Peter Parker

"The only thing standing between Queens and oblivion is me. That's why no matter how many hits I take, I always find a way to come back. I am Spider-Man!"

--Peter Parker.

Early Life
Peter Parker was born to Richard and Mary Parker in Forest Hills, Queens. However, Peter's time with his parents was cut short. When he was five years old, Peter was left in the care of his Uncle Ben Parker and Aunt May Parker while his parents were away on a business trip. Tragically, the Parkers' plane went down, killing both of Peter's parents. He was then raised by his aunt and uncle in Forest Hills, Queens.

Middle School
While in middle school, Peter first encountered bullies Flash Thompson and Kenny McFarlane and befriended Harry Osborn and Gwen Stacy.

Origin
While on an Academic Decathlon trip to Washington D.C., Peter attended a science demonstration held by Alchemax, and was bitten on the hand by a genetically altered spider that had escaped from its terrarium. Unbeknownst to him, the spider had granted Peter spider-like abilities. Returning home, Peter refused to use his newfound powers until one fateful night... One night, a thief robbed a convenience store--a robbery Peter could have prevented--and later broke into the Parker house in Forest Hills. The thief shot and killed Peter's Uncle Ben. After this, Peter vowed to protect Queens and became Spider-Man!
