Biography

Early years

Peter Parker was orphaned at the age of six when his parents died in a plane crash. Peter was taken in by his aunt and uncle, Ben and May Parker. He was a very smart boy who was highly regarded by the teachers at Midtown High School, but his shyness and interest in learning often made him an outcast among his peers.

Boy, spider and robber

General Techtronics Corporation held an exhibition on the safe handling of radiation, and Peter, as a true science lover, simply could not miss it. At the exhibition, he was bitten by a spider exposed to radiation in a particle accelerator. On the way home, Peter discovered that he had somehow gained incredible strength, agility, and the ability to cling to walls, and immediately realized that it was due to the spider bite.

After seeing an ad offering a cash prize to anyone who could last three minutes in the ring with a professional wrestler, Peter decided it was a good way to test his strength. To avoid shame in case of defeat, he built himself a mask. Parker easily defeated his opponent and was noticed by a television producer, who convinced him to get a job in television. Having sewn a colorful suit and designed containers that shoot webs, Peter called himself Spider-Man and immediately became a sensation.

After his television appearance, Peter refused to stop the thief, saying that it was none of his business. Pete forgot about this incident and continued to bask in the glory. One evening, he returned home to find that Uncle Ben had been killed. After learning from the police that a criminal was cornered in an old warehouse, Peter went there and easily defeated him. When the criminal's face was caught in the rays of light, Parker recognized him as the same robber whom he had once refused to detain. Filled with remorse, Peter realized that with great power comes great responsibility. He soon began a distinguished crime-fighting career as the Amazing Spider-Man.

Taking on Great Responsibility

At first, Spider-Man wanted to join the Fantastic Four, but the team turned him down. Then he began to tear off all sorts ofcrimes alone, and sold the photographs taken with an automatic camera to the Daily Bugle newspaper ( Daily Bugle). Spider-Man quickly became New York's most famous resident, although Bugle publisher Jonah Jameson was forever stigmatizing him and calling him a menace. Parker's greatest fear was for Aunt May: he thought that if she found out about his superhero activities, she wouldwill have a heart attack.

Early in his career, Spider fought Chameleon for the first time ( Chameleon), Vulture, Tinkerer, Kraven the Hunter ( Kraven the Hunter), Sandman ( Sandman), Lizard, Dr Doom, Misterio and the Green Goblin ( Green Goblin). But his main enemy at that time was the insidious Doctor Octopus ( Doc Ock). It was he who gathered several of the above villains into the Sinister Six team ( Sinister Six) With sole purpose- destroy Spider-Man.

At the time, Peter was dating Betty Brant ( Betty Brant , a secretary from the Daily Bugle. Betty was very jealous of Parker and Liz Allan ( Liz Allan) who was in love with him. Aunt May and the Parkers' neighbor Anna Watson ( Anna Watson) hoped that Peter would start dating Mary Jane(Mary Jane) , Anna’s niece, but the young people saw each other for the first time only a few months later.

Studying at university and life after graduation

After graduating from school, Peter entered the Empire State University, and now he had to combine study, work and exploits. Parker soon became friends with Harry Osborn, the son of Norman Osborn, the Green Goblin. Peter and Harry rented an apartment together, and Parker helped his friend with his studies and supported him at times when his relationship with his father became especially difficult.

The Green Goblin came up with more and more ingenious ways to deal with the Spider, and soon he eclipsed the other enemies of the Spider with his antics. The Goblin was not only the first villain, but also the first person to learn the secret identity of Spider-Man.

At university, Peter met Gwen Stacy and they fell in love. However, after Gwen's father, police captain George Stacy, died during a fight between Spider-Man and Doctor Octopus while trying to save the child, the girl hated Spider and blamed him for her father's death. Peter did not reveal his secret identity to her, fearing that it would ruin their relationship.

Peter and Gwen's happiness together was short-lived. One day, the Green Goblin kidnapped her and threw her off a bridge. Spider-Man released his web and caught Gwen by the legs, but the sudden jerk broke her spine. The loss of Gwen was perhaps the worst tragedy for Peter since the death of Uncle Ben.

The fight against the villains did not end. The Spider constantly had to deal with the Rhinoceros ( Rhino), the second Vulture, Shocker ( Shocker), Kingpin, Prowler, and even with the vampire Morbius ( Morbius).

After the death of Gwen Stacy, Mary Jane provided Peter with great moral support. Peter soon fell in love with her and even proposed, but Mary Jane refused and disappeared from Peter’s life for several months.

After graduating from university, Peter continued his career as a photographer and superhero. Now he lived alone, and Aunt May decided to organize a boarding school for the elderly in her house. For some time Spider had partnerships and romantic relationship with Black Cat ( Black Cat). However, Cat was only interested in Spider-Man and not Peter Parker, and they broke up.

Symbiote, Avengers and wedding

When a mysterious being known as the Beyonder kidnapped numerous heroes and villains to organize "Secret Wars", Spider-Man was among them. During various battles, Peter's suit was badly damaged, and he decided to use the alien mechanism to repair his clothes. However, the mechanism did not work as expected, and Spider acquired a black symbiotic suit. He used this suit after Secret Wars until he noticed that it (the suit) was behaving strangely. Then Peter turned to Reed Richards ( Reed Richards) , who found out that this living suit is gradually enslaving its wearer. Reed placed the suit in a special trap, but soon the symbiote escaped and merged with Spider-Man's longtime enemy, reporter Eddie Brock ( Eddie Brock). This is how one of the most dangerous supervillains appeared - Venom ( Venom).

Spider-Man has had to fight alongside all the heroes of Manhattan, if not the world, many times. One day, having learned that all members of the Avengers team received financial benefits, he decided to join their ranks. Together with the Avengers, he eliminated the threat of Project Pegasus. However, in the end, the heroes refused to accept him into their team.

After some time, Mary Jane returned to Peter's life. After his fight with the supervillain Puma, she revealed that she had figured out the secret of Parker's double life early in his career. Soon they got married. Harry Osborne rented a loft for the newlyweds in the same building where he lived. At one time, Mary Jane's cousin, Christie, lived with the Parkers. However, Peter and Mary Jane subsequently moved to Queens to live with Aunt May due to financial difficulties.

