Amazing Spider-Man

Template:Spoiler

*"I'm Peter Parker."
"That's not possible."
"I'm Spider-Man in my world. But then yesterday, I was... I was just here."*
―Spider-Man and Michelle Jones[src]
**Peter Benjamin Parker** is a superhero who possesses spider-like abilities and operates in New York City as **Spider-Man.** In the past, Spider-Man fought against Lizard and Electro, who terrorized his home city. However, after failing to save Gwen Stacy from falling to her death, a guilt-ridden Parker fell victim to his own rage.

Due to an error in Doctor Strange's spell, Spider-Man was summoned to that universe and met that reality's Spider-Man alongside another Spider-Man from a different universe. He also became acquainted with Michelle Jones and Ned Leeds. Soon after, he recreated an antidote for Lizard for use in the subsequent battle at Liberty Island, in which the three Spider-Men along with Otto Octavius fought against several villains to get them cured of their afflictions. During the fight, Spider-Man managed to make up for his past failure by saving Jones from a long fall. After the villains 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

*"I lost Gwen. She... she was my MJ."*
―Spider-Man[src]
Peter Parker was bitten by a genetically enhanced spider and became the superhero Spider-Man after failing to stop his uncle Ben Parker's death, embracing the responsibility he preached. Parker also had a girlfriend named Gwen Stacy, who was aware of his dual identity.

Throughout his time as Spider-Man, he made enemies with the likes of Curt Connors, a brilliant scientist who became the Lizard due to injecting himself with the prototype of a regenerative serum. Spider-Man and Lizard clashed when the latter tried to turn everyone in New York City into lizards like himself. Spider-Man defeated Lizard by administering him an anti-serum that transformed him back to his human form.

Spider-Man later fought Max Dillon, also known as Electro, an electrical tradesman who gained powers after falling into a tank filled with enhanced electric eels. Spider-Man was left with no other option but to kill Electro by overcharging him.

Parker's girlfriend Stacy died as a result of him being unable to save her from falling to her death. Guilt-ridden, Parker held this to his heart forever, and he was never able to forgive himself. Following her death, Spider-Man started to develop destructive tendencies, becoming engulfed in bitterness and becoming aggressive until he finally realized what had come of him.

Spider-Man also fought the Russian criminal Aleksei Sytsevich in a rhinoceros suit of mechanical armor, who was known as the Rhino.

### Spider-Man Multiversal Crisis

#### Brought to Another Universe

Template:Expand

*"Wow. String theory... Multidimensional reality... And matter displacement. All real?"*
―Spider-Man to Michelle Jones and Ned Leeds[src]
In 2024 in another universe, a failure in Doctor Strange casting the Runes of Kauf-Kaul to make people forget that his Peter Parker is Spider-Man, he accidentally summoned people across the Multiverse who knew this information, including Spider-Man while he was fighting crime. Using his scientific knowledge of string theory and the Multiverse, Spider-Man deduced that he was in another universe. As Spider-Man navigated the new world, a Inter-Dimensional Portal to the Leeds Residence opened in front of him, where he saw Ned Leeds and Michelle Jones calling out for their friend, their universe's Peter Parker.

Spider-Man went through the portal completely suited up, frightening Leeds' grandmother. As he unmasked, Spider-Man introduced himself as the Peter Parker of his universe. After a suspicious Jones asked him to prove his identity, Spider-Man crawled on the ceiling to help Leeds' grandmother, causing Jones and Leeds to realize that they had summoned an entirely different Spider-Man.

Jones urged Leeds to continue searching for their Peter Parker by opening another portal. Instead, they summoned another alternate Peter Parker, who was older. Spider-Man confronted his older counterpart, who realized that he was not Leeds' and Jones' Parker, and shot a web at him, only for the older Parker to shoot a web back and perform a flip, proving that he was another Spider-Man.

The older Parker explained that he had seen Leeds and Jones on the news, and sensed that their universe's native Peter Parker needed help. As the older Parker urged Leeds and Jones to think of where their friend would go to clear his mind, Spider-Man admitted that for him, it was the Empire State Building because of the view, while the older Parker preferred the Chrysler Building.

