- ―Spider-Man to Michelle Jones[src]
Peter Benjamin Parker[6] is the superhero known as the Amazing Spider-Man[7] or simply Spider-Man[1], and is the son of Richard and Mary Parker. Orphaned at the age of seven[8], Peter was raised by his aunt and uncle over the course of the next few years. Parker's search for answers about the mystery of his parents and their deaths eventually drove him to investigating the establishment of Oscorp, having learned that their employee, Dr. Curt Connors, had been close friends with his father.
In 2013, Peter Parker’s life changed when he was bitten by a genetically modified spider at Oscorp, giving him powers like super strength, speed, and wall-crawling. Since his powers didn’t fill the emptiness he felt about his parents’ mysterious disappearance, Peter discovered that his father had once worked with Dr. Curt Connors at Oscorp on cross-species genetics, a project meant to cure disabilities like Connors’ missing arm. However, their experiments led Connors to transform into the Lizard, who wreaked havoc on New York. Peter managed to stop him, with help from Gwen Stacy and her father, Captain Stacy, who died in the fight. Devastated, Peter promised to protect Gwen by staying away from her, but their bond made it hard to keep that promise.
Over time, Peter became a media sensation as Spider-Man, even though his crime-fighting often clashed with the police. Haunted by visions of Captain Stacy, he and Gwen eventually broke up. At the same time, his childhood friend Harry Osborn re-entered his life, desperate for a cure to a genetic illness that only Spider-Man’s blood might heal. Peter refused, fearing the dangers, leading Harry to team up with Electro, a former Oscorp employee turned supervillain. With Gwen’s help, Peter defeated Electro, but Harry’s attack on Peter resulted in Gwen’s tragic death. Broken, Peter abandoned his role as Spider-Man, drowning in grief and guilt, until he found strength in Gwen’s final words to keep going by defeating the Rhino, though he would still be haunted by Gwen's death for the next decade.
Ten years after Gwen's death, Peter found himself in an alternate universe[n 1], teaming up with two other alternate Spider-Men to cure villains from his own world, including alternate versions of Connors and Electro. In the process, he saved one of the other Spider-Men’s loved ones, giving him closure over Gwen’s loss. Returning to his own universe, Peter felt a renewed sense of peace, ready to keep fighting as Spider-Man.

When Peter protested, his father merely kissed him on the head before his mother crouched in front of him, stroking his hair and telling his aunt about how he liked to eat and sleep before she was ushered out by his father. Peter was simply told by his father to be good, and the pair left as his aunt held him gently.

Peter swings Gwen back down to the streets, telling her he is going after Electro. When Gwen asks him how he'll beat Electro again, Peter says he does not know, that he couldn't create a webbing that blocks electricity. Gwen then tells him to try a car battery, which she then resumes to boast about how she is smarter. Because of her insistence to come, Peter is forced to web Gwen's hand to the hood of a police car, telling her he loves her. This causes Gwen to yell, "Peter!" in the middle of a crowd. Luckily, no one hears her.
Spider-Man swings to the Oscorp Power Plant in time to see Electro. Electro says that once he absorbs all the electricity, he'll be like a god. Spider-Man replies by saying, "A god named Sparkles?", which enrages Electro. Spider-Man attempts to put Electro out again with water. However, Electro avoids it, telling Spider-Man the same trick won't work twice.
A fight ensues, with Electro showing a greater deal more of power thanks to having absorbed most of the plant already. Spider-Man is caught by Electro in his electricity, and just as Electro prepares the final blow, Gwen arrives and smashes into Electro with the same police car Spidey had webbed her to.

Spider-Man begins bobbing and weaving around electric blasts, frustrating Electro. Spider-Man plans to web together the destroyed generators and somehow get Electro to connect to it, then overload and defeat Electro. As the battle between Spider-Man and Electro resumes, Spider-Man maneuvers around electric blasts and manages to web Electro up temporarily. He takes the opportunity to web the generators back together. Just as he prepares to tie them together, Electro breaks free and holds Spider-Man steadfast in a powerful charge of electricity. Gwen looks on in worry as Spider-Man struggles to fight the electricity. He finally manages to tie the generators together and yells, "Now Gwen, Now, do it now!!!". Gwen presses on the button, which reactivates the plant. The electricity surges through the web, through Spider-Man (his suit is rubberized, so he's protected), and into Electro. Electro overloads and then explodes. Spider-Man lies on the ground, sore, exhausted, and relieved.
