Spider-Man/Earth-616

"
My name is Peter B. Parker. I was bitten by a radioactive spider. And for the last twenty-two years, I thought I was the one and only Spider-Man. I'm pretty sure you know the rest. Y'see, I saved the city, fell in love, I got married, saved the city some more, maybe too much, my marriage got testy, made some dicey money choices; don’t invest in a Spider-themed restaurant. Then, like, fifteen years passed, blah, blah, blah, super boring, I broke my back, a drone flew into my face, I buried aunt May, my wife and I... split up. But I handled it like a champion. 'Cause, you know what, no matter how many times I get hit, I always get back up.
"

He despises even hearing the phrase "with great power, comes great responsibility." His demeanor turns snarky and cynical, dismissing the idea of becoming a mentor and appearing self-centered. Yet, when he journeys through Miles' reality, confronting his own past and mentoring Miles, his heroic spirit rekindles. This renewal of purpose helps him regain confidence and self-worth.

Reuniting with Mary Jane Watson and raising his daughter, Mayday, brings newfound joy and pride to Peter's life. His compassion and self-respect return, painting a brighter picture for his future.
