SUMMARY: PC/FC/; Peter Parker, aka Spider-Man, is a gifted college student balancing his academic life with the responsibilities of being a superhero. Living with his Aunt May since the tragic death of his Uncle Ben, Peter struggles to honor his uncle's legacy while navigating his identity as a bisexual young man. Recently, his heroics have caught the attention of Tony Stark, who invited him to join the Avengers Academy, offering a chance to develop his abilities further.
Though still early in his journey, Peter has already faced and fought some of the most dangerous supervillains in New York City, including the Vulture, Sandman, Green Goblin, and Doctor Octopus. These encounters have shaped his understanding of the risks of being Spider-Man, but he has yet to face the elusive Mysterio. As Peter grows into his role as a hero, he's learning that the path of Spider-Man is full of challenges and self-discovery, both in his powers and in his personal life.
Tool; Tech; His camera and editing tools are essential for his job as a freelance photographer. These assets also double as surveillance tools in his superhero activities.
General; While not directly associated with his heroic persona, Peter Parker, as a responsible young man, ensures he always carries a condom as part of his personal preparedness. This reflects his understanding of the importance of safe sex and health precautions. Although it may seem like a small, mundane detail in the life of a superhero, it’s a practical consideration that highlights Peter’s maturity and responsibility. As a character who faces constant danger and is learning about intimacy and relationships, Spider-Man’s readiness to carry a condom shows a thoughtful, considerate side to his character when navigating his personal life.
Tool; The equal of anything else on the market, the Stark SMART <sup>SX</sup> smart phone can perform all the same basic capabilities of any other smart phone on the market. In addition to being able to make calls, text messaging, internet browsing, running apps (all apps regardless of OS configuration/needs), superior security and 64 byte encryption, the x3 can act like a portable Cerebro covering an area of 100 yards; The x3 also includes a homing beacon.
General; The Spider-Signal is a small, portable device that projects Spider-Man’s iconic emblem onto surfaces, either as a symbol of intimidation or as a source of light in dark areas. It's a simple but effective tool for both signaling allies and evoking fear in criminals. The Spider-Signal adds to Spider-Man’s psychological edge, using his public image as a fearsome hero to his advantage.
Tool; The Spider-Suit is Spider-Man’s personal armor, crafted from lightweight, durable materials that offer protection while allowing for maximum mobility. The suit is designed to be flexible, breathable, and resistant to wear and tear. In some versions, the suit includes additional features such as armor plating, web-wings for limited gliding, and even AI integration from Stark technology. The suit’s design allows Peter to operate effectively in dangerous environments while maintaining his agility and stealth.
Tool; The Spider-Man unitard is crafted from lightweight, durable materials that offer protection while allowing for maximum mobility. The suit is designed to be flexible, breathable, and resistant to wear and tear.
Tool; Spider-tracers are small, spider-shaped devices that Peter uses to track individuals or objects. They emit a small signal that Spider-Man can trace using his Spider-Sense or specialized receivers. These tracers are especially useful for stealth operations, allowing Peter to follow targets without being detected. They serve as an extension of his heightened senses, providing crucial information when pursuing villains or solving mysteries.
Tool; Spider-Man’s utility belt is designed for practicality and contains essential tools that he may need in the field. It houses extra web cartridges for his web-shooters, spider-tracers, and other small gadgets such as a compact first-aid kit or small lock-picking tools. This belt ensures that Spider-Man is always prepared, whether he’s engaging in combat, facing technical challenges, or dealing with emergencies. Its compact, functional design mirrors Peter’s ability to problem-solve on the fly.
Social; Peter's strong emotions can occasionally override his logic, especially when loved ones are threatened. In moments of anger, fear, or grief, he's been known to lash out or make impulsive decisions.
Social; Spider-Man's strong moral compass often leads him to shoulder responsibility for events beyond his control. This stems from his belief in "<em>With great power comes great responsibility</em>", but it sometimes becomes a crippling tendency to blame himself for any failure or loss.