The group located the native Spider-Man atop the Midtown School of Science and Technology, who was still devastated over the death of his aunt May Parker. Spider-Man attempted to console his younger alternate self, explaining that he was familiar with loss, but the younger Parker stopped him, too distraught over his own mistakes to listen or care. The younger Spider-Man confessed that he no longer wished to save anyone and simply wanted them to return to their universes.

Before the younger Parker could use the Machina de Kadavus to send them home, the older Parker explained that he lost his uncle Ben Parker because of his own actions, and witnessing the death of Ben's supposed killer didn't ease the pain. In conjunction, to help his younger alternate self cope and realize that he was not alone, Spider-Man confessed his own guilt of not being able to save his girlfriend, Gwen Stacy, admitting how her death made him rageful, bitter, and violent. Both Spider-Man and his older counterpart explained to the younger Spider-Man that they did not want him to lead a path of darkness like them, encouraging him to honor his aunt May's final wish by curing all the Multiversal villains.

After managing to convince his alternate self, the group decided to retreat to a laboratory in order to engineer cures for their past enemies. Parker decided to develop Lizard' anti-serum, having made one before, while his older counterpart created the one for Green Goblin. The Parkers, Jones, and Leeds together engineered cures for Lizard and Sandman and devised a plan to bring their adversaries all to one spot using the Machina de Kadavus as a lure.

#### Battle at Liberty Island

Parker and his counterparts then traveled to the Statue of Liberty, using an Inter-Dimensional Portal opened by Ned Leeds. While that universe's Parker deliberately broadcasted their location, Parker cracked the other Parker's back to ease his back pain, relating to what he was feeling.

Parker then asked how that Parker was able to naturally shoot webs without the need for Web-Shooters. As that universe's Parker asked what kinds of villains they had faced, the older Parker discussed having fought a black Symbiote. The native Parker told them about fighting a purple alien in space and one on Earth, much to both of their surprises. Parker expressed a desire to fight aliens of his own, feeling that he was "lame" for fighting men like the Rhino, prompting the oldest Spider-Man to assure him that he was amazing in his own way.

The three Spider-Men suddenly sensed that Electro had arrived, followed by Lizard and Sandman. Spider-Man faced Lizard and attempted to obtain the cure from the younger Spider-Man but failed to coordinate well with his counterparts, leading to several early setbacks. As they regrouped, Parker and the older Parker both announced that they had never worked as a team and didn't know how. The native Parker took command due to his experience with the Avengers, although Parker and the other were unaware of what the Avengers were as they didn't exist in their home universes. The native Parker urged them to trust their Spider-Sense, and the three decided to coordinate their attacks by focusing on one villain at a time, as well as naming each other, by Peter-One, Peter-Two, and Peter-Three. Parker was listed as Peter-Three. Returning to battle, Parker retrieved Sandman's cure and passed it on to the older Parker.

Parker and the older Parker attempted to steal the Arc Reactor from Electro, but were overwhelmed by his electricity powers. They were saved by Otto Octavius, who swapped the Arc Reactor with the cure, depriving Electro of his powers. Parker then spoke with Electro, who had been returned to his normal self as Dillon, who lamented that he would return to being a nobody as no one recognized him. However, Parker assured Dillon that he never was a nobody in their universe. Dillon then told Parker that he had hoped he had been black though, wondering if there was a black Spider-Man out there.

Afterwards, Doctor Strange arrived and was introduced to Parker and the older Parker by the native Parker. Before they could talk further, Green Goblin suddenly arrived, attacking them with Razor Bats, and stealing the Machina de Kadavus from Strange. When Strange retrieved the Machina, all Parkers noticed a Pumpkin Bomb inside it, and became alarmed. It detonated, destroying the Machina and unleashing the unstable spell, which caused a dimensional rift in the Multiverse to open in the city. This action also toppled the Statue of Liberty, causing Michelle Jones to fall off the scaffolding. When the native Parke leaped to catch her, the Green Goblin knocked him aside, forcing Parker to jump down and save her himself. Redeemed for his failure to save Gwen Stacy when she died in a similar way, he became emotional but soon composed himself.