Although the Avengers did not want to accept Spidey, they soon had to work together again to stop the supervillain Nebula ( Nebula), who wanted to destroy the entire Universe. Unaccustomed to confronting cosmic threats, the Spider became the culprit in the fact that the Nebula received the power of the Infinite Union ( Infinity Union ). Fortunately, the heroes managed to defeat the villain, but the Avengers again refused to let Spider-Man join the team. However, some time later they accepted it on a temporary basis.

Peter also spent time as a research fellow at Empire State University. During this period, he was given the power of Captain Universe so that he could defeat numerous robots, including Sentinels, designed to hunt mutants. With the threat eliminated, Peter's power as Captain Universe left him.

The Clone Saga

When Aunt May suffered a heart attack (she never recovered and died), Ben Riley, a clone of Peter Parker created by the villain Jackal, came to see her. Peter and Ben once fought, and Spider believed the clone to be dead. However, now Riley has returned with completely friendly intentions. He created his own superhero costume and began to help Parker in his adventures. The Daily Bugle nicknamed him the Scarlet Spider, and he began to use this nickname. Together with Parker, he fought the evil clone of Spider-Man - Kane, as well as the Jackal. Soon Mary Jane became pregnant, and she and Peter moved to Portland, Oregon. Pete abandoned his Alter Ego in order to devote maximum time to his family.

After the second Doctor Octopus disgraced the name of the Scarlet Spider, Riley began performing as Spider-Man. At this time, Mary Jane went into labor and was taken to the hospital. This hospitalization was set up by Norman Osborn, who kidnapped the newborn May Parker. The parents were told that the girl died during childbirth. The Green Goblin then attempted to kill Parker, but Ben Riley, who arrived in time, rushed onto the villain's glider and sacrificed himself to save Peter.

Since Peter Parker's and Kane's fingerprints matched, it was Spider-Man who was blamed for the murders committed by this first disfigured Spidey clone. To continue his crime-fighting career, Peter alternated between changing costumes and at various times called himself Hornet, Dusk, Prodigy and Ricochet. Having regained his good name, he returned to his usual image. After some time, the hero of the Golden Age, Black Miracle ( Black Marvel) gave these four costumes to different teenagers and formed them into a team called "Spinners" ( Slingers). Shortly after these events, the Avengers invited Spidey to rejoin their team, but he refused.

As it turned out later, Aunt May was still alive, and the Parkers buried a copy of her. Peter and Mary Jane returned to New York and settled in Manhattan. Peter promised Mary Jane to end Spider-Man's career, but at night he again set out on exploits. Their marriage began to fall apart. Soon, Mary Jane was in a plane crash, and everyone assumed she was dead. After some time, it turned out that she had survived, but Mary Jane refused to live with Peter.

First meetings with Ezekiel

Shortly after Mary Jane left for California, Peter met ordinary person named Ezekiel Sims. Fifty-six-year-old Ezekiel had exactly the same abilities as Spider-Man, with the exception of Spider-Sense, and was one of the co-owners of a large corporation. Sims' business partners also had abilities reminiscent of various animals, but Peter never met them.

Ezekiel hired the best private detectives on the planet to get all kinds of information about Spider-Man. He then compared the results of their independent investigations and came to the conclusion that Spider-Man is Peter Parker. Thus began their very strange friendship.

Ezekiel told Peter about his connection to the totemic source of power - the spider. Because of this close connection, he was an excellent candidate for prey for the ancient mystical creature named Morlan ( Morlun). The same danger threatened Ezekiel himself, but he, like his superhuman friends, was a less pure source of totemic energy. Therefore, Sims suggested that Parker hide from Morlun in a specially equipped shelter. The spider refused and entered into an unequal battle with the energy vampire. When he realized that he could not defeat Morlun, Ezekiel came to his aid, and with an unexpected blow he was able to break the monster’s nose. In the subsequent battle, Ezekiel, as it seemed to Peter, drowned, but thanks to the obtained blood sample, Spider-Man was able to learn about Morlun's only weakness - susceptibility to radiation. He went to a nuclear power plant, where he repeated the experiment on himself that had once turned him into a superman (this time the spider was not needed, Peter simply prepared a suitable radioactive solution). This enhanced all his abilities for several weeks. In addition, a lot of radiation entered the Spider’s body, and now he easily dealt with Morlun, after which the monster, weakened to the limit, was shot by his own assistant Dex ( Dex).

After some time, it turned out that Ezekiel did not die. He reappeared in Spider-Man's life to warn of the approach of another extremely dangerous mystical creature- supervillains Tents ( Shatra). Subsequently, he more than once supplied Peter with valuable information about various enemies of occult origin.

Book of Ezekiel

By the time Ezekiel's true intentions were revealed, Spider-Man's life had already improved somewhat: Mary Jane returned to him, and Aunt May learned Peter's secret. And then one day Ezekiel reappeared in New York to warn of the impending arrival of another mystical threat - the Gatekeeper. As usual, Peter refused to hide and fought the Gatekeeper, but was defeated. When Spider woke up, he discovered that he was in South America, and Ezekiel was going to sacrifice him. It turned out that Morlun, Shatra and other mystical villains were hunting Ezekiel, and not Peter at all. And the insidious Sims, with his warnings, forced everyone to get involved in battle every time.

All these villains hunted Ezekiel because he was not worthy of his power, obtained during an ancient Mayan ritual. Ezekiel saw only one way out - to sacrifice his “worthy” competitor, Spider-Man. However, already performing the ritual of sacrifice, Ezekiel changed his mind and gave himself up to be devoured by bloodthirsty spirits.

Changing Abilities

After meeting a very strange supervillain, the Queen ( Queen), Spider-Man gained the ability to shoot webs directly from his wrists, and his Spider-Sense and other abilities were greatly enhanced. But that was just the beginning. Soon Peter died and was reborn, which further strengthened his totemic connection with the spider, and at the same time his abilities.