Gwen's Death

The figure flies around the plant and lands between Spider-Man and Gwen. The stranger licks his lips and grins at Spider-Man. Spider-Man begins to see who this stranger really is.

Peter protests and says that he was only trying to protect Harry. Harry then says that Spider-Man doesn't give hope, he only takes it away. "And now I'm gonna take yours", Harry growls. Peter immediately tells Gwen to run, but Harry still manages to grab her before she can run. Peter swings hurriedly after them, begging Harry to stop this. They eventually come to the top of the clock tower near the plant. Harry hovers menacingly above Peter, with Gwen's life hanging in his two malevolent hands. Gwen tries to talk to Harry, but Harry snaps back that Harry is now dead. Peter begs Harry to let her go and fight him instead. Harry reluctantly agrees, but then just drops Gwen. Peter leaps up and grabs her and breaks her fall as they crash through the top of the clock tower. He asks if she is alright and she says no. Right then, a bomb drops by them both.

One day, during the year 2024, Spider-Man appeared suddenly in an alternate reality of New York City. Using his scientific knowledge of string theory and the Multiverse, he deduced that he was in an alternate universe. Unknown to him, alternate versions of Lizard and Electro were transported to this universe as well. As Spider-Man navigated the new place, an Inter-Dimensional Portal to the Leeds Residence opened in front of him, where he saw Ned Leeds and Michelle Jones calling out for their universe's Peter Parker.
Spider-Man unmasks himself
Spider-Man went through the portal completely suited up, frightening Leeds' grandmother. As he unmasked, Spider-Man introduced himself as the Peter Parker of his universe. He then asked if the Multiverse was real, realizing that he had been right in his studies. Leeds mentioned magic and Spider-Man asked if magic existed as well, in which Jones tried to change the subject.
Spider-Man meets his older self
Still not convinced that he was really Spider-Man, Jones asked him to prove it. Spider-Man crawled on the ceiling to help Leeds' grandmother remove cobwebs in the corner, causing Jones and Leeds to realize that they had summoned an entirely different version of Spider-Man. Jones urged Leeds to continue searching for their Peter Parker by opening another portal. Instead, they summoned another alternate Peter Parker, who was much older. Spider-Man confronted his older counterpart, who realized that he was not Leeds' and Jones' Parker, and shot a web at him, only for the alternate Parker to shoot a web back and perform a flip, proving that he was another Spider-Man.
Spider-Man deduces where his alternate self is
The older Parker explained that he had seen Leeds and Jones on the news and sensed that their universe's Peter Parker needed help. Sandman's Parker urged Leeds and Jones to think of where their friend would go to clear his mind, Spider-Man admitted that for him, it was the Empire State Building because of the view, while the older variant of Parker preferred the Chrysler Building.
Spider-Man and Spider-Man see their alternate self
Jones and Leeds deduced where their Parker would be and brought them to the Midtown School of Science and Technology, where they found their Parker on top of the roof, crying and in despair over the death of his aunt May. Spider-Man attempted to console his younger alternate self, explaining that he was familiar with loss, but the native Spider-Man stopped him, too distraught over his own mistakes to listen or care. The native Spider-Man confessed that he no longer wished to save anyone and simply wanted them to return to their universes.
Spider-Man talks about Gwendolyne Stacy
Before Ned and Michelle's Spider-Man could use the Macchina di Kadavus to send them home, the older Parker explained that he lost his uncle Ben Parker because of his own actions and witnessing the death of Ben's supposed killer didn't ease the pain. In conjunction, to help the younger, alternate self cope and realize that he was not alone, Spider-Man confessed his own guilt of not being able to save his girlfriend, Gwen Stacy, admitting how her death made him rageful, bitter, and violent. Both Spider-Man and the older Spider-Man explained to the young Spider-Man that they did not want him to lead a path of darkness like them, encouraging him to honor his aunt's final wish by curing all the universe-displaced people.
Working on Cures
Spider-Man working on the Reptillian Antidote
After managing to convince his alternate self, the group decided to retreat to one of Midtown's laboratory rooms in order to engineer cures for their past enemies. Parker decided to develop Lizard's anti-serum, having made one before for his Connors, while the older Parker created the one for Green Goblin. The Parkers, Jones, and Leeds together engineered cures for Electro, Green Goblin, Lizard, and Sandman, and then devised a plan to bring their adversaries all to one spot using the Macchina as a lure. Before leaving, Parker asked the older Parker if he had his suit, which he did underneath his civilian clothes. He was then amazed to see he can shoot organic webs and wondered how that was possible.
Battle at Liberty Island
Spider-Man at the Statue of Liberty
- "I keep yelling at you, Peter-Two, Peter-Two!"
"No, but I thought you were Peter-Two."
"Stop arguing, both of you! Listen to Peter-One!" - ―Spider-Man, Spider-Man, and Spider-Man[src]
Spider-Man and his counterparts then travelled to the Statue of Liberty, using an Inter-Dimensional Portal opened by Ned Leeds. While Michelle Jones' Spider-Man deliberately broadcast their location, Spider-Man noticed that Sandman's Spider-Man had back issues and shared that he did, too. He then asked if he could crack it, which Sandman's Spider-Man agreed to let him, and he cracked his's back to ease the back pain, relating to what he was feeling. With time to spare, Spider-Man then asked how the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man was able to naturally shoot webs without the need for Web-Shooters.
Spider-Man reunites with Electro
As Jones' Spider-Man asked what kind of villains they had faced besides the current ones, the older Spider-Man discussed having fought a black symbiote. Jones' Spider-Man then told them about fighting a purple alien in space and on Earth, much to both of their surprises. Spider-Man expressed a desire to fight aliens of his own, feeling that he was "lame" for fighting men like the Rhino, prompting the other Spider-Men to assure him that he was amazing in his own way. The three Spider-Men suddenly sensed that Electro had arrived, followed by Lizard and Sandman. Spider-Man faced Electro and attempted to obtain the cure from the native Spider-Man but failed to coordinate well with his counterparts, leading to several early setbacks.
Spider-Man working together with his counterparts
As they regrouped, Spider-Man and the older Spider-Man both announced that they had never worked as a team and didn't know how. The younger Spider-Man took command due to his experience with the Avengers, although Spider-Man and the older one were unaware of what the Avengers were as they didn't exist in their home universes, and thought they were a band name.
Spider-Man reunites with Lizard after 11 years.
Michelle Jones' Spider-Man urged them to trust their Spider-Sense, and the three decided to coordinate their attacks by focusing on one villain at a time, as well as naming each other, by Peter-One, Peter-Two, and Peter-Three. Spider-Man was listed as Peter-Three. The group then swung together as Spider-Men with a new spirit of teamwork. Spider-Man attacked Lizard, while Peter-Two attacked Sandman, and Peter-One attacked Electro.
Spider-Man teams up with his counterparts in an intense battle, where the three aim to cure all the multiversal villains.
Returning to battle, Spider-Man retrieved Sandman's cure, passing it on to Peter-One to pass off to Peter-Two, while he continued to fight off against Lizard on his own, eventually webbing him up with his web fluid while he decided to descend at the top of the Statue towards Electro, with his cure in hopes of curing him.
Spider-Man being shocked by an alternate Dillon, mimicking a way he got zapped by the native Dillon many years ago.
Upon reaching at the top of the Statue, Spider-Man and Peter-Two one attempted to steal the Arc Reactor from Electro but were overwhelmed by his electricity powers. They were saved by Otto Octavius, who swapped the Arc Reactor with the cure, depriving Electro of his powers and his insanity. Spider-Man then spoke with Electro, who had been returned to his normal self as Dillon, who lamented that he would return to being a nobody as no one recognized him in their universe. However, Spider-Man assured Dillon that he never was a nobody in their universe and he had noticed him. Dillon then told Spider-Man that he had hoped he had been black though, wondering if there was a black Spider-Man out there, in which Spider-Man agreed could be possible.
Afterwards, Doctor Strange arrived and was introduced to Spider-Man and Sandman's Spider-Man by the native Spider-Man. Before they could talk further, Green Goblin suddenly arrived, attacking them with Razor Bats, and stealing the Macchina di Kadavus from Strange. When Strange retrieved the Macchina, all Spider-Men noticed a Pumpkin Bomb inside it and became alarmed. It detonated, destroying the Macchina and unleashing the unstable spell, which caused a dimensional rift in the Multiverse to open.
Spider-Man talking to Doctor Strange
This action also toppled the Statue, causing Michelle Jones to fall off the scaffolding. When the native Spider-Man leaped to catch her, Goblin knocked him aside, forcing a shocked Spider-Man to jump down and save her himself. Redeemed for his failure to save Gwen Stacy when she died in a similar way, he became emotional but soon composed himself.
Return to his Universe
Spider-Man decided to save Michelle Jones, to prevent his failure for not being quick enough to save Gwendolyne Stacy.
As dawn broke, Spider-Man watched in horror as Jones' Spider-Man, consumed by far more ferocity and savagery than before, faced off against Green Goblin and violently and aggressively beat him up. Before the younger Spider-Man could deal the fatal blow, however, the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man intervened, but was promptly non-fatally stabbed in the back by Goblin. As Sandman's Spider-Man managed to survive, Spider-Man threw the young Spider-Man the cure, which the latter, still consumed by rage, injected Goblin with, restoring Norman Osborn back to his normal self. Spider-Man tended to his counterpart who was stabbed by Goblin, who was not mortally injured as he had been stabbed before, as the native Spider-Man helped Doctor Strange fix the spell by modifying it so that the universe would no longer remember him. The three Spider-Men embraced and exchanged goodbyes. Strange then cast the spell, returning all the universe-displaced to their home universes with him putting a peace sign up to his older counterpart before departure.

Peter was later mentioned to have joined the Spider-Army to oppose the Inheritors on Earth-001. Wearing his original suit, he was seen fighting within the ranks of the Spider-Army against the Inheritors yet again on Earth-616.
Monitored Across the Spider-Verse
Spider-Man mourning the loss of George Stacy is recorded as a Canon Event
As Spider-Man 2099 was teaching Miles Morales about the concept of a Canon Event, and how it is a constant throughout each universe within the Spider-Verse, footage of Peter Parker was presented that showed him at the death of George Stacy and how his death is a Canon Event.
Additionally, O'Hara had previously mentioned how the incident that occurred in Earth-199999 which was caused by Doctor Strange and Spider-Man caused a turbulence within the Spider-Verse, an incident that Peter participated in.[13]
Future
To be added
Personality
Peter Parker was an intelligent yet sarcastic individual, and had hard times moving on following the deaths of certain people such as George Stacy, Gwendolyne Stacy and his uncle Ben Parker.
- "I couldn't save her. I'm never going to be able to forgive myself for that."
- ―Spider-Man[src]
Peter Parker had all the qualities of a 17-year old crimefighter; shy, smart, broody, aggressive, sarcastic, troubled, awkward, and intelligent. Peter never truly got over his parents leaving him and then dying in an unfortunate plane crash, he possesses a scientific curiosity and is considered something of a geek at his school which made him a target for the local bully, Flash Thompson. This incarnation of Peter put more emphasis on the angst that a teenager would have. Peter had a tendency to use humor as a defensive mechanic, a trait that was only amplified when he became Spider-Man using sarcasm and wittiness before and during his fight with criminals.
However behind this naturally upbeat demeanor Peter also possesses a tragic and lonely side, brought on by the immense guilt of the deaths of the people he held close, most specifically his Uncle Ben who's killer Peter met and actually let walk free simply to spite the owner of a convenience store. Another contributing factor for his guilt was his crush, Gwen Stacy's father dying at the hands of The Lizard while trying to save Spider-Man and with his dying breath he asks that Peter keep his daughter out of his vigilante activities which he fails to honor and this causes PTSD and even hallucinations. What proved to be a final straw for Peter was the woman he loved, Gwen Stacy died in his arms during a fight with The Green Goblin and for a few months he hung up being Spider-Man but eventually returned when the city was under threat.
Parker was regarded as one of the best in Midtown Science High School
Peter also had a vengeful side to him, specifically before he truly become Spider-Man he used his newfound powers to search for the criminal who killed his Uncle Ben and presumably planned to return the favor however it quickly evolved into something more righteous. This was also shown when he humiliated the bully Flash in front of his entire basketball team. After getting his newfound powers form Oscorp, Peter had difficulty controlling them and was unintentionally destructive which was shown when he destroyed his bathroom, a football goal, a basketball net and the front door. He also took his time to torment a car thief that he thought could've killed his uncle, and even intended to kill him at one point even though he didn't need to.