#### Returning to his Universe

As dawn broke, Spider-Man watched in concern as the younger Spider-Man faced off against Green Goblin and violently beat him down, intending to avenge the death of his May Parker. Before the younger Parker could deal the fatal blow, however, the older Spider-Man intervened, but was promptly stabbed by Green Goblin. As the older Spider-Man managed to survive, Spider-Man and his younger counterpart injected Green Goblin with the cure, restoring his sanity and vanquishing his Green Goblin alter ego.

Spider-Man tended to his older counterpart, who was not mortally injured as he had been stabbed before, as the younger Spider-Man helped Doctor Strange fix the spell by modifying it so that the world would no longer remember him. The three Spider-Men embraced and exchanged goodbyes as Strange casted the Runes of Kauf-Kaul, returning all the Multiversal travellers to their home universes.

## Personality

*"I couldn't save her. I'm never going to be able to forgive myself for that. But I carried on, tried to... tried to keep going. Tried to keep being that... that friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, because I know that's what she would've wanted, but... at some point I just... I stopped pulling my punches. I got rageful. I got bitter."*
―Spider-Man[src]
Following the death of Gwen, this Peter Parker carried on for a while as Spider-Man. However, Parker later found himself bitter and anguished. Despite his former more aggressive ways of treating his enemies, he is still good at heart, and wanted to find Peter Parker to stop him from turning out like he did. He also contains a sense of humor and overall kind demeanor, frequently making jokes with others and even helping an alternate Spider-Man pop his back into place before the battle. He does seem to contain a rebellious nature, as upon being discovered by Ned Leeds and Michelle Jones, he was refusing initially to crawl around on the ceiling to prove he is Peter Parker believing hanging from it was good enough, though he does eventually relent after Leed's grandmother asks him to clean some cobwebs out of the ceiling since he was already up there. This Spider-Man also has a love of science and biology, as when he learned of the older Spider-Man's organic webbing, instead of being disgusted, he was curious how it worked and was examining the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man's arm even asking him how it worked later on. He also develops a strong bond with the other Spider-Men, to the point where he sees them as brothers, he even tells them that he loves them before the final battle. He also shows great concern for the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man after he was stabbed by Green Goblin rushing to his side immediately after giving Parker the cure for Osborn.

Despite his best attempts to put on a positive front, Parker is pessimistic and is hurting very much inside following Stacy's death, having a low opinion of himself, viewing himself as inferior to his counterparts. Upon learning that his counterparts have fought aliens, Parker was envious of them as he hasn't fought an alien, lamenting that the craziest guy he ever fought was Rhino. This attitude changed, however, after the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man comforts him, reassuring him that he was not only a great Spider-Man, but an Amazing one who needed to stop beating himself up so much.

After saving Jones from falling to her death, Parker instantly breaks down and begins crying, having given himself much needed closure and redemption for Stacy's death. Following the end of the battle, Parker is noticeably happier and excited like his younger counterpart, openly embracing his counterparts before being sent back to his universe.

On another note, he shares his counterparts intelligence being pleased to hear the history about the multi-verse was accurate. He also shares the same wisdom as his other experienced counterpart by sharing the loss of his loved one.

		- **Spider-Sense**: A tingling sensation in Parker's skull warns him of danger, where it is coming from and how to avoid it. This power is passive and not fully controlled by Peter. Upon meeting Michelle Jones and Ned Leeds, he said that his tingle only triggers if something could actually hurt him or others near-by, as it didn't trigger off when a piece of bread was thrown at him, similar to his younger counterpart's Spider-Sense as he also did not trigger when a banana was thrown at him by May Parker.
	+ **Regenerative Healing Factor**: As a result of the spider bite, Spider-Man regenerates from his injuries faster and more extensively than a normal human.

The web cartridges can hold multiple capsules at once.
	+ **Synthetic Webbing**: Utilising Oscorp's Bio-Cable technology, Parker can generate webs that are a shear-thinning liquid, virtually solid until a shearing force is applied to it, rendering it fluid, whose exact formula remains unknown, but is rumored to be related to nylon.
