High School wallflower, Peter Parker was an outcast because he was such an incredible geek. One day, while attending a science fair, he was bitten by a radio-active spider. He soon found that he had the proportional strength, speed and agility of an arachnid. After making a costume and fashioning some web shooters, he went off and tried to get into show business. Being bitter to the world, he allowed a burglar to escape, even though he could have done something about it. The same burglar later one returned and murdered his Uncle Ben. Spidey then learned that with great power, comes great responsability and that if you can do something to help, then you're obligated to help. His sense of responsability has lead him to the battle against Onslaught.
