Becoming Spider-Man
In Forest Hills, Queens, New York City, high school student Peter Parker is a science-whiz orphan living with his Uncle Ben and Aunt May. As depicted in Amazing Fantasy #15, he is bitten by a radioactive spider. and "acquires the agility and proportionate strength of an arachnid." Along with super strength, he gains the ability to stick to walls and ceilings. Through his native knack for science, he develops a gadget that lets him fire adhesive webbing of his own design through small, wrist-mounted barrels. Initially seeking to capitalize on his new abilities, he dons a costume and, as "Spider-Man", becomes a novelty television star. However, he ignores the chance to stop a fleeing thief, and his indifference ironically catches up with him when the same criminal later robs and kills his Uncle Ben. After seeing the death of his Uncle Ben, Peter vows to never let a another person get hurt if he help it.
