Spider-Man

"I've been me my whole life, and I've had these powers for 6 months, and I read books, I build computers, and yeah I would love to play football. But I couldn't then so I shouldn't now." "Sure. Cause' you're different." "Exactly. But I can't tell anybody that, so I'm not. When you can do the things that I can, but you don't... and then the bad things happen, they happen because of you."

"So, you're the Spiderling? Crime-Fighting-Spider? Spider-Boy?" "...Spider-Man."

- Tony Stark and Peter Parker

Peter Parker was on his way home from school. Upon entering his apartment and greeting his aunt May, he mentioned that there was a car outside when he realized that they had a famous visitor: Tony Stark. Parker was caught off-guard and speechless about meeting his biggest idol and was confused when Stark told his aunt that Stark Industries planned to give Parker a sizable grant that Stark manages for gifted students (claiming that Peter had signed up for it), which was actually a pretense for Stark to meet Parker. When he realized this, he played along (making up that he had planned to surprise Aunt May with it) and led Stark to his room where they could talk in private.

Peter was shocked, and tried to act nonchalant when Stark showed him footage of the rumored "Spider-Man" that was said to be active in New York City for several months. His videos showed a figure in red and blue clothing apprehending criminals and stopping speeding cars with his bare hands. Stark jokingly wondered if that figure wasn't Parker, to which he reacted with very clumsy excuses that Stark didn't buy, Peter claimed that the video must be fake and that it was somehow made on a computer. Parker's cover blew completely when Stark instantly discovered the secret hiding place of the cheap clothes that Parker used as his costume.

"Ever been to Germany? Oh you're gonna love it there! I can't go to Germany! Why not? I got.. homework. Okay, I'm gonna pretend you didn't just say that."

- Tony Stark and Peter Parker

Parker had no other choice than to confess that he was indeed Spider-Man and has been for about six months. Stark jokingly ridiculed Parker for his cheap costume, but was impressed by, and complimented his self-made Web-Shooters. Landing mainly on the remarkable tensile strength of the synthetic webbing that Peter created. Stark quickly recognized himself in Parker because of his affinity towards science and even more so, when Parker mentions a tragic event in his past that lead to him taking on a responsibility that most people could not take. He decided to take the boy under his wing and invited him to come to Germany with him, to which Peter replied that he had homework to do. Stark jokingly threatened to tell his aunt May that he was Spider-Man to coerce Peter to come with him. While Stark led himself towards the door, Peter over-reacted for a moment and webbed his hand next to the door knob. He finally realized that he should take this offer, and left with Stark after freeing his hand from the door awkwardly.

Clash of the Avengers
"Hey everyone."

- Spider-Man to the Avengers

At Iron Man's command, Spider-Man, in an improved suit, revealed himself at the during the Clash of the Avengers and stole Captain America's Shield with his webbing, before getting distracted at seeing his heroes the Avengers and calling Captain America his hero, much to Iron Man's annoyance. Iron Man and Captain America continued to argue about the Sokovia Accords until they reached breaking point.

Spider-Man was surprised by Ant-Man at first, whom managed to sneak atop the shield and strike Spider-Man in order to return the shield to Captain America; as the former teammates began to fight Spider-Man asked Iron Man what to do. He told Spider-Man to keep his distance and web Captain America and his companions up, as Stark did not want to hurt any of them. "You have a metal arm? That is awesome, dude!"

- Spider-Man to the Winter Soldier

He then followed Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Spider-Man chased Falcon and the Winter Soldier in the airport terminal building by crawling along the outside windows. He then smashed through the glass panel and with one kick Spider-Man smashed Falcon to the ground, and the turned his attention to the Winter Soldier. While stopping a punch from Winter Soldier, Spider-Man became distracted and amused by his metal arm. During a quick battle with Falcon he webbed him to some hand railings in the terminal building but again became distracted, this time by Falcon's wings asking him if they were made from carbon fiber. Soon after the Winter Soldier tried to intervene but Spider-Man was able to web the Winter Soldier and Falcon up. Afterwards he rejoined his fellow teammates and he fought with Captain America, whom both had a mutual respect towards each other, and managed to give him a good fight but eventually lost, when Captain America forced him to hold up a platform, to which he was impressed by Spider-Man's strength; he then casually asked Spider-Man where he was from before escaping. During the battle War Machine was thrown through the air by giant Ant-Man and was about to smash into an aircraft parked outside the airport, but fortunately Spider-Man saved him by firing a web line at War Machine and pulling him away from the aircraft just in the nick of time.

"Hey guys, you ever seen that really old movie, Empire Strikes Back? Jesus Tony, how old is this guy? I don't know, I didn't carbon date him! He's on the young side."

- Spider-Man, War Machine and Iron Man

At the end of the battle, Spider-Man, inspired by the movie , came up with a strategy to defeat a gigantic Ant-Man. He webbed up his knees so that Ant-Man lost his stand, and then let Iron Man and War Machine hit him against the helmet with full speed, so Ant-Man fell over, hitting Parker, making him fly into a pile of wooden boxes; knocking him unconscious for a short while.