Physical; Spider-Man's enhanced physiology comes with a unique flaw: his hyper-metabolism. Due to his heightened strength, agility, and stamina, Peter's body burns through calories at an astonishing rate, requiring him to eat an enormous amount to sustain his energy. This constant need for food often catches him off guard, as he can find himself feeling fatigued or even faint if he doesn't keep up with his dietary needs. The flaw not only complicates his ability to focus during crime-fighting but also leads to moments of frustration, as he juggles his responsibilities as Spider-Man and the demands of keeping his body fueled.
Social; Impatience
His eagerness to act, paired with his youth, sometimes makes him impatient. He wants to solve problems quickly, which can result in hasty decisions or mistakes that complicate matters further.
Social; Peter Parker/Spider-Man is not inherently a jealous person, but his insecurities and emotional struggles can make him prone to feelings of jealousy in certain situations. His jealousy often arises in romantic relationships, such as when he fears losing Mary Jane or Gwen Stacy to other suitors, or when he compares himself to other superheroes who appear more powerful or successful.
Additionally, Peter may feel jealous of friends like Harry Osborn when they receive recognition or attention he feels he deserves. These moments of jealousy stem from Peter’s deep care for his loved ones and his own self-doubt, though they are not central to his character.
Social; Despite his intelligence, Peter's optimism and belief in the good in people can sometimes make him naive. This has led to him being manipulated or betrayed, particularly by trusted figures like Norman Osborn or Quentin Beck (Mysterio).
Mental; While he is often shy and self-doubting as himself, he can become overconfident when in costume, especially during fights. His cocky attitude, quips, and reliance on his abilities can occasionally cause him to underestimate his opponents.
Social; Peter’s deep commitment to protecting humanity often leads him to take on too much, risking burnout or neglecting his personal well-being. His desire to fix every problem can make him reluctant to delegate or ask for help.
Social; As Peter Parker, he has trouble expressing his feelings, especially with people he admires or cares deeply about. This is particularly evident in his struggles with romantic relationships.
Social; Once he sets his mind on something, he can be incredibly difficult to change Spider-Man's mind causing him to take great risks, even to the point of recklessness. This determination can help him succeed against impossible odds, but it also leads him to take unnecessary risks or ignore sound advice from those who care about him.
Social; Peter's dual identity and the risks associated with it make him hesitant to fully trust others, even those closest to him. This reluctance can isolate him and strain his relationships.
Social; He often struggles to find balance between his responsibilities as Spider-Man and his personal life. His drive to do the right thing frequently causes him to neglect his relationships, education, or job, creating conflicts and regrets.
Social; His superhero lifestyle keeps him in peak physical condition. While not overly muscular like some heroes, his lean and athletic frame makes him physically attractive, especially in the iconic Spider-Man suit.
Social; While Peter can be socially awkward at times, his genuine nature and courage under stress often win people over, even in tense or dangerous situations.
Social; Peter’s appearance is usually unassuming yet appealing. He has a clean-cut, approachable look that makes him relatable to many. His slightly messy hair, expressive eyes, and genuine smile add to his charm.
Social; While Peter can be shy, Spider-Man is the opposite: confident, witty, and bold. This duality makes him even more attractive to those who appreciate his ability to balance vulnerability and strength.
Mental; Peter’s thirst for knowledge makes him an exceptional student and researcher. He’s constantly improving his skills and broadening his understanding of the world.
Mental; Despite experiencing significant trauma, including the loss of Uncle Ben and personal hardships, Peter consistently bounces back and remains optimistic about the future.
Faith; Peter's capacity to understand and care about others makes him a relatable and beloved hero. He often goes out of his way to help people, even those who might not deserve it.
Social; Peter’s occasional social awkwardness adds a layer of cuteness to his personality. His nervousness around crushes or inability to deliver a smooth pick-up line often makes him more lovable.
Mental; Peter is exceptionally intelligent, with a natural aptitude for science and technology. His analytical mind and creativity allow him to solve complex problems and invent tools like his web formula and trackers.
Mental; Spider-Man’s creativity shines in how he uses his environment, his webs, and his scientific knowledge to overcome obstacles and adapt to unexpected challenges.

Social; Growing up in Queens, Peter has developed a keen awareness of his surroundings and practical knowledge of how to navigate the complexities of urban life.
