Peter Parker

Peter Benjamin Parker is the superhero known as the Amazing Spider-Man or simply Spider-Man, and is the son of Richard and Mary Parker. Orphaned at the age of seven, Peter was raised by his aunt and uncle over the course of the next few years. Parker's search for answers about the mystery of his parents and their deaths eventually drove him to investigating the establishment of Oscorp, having learned that their employee, Dr. Curt Connors, had been close friends with his father. While at Oscorp, during the year 2013, Peter was bitten by a genetically enhanced Oscorp Spider, becoming a cross-species hybrid and gaining several superhuman powers, such as enhanced speed, strength, and the ability to stick to walls. Though Peter's new talents fascinated him, his ultimate failure to learn anything more about his parents only increased his obsession further: he took to inordinately studying his father's briefcase and the notes and items contained within, and even personally visited Connors. Peter learned from Connors that his father had worked with him in the field of cross-species in the hopes of curing several paramount disabilities, such as Connor's lack of an arm, and that his father had been the one to breed the Oscorp Spiders, disappearing shortly afterwards and taking the research he had used with him. Though Peter's new friendship with Connors and the attempts to find a remedy soon yielded successful experimental results, Peter began to neglect his relationships with his loved ones, ultimately leading Ben's death at the hands of a shoplifter. In the hope of eradicating likewise crimes occurring across his neighborhood, Peter decided to put his powers to use as a vigilante, dubbing himself Spider-Man. Spider-Man's efforts drew him into conflict with the New York Police Department and their captain, George Stacy, with the captain considering him a dangerous anarchist who was interfering in their operations. However, during this time, Peter had become infatuated with the captain's daughter, Gwen, and the growing attraction that had been building between them soon became a relationship, with Peter revealing his secret to her. The dispute with the police soon grew worse when Curt Connors tested the apparently successful formula which he and Peter had worked on on himself, mutating into a giant Lizard and wreaking havoc across New York. Guilt-ridden over his role in the birth of the Lizard, Peter took it upon himself to stop him, eventually learning that Connors intended to mass disperse the formula over New York City to turn the citizens into Lizards and cause an apocalypse. Peter managed to thwart the Lizard's plan and cure, and subsequently incarcerate Connors, with the aid of Gwen and her father, although Captain Stacy lost his life in the process. Having promised the dying captain that he would leave Gwen out of his future conflicts, Peter intended to recluse himself from Gwen completely, but soon realized his responsibility to be there for her, letting her know that he still intended to be with her. Now backed by the police and committed to continue his role as a vigilante, Peter emerged as New York's primary protector. Over the course of the following year, Peter continued to fight crime in New York, becoming a sensation in the media and a subject of much debate for New York's citizens. Gwen continued to assist Peter in his exploits, with the two even designing a simpler suit and more efficient web-shooters for him to use as a superhero.

Peter was born to Richard and Mary Parker in August, 1995. In his early childhood years, Peter lived a very happy life with them, known to prefer sandwiches without crust, and to sleep with a little light on at night. Peter also met and befriended Harry Osborn at his primary school, and the two spent much of their time together. While playing hide and seek with his parents, Peter tries to find them and walks in the living room. Peter opens the curtain but doesn't find them. He opens another door, but his parents are still not there. Peter sees his father's glasses and wears them. Taking it off, Peter goes to another door, he sees messed up papers, and called his dad if he was there. Peter sees his father packing up the papers, while his mother cradled him up to the car. They arrive at May and Ben's house. Richard tells him that he has to go, but the confused Peter told that he wants to go too. Richard kisses his head goodbye, before telling him to be a good boy. Growing up, Parker believed his parents had abandoned him. After Harry was sent to boarding school at 11, Parker had no friends to interact. He later joined Midtown Science High School, as a student. He had feelings on his crush, Gwen Stacy, and was bullied repeatedly by Flash Thompson.
