Spider's Background:

Peter Parker was murdered by the duo of Green Goblin and Venom. New York temporarily went into a state of panic as Spider-man's rogues gallery runs rapid through the streets. However Ben Reilly, who is hiding out in Guatemala, hears the news and returns to New York. He revises Peter's costume and becomes the Spider, New York's new vigilante. But he does not make money by taking photos of himself. Reilly begins working at Stark Industries and he forms a relationship with Mary Jane Watson. He even has his own Sinister Six, which consists of Electro, Doctor Octopus, Grim Reaper, Scorpion, Radioactive Man, and Sand-Man.