Social; Guided by the principle "With great power comes great responsibility," Peter is deeply ethical and committed to doing the right thing, even at great personal cost.
Physical enhancement; With agility and flexibility far exceeding that of any Olympic athlete, Spider-Man can perform complex flips, spins, and leaps with extraordinary ease. His natural grace allows him to swing between skyscrapers, dodge attacks, and maneuver in tight spaces. This skill is a critical part of his fighting style, enabling him to stay constantly on the move and out of reach of his enemies.
Physical enhancement; Peter’s balance is near-perfect, enabling him to navigate tightropes of webbing, perch on narrow ledges, or execute acrobatic maneuvers with precision. His sense of equilibrium makes him highly adaptable in unpredictable environments.
Physical enhancement; Peter’s body is far more resilient than that of a normal human, allowing him to withstand impacts, falls, and other forms of blunt-force trauma that would be lethal to others. While not invulnerable, he can survive being thrown through walls or hit by heavy objects without sustaining life-threatening injuries.
Physical enhancement; Peter’s reflexes are many times faster than a normal human’s, allowing him to react to bullets, punches, and other high-speed attacks almost instinctively. This ability, combined with his Spider-Sense, makes him incredibly hard to hit during combat, as he can anticipate and dodge attacks with precision.
Detection; Peter’s senses are sharper than those of an average human. His vision, especially in low-light conditions, is improved, and his hearing allows him to detect faint sounds, aiding in his ability to sense and react to threats.
Physical enhancement; While not on par with characters like Wolverine, Spider-Man’s healing factor is significantly faster than that of an ordinary human. Cuts, bruises, and broken bones heal in a fraction of the time they would for others, allowing him to recover quickly from injuries and return to action; He is also highly resistant to most viruses, diseases, and other such pathogens.
Defensive; While not immune to mind control or emotional manipulation, Spider-Man’s mental resilience makes it significantly harder for others to dominate his thoughts or emotions. His strong willpower, combined with his sharp intellect and sense of responsibility, helps him resist attempts at mental coercion or control.
Detection; This precognitive ability provides Peter with a heightened awareness of imminent danger. The Spider-Sense manifests as a tingling sensation at the base of his skull, alerting him to threats even before they become visible or audible. It works in tandem with his reflexes, allowing him to react to dangers that would otherwise catch others off guard, such as hidden traps or surprise attacks.
Physical enhancement; Spider-Man’s enhanced speed makes him much faster than an average human. He can sprint at speeds that allow him to cross rooftops or evade attacks in the blink of an eye. His speed complements his agility and reflexes, giving him a near-flawless ability to navigate and escape dangerous situations; His speed is such that he can take more than one dodging and attacking action per round.
Physical enhancement; Peter’s enhanced stamina allows him to operate at peak physical performance for days without needing rest. He can endure extreme physical exertion, fight for hours, and recover from fatigue far quicker than an average person. His body also resists environmental extremes, enabling him to survive freezing cold, intense heat, and other harsh conditions for extended periods.
Physical enhancement; Initially, Peter could lift up to 10 tons when his powers first surfaced. Over time, through rigorous training and constant physical activity, his strength has increased significantly, allowing him to lift and carry up to 40 tons under normal conditions. In moments of extreme exertion or desperation, Peter has been known to push his limits and momentarily lift up to 50 tons. This incredible strength allows him to punch through concrete, stop moving vehicles, and overpower foes many times his size.
Travel; Spider-Man can adhere to almost any surface, including walls and ceilings, through a unique adaptation of his body. This power stems from microscopic setae on his fingertips and feet, which create a molecular bond with surfaces. This ability allows him to traverse urban environments effortlessly, scale buildings, and maneuver in ways that give him a distinct advantage over his enemies.
Matter creation; Unlike the comic version of Spider-Man, who uses mechanical web-shooters, this version of Peter generates webbing organically from glands in his wrists. His webs are incredibly strong, flexible, and adhesive, capable of restraining enemies, creating protective barriers, and providing a means of transportation through the city. The webbing dissolves naturally over time, leaving no trace.
