The king of Marvel Comics, their A-list property to end all A-list properties, has long been Peter Parker, the Amazing Spider-Man, since his first issue back in March of 1963 (or August of 1962, Spidey's first appearance, in Amazing Fantasy #15). It was a great, great time to be a comic fan, even if it meant we got stuck with those ' Fantastic Four' films. The greatest heroes in Marvel history finally had a chance to shine on the big screen, and possibly earn a new following. Comic movies became instant green lights, many of which made money, no matter their quality. With the successful adaptation of the ' X-Men' franchise from comics to film, Pandora's Box was, as it were, opened, never to be closed again. He is now the Green Goblin, Spider-Man's arch-enemy, who will put young Peter Parker's vow to fight crime and help innocent people to the ultimate test. An experimental formula has gone awry, increasing his intelligence and strength but also driving him insane. Soon after, he discovers that he has unusual powers: he is endowed with the strength and agility of a spider along with a keen, ESP-like 'spider-sense.' Peter first uses his powers to make money, but in the face of a tragedy that hits close to home, he vows to dedicate his life to fighting crime, taking to heart the words of his beloved Uncle Ben: 'With great power comes great responsibility.' Meanwhile, megalomaniacal businessman Norman Osborn, Harry's father, is undergoing some changes of his own. On a school trip, during which Peter and his classmates are given a science demonstration on arachnids, Peter is bitten by a genetically-altered spider.

Peter leads the life of a normal student, working as a photographer at the school paper, pining after the beautiful Mary Jane Watson and hanging out with buddy Harry Osborn. Overview - Orphaned at an early age, Peter Parker lives in Queens, New York with his beloved Aunt May and Uncle Ben.
