purpose; to help others in need, by undertaking vigilantism. He discarded his wrestling suit, but kept it and finished designing a skin-tight red and blue suit that was based on an arachnid. The suit had sliver web patterns on the red portions of the suit, starting from the mask, with triangular lenses that allow Peter to see through, but no one can see in, and a black spider emblem sitting on the chest, along with a large red spider on the back of the shirt, both in different designs.

Peter used this suit to fight crime as his alter-ego, Spider-Man, a name he borrowed from the wrestling announcer at the arena. He, as Spider-Man fought many criminals and stopped multiple crimes in the process, along with going into a conflict with his first superpowered opponent; the Green Goblin.

#### Battle at the Queensboro Bridge

Peter wore his Spider-Man suit when he went on a mission to save Mary Jane and a tram loaded with children held hostage by the Green Goblin at the Queensboro Bridge. During his final battle with the Green Goblin, the Spider-Man Suit was heavily damaged when Spider-Man was thrown into an abandoned building, tearing it up, including his mask. The Green Goblin was killed by his own glider when he attempted to impale Spider-Man from behind, but the superhero dodged out of the way, thanks to his spider-sense. Spider-Man, still in his tethered suit, gently carried Norman's body back to his penthouse.

As a result of his damaged suit, Peter discarded it and redesigned his suit to replace the old one, while making spare suits in case any of them get damaged or ripped.

### Webbed Suit

Peter wore his current suit, which had different designs; the red portions were brighter, the blue portions were darker, the web pattern was brighter and the spider emblems on the front and back were in new different designs. He continued to use his updated suit when he fought crime in New York City, even though Peter was struggling to balance his double life as Spider-Man and his normal civilian life. Peter went to the nearby washing machine shop, to wash his Spider-Man outfit, while trying to keep it hidden so his secret identity wouldn't be exposed after it was finished washing, though the red and blue portions from the suit had tainted some pants and socks.

#### Spider-Man: No More

Because of him trying to balance his double life, Peter started to suffer an emotional breakdown, which caused him to have web blocks that prevented his organic webbing from shooting out of his wrists, and eventually his powers to stop working. Once he realised he lost his powers, Peter gave up being Spider-Man and tossed his suit in a trash bin. The suit was later picked up by a garbage man and brought it to the *Daily Bugle*, which J. Jonah Jameson kept it on the wall.

#### He's Back

After witnessing Doctor Octopus abducting Mary Jane Watson to lure Spider-Man into a trap, the shock causes Peter's powers to return. He stealthily headed to the Bugle, donning his costume again after quickly webbing it away from the wall, leaving a large web with a note to Jameson, saying: "Courtesy, your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man". Jameson was enraged over "his" suit being taken, when it was really Peter's suit, he immediately started continuing his smear campaign against the wall-crawler.

Throughout his fight with Doctor Octopus on a subway train and in his hideout, the Spider-Man Suit was again damaged, recieving several rips and torns over it. Luckily enough, the mask was spared from being ripped. After the death of Doctor Octopus and the destruction of his fusion reactor, Spider-Man discarded his suit and wore one of his spare suits, continuing to fight for justice in New York.

### Life as Spider-Man

Peter Parker continued to wear his Spider-Man suit when he fought numerous crimes in New York and going into conflicts with new villains, Sandman, New Goblin and Venom. He temporarily stopped wearing his red and blue suit, when a black alien symbiote bonded to him and changed his suit to full black. This enhanced his powers, but it tried to make him arrogant and aggressive, making him lash out on those he cared. When he realised what the symbiote was doing to him, Peter rejected the symbiote and returned to his friendly red and blue suit. He wore his suit during his final battle with Venom and Sandman, though it got damaged again when taking fights with the villains. Following the battle, Peter either repaired it or used one of his spare suits to continue operating as Spider-Man.

### Multiversal Adventure

#### Arrival to Earth-199999

When he was unintentionally transported from Earth-96283 to Earth-199999, Peter wore his Spider-Man Suit beneath his casual clothes and was looking for his counterpart when he found out to his horror, that he was framed by Mysterio for crimes he didn't commit and had his identity exposed publically. When Peter Parker (Earth-120703) asked him if he had his suit with him, Peter showed him he had his suit by revealing it under his shirt during their time creating cures for the villains, who also arrived to Earth-199999, so they can have a better chance.