Friendship with Iron Man and Civil War

After quelling a riot at Raft Prison, Spider-Man joined the New Avengers and became friends with Iron Man. Stark took care of Peter in every possible way: he settled the Parker family in the Avengers Tower, supported the Spider during a difficult period of death and rebirth, and gave him a unique Red and Gold Spider Armor, which allowed him to act even more effectively. Tony considered Peter a very valuable ally and made an agreement with him: Pete became his main assistant behind the scenes.

When the government started talking about passing the Superhero Registration Act, Spider-Man and Iron Man worked together to convince politicians to reject the bill. This did not produce results, and Tony announced to Spidey that he would have to act in support of the Act in order to control the situation as S.H.I.E.L.D. officers and prevent the start of mass persecution of superheroes. Since Parker had already realized that he could trust Stark, he agreed.

At the beginning of the Civil War, Peter was one of Iron Man's most loyal supporters. He even agreed to publicly reveal the secret of his identity, and a little later helped Stark coordinate the actions of legal heroes and S.H.I.E.L.D. in the battle with Captain America’s rebels. However, he increasingly doubted that he had chosen the right path, and eventually decided to go over to Cap's side. Perhaps Iron Man would have been able to convince him, but the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents burst in and opened fire, and the Spider escaped. S.H.I.E.L.D. director Maria Hill sent several supervillains to capture him, and in the battle with them the Spider Armor was almost completely destroyed. The wounded Spider was discovered by the Punisher, who took him to the rebel headquarters. Peter spent the rest of the war fighting on Cap's side.

One more day

When Captain America surrendered to the authorities and the Civil War ended, Spider-Man found himself in very difficult situation. Besides the fact that he was an outlaw, now all the supervillains knew his real name. The Kingpin, who was in prison, sent an assassin who mortally wounded Aunt May. Peter and Mary Jane took her to the hospital, but the doctors' verdict was disappointing: she would live another day.

In desperation, Spider-Man turned to Iron Man for help. Tony replied that he would not help a state criminal in any way, since he did not want to risk his newly acquired position as director of S.H.I.E.L.D. He defeated Peter and flew away. But returning to Avengers Tower, he paid his butler Jarvis a bonus of several million dollars and asked him to dispose of it as he pleased, hinting at the poor health of their mutual friend. Jarvis immediately went to the hospital and May received the best treatment money can buy. But this was not enough.

When Peter was already desperate to save his aunt, Mephistopheles came to him and offered a deal. He promised to cure May and settle the secret identity situation on the condition that Peter and Mary Jane would no longer be married. The couple consulted for a long time. Before Mephisto could commit his dirty deed, Mary Jane made her deal with him: she would convince Peter to accept such conditions, and the demon would leave him alone forever.

Mephisto returned to the past, on the eve of Spider and MJ's wedding. In the form of a bird, he freed a criminal who had just been arrested thanks to our hero. This criminal again reached the Spider, as a result of which he was late for the wedding. Mary Jane decided that Peter did not love her and broke up with him.

The problem with the secret identity was solved even more simply: shortly after the Civil War, at a meeting of the Illuminati, a decision was made: Doctor Strange would simply erase it from the memory of the whole world. When Strange cast the spell, Peter disrupted the process, causing Mary Jane to still remember who her would-be husband was.

Brand new day

So Peter Parker's world has changed a lot. Then numerous difficulties began with work, friends and enemies. Peter gave Jonah Jameson a heart attack, and his wife sold the Daily Bugle to tabloid king Dexter Bennett, who soon fired Parker. Peter became friends with policeman Vin Gonzalez, who hates Spider-Man. Together they rented an apartment until Vin went to prison on a ridiculous false charge. Vin's place in the apartment was taken by his cousin Michelle, with whom Peter developed an unusual relationship - sometimes hateful, sometimes romantic. Harry Osborn returned from oblivion, and Spider met his girlfriend Lily Hollister (as it later turned out, she was the supervillain Menace) and Lily's friend, Carly Cooper.

Numerous new enemies have appeared - Menace ( Menace), Screwball, Freak, Mr Negative, new Vulture ( Vulture) and many others. Old acquaintances also haunted me.

Peter began to have real problems looking for work. For some time he worked part-time for the Front Line newspaper ( Frontline) with his old friend Ben Urich, then spent some time as one of Jonah Jameson's assistants, who was elected mayor of New York.

Dark Dominion

After the Secret Skrull Invasion, one of the most influential people America became Spider's old enemy, Norman Osborn, a former supervillain nicknamed the Green Goblin, and now the director of M.O.L.O.T., the leader of his own Avengers team and the pseudo-hero Iron Patriot. Osborn decided to make a hero out of his son too, making a lightweight model of armor for Harry. But Harry did not want to become dependent on his hated father. He almost killed Norman, but was stopped by Spider-Man.

Shed

Enough for a long time Dr. Curt Connors managed to control himself and not turn into the Lizard. But at some point the disease turned out to be stronger than him. The personalities of Connors and the Lizard merged, forming a monstrous creature named Shed. The monster's body also underwent changes, and it became even stronger and more agile than the Lizard. In addition, he acquired the ability to telepathically influence people's consciousness.

Shad did what the old Lizard would never have done - he killed Billy Connors, Kurt's son. After this, he encountered Spider-Man and used his psionic powers for the first time: he tried to destroy the “monkey” (in his own words) component of Peter’s mind, so that only the mind of the lizard remained, which would primarily obey base animal instincts and the rule of the strong. Fortunately, Spider was able to resist this influence, but then Shed began to make numerous New Yorkers think this way. Chaos began on the streets.

In a difficult battle, Spider-Man defeated Shed and freed people from his influence. But some felt that the primitive instincts and the rule of the strong, proposed by the monster, were much fairer than the sanctimonious human laws. Together with Shed, they descended into the New York sewers and still live somewhere there.

Age of Heroes and the Deadly Hunt

After the Siege of Asgard, Spider-Man was finally recognized as a hero again. He joined the Avengers and New Avengers teams, and his popularity grew steadily. However, not everyone is happy about this.

