Spoiler Warning


Quote1 My name is Peter Parker. I was bitten by a radioactive spider and for ten years, I've been the one and only Spider-Man. I'm pretty sure you know the rest. I saved a bunch of people, fell in love, saved the city, and then I saved the city again and again and again. Look, I'm a comic book, I'm a cereal, did a Christmas album. I have an excellent theme song. And a so-so popsicle. But after everything, I still love being Spider-Man. I mean, who wouldn't? So no matter how many hits I take, I always find a way to come back. Because the only thing standing between this city and oblivion is me. There's only one Spider-Man. And you're looking at him. Quote2
Peter Parker[src]

History

Early Life

Peter Parker was bitten by a Radioactive Spider at a young age, and after losing his Uncle Ben to a crime he could have prevented became the superhero known as Spider-Man.

Unmasked.

Spider-Man and Death

In the years since becoming Spider-Man, Peter became a celebrity of sorts to the city due to his heroics and the hope he inspired in people. Though his true identity was not known, Spider-Man had merchandise, food, and even a Christmas album in his name and image.

Fighting the Green Goblin.

During one battle with Green Goblin, Peter saved a young Miles Morales. It quickly became apparent that, like Peter, Miles was developing spider powers. Peter offered to take Miles under his wing and help him control his abilities, and told him to wait where it was safe while he finished destroying the Super Collider, a mysterious device the Goblin appeared to be protecting. Unfortunately, Peter was halted by an attack from The Prowler and the arrival of The Kingpin, who explained that he was plotting to use the Super Collider to open gateways to other dimensions. During the ensuing battle the Collider was activated and an enraged Green Goblin attempted to kill Peter by shoving him directly into the device, overloading it and causing it to explode.

The explosion killed Green Goblin and left Peter severely injured. Miles Morales approached him, and Peter gave him a USB stick that could destroy the Collider. Miles fled and hid upon Peter's request, and the Kingpin arrived alongside Prowler. Peter revealed that he knew what Kingpin was planning and that it wouldn't work, adding that "they're gone". This enraged Kingpin, who brutally killed the already mortally wounded Peter on the spot by smashing him under his fists.

Notes

Trivia

  • This version of Peter Parker has blonde hair and blue eyes, an obvious distinction from the brown hair and hazel eyes of most versions of the character; directors said these features were added as a way to clearly differentiate his and Miles's universe from others.
  • The blonde color of Peter's hair is also a nod to his comics counterpart's clone Ben Reilly, who later dyed his hair blonde to establish his own identity.
  • This Peter Parker was intended to represent the most competent version of Peter Parker possible, an amalgam of Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man, Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man, and Tom Holland's Spider-Man.
  • Peter was twenty-six when he died.[1]
  • Peter had a degree in Chemical Engineering.
  • Peter was friends with Stan Lee before he died.
  • In an earlier version of the film by Yuhki Demers as the visual artist of the movie, Peter seems to have his own 16-bit video game, posing to his to Marvel vs. Capcom (Series) Idle animation while fighting the Rhino that ressembles his Earth-616 counterpart.
