THE SPIDER (Peter Parker)

Story: Despite his brilliant intellect Peter Parker had always been a troubled child. When his parents died in a mugging gone wrong he was taken in by his widowed aunt May. One day he was at an archeological exhibition, where he witnessed a battle between some terrorists and the Avengers. Trying to hide Peter broke one of the exhibits - a clay jar with a spider symbol. This jar contained the powers of Anansi - the African god of spiders. That very evening Peter discovered that he possessed spider powers. He decided to use his powers to take vengeance on the criminal world by killing criminals.

Powers: He has all of spiderman's powers (spider sense, strength, agility). At first he uses a gun - a .38 revolver to kill criminals. After his first run-in with one of the Goblins he created a simple web-gun, which he uses mostly to immobilise his opponents (although he can also create a rope to climb or swing on, but nothing like Spiderman-616's web-shooters). He is also working on adding a paralysing toxin to his webbing. His trenchcoat is made of heavy leather and works as a simple armor, offering him some protection.

Looks: like the Marvel Noir version fo spiderman:
