Peter was raised with the best of intentions by his aunt and uncle who guided him no different than if he was their own child, but even growing up in a loving and warm household led to Peter seeking out answers to his questions regarding his parents— a topic rarely touched upon by his uncle and aunt. The circumstances of the freak accident became Peter’s first obsession and whilst he didn’t really have the information readily at hand. Peter was adamant about finding out as he began to clip pieces of information together through dug out newspapers from the local library, dedicated searches through the internet, and clever questions to the people who raised him as well as their closest friends. Peter may have been a child but he had to know the whole story; he would not be content otherwise.

Reminded of his younger days and recognizing Peter’s tenacity to find the truth, Uncle Ben decided that it was time to tell Peter the truth as far as he knew it. Taking Peter into his office and unlocking some old file cabinets Ben pulled out the information that he had himself investigated at the time— Ben gave Peter what he wanted, though all it did was give him more frustrated questions. The accident was suspicious, some speculated sabotage, and others discarded it as a hit and run. The reporting was largely inconsistent and the police wrote it off as an accident. The only thing Ben could really tell Peter was the little he knew about Richard’s work as a scientist and ultimately give Peter the first real advice of his life: how to move on and not let tragedy define him. Much like other talks with Uncle Ben, Peter would take to it well and never forget the lesson.

It was with that advice that Peter took a long breath and went back to being a typical twelve year old. Between this point and high school he would strengthen his bonds with his friends. His best friend— [b]Gwen Stacy[/b] lived next door, and he had an awkward yet fulfilling relationship with a kid down the street by the name of [b]Eddie Brock[/b]. The trio were joined by [b]Oliver Osnick[/b], [b]Alexander O’Hirn[/b], and [b]Angelica Jones[/b] as a sort of “inner circle” for Peter; though the group would find themselves having turbulent issues with sticking together after Angelica was outed as a mutant, Alexander began to lash out at his friends due to his personal angst, and Eddie’s apparent attitude led to trouble with the law. Before Peter’s freshman year had even really taken off things seemed to have taken a bad turn— and it was only the beginning.  

[color=D22626]◉◉◉◉ [b]ORIGINS[/b] [i]2011[/i][/color]

A field trip to an OsCorp facility would lead to Peter being bitten by an experimental spider. An event that would change his life forever.

Feeling sick after the incident, Peter returned home as he passed out quickly in his bedroom not knowing that his genetic makeup was being changed; a change that would include various powers and abilities that for the next coming weeks he would struggle to understand and utilize. After accidently hurting a bully (and star quarterback) by the name of [b]Flash Thompson[/b] at school, Peter realized his newfound strength, speed, and senses could allow him to do anything he wanted; the fact that he would no longer be bullied and targeted present on his mind as he got a stern talking to from Uncle Ben on the way home. It would be the first lecture and advice that he ignored as Peter found himself wallowing in his own teenaged angst at the time. But the words spoken to Peter at the time would make an impact in the months to come— “With great power comes great responsibility.”

Then there was a gunshot in the darkness of the night and then the world stopped making sense. The death of Uncle Ben was an unfortunate occurrence that happened because of Peter’s angst-fueled perspective that he could do as he pleased and that a lone gunman wasn’t his problem; that it didn’t concern him. His feelings changed when that very same gunman would pull the trigger on the only real father figure Peter ever knew. In a flurry of emotions, Peter chased the gunman to a nearby warehouse; only then realizing that his apathy and lack of real courage had led to his uncle’s death. Uncle Ben had been killed and there was only one person Peter could blame— himself. Shaken out of his foolish angst, Peter returned home in tears. He had to be better than he was, he would never forget or ignore the advice that he had been taught ever again. So began the genesis of Spider-Man.

[color=D22626]◉◉◉◉ [b]GOBLIN[/b] [i]2014[/i][/color]

In the shadows of New York City, Peter Parker was being watched— and soon he would face his toughest foe yet.

Obsessed by the spectacular debut of Spider-Man and his continued “adventures”, [b]Norman Osborn[/b] was on the edge. Though, this was not uniquely the fault of the incident that happened that led Peter to become Spider-Man. Truthfully, OsCorp was teetering on the edge and the company he had established in 1984 as a technological giant to bring a new age of technology and industry forward was in a state of crisis. Over the last twenty years of looking for the brightest minds in science and bringing them together to re-create the same brilliance of chemistry that was the original 1942 super soldier serum, the only thing Norman had was failures, sabotages, and debt. With over several hundred millions of dollars sunk into his “vanity project” he had put his company’s future at risk— and it was driving him [i]insane[/i]. Coupled with several rejected weapon projects by the Untied States government as well as private interests overseas, the loss of the majority of his genius employees such as [b]Dr. Curt Connors[/b] and [b]Dr. Calypso Ezili[/b], corporate espionage by whom he believed was Wayne Enterprises, and “superhero”-related incidents that put his facilities and ethnics under investigation; OsCorp was [i]sinking[/i] and there seemed to be no feasible way to dig it out.

And here he saw Spider-Man. A byproduct of his work with Dr. Connors. Spider-Man was his [i]hope[/i] and his [i]savior[/i]. All he had to do was [i]have[/i] him. It would be convenient that he knew just who he was.

Bringing on his former colleague, [b]Mendel Stromm[/b], Norman decides to refine what was left of the snippets of super soldier serum projects he had obtained— but he’d need a catalyst to bring it together. He needed Peter’s DNA and once he could acquire it then the project that could save his company could be created skipping years of research and delicate experimentation. He could have what he wanted his whole life in an instant and safeguard his life’s work. It was here that Norman decided to pay a visit to Peter’s high school and offer an internship to the students who would meet his requirements; after talking to the school’s principal the plan was in motion. He would pick five lucky students. But all he really wanted was one. Norman was always good at planning, a fact that became clear as several weeks later he brought each of the five prospective students to the main offices to give them further interviews and talk with each of them. Norman never gave any hints of his intentions and during a conversation with Peter Norman acquires his DNA after he offers him a glass of water. Despite feeling oddly uneasy, Peter never suspects a thing. Norman hurries back to his lab. 

In no time at all, Peter’s DNA is clipped together with other snippets of chemically altered organisms. But it’s untested and instable. Norman may be a brilliant chemist but he is uncertain about what the abilities inside the experimental serum might hold— the chance that the catalytic DNA warped and mutated is a likelihood he cannot afford to play around with. But the longer he waits, the sooner OsCorp’s future dims. In desperation he calls in one of the lab assistants, [b]Nels Van Adder[/b], and forces him to take part. Norman doesn’t have the patience into making Nels believe it is his idea. He [i]needs[/i] to see results. However, the results are horrific as the serum conflicts with Nels Van Adder’s latent metagene and he transforms into a monster. Driven insane but also garnering superhuman reflexes and senses, Nels’ attacks Osborn and Stromm— sending the latter across the room. The appearance of OsCorp Chief of Security, [b]Arthur Stacy[/b], ends the confrontation as he distracts Nels’ long enough for Norman to retrieve one of his experimental weapons from a nearby table and killing Nels’ on the spot. Arthur is convinced to keep silent on what he had seen and what he suspects Norman had [i]created[/i]. A creation that Norman would dissect on the very same table he had forced Nels’ to be injected on.

Over the next few weeks, he would find his answers— and a refined serum is created that Norman dubs the “Goblin Formula”, a naming convention originating from Nels’ goblin-like mutated appearance. Bringing on [b]Dr. Conrad Marcus[/b], an expert in genetics, on-board to help him refine the formula alongside himself and Stromm refinement of the formula seems to progress quickly. Upon learning that the side effects on the negative scale can possibly affect what Norman designates as “underdeveloped brains” the businessman begins to weigh in what the serum can do before a group of interested parties within the government. However, the serum is written off for being too dangerous and unsuitable for government agents. Infuriated that one of the sole things that could bring the world into a new age as well as save his company has been [i]rejected[/i] Norman returns to his lab. This time he would show them what a fit mind and body could do with the serum. He injects himself.

