Peter Benjamin Parker, a.k.a. The Amazing Spider-Man

[u][b]Origin and Brief Bio[/b][/u] 
Bitten by a genetically altered spider on a class field trip 10 years ago, teenage science prodigy Peter Parker soon discovered that the arachnid had transferred it's relative abilities onto his DNA. From finding himself scaling walls as easily as he could walk to lifting objects more than twice his size, Peter was overtaken with joy at living a science fiction fan's dream, comparing his experience to Kafka's "The Metamorphisis". 

But rather than use his powers for the good of others, Parker had to learn the hard way that the path of virtue was the path best taken, as his foolhardy attempts to gain fame and fortune led to the escape of an eager mugger shuffling past him to get away. That mugger would later take the life of Peter's beloved Uncle Ben, making him directly responsible. And so he learned that with great power, there must also come great responsibility - the resulting lesson transforming him into the masked crimefighting superhero known as Spider-Man. 

In the decade since Peter's life-changing transformation, he's seen his fair share of adventures - from battling egomanical and superhuman enemies like Doctor Octopus, The Green Goblin, The Vulture, The Rhino, and Mysterio, among others, to suffering his fair share of further tragedy with the deaths of girlfriend Gwen Stacy, best friend Harry Osborn, and Gwen's father, Captain George Stacy. And having also seen some bizarre further transformations occur as a result of his powers - from bonding to an alien symbiote that briefly enhanced his powers before realizing it was trying to control him to accidentally turning himself into a giant a six-armed mutant spider, it's safe to say that Parker's life experience has varied compared to others.

Now at 25, Peter's finally managed to hanker down and maintain a stable balance within his dual personas. Having recently become engaged to his college girlfriend Mary Jane Watson, Peter spends his days as a website editor and occasional photographer for The Daily Bugle, getting chewed out by his maniacal boss J. Jonah Jameson, looking after his aging Aunt May, and occasionally throwing his fist into the face of a madman made of sand and/or electricity. But he's started to wonder... has a life of being Spider-Man started to take it's toll?

[u][b]Powers and Abilities[/b][/u]
The superhuman strength, reflexes, and agility proportionate to that of a spider, a sixth sense that warns him of impending danger, and the ability to stick to most surfaces. Gifted with a highly scientific mind, Peter also invented a pair of wrist-mounted web-spinners that he uses for a variety of purposes.

[b]"Boy, there's just nothing I love more than being rained out on a swing home!"[/b]

I grumble to myself as the rain, almost as if the universe itself is sensing the wedgie building up between my soaked tights, begins pouring down to Biblical proportions over 5th Avenue. On a Wednesday afternoon. Funny enough, I checked the weather on my phone as I was leaving for work this morning. Sunny skies! Not a cloud in them! High of 87!

Now I know how the Yankees feel. Except, you know, I've probably got a better shot of winning the championship than them. Blindfolded, with one hand tied behind my back and no powers. They suck, is what I'm saying to myself. Why am I saying this to myself? 

[b]"Because I'm a sad little man with an inferiority complex."[/b]

Aunt May always used to tell me to think of all the best things in my life on days like this, where it's not so much raining cats and dogs as dumping entire buckets of zoos onto the rooftops ahead of me. She used to tell me, [i]"Peter, for every rainy day in life, you get to enjoy years of sunshine."[/i]

Probably a good time to note that she's never had to get into fights people who can actually [i]control[/i] the weather, but hey, I'm just internally venting here. Poking my hand out infront of me in a vain attempt to see if it's somehow calmed in the forty seconds since I started on the Yankees analogy, I pull back my glove to look at my watch. Mary Jane wanted to see a movie tonight, and I said sure, as long as it's a matinee showing. Looks like someone's paying full price for sticking his foot in his mouth.

[b]"Who am I kidding? That's practically my side career!"[/b], I say to myself, preparing to fire out a webline to brave the storm. [b]"Eh, well. At least no matter what, I'm having a better day than Sandman."[/b]

Just as I say that, the distinct sound of an explosion rings out across Manhattan. My Spider-Sense buzzes loud enough to cause me to jump out from under my perch, somersault upwards, and land on the scaffolding above. 

[b]"Yikes! I think I liked it better when the rain was my enemy..."[/b]

With alarms blaring from what appears to be the Fifth National Bank, I sigh to myself and briefly consider sending MJ an apology text. But then I remember that I don't have my phone. Because I'm wearing wet, skintight underpants that can barely even hold spare change.

[b]"Whelp, Parker. You wanted a change of pace from a lousy rainy afternoon."[/b]

Firing off a webline, the rain becomes something of a pelting series of windy scratches, as I sour high into the air and begin to fire another. Aunt May would be proud of me, because I am starting to think positively.

[b]"Can't say you never get what you want."[/b]
