Peter Parker

Peter Parker is the person behind the Spider-Man mask — an orphaned Queens teenager raised by his Aunt May and Uncle Ben who was bitten by a radioactive spider on a school field trip. His failure to stop a burglar who then killed Uncle Ben taught him the lesson that would define his life: with great power there must also come great responsibility. Brilliant, self-deprecating, and perpetually unlucky in everything except the web, Peter Parker is Marvel's most human hero.
