Peter Benjamin Parker is introduced as an orphaned science whiz kid teenager living with his aunt and uncle in the Forest Hills section of New York City. A brilliant student but always the subject of mockery by his peers. One day he gets bitten by a radioactive spider during a science demonstration and gains spider-like powers such as super-strength and the ability to climb walls. Peter’s own cleverness enables him to develop gadgets that fire webbing.
As Spider-Man, he learned that with great power comes great responsibility as he committed himself to become a vigilante. After his uncle’s death, Peter and his Aunt May become had a hard time earning money, so he gets a job as a photographer at the Daily Bugle selling photos to J. Jonah Jameson (J. stands for John).
Enemies always endanger his loved ones, such as the tragic death of his girlfriend Gwen Stacy in the hands of Green Goblin. Though still haunted by her death, Spider-Man eventually married Mary Jane Watson. His marriage to Mary Jane and public unmasking brought more problems as he continues to fight off all the threats to humanity.