Norman dons a prototype armored suit, an experimental hover glider, and some explosives. He kills the men who rejected him and goes on a rampage. His rage and madness growing by the minute, he finds himself tangling with Spider-Man for the very first time. He blames him for what has happened. Throughout the several weeks and months that follow, Norman (now the Green Goblin) is sick of Spider-Man beating him at every turn and making a fool of his clearly superior intelligence. He kidnaps the two most important women in Peter’s life— Gwendolyne Stacy and May Parker. He leaves a calling card for Peter to find and the two have a showdown at the construction site of a new Fisk Industries skyscraper that is to become the second Fisk Tower. Norman in a delusional, demented, and insane monologue tells Peter that he has to “choose” or he drops them both; as Norman expected Peter refuses and he shows him that he’s made the wrong decision. Peter attempts to save both of them using his webbing, but as it turns out— he’s low on fluid and now one very important person in his life is dead: Aunt May.

Peter nearly kills Norman in the aftermath of the tragedy; but eventually Norman is apprehended by the police.

Peter decides to quit being Spider-Man.

[color=D22626]◉◉◉◉ [b]HIATUS & RETURN[/b] [i]2016- [/i][/color]

By 2016, Peter still hadn’t dusted off his suit— still languishing from his loss, the spark inside him still had not been lit. As far as he was concerned the fact Spider-Man wasn’t out there endangering other people’s lives made their lives safer; though it was more to do with how he felt about his “great power” and the “responsibility” that came with it. The world had stopped making sense for him and he began presuming the responsibility that came with his metahuman abilities was to not use them. After all, everything he had done as Spider-Man had complicated, hurt, or destroyed people’s entire lives. They were [i]better off[/i]. Peter refused to return to his old ways. However, that was soon to change.

At the backend of the month of February, Peter would be [i]forced[/i] into action. A string of murders had infiltrated Queens during the winter break. Initially these murders were believed by NYPD Detective Harrison Thompson to be the handiwork of three unrelated mass murders who originated in Gotham City, though such theories were disproved when the killer resurfaced in the second week of January carrying the same motif as the previous murders committed. Peter is unnerved by the killings and finds the temptation to return to being Spider-Man but only convinces himself after one of his classmates and close friends, [REDACTED} is kidnapped by the killer. As a race against time begins, Peter reluctantly returns to his calling as he learns that the killer himself has a motif way too familiar (albeit “out of season”) as he faces the serial killer to be known as the [b]Jack O’Lantern[/b]— a serial killer who has clearly stolen OsCorp technology and possibly idolizes The Green Goblin. A fight ensues and all is back to normal upon the killer's capture.

Spider-Man was back.

For the next month, Peter is back to his old tricks— bank robberies, gang violence, and so forth are reintroduced to Spider-Man’s particular brand of annoying superheroism. During this time he crosses paths with the enigmatic (and slightly insane) [b]Moon Knight[/b] who briefly aligns with Spider-Man during a conflict with [b]Big Ben Donovan[/b], a distinct criminal warlord in New York City (and one of [b]The Kingpin[/b]’s lieutenants). Ben’s employ of Aleksei Sytsevich aka The Rhino is what originally brings Peter into the conflict and soon he realizes he’s quite in over his head; especially considering how “rusty” he is. Despite this, The Rhino and Big Ben Donovan’s plot by proxy is shut down and things go back to normal. Sort of.

During the Kryptonian Invasion— Peter attempted to get civilians out of harm’s way while dealing with the rampant criminal chaos caused by “end of the world-itis”. Peter was back in the spotlight and for the first time in the history of the Daily Bugle he got a favorable (albeit tiny) review. However, it wasn’t going to last.[/color][/indent]
	[color=D22626][sub]C A S T[/sub][/color][hr][indent][color=7e6e75]

[hider=Friends & Allies][b]Moon Knight (Marc Spector):[/b] The vigilante highest on Spider-Man’s list to “not piss off” due to a variety of reasons— including the particular belief that Peter thinks Moon Knight is the most unhinged insane superhero in all of New York City. There’s also the fact that Moon Knight is one of the few individuals to deduce Spider-Man’s secret identity and is probably reason number one why Peter is scared shitless of him. Regardless of his discomfort, the two have worked together on occasion when the necessity has arisen.