The Kravinov family (the wife and children of Sergei Kravinov, the first Kraven the Hunter) decided to bring the deceased head of the family back to life. They began to catch all the people with spider abilities in order to sacrifice them. When Peter Kane's clone ( Kaine) warned him about this, Madame Web had already been caught ( Madame Web), Arachne, Arana and Spider-Woman/Mattie Franklin. Finally, Spider-Man was caught (he was lured into a trap by the Chameleon, who pretended to be Ezekiel risen from the dead).

To bring Kraven back to life, the ritual murder of Spider and Mattie Franklin was enough. However, Kraven, who rose from the dead, was not at all happy about his revival: he turned into a living corpse (though not decomposing). It turned out that the sacrificed Spider was not real: Kane stunned Peter and replaced him in the suit.

Enraged, Sasha Kravinova (Sergei's wife) inflicted a mortal wound on Madame Web. She died, leaving her gift of clairvoyance as a legacy to Julia Carpenter, Arachne. The real Spider-Man arrived at the Kravinov estate. He was incredibly angry about the death of his friends and was ready to kill Kraven, but he was stopped by Arachne, who showed him an alternative future in which Peter began killing enemies and turned into a real monster.

The defeated Kravinovs went to the Savage Land, where they are still located. Peter buried Mattie Franklin, Madame Web, and Kane. On the latter’s grave it is written: “Kane Parker. Brother."

One moment in time

Mary Jane came to Peter, and together they recalled the details of the deal with Mephistopheles. At the end of the conversation, Mary Jane kissed Peter and said that if they were not destined to be together, then he should not think only about her, because then he might not notice true love all my life. They broke up, promising not to interfere in each other's lives anymore.

Personality

After the death of Uncle Ben, Peter Parker's sense of responsibility became greatly exacerbated. Often he needlessly blames himself for something to which he has practically nothing to do. For example, he felt guilty that Electro, one of “his” villains, staged an escape from the Raft prison. However, in moments of threat to someone's life, Peter does not at all look like such a depressed whiner and maintains his common sense and wit.

Reputation

Spider-Man has gained immense fame among other superheroes, villains and civilians alike. As was once noted, half of Earth-616 loves Spider, the other half hates him, but everyone talks about him. Aunt May once read on the Internet that Peter saved the lives of more than 10,000 people, not counting the defuses of bombs and feats performed together with other heroes.

Among villains, Spider-Man has a very special attitude. When in the Bar Without a Name ( Bar with No Name) bets were accepted on Spider's victory in next battle, many villains claimed that the Horseman always defeats newcomers. And when Kolpak ( Hood ) was just starting his career, one of the villains laughed at him, saying: “You haven’t even fought Spider-Man yet.”

Powers and abilities

Powers

Initial (aka current) forces:

• Spider Sense: Spider-Man has an extrasensory sense that warns him of danger in advance by a tingling sensation in the back of his skull. This allows him to avoid most injuries. Unfortunately, sometimes Peter's strong emotions prevent him from recognizing the signals of his Spider-Sense. The nature of Sense is unknown: Ezekiel Sims called it mystical, and there are no reasonable scientific explanations. Signals can come both directly at the moment of danger, and minutes and even hours beforehim. The stronger the threat, the sooner Peter learns about it. The scent does not give an idea of ​​the nature of the threat, but it indicates the exact direction from which it comes. Sudden and very dangerous circumstances can lead to a painful reaction of the Flair. Peter's sixth sense works even when he is unconscious or asleep. It warns him about everything he considers dangerous. In particular, he reacts to the presence of observers or cameras that can record Pete dressing up as Spider, but does not react to Aunt May, even if she is about to find out about her nephew's secret. Spider-Man has become so adept at reading his ESP signals that even when his opponents blind him, he can continue fighting using his Spider-Sense.
• Reception of radio signals: Spider Sense picks up radio waves of a certain frequency. Taking advantage of this property, Peter designed Spider Radio Beacons ( Spider Tracers), emitting signals at this frequency. It uses radio beacons to track someone.
• Climbing walls: One of the changes in Peter's body after the spider bite occurred in the cerebellum. Now he can mentally control the attraction between atoms using electrostatic forces. This breaks the boundary between the surfaces of touching objects at the subatomic level. Simply put, the diffusion of several upper layers of atoms of different objects occurs. It is not yet known how Spider-Man's mind can influence the behavior of atoms. Until now, the ability to change the strength of their attraction to each other was limited to controlling the attraction between objects and Peter's body (mainly his hands and feet). With this ability, he can hold a load weighing several tons "docked" to his fingers.
• Superhuman Strength: The special structure of his muscles allows Spider-Man to lift loads weighing up to ten tons. In combat, he is forced to hold back his blows (unless he is fighting someone equal or superior to him in endurance). Otherwise, his blows would be fatal to a person without superpowers. He has demonstrated that he is strong enough to knock out a person with a simple slap to the head. Also during the Secret Invasion, in a battle in the Savage Land, he defeated a Tyrannosaurus rex with one blow. Of course, Spider's physical strength extends to his legs, allowing him to make huge leaps. On the day he was bitten by the Spider, Peter almost got hit by a car, but was saved by jumping about ten meters vertically into the air (this is how he discovered his abilities). It should be noted that at that moment his powers had not yet developed to their full potential.
• Superhuman Speed: Spider-Man is capable of running and moving at speeds many times faster than even the most trained person can achieve. He has shown that he can easily outrun a car on foot, but prefers to travel on a web.
• Superhuman Durability: Peter's enhanced musculature produces fatigue toxins much more slowly than a normal human's. This allows him to perform at the peak of his powers for long hours. His breathing apparatus is also greatly improved: he is almost never seen out of breath, and Spider is able to hold his breath for more than eight minutes.
• Superhuman Stamina: Spider-Man's body is significantly more resistant to various injuries than that of other people. He is able to survive impacts that would seriously injure or kill a normal human with virtually no discomfort. If Spider flexes his super-strong muscles, a non-superpowered person can do almost no harm to him with their bare hands. Peter himself said that he tries to dodge blows from opponents who do not have at least the same strength and endurance, otherwise they may dislocate or break their wrist.
• Superhuman Agility: Parker's agility, balance, and coordination go far beyond human capabilities. Its connective tissues and tendons are approximately twice as flexible and mobile, but also stronger. Spider can break any Olympic record for exercises on gymnastic apparatus such as rings, parallel bars, etc.
• Superhuman sense of balance: Spider-Man can maintain his balance in any position imaginable and on any support, even the smallest and narrowest.
• Superhuman Reflexes: the speed of all conditioned and unconditioned reflexes of Peter is approximately forty times higher than that of an ordinary person. Combined with his Spider-Sense, they allow him to dodge almost any attack. In some cases, Spider-Man has been shown dodging bullets using just his reflexes, without using his Senses at all.
• Regenerative Healing Factor: While Spidey's regeneration is not as noticeable as Wolverine's or Deadpool's, it is powerful enough to recover from severe injuries, fractures, and extensive tissue damage in a surprisingly short time. Once he gained his power, he soon found that his poor eyesight improved, eliminating the need to wear glasses. During a battle with a villain named Masked Marauder, Spider-Man was completely blinded, but after two days he could see everything perfectly (although his eyes were easily irritated for another whole day). Its accelerated metabolism provides the highest resistance to drugs: the effect of even the largest doses quickly wears off without causing addiction. During a meeting with Roy ( Swarm) Peter received thousands of bee stings, but was completely fine the next day. Its resistance and recovery rate from other toxins and diseases varies, but is generally significantly higher than that of ordinary people. Spider-Man was able to fully restore his eyes, which were damaged by the acid spat in his face by the new Vulture, although the extent of the damage may have been less than he first thought.
• Protected identity: Thanks to the magic of Doctor Strange, no one can accidentally or intentionally find out the secret identity of Spider-Man unless Peter himself wants it. Any evidence that Spidey is Peter Parker (even direct evidence in Civil War-era media) is either incomprehensible to people or leads to incorrect conclusions. It is possible to find out who is hiding under the mask only if Peter himself tells it.