Peter was also something of a poor liar, every night he would return home with different scars and would tell a ridiculous story to cover it up. Peter eventually became obsessed over finding out what happened to his parents.
Peter could not have the ability to forgive himself after losing Gwen.
Although he retained most of his overall qualities, Peter was shown to be immensely depressed over his failure to save Gwen, even hinting that he resorted to killing criminals in his bitterness and rage. He also showed to be self-loathing, to the point of calling himself lamer than his other counterparts, having fought Rhino while the other two both fought aliens. However, this changed when his older variant repeatedly told him that he was amazing and not to have a low opinion on himself. After saving MJ, Peter finally overcame his depression due to redeeming himself for not being able to save Gwen. When he returned to his universe, he was notably more happy and content with himself.
Powers and Abilities
- "He was bitten by one of those things, and it worked. I don't know how, and I don't know why, but... he can do everything else a spider can, including self-heal."
- ―Harry Osborn[src]
Powers
- "Nice arm."
"It's just the wrist. It's just all in the wrist, buddy." - ―Peter Parker and Harry Osborn[src]
Spider-Man holding back a 37,000lb bus.
Spider Physiology: After being bitten by a genetically engineered spider, Peter Parker developed a number of superhuman abilities; the bite triggered numerous body-wide changes within Parker, granting him superhuman strength, speed and agility, toughened flesh, the ability to adhere to surfaces and a supernatural spider-sense;
- Superhuman Strength: As a result of the spider's bite, Peter possesses the proportionate strength of a spider; affording him considerable superhuman strength, far superior to that of any ordinary Human. Peter's muscles are stronger and more efficient; he is shown to be able to easily overpower, lift, and toss normal humans, pull apart guns, destroy his alarm clock by merely hitting it, shattering the backboard of a basketball hoop at school, and doing the same to his front door glass panel when he slammed the door shut, swing at high velocities on a rope or web, hold a van with one hand while hanging from a web, throw a football hard enough to dent a goalpost, exert enough force to prevent a bus from crashing into two bystanders, rip a fire hydrant out of the ground with his webbing, and catch a falling police car (as well as other cars with his webbing). He has restrained The Lizard, swing around and weaponize a manhole cover, and poke a hole in his own webbing (which is 10 times the tensile strength of steel and could pull jets). His strength also allows him to jump higher and farther than a normal human, easily capable of jumping from one building over a street to the next. Spider-Man's strength is great enough to lift 18.5 tons.[14]
Spider-Man withstanding Electro's attacks.
- Superhuman Durability: Peter's body is physically tougher and more resistant to injury than the body of a normal human; after being affected by the modified spider bite, peter’s muscles and flesh had become tougher and stronger. Peter has endured falls from hundreds of feet in the air, slash wounds to the chest, gunshot wounds, the shock from a taser, high voltage electric shocks, as well as high velocity impacts such as being smashed into brick walls, with only minimal injuries and discomfort.
- Superhuman Speed: Peter is able to run and move at superhuman speeds, faster than any regular human; on-foot he can easily outpace normal humans, and keep up with accelerating vehicles, however he is able to better traverse by web-swinging. Peter was able to quickly take down multiple armed officers in a matter of seconds, and outmanoeuvre other enhanced individuals; such as the Lizard and Harry Osborn.
- Superhuman Agility: Peter’s agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to tremendous superhuman levels; he is able to easily run, move, jump, and climb, as well as perform advanced physical acrobatic and gymnastic feats. Peter’s agility, flexibility, and acrobatic prowess is superior to even the most accomplished circus aerialists and acrobats, being akin to that of a spider; he is able to perform high jumps, somersaults, and flips with ease.
- Superhuman Stamina: Peter's advanced musculature produces fewer fatigue toxins during physical activity than an ordinary human; he is able to exert himself in a superhuman capacity, and for considerably longer than a normal Human. Peter is also able to continue to function, despite considerable injury; such as when he had been shot in the leg, and had to swing across the city in order to engage the lizard in combat.
- "Good reflexes."
- ―Curt Connors[src]
Spider-Man dodging a bullet at close range.
- Superhuman Reflexes: Peter's reflexes operate so fast that with the assistance of his Spider-Sense, he is able to easily evade gunfire even from close range. His reflexes are roughly 35 times faster than that of a regular human.
- "Just shake it off, it's just your bones, your muscles, and your organs."
