Peter Parker

**Peter Benjamin** "**Pete**" **Parker** (ピーター・ベンジャミン・“ディック”・パーカー, *Pītā Benjamin "Pīto" Pākā*), also codenamed as "**Spider-Man**" (スパイダーマン, *Supaidāman*), is fictional character and protagonists of the *Marvel* series. He is a web-slinging superhero from New York City, who fights crime, using his spider-like superhuman abilities and web gadgets of his own design.

Peter gained his powers after being bitten by a radioactively-modified spider at the age of 15. Employing a secret identity, he settled on using his newly developed superpowers to protect the citizens of New York City as the superhero Spider-Man. Eight years into his superhero career, Peter has become an experienced and masterful crime fighter, but struggles to balance his superhero and personal lives.

Spider-Man is aided in his crime-fighting by intrepid *Daily Bugle* reporter Mary Jane Watson. In an argument with J. Jonah Jameson, Tony Stark had mentioned that the Daily Bugle had spread a lot of slander towards the web=head over the years despite the fact that he protected the public from various crimes.

"*I talked to the police, the firemen, the people that you helped and I heard their stories about how you saved lives, how you never asked for recognition, or reward or even thanks, it doesn't matter what the newspapers say or the politicians or the whole world, they don't define who you are, you do and not by your words, but, by your actions. The truth will come out, but, until then I'm going to keep fighting just like you do.*"

—Captain America to Spider-Man.
