Peter Parker, known as Spider-Man, is a high school student who gains spider-like abilities after being bitten by a genetically altered spider. These powers include superhuman strength, agility, and the ability to cling to surfaces.
Peter’s uncle, Ben Parker, is killed by a criminal that Peter had the chance to stop earlier but chose not to. This tragedy teaches Peter the lesson: "With great power comes great responsibility," which drives him to use his powers to fight crime and protect New York City.
Spider-Man’s alter ego, Peter Parker, juggles his superhero responsibilities with the challenges of being a teenager, including balancing his personal life, academic pressures, and his relationships with friends and family.