Lost powers:

The mutation after meeting the Queen gave the Spider the following powers:

• Enhanced Strength: Now the maximum weight of the load that he could lift was not 10, but 15 tons.
• Telepathic communication with arthropods: The developed Spider-Sense helped to communicate with spiders and insects, using them as a remote source of information, and even control their behavior. One day, the spiders voluntarily hid the unconscious Spider-Man from the Tent, and thus saved him.
• Biological/organic web production: Glands appeared on Peter's wrists that could produce and release webs. This web had almost the same properties as those released from containers, only it disintegrated not in two hours, but in a week.

After death and rebirth, Peter's powers increased again:

• Even more increased strength: The new limit for lifting mass was 20 tons.
• Enhanced agility, endurance, speed and reaction: In the fight with Mysterio, Spider noted a significant improvement in all these indicators.
• Enhanced Spider-Sense: Peter was able to perceive everything that was happening around him, not just sources of danger.
• Night Vision: Spider-Man learned to see in the dark in the presence of at least the weakest light source.
• Feeling vibration and air currents through hair and cobwebs: This ability allowed him to find a way out from under the rubble of a collapsed building.
• Improved Healing Factor: Recovery from any damage to the body began to occur several times faster.
• Healing in "sleep mode": This is exactly how his rebirth happened: Peter entered an unconscious state, formed a cocoon, hibernated, was healed and received new powers. His mysterious “illness” and short-term loss of superpowers were the body’s first attempts to enter this state. It is unknown whether Peter can repeat this at least one more time.
• Stings:Spider-Man's wrists had sharp, retractable stingers. They released a polyamine poison that could paralyze an adult for several hours. And for the almost invulnerable Morlun, wounds from these stings turned out to be fatal.

Capabilities

• Unbending willpower: For many years Peter led double life full of losses and defeats, but this did not break him, and from short moments of weakness he emerged even more strong man. His will was strong enough to resist the attempts of Venom, and later the nanorobots of Doctor Octopus and the telepathy of Shed, to subjugate his mind.

Today we have a very interesting topic: Spider-Man costumes. We'll tell you what his suits are made of, how many there are, and what gadgets are used.

After Peter discovered his powers after being bitten by a spider, he saw an ad in the newspaper offering a cash prize to anyone who could last three minutes in the ring with a professional wrestler. Peter decided that this was a good way to test his strength. To maintain anonymity, he puts on old clothes and makes himself a mask.

This is what the very first Spider-Man suit looked like.

After the victory, Peter was offered to become a show business star, for which Peter makes himself the well-known red and blue suit.

The suit was made of spandex, consisting of polyurethane fibers. The fabric is very elastic - it can stretch 600% and return to its original state in a very short time. Spandex has great wear resistance, is also easy to wash and dries quickly.

Large white lenses are sewn onto the mask for good review wearing a mask. The lenses also function as sunglasses.

The suit has a standard set of gadgets:

Symbiote, “black suit”

First appearance of Secret Wars #8

Venom appears in the eighth issue of the Secret Wars event. Otherworldly (Beyond), having seen how strong the earth's heroes were, against their will he transferred a group of heroes and villains to another planet located in another galaxy so that they would fight each other. In one of these battles, Spider-Man tore his suit. He was advised to find himself new suit at one of the bases. Having found an unknown mechanism at the base that released a black sphere, the Spider touched it. Thus, he released the imprisoned Venom, which replaces his old suit, makes him stronger and gives him a more menacing black color.

The suit gave Spider-Man new abilities, such as:

• Superhuman strength

Black suit

First appearance of Spectacular Spider-Man #99

Another costume worth mentioning is the black suit, but not the symbiote. After Peter got rid of the alien suit, a surprise awaited him from Black Cat, who sewed him exact copy a black suit, because she thought Spider was sexier in it.

The suit is made of the same material as the classic one, i.e. made of spandex. At first, Peter didn't wear one, but when his regular suit was torn or in the wash, Peter would wear a black suit. But after Venom visited Mary Jane, seriously frightening her, she asked Peter to take off this suit. Thus, the black suit was temporarily shelved.