- ―Spider-Man, recovering from his battle against Electro[src]
- Accelerated healing factor: Peter's metabolism is greater thus allowing him to rapidly heal faster than normal humans. He may also be more immune to toxins and alcohol and drugs or could rapidly lose their effects quicker. It is unknown if his healing is fast enough to affect his aging. He healed from the slashes that were on his chest and a gunshot wound to his leg without medical attention.
- Superhuman senses: Peter's senses appear to be heightened, especially when used in conjunction with his spider-sense. However, his sight appeared to be unchanged after the spider bite, as he still had to use his glasses, he later presumably stops wearing contacts throughout most of the first film. However, he has used vibrations to sense potential enemies much like most real spiders.
- Superhuman Hearing: Peter is able to hear any danger, via spider sense while he'll hear that it also may warn him of any danger.
- Superhuman Balance: Peter is able to perfectly balance on any object no matter how small or narrow with little effort even with two fingers.
- Spider-Sense: A tingling sensation in Peter's skull warns him of danger, where it is coming from and how to avoid it noted by a subtle "thunk" that sounds like a combination of someone hitting a bass drum once immediately followed by a high pitched bell ringing sound. It seems likely that the stronger the tingling, the more imminent and threatening the danger is and that Peter can ignore it through intense concentration, and if he is exhausted or distracted it can lose some effectiveness. This power is passive and not fully controlled by Peter. His Spider-Sense is stronger than his counterparts, as it was able to detect danger from long distance’s as it detected Max in Times Square when he was absorbing electricity.
Parker glimpsing his new powers.
- Wallcrawling: Although not explained at all, it's most likely like his mainstream and Ultimate counterparts where Spider-Man's exposure to the mutated spider venom induced a cerebellum-wide alteration of his engrams resulting in the ability to mentally control the flux of inter-atomic attraction between molecular boundary layers. This overcomes the outer electron shell's normal behavior of mutual repulsion with other outer electron shells and permits the tremendous potential for electron attraction to prevail. The mentally controlled sub-atomic particle responsible for this has yet to be identified. This ability to affect the attraction between surfaces is so far limited to Spider-Man's body and another object, with an upper limit of several tons per finger. This ability appears to be consciously used. Although can be activated by stress or altered states of consciousness as seen twice when he awakens from slumber.
Abilities
- "He's one of Midtown Science's best and brightest."
- ―Gwendolyne Stacy[src]
- Genius-Level Intelligence: Peter is very smart, specifically in engineering, chemistry and physics. His uncle Ben, of his own admission, stopped being able to help him with his homework when he was 10. He is smart enough to design a computer-activated door lock, perfect his father's webbing formula and to construct working mechanical web-shooters. He also apparently solves a formula that is key to creating the formula that mutates Curt Connors into the Lizard. He also had a perfectly-solved Rubik's Cube on his desk.
- Expert Combatant: Using a mixture of his superhuman strength, speed, agility, reflexes, equilibrium, Spider-Sense, and Web-Shooters, Peter is able to utilize a devastating acrobatic fighting style that makes him a formidable opponent and allowed him to easily take down thugs, cops and even the more physically powerful Lizard. His fighting style also appears to incorporate professional wrestling techniques, as seen when he used a Frankensteiner on a car thief.
- "I'm swinging here!"
- ―Spider-Man[src]
- Master Acrobat: Due to Peter's superhuman physical powers, he easily surpasses normal acrobats as he is able to perform somersaults, flips, spins, and cartwheels effortlessly.
- Skateboarding: Before the genetically-altered spider bite, Peter is a very skilled skateboarder and skated everywhere he went.
Spider-Man's second suit
Equipment
- Web-Shooters: After getting his powers, he mysteriously bought Oscorp's Bio-Cable and incorporated the cartridges into his homemade web-shooters.
- Web Fluid: The web fluid, developed by Oscorp, is a shear-thinning liquid, virtually solid until a shearing force is applied to it, rendering it fluid, whose exact formula remains unknown, but originated from the very enhanced spiders that bit him. The web line’s tensile strength is estimated to be 120 pounds per square millimeter of a cross-section.
- Spider-Man suit: Using his knitting skills, Peter crafts a suit, made from mostly spandex, that would allow him to be mobile but would keep his identity hidden. However, since the suit is mostly made from spandex, it does not offer much in terms of protection as it can easily be torn by any type of sharp object that comes in contact with it.
