Origin Story
Peter Parker was a brilliant but nerdy high school student from Queens, New York. During a visit to a science exhibit, he was bitten by a radioactive spider, granting him superhuman strength, agility, and the ability to cling to surfaces.
After the tragic death of his Uncle Ben — a lesson in responsibility he never forgot — Peter dedicated his life to protecting the innocent as Spider-Man. His scientific genius led him to create his own web-shooters and Spider-Sense.