Later, Peter wore a black suit to show his enemies that he was serious and was not going to joke. In this suit, Spidey behaved extremely aggressively, despite the fact that it was not a symbiote.

Wearing a black suit, Spidey nearly killed Wilson Fisk (Kingpin/Stronghead) and Sergei Kravinov (Kraven the Hunter).

First appearance Amazing Spider-Man #529

After quelling a riot at Raft Prison, Spider-Man joined the New Avengers and became friends with Iron Man. Stark took care of Peter in every possible way, even settling the Parker family in Avengers Tower. Before the Civil War, Tony Stark made an agreement with Peter: Peter secretly became his main assistant. On this occasion, Tony Stark handed Peter an armored suit made of Kevlar microfiber. Kevlar has high strength (five times stronger than steel, tensile strength σ0 = 3620 MPa). Kevlar retains strength and elasticity at low temperatures, even cryogenic (-196°C). Moreover, at low temperatures it even becomes a little stronger. When heated, Kevlar does not melt, but decomposes at relatively high temperatures (430-480°C). The gold parts of the suit are made of titanium alloy.

The spider emblem serves as the housing for the computer system that controls the suit's gadgets, namely:

• Grid glider
  Allows you to make short flights, the computer can calculate the flight path;

Armored Suit

First appearance of Amazing Spider-Man #654

When Spidey lost his spider-sense and was shot by Marcus Lyman, Spidey needed to somehow protect himself. For this reason, he made himself a new armored suit that can withstand bullets even from sniper rifles.

In his suit, Spidey broke into the building where Marcus Lyman was holding hostages. The bandit tried to kill the hostages, but the Spider, in his armor, took the blow, withstanding a 5.56 mm machine gun burst. As a result, Spidey pushed Marcus outside, where dozens of snipers tried to shoot him. But Spider-Man saved the criminal, shielding him from sniper bullets, which his suit successfully withstood.

The exact material of the suit is unknown. Most likely the material is an impact-resistant polymer, which Peter invented. Underneath the black covering is Kevlar. On the head is a helmet with narrow lenses on the holes to minimize the chance of a bullet hitting the eye. Web shooters are not on the wrists, but on the forearm.

Another feature of the suit is a magnetic web that blocks any radio signals. Peter made it so that Marcus Lyman could not use the detonators.

Peter created Spider-Armor to help the Night's Watch defeat a new team of villains called the Enforcers, whose members had dangerous abilities and were a threat to all of New York. Acting as a team, they were very dangerous even for Spider. Spider-Man was in danger from the abilities of Dragon, Termite and Eel, who could easily fry or blow up Spidey, as well as from a woman nicknamed Plant, who released poisonous spores. The armor is worn over a regular suit. The armor is made of Kevlar fiber. The plates are made of titanium alloy, which increases strength and heat resistance. The plates are connected so as not to interfere with movement. The lenses are made of heat-resistant glass that can withstand high temperatures. There is a built-in filter under the mask that clears the air of toxic spores.

When the fight with the Enforcers began, the armor perfectly protected the Spider from high temperatures and explosions. But during the battle, the armor gradually broke down from numerous blows. The fatal move was made by Thermite, who melted the plates and then froze Spidey. Spider-Man broke the frozen armor. Spider-Man never used this armor again.

To prevent this dangerous metal from falling into the wrong hands, Spider decides to steal it back, but to do this he needed to get into the Kingpin's heavily guarded tower. For these purposes, the Spider decided to develop a special suit that makes him invisible and isolates any external sounds in order to protect himself from the Hobgoblin's ultrasonic laughter, as well as internal sounds (in in this case Spider-Man's voice and breath).

The suit is made of an omi-harmonic network with the properties of bending light and sound. The suit has 3 modes:

• Green, invisible mode
  In this mode, the suit bends light and sound, making Spidey invisible, and isolates sound. Neon lines serve to ensure that the Spider can navigate in space while in invisible mode. With the help of special lenses, he sees these lines;

On top of the suit are web shooters and a belt with cartridges for them. The web shooter cartridges are larger than Spidey's, increasing his web supply. One of the special features of the suits are poison darts in web shooters that paralyze enemies.

After the first battle with Venom and saving people, the journalists who watched this nicknamed Ben the Scarlet Spider.

It is worth mentioning that in this costume Ben merged with the Carnage symbiote.
When Scarlet Spider escaped from the Ravencroft Institute, he merged with Carnage, who escaped through the plumbing from the cell of his host Cletus Kasady.

Kernage gives all the same abilities as Venom, but he can also transform his limbs into melee weapons.

One of the features of the suit is a glider, which allows you to fly short distances. Since the suit is completely black, it is almost impossible to see in the dark.

Since we're already on the "Identity Crisis" arc, we'll continue to reveal the costumes that Peter wore during this period. And let's start, perhaps, from the very first,
the one he tried on was the Ricochet suit.

Ricochet

First appearance of Amazing Spider-Man #434

Norman Osborn once framed Spider-Man by arranging the murder of a petty crook named Joey Z. To do this, he filled his lungs with webs, which Spidey uses. He also provoked Spider-Man to attack him in public. The spider was put on the wanted list, and the reward for its capture was $5 million. Spider-Man could not calmly appear on the street, since most police officers and ordinary people were trying to catch him.

In Amazing Spider-Man #434, Peter put Spider-Man's suit on the shelf and donned the new suit that Mary Jane had made for him to live up to Spider-Man's good name.

The suit is made of spandex. On top is a leather jacket with discs for throwing attached to the sleeves. The discs are made of a special alloy that allows them to bounce off hard surfaces while retaining most of the energy.

To avoid giving himself away, Peter used only his agility in this suit, jumping away from attacks and jumping from wall to wall, which is why he was nicknamed Ricochet.

Using Ricochet's suit, Peter temporarily teamed up with Spider-Man's old enemy Deliala in order to obtain information about several villains, including Black Tarantula, who was hunting Spider-Man and suspected that Ricochet's mask was hiding Spider-Man. Spider.