[b]White Tiger (Ava Ayala):[/b] Spider-Man has been an ally to both iterations of the Tiger of the Bronx, but finds himself on “iffy” terms with the new White Tiger’s sense of zeal, rage, and long list of emotional baggage. Most often Peter tries to keep his distance with the female vigilante but also at times thinks it’s his responsibility to keep an eye out for her due to how dangerous she is to others but also herself. 

[hr][hr]
[b]Gwendolyne Stacy:[/b]

[b]Oliver Osnick:[/b] Unlike a lot of contemporary versions of the character in past games, Peter’s closest friend is actually Oliver Osnick who grew up in the same neighborhood as him and his childhood friends. Oliver is just as intelligent as he is in mainstream comics though he is decidedly younger and hasn’t developed much in forms of technological gadgets. The intention with Oliver is that he can be one of Peter’s friends who is actually into science as well as a confidant for Peter’s heroic activities as Spider-Man.

[b]Eddie Brock:[/b]

[b]Angelica Jones:[/b] Revealed to be a mutant during Peter’s Freshmen Year of High School, Angelica was the glue that kept her friends together.

Unbeknownst to Peter however, Angelica has become a member of the X-Men under the alias of Firestar.

[b]Alexander O’Hirn:[/b] One of Peter’s former friends. Following the news that Angelica was a mutant and had to leave the city he has become a volatile and temperamental teenager. In a fit to prove to everyone he isn’t a weak “nerd” he has decided to opt into joining the Armed Forces.

[b]Professor Otto Octavius:[/b] A professor at Empire State University, and former friend and colleague to Richard Parker.

Initially Peter presumed he was trying to get his aunt on the “rebound” but evidence has suggested anything but. Keating has become a friend for Peter and occasionally an ally with a wealth of information since.
[/hider]
[hider=Enemies][b]Basilisk (Basil Elks):[/b] An experienced con man and thief who has been recently mutated by one of his finds— a Kree artifact called The Alpha Stone. Peter has yet to tangle with him, but is the first on the scene to the destroyed museum Elks has left in ruins.

He blames The Daily Bugle’s reporting for losing his job and his reputation— he refuses to allow anyone make a fool out of him. 

[b]Electro (Maxwell Dillion):[/b]

[b]The Green Goblin (Norman Osborn):[/b] The former CEO and founder of The Osborn Corporation (OsCorp)— and Peter’s nemesis. Norman Osborn was originally one of the scientists that served as a personal hero when he was younger. A genius chemist with a knack for mechanical engineering and robotics, Norman during a brief moment was one of the most lauded scientific minds that came out of the cynical eighties with a passion and dream that was unparalleled. He had mentored under Howard Stark and was a founding member of Horizon Labs before going his own way by the time he was twenty-six with his own corporation. However, with his genius falling into madness Norman has since nearly lost it all as he has dubbed himself “The Green Goblin” and the personal enemy of Spider-Man. Following his defeat he sits in New York City’s mental asylum for the criminally and mentally ill known as Ravencroft.

[b]Jack O'Lantern (“Jack”):[/b]

[b]The Rhino (Aleksei Sytsevich):[/b] A member of the Dimitrov Crime Family, and one of the key enforcers for their operations in New York City. Following his first entanglement with Spider-Man he has “upgraded” his arsenal with an experimental armored suit that was designed by Justin Hammer. He is out for revenge.

[b]Sandman (Flint Marko):[/b]

[b]Speed Demon (James Sanders):[/b] A criminal who has developed super speed after an incident with a set of chemicals.