After the battle Iron Man quickly checked to see if he was alright and told the exhausted Peter Parker that he was done and should go home threatening to call May Parker if he didn't. Feeling that he had dissapointed Tony, Peter desperately trid to convice Iron Man that he could still keep fighting, but soon agreed whilst Iron Man flew away, claiming "yeah, I'm done".

New Equipment
Later Peter was back home in his apartment in Queens and rested on his bed. His aunt May took care of his blackened eye. When Aunt May asked Peter who has done this, he told her about a guy named Steve from Brooklyn and his really big friend. When she was out of the room, Peter inspects his new Web-Shooters which have been made by Tony Stark, when suddenly a red beam came from one of them, projecting the Spider-Signal.

Personality
Outside of his Spider-Man persona, Peter lives the life of a normal 15 year old high school student. He cares deeply for his Aunt May. He is a very intelligent science enthusiast, capable of inventing and building his own Web-Shooters. He gathers both science and comic books in his room, along with his Spider-Man costume, which he hides in a tiny room at the ceiling. Keeping his secret identity is very important to him, as he even confronted Tony Stark when he implied to tell his aunt. Peter mentioned a tragic event in his past, which is the reason for why responsibility is so important to him.

Peter is also highly impressionable towards authoritative figures, likely due to his young age and inexperience. An example of this was towards Captain America, when asked about why he was fighting, Peter stated that it was because Tony had said that Rogers was in the wrong. Peter was also very excited to be in a fight with other superheroes, to the point where people on both Captain America's and Iron Man's teams were asking how old he is, due to his childlike behavior during the airport battle. As such, he was also the least experienced fighter at the airport battle. Through his first official mission as Spider-Man, Peter showed a strong desire to impress the other superheroes and prove his worth.

As Spider-Man, Peter is courageous and capable and can also comes up with clever strategies due to his scientific expertise. He frequently annoys his enemies with fast talking humor and quipping. It is such childish quips that made everyone at the battle question how old he is. When he doesn't wear the mask however, Peter behaves very friendly and shy, and often stumbles over his own words.

Powers
"Whatever happened happened; it's like my senses have been dialed to eleven."

- Spider-Man to Tony Stark


 * Superhuman Strength: Possessing the proportional strength of a spider, Spider-Man is able to press lift several tons. Although he is relatively untrained, his strength alone is sufficient to overpower the likes of Winter Soldier and his cybernetic arm. He has been seen stopping and lifting cars moving at speeds of 40 mph, and even supported the weight of a jet bridge, though the last visibly strained him.
 * Enhanced Durability: As a result of his unique abilities, Spider-Man possesses toughened skin that allows him to survive great impacts; he was unaffected when he fell from the height of several stories. He has taken punches from super soldiers such as Captain America and the Winter Soldier and was barely affected.
 * Superhuman Agility: Spider-Man is exceptionally agile and fast, capable of swinging around on thin spider-webbing and jumping great distances without difficulty.
 * Enhanced Senses: Spider-Man's senses are greatly enhanced, forcing him to restrict them with his costume, so as to avoid them handicapping him in a battle.
 * Spider-Sense: Spider-Man's most noteworthy trait is his paranormal survival instincts, which warn him of impending danger moments before it even arrives.
 * Wall-Crawling: Spider-Man is able to adhere to walls and ceilings like a spider, stating that he doesn't use mechanical devices for this.

Abilities

 * Gifted Intelligence: Peter Parker is an exceptionally smart science enthusiast, capable of inventing and constructing his own web-shooters (the sophistication of which impressed even Tony Stark) and using the laws of physics to his advantage in a battle as Spider-Man, and can also very quickly come up with witty but incredibly annoying quips, much to the chagrin and irritation of his allies and opponents alike.
 * Combatant: Spider-Man is a relatively skilled fighter at both close and long distances. However, he does not seem to be skilled in martial arts, and instead fights instinctively. He emphasizes the use of his strength, speed, agility and his spiderwebs, which he uses as a non-lethal weapon. Hence, Spider-Man was able to temporarily hold his own against Captain America, though the latter was ultimately able to gain the upper hand, forcing him to hodl up a jet bridge. Due to his lack of experience in actual combat, Peter repeatedly asked Iron Man for instructions during the fight at the ariport.
 * Master Acrobat: Spider-Man's superhuman agility allows him to perform complicated acrobatic moves. Hence, he was able to accurately shoot a web at Captain America's Shield and catch it while jumping in the air, and land over a vehicle.

Equipment

 * Spider-Man Suit: A suit, designed by Tony Stark, capable of focusing Spider-Man's superhuman senses.
 * Web-Shooters: A pair of wrist-mounted mechanical devices used by Spider-Man to project synthetic webbing. Peter invented the first pair, while Tony Stark invented a new and improved pair to go along with his new suit. Though, this new pair supplied by Stark merely involved technological improvements while the webbing itself Stark did not attempt to replace.
 * Spider-Signal: A red light emitted from Spider-Man's web-shooters.