After Spidey and Deliala managed to stop the Black Tarantula, Peter put Ricochet's suit on the shelf.

The new costume was made again by Mary Jane. Peter borrowed web shooter technology from the Scarlet Spider, making bracelets that shot paralyzing darts. Instead of a regular mask, Peter wore a helmet with protective glass. The jetpack was made by Hobie Brown, but since the jetpack was too heavy a burden for an ordinary person, he gave it to Spider.

Spider-Man's debut as the Hornet was a success. Within a few days, Hornet became a folk hero. Hornet stopped Luther (Looter), who stole money that served as a reward for the capture of Spider-Man. Hornet was then interviewed, asking "Would you stay in New York to stop Spider-Man" to which he replied "I don't think you'd have to worry about Spider-Man anymore." But the hornet’s words were twisted, and something completely different was printed in the newspapers. Because of this article, the Human Torch attacked Hornet, warning him that if he touched Spider-Man, he would regret it.

One day during a battle with Vulture, Vulture recognized Spider-Man's fighting style and his taunts, he realized that Hornet was Spider-Man and planned to reveal the truth to people. Therefore, Peter was forced to take off the Hornet suit.

After the Hornet suit, Peter puts on the Twilight Suit mentioned at the beginning.

When Peter was looking for Trasper in the Twilight costume, Osborn put a bounty on Trasper's head to keep him from spilling the beans. Spidey manages to save Trasper from Shocker. Dusk said that he helped Trapster because Norman was using him too. Dusk and Trapster became allies. One day, Trapster called Dusk with him to kill Norman Osborn, but Peter stopped him, he convinced Trapster to confess in court to what Osborn ordered to be done, so that his life would be hell. Trapster did so, and thus Spider-Man's name was partially cleared.

But the electric shock partially blocked most of Captain Universe's energy abilities, and Peter was unable to use his new powers to their full potential. But Peter believed that the electric shock caused his spider abilities to increase.

One day, Spider-Man and other heroes encountered a team assembled by Loki, and with the help new strength The spider defeated them. But Locky did not stop and created Triguard (Tri-sentinel) of three Guardians, mutant hunter robots.

Peter Parqua had the suit even before he became Spider-Man. Peter worked with royal spy Nicholas Fury, and his suit was a uniform of sorts.

First appearance of Marvel Mangaverse: Spider-man #1

Peter Parker is a young member of a ninja clan called the Spiders. After an attack by the Shadow Clan led by Venom, the entire Spider Clan was destroyed and Peter was the only surviving member of the clan.

Thirsting for revenge, Peter begins to train intensively to obtain the special powers that his clan secretly possessed.

The Manga Spider costume is the special uniform of his clan. Having not yet received any special powers, Peter uses Shuko (claws on his palms) to climb walls. And instead of webs he uses spider-shaped hooks - Kyoketsu-shoge.

Spider-Man is one of the most popular comic book characters. Long before Robert Downey Jr. donned the armor, Spider-Man was the face of Marvel. The sixth film about Spidey and the first solo film within the “Cinematic Marvel Universe” is rightfully considered one of the most anticipated films of 2017.

To brighten up the wait for the film's release, we suggest you familiarize yourself with 15 interesting facts about Spider-Man that you may not have known.

Stan Lee came up with the idea for Spider-Man while watching a fly

The prototype of the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man was an ordinary fly on the wall. After successful start Fantastic Four in 1961, Stan Lee spent the next year thinking about a new colorful character. And an ordinary fly that flew into the office helped him in this.

Watching the winged insect crawl along the office walls, the comic book legend clearly understood what Marvel needed - a guy who could walk on a vertical surface. The first options for nicknames for the new character were Insect Man, Fly Man and Mosquito Man, until Stan Lee once again came up with the idea of ​​Spider-Man. He then commissioned Steve Ditko to whip up a costume design for an underage hero with spider powers, and presented it to Marvel chief Martin Goodman, whose response was: “This is worst idea, that I have ever heard." The rest, as they say, is history.

2

Peter Parker is the second “Spider-Man”

Marvel bosses thought the original concept of Spider-Man was absurd - people hated spiders, teenagers were only good as sidekicks, and superheroes shouldn't be disgusting. Therefore, in order to find out the reaction of the fan community to the new character, Spider-Man was shown in a comic book Amazing Fantasy #15. The character was well received by fans and Goodman commissioned Lee to create his own line of comics for the new superhero. Thus, in 1963 the world saw The Amazing Spider-Man #1.

Peter Parker wasn't the first spider-themed character. In the 1950s, monsters and science fiction comics were in high demand. So in the comic Journey Into Mystery #73 Spider-Man appeared, who, under the influence of radioactive radiation, transformed from an ordinary spider into a human. This character did not last long, tragically dying at the end of the issue. Since then, 13 characters (not counting Peter) have served as Spider-Man, including Gwen Stacy and.

3

Spider-Man is Jewish

Spider-Man is a follower of Judaism, or at least that's what is widely believed.

In superhero comics, they try not to raise religious topics; as an exception, we can only remember the Catholic. But according to Andrew Garfield, who happens to be Jewish, Peter Parker's neurotic state is an unmistakable sign of his religion, as is the fact that "he always feels like he's not doing enough."

According to the fan community, this theory is supported by the admission of Stanley Lieber (real name of Stan Lee) that, of the countless characters he has created over the years, Spider-Man is the closest to his alter ego. It's also worth noting that Stan chose the Forest Hills neighborhood in Queens, New York, which has historically been predominantly Jewish, for Peter's home. Moreover, Lee compared Spidey to David from the Hebrew Bible, who, in addition to famously defeating Goliath, was saved from death by the web of a spider.

4

He is a team player

In all film adaptations, with the exception of Civil War, Spider-Man is presented as a “lone wolf”, selflessly fighting one-on-one with villains. In fact, Spidey has a rich history of teaming up with other superheroes.

