Origins[]

Peter Benjamin Parker was born in December 1991, and, as he grew up in Queens, New York City developed a close relationship with his aunt May Parker and uncle Ben Parker. In 2007, at the age of 16, he was bitten by a radioactive spider, and gained super-strength, durability, and the power to stick to walls. After losing Ben, he developed special wrist-mounted web-shooters and, using his superhuman abilities, became the superhero known as "Spider-Man".^[1]

Career as Spider-Man[]

As Spider-Man, he operated in New York City for eleven years, became a celebrity of sorts due to his heroics and the hope he inspired in people. Though his true identity was not known, Spider-Man had merchandise, food, and even a Christmas album in his name and image. Using powerful gadgets and working with his Aunt May, he protected the city from several dangerous villains, including the Kingpin, the Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, and the Prowler.

As Peter Parker, he fell in love with the kind and supportive Mary Jane Watson, and eventually married her. He became cocky and humorous, loved the thrill of being Spider-Man and inspiring people, but Peter never lost sight of his true goal of being a hero and protecting New York from the threats that might destroy it, making him a brave, noble, and determined superhero.^[1]

Battle for Kingpin's Collider[]

In 2018, the Kingpin allied himself with Alchemax to create a Super-Collider to open up the multiverse and abduct a version of his deceased wife and son. Spider-Man learned of this and arrived in Kingpin's underground Brooklyn lair to stop the collider, knowing it could destroy New York, but he was stopped by the Green Goblin, and the two engaged in battle. While fighting the Goblin, Peter noticed Miles Morales, a teenaged bystander who had wandered into Kingpin's lair from the subway, and took him to safety. Once they were both safe, Peter's spider-sense told him that he had been bitten by a similar spider to Peter's, and was developing similar powers. Peter offered to teach Miles to be a superhero before he was attacked by the Prowler and held captive by the Goblin.

Soon after, the Kingpin arrived and the Super-Collider was activated, blasting an energy beam at a box with Kingpin's wife and son's DNA inside. Spider-Man and the Goblin continued to battle, resulting in the Goblin shoving Peter into the energy, causing it to pull five other similarly powered individuals from across the multiverse into Peter's native dimension. This overloaded the collider and caused it to explode, killing the Goblin and mortally wounding Spider-Man.

Miles approached the dying Peter, who handed him the USB stick he had planned to use to shut down the collider, and made him promise to do it for him. Miles ran and hid, and the Kingpin and the Prowler approached Peter. When Peter told Kingpin the stakes of his quest, and that he couldn't bring back his family, Kingpin smashed Spider-Man with his fists, killing him instantly.^[1]

Legacy[]

Spider-Man's body was found and unmasked, believed to have been killed by the collider's explosion, which was thought to be an earthquake. The news of his death and true identity broke to the city later that night, resulting in a movement of respect and heroism across the city, including a moving eulogy at a public funeral by Mary Jane.

Peter's words and heroism also inspired Miles to try and be his own hero. With the help of one of the extra-dimensional spider-heroes, Peter B. Parker, he eventually took up the mantle of Spider-Man and become his successor. This alternate Peter also was forced to relearn his ideals of power and responsibility, making him a much stronger person. All of this allowed Miles and the extra-dimensional spider heroes to shut down the collider and defeat the Kingpin, saving the city. Miles then became Spider-Man proper, becoming the resident superhero of Brooklyn, ensuring Peter Parker's legacy of virtue and heroism still going strong even after his demise.^[1]

While investigating the collider incident, Miguel O'Hara, the Spider-Man of Earth-928B, discovered that the anomalies created by it threatened the entire multiverse, including the fact that the radioactive spider that gave Miles his powers wasn't from his native dimension, and that it making him Spider-Man disrupted the entire timeline. Miguel deduced that if Miles hadn't been bitten by the spider, Peter would have survived and shut down the collider, preventing the fracturing of the multiverse in the first place, and so developed a rivalry with Miles in the year 2020, blaming him for the entire catastrophe, as well as Peter's death.^[2]

Peter Parker was at his prime of being Spider-Man. He was optimistic, humorous and kind-hearted. He immediately took Morales under his wing moments after discovering he had spider-powers, sacrificed himself in an attempt to stop Kingpin, and spent his last moments teaching Miles the fundamentals of being Spider-Man to prepare him.^[1]

• Spider Physiology: Peter was bitten by a radioactive spider and he gained the proportionate physical abilities of a spider. He had 11 years of experience.
  • Spider-Sense: Peter's Spider-Sense alerts him to danger as well as the presence of those like him. It not only alerts him of danger to himself but of danger to anyone or anything in general, this was showcased when he sensed Miles in danger from far away. He also has very quick reflexes, as he was able to dodge most of Prowler's attacks.

• Expert Scientist: According to the song "Spidey-Bells," Peter has a degree in chemical engineering.^[1]

• Genius-Level Intellect: Peter was able to make an override key to shut down Kingpin's collider all by himself, he also predicted the possibility of a black hole opening up under Brooklyn due to side effects of the collider, days before Olivia Octavius, the head scientist of Kingpin's project did. He was the first one to realize, way before any Alchemax scientist did, that how catastrophic the consequences of running the collider would be.^[1]

• Master Combatant: Peter is a very skilled fighter. He was able to knock out Green Goblin in less than a minute and fare pretty well against Prowler despite both his hands being engaged with the fragile override key.

• Chris Pine voiced Peter Parker in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
• This version of Peter Parker has blonde hair and blue eyes, an obvious distinction from the brown hair and hazel eyes of most versions of the character. The directors said these features were added as a way to clearly differentiate his and Miles's universe from others.^{[citation needed]}
• Internally during the production of Into the Spider-Verse, Peter was referred to as "RIPeter" to distinguish him from his Earth-616B counterpart.^[3]
• This version of Spider-Man was written as a loose amalgamation of various other versions of Spider-Man. This includes:
  • Spider-Man saved a group of people on an out-of-control subway. This also happened to his Earth-96283 counterpart, and is alluded to have happened to his Earth-1048 countepart as well.
  • Peter and Mary Jane shared an upside-down kiss, similar to the one shared by their Earth-96823 respective variants. However, while the original kiss had Peter hanging upside down by his webs and Mary Jane standing on the ground, this one had Mary Jane hanging from a fire escape ladder by her legs and Peter standing on the ground.
    • Peter's Earth-616B counterpart is also shown to have had a similar kiss with his Mary Jane, this time directly resembling the Earth-96283 kiss.
  • Doc Ock attacked Spider-Man and Mary Jane while they were having a romantic dinner by throwing a car at them through a window. This also happened to their Earth-96283 counterparts, except it was a platonic meeting at a cafe and Peter was not dressed as Spider-Man at the time. Further, this version of Peter punched the car back, while the Earth-96283 version tackled Mary Jane out of the way.
  • Spider-Man saved a bus that had split in two from falling off a bridge by webbing each of its halves and holding them in a cross-like position. This mirrors when his Earth-199999 counterpart held the split Staten Island ferry together in a similar fashion.
  • Spider-Man once danced in the street to the tune of James Brown's "Drive that Funky Soul". His Earth-96283 counterpart did the same thing, but as Peter Parker and while under the influence of the Venom symbiote.
  • Peter's death in front of Miles loosely resembles his Ultimate Universe counterpart's death.
• Peter was 26 years old when he died.^[1]

• This Peter recorded a Christmas album, which was later officially released in real-life as A Very Spidey Christmas.^[1]
• This Peter's birthday was in December, as opposed to most Peter Parker's, who have their birthdays in August.^[1]