The plot of Spidey's first solo comic revolved around Spider-Man's demands to join the Fantastic Four. However, he changed his mind when he learned that he would not receive any financial incentive for membership in the team. When he was killed, Peter nevertheless joined the modernized version of the team, called the Future Foundation ( Future Foundation). He was also a member of the short-lived Fantastic Four with , Wolverine, and Ghost Rider. In addition, he repeatedly worked side by side with the X-Men, Misfits (The Outlaws) and, starting in the 60s, often collaborated with the Avengers.

5

Peter was in relationships with many women

After Peter Parker's first appearance in the comics, it was difficult to see him as a man who would be successful with women. But before even reaching the tenth issue, Spider-Man was already beating up hooligans with all his might and was in great demand among girls.

Peter dated the red-haired Mary Jane Watson for a long time, and was even married to her. True, he sold his marriage to the devil. You can also remember the school love of Liz Allen, the secretary Daily Bugle Betty Brant and, of course, Gwen Stacy. And how can we forget about his relationship with Felicia Hardy, the famous anti-heroine nicknamed ““? In addition, it is worth mentioning a couple of students from his alma mater, Debra Whitman and Marcy Kane, the latter of whom turned out to be an alien. Sissy Ironwood, roommate's sister, cousin of Gwen Stacy, Carlie Cooper, and even Captain Marvel. And this list goes on.

6

Peter has radioactive sperm

The 2006 story “Spider-Man: Reign” shows the life of Peter Parker from an alternate reality after 30 years. The elderly Spider-Man is retired, and Peter works as a florist. With corruption in New York at an all-time high, Peter decides to don his dusty suit once again to fight the Sinister Six. (Sinister Six). Meanwhile, Mary Jane died of cancer. The authors attributed the cause of the illness and subsequent death to Peter Parker's radioactive sperm.

7

Peter's parents worked for S.H.I.E.L.D.

The story of an orphaned boy raised by Aunt May and Uncle Ben, whose tragic death became the catalyst for Peter's transformation into a superhero, has long been a cliché. Unlike the story of Peter's parents described in the comics. You'd be wrong if you thought it was the same as the version in the Andrew Garfield film series that Peter's parents were scientists.

In the late 60s, it was revealed that Richard and Mary Parker were actually government agents working for S.H.I.E.L.D. They successfully completed missions around the globe, and once even saved Wolverine's life. Richard and Mary died shortly after Peter's birth in a plane crash staged by the Red Skull.

8

Spider-Man died 3 times

Like many superheroes, Spider-Man had to die. This first happened in 2005 in the story Spider Man: The Other. Then Morlun tore out and ate Peter's eye, and when he wanted to finally put an end to Spidey, Peter used all his strength to defeat the enemy, but later died from his wounds. And a little later he came out of the cocoon, alive and well.

In 2011 in Ultimate Spider-Man #160 Peter Parker was killed at the hands of the Green Goblin and replaced by Miles Morales, but Peter reappeared several years later.

In 2012 in Amazing Spider-Man #700 Spider-Man died for the third time, this time at the hands of . But he died half - Peter Parker died in the body of the Octopus, and Peter’s body and the consciousness of the Octopus tried to prove for another year that they could do the job of Spider-Man better. It didn't work. Most fans didn't like this outcome and Marvel brought Peter back to life with a new series.

Spider-Man saved the world from teenage pregnancy

Considering the rich history of relationships with the opposite sex and the properties of its biological fluids, you'd think Spider-Man would be the last guy to tell kids about the consequences of unprotected sex. But in 1976, Marvel teamed up with Planned Parenthood Federation of America to teach kids about teen sex. After all, there is no better way to reach sexually active teens than through comics.

IN The AmazingSpider-Man vs the Prodigy A friendly neighbor faces off against an evil alien who is deliberately misinforming teenagers about the consequences of sex.

In the plot The Other(rus . Another) he gains additional spider-like abilities: toxic stingers on his forearms, the ability to attach someone to his back, enhanced senses and night vision, and the ability to shoot organic web without the use of any equipment, which is different from earlier versions in which he I used special starters. When you press your fingers on the center of your palm, it opens the pores on your wrists and releases cobwebs that are stronger than artificial ones.
Spider-Man's metabolic processes are accelerated several times. The skeleton, tissues, muscles and nervous system are stronger than those of an ordinary person, which made him very flexible and durable. To make full use of all his abilities, he created his own fighting style, using, for example, surrounding objects, catching them with a web or distracting the enemy with cunning and reducing his vigilance. He simultaneously uses all his abilities - his "spider-sense", speed, acrobatic and gymnastic skills, as well as his intelligence and intelligence, which, despite the lack of constant training, has made him one of the most skilled heroes in the Marvel Universe.

Costumes and equipment
Despite limited financial resources, Spider-Man uses special equipment. The ability to shoot webs is one of the character's distinguishing features. Initially, he did not have the physiological changes to shoot webs, and he used devices of his own invention, attached to his wrists. There was a trigger mechanism on the palms, which was triggered when the hand was clenched into a fist. Subsequently, they were improved several times, in particular, the speed of web release, accuracy and technological characteristics were increased. Later, using his skills in applied sciences, Peter developed a synthetic adhesive-polymer, similar in properties to spider webs, and used it in conjunction with starters. The tensile strength of the created "web" is equivalent to 54 kg per square millimeter of cross-section and is comparable to the strength of nylon, and is also strong enough to bind and restrain the Hulk. The disadvantage of the invention is that after some time the threads break down, lose strength and as a result evaporate.
Spider-Man's costumes have changed many times throughout the history of his existence, but the most notable are four of them - the traditional red-blue, black-and-white suit of the alien symbiote during the events of the Secret Wars (after the Civil War, Spider-Man put on a black suit made of regular fabric ), Ben Reilly's scarlet suit, and a technologically advanced armor suit designed by Tony Stark.

Jonah Jameson, and also took any job offered to him, such as filming events where the general press had limited or prohibited access. Partly due to the stinginess of the editor-in-chief, who did not hire Peter for a full-time job, he was unable to make much money, and he published a book of his photographs and won a Pulitzer Prize for his photograph of the Sentinel, but this was later erased from his memory.
