Argument

I chose to write about this topic in the excitement of sharing the fascinating
culture of comic book magazines about the amazing Spider-Man, which had one
of the most popular impacts in the world, but also in the desire to present the
most fantastic and exemplary teenage character of the Marvel universe. Spider-
Man or Peter Parker is the eminent student who lives with Aunt May and Ben's
uncle, he is a funny person with a lot of potential who is always eager to help.
First of all, ever since I was little, I have appreciated superheroes with great
admiration for their remarkable results. But, of all the characters, Spider-Man
came to my heart and has been my favorite character ever since.
Secondly, he is recognized and loved by all comic book readers, he has many
responsibilities and always chooses to put family and friends first instead of
taking care of himself.
The first chapter covers the history of the miraculous Spider-man, which
presents data about his family and how he became a superhero. The second
chapter presents some of his personality traits. The third chapter presents the
abilities of the superhero, the most important being speed, agility and improved
reflexes. The fourth chapter presents some of Spider-man‟s alliance
relationships The fifth chapter presents the importance of this, but also its
cultural impact. The last chapter talks about the multiverse, the multiverse being
a collection of alternate universes that share a universal hierarchy; it is a
subsection of the larger Omniverse, the collection of all alternate universes.
In conclusion, Spider-Man is just a teenager in the Queens neighborhood, but a
true superhero through all the services you take care of in front of New York
City.

Introduction
Spider-Man (Peter Benjamin Parker) is a fictional character from a comic book
that first appeared in issue 15 of Amazing Fantasy magazine (August 1962), and
was created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko for Marvel Comics. Since then, the
character of Spider-Man has been the basis of a strong industry consisting of
games, comics, movies and other multimedia items, all belonging to a wide
range of products. Spider-Man is actually a young orphaned student of both
parents named Peter Benjamin Parker, who lived with Uncle Ben and Aunt May
in Queens, New York.
He first appeared in comics in 1962, before appearing on television and on the
big screen. In a series of three consecutive films, the hero was played by Tobey
Maguire. This was followed by a reboot of the original story, in which Spider-
Man is played by Andrew Garfield. Marvel later produced three more starring
Tom Holland films.
He becomes the "Spider-Man" after being bitten by a radioactive spider. After
the death of his uncle Ben, Peter learns that “with great powers come great
responsibilities”.
Nowadays, Spiderman is poor-scripted in most cartoons or live-action movie
due to the fact that they are meant for a very wide audience that includes
children, as in reality he has a more complex story.

Chapter 1:Backstory
1.1 Tragedy
Peter Parker was born to Richard and his wife Mary Parker and they were
created by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber. For many years there had been no
explanation of why Peter Parker was being raised by his aunt and uncle, with
his parents only appearing in flashbacks and photographs. That issue finally
answered the question: Richard and Mary Parker were murdered by Albert
Malik, who was one of Johann Schmidt's successors to the person of Red Skull.
Richard and Mary met on the job, fell in love, and married. Originally they
eloped, later having a more elaborate service, fooling many. Mary became a
field agent like Richard, giving them both an easy cover as a married couple.
Their son, Peter, was often left in the care of Ben and his wife, May, when
Richard and Mary were away on missions. When Richard and Mary ultimately
died, Peter was raised by them.Richard and Mary's son, Peter, grew up to
become Spider-Man.
Although he has only vague memories of his parents and no memory of their
militaristic history, his aunt and uncle share photographs and happy memories
with him, but not their belief that they had been traitors to their country.
Unfortunately, after a few years, when Peter becomes a teenager, his uncle Ben
dies. The character has been an essential part of Spider-Man's history. His death
at the hands of a petty criminal, whom Spider-Man previously had the chance to
apprehend, but chose not to, has been depicted in almost all versions of the
hero's origin story, as the main factor that inspired Peter to become Spider-Man.
Uncle Ben's quote, "With great power there must also come great
responsibility", has become Spider-Man's iconic life motto.

1.2 Becoming Spider-Man

Peter Parker is a nerdy high-schooler, an orphaned as a child, bullied by jocks,

and can‟t confess his crush for his stunning red-head neighborhood, Mary Jane
Watson.To say, his life is “miserable” is an understatement, Peter Parker can‟t
barely stand up for himself. But one day while he was on a school field trip at
Columbia University Laboratory, a genetically radioactive spider bites him, and
his life changes in a way no one could have imagined.
Now with his body undergoing drastic changes, he acquires a muscle bound
physique, gains distinct powers and phenomenal super-abilities, shooting webs
from his wrist, only to quickly realise that with great powers comes great
responsability. After receiving these great powers, he uses them for the good to
become the crimefighting hero, Spider-Man.
But the things get harder when some criminals will start terrorizing the city, he
is forced to defend the innocent lives in New York but especially for the only
people left in his life, aunt May and his lover Mary Jane.

Chapter 2: Personality

Peter Parker is highly perceptive with his heightend spidey senses, very
intelligent as he is the brightest youth in his town, and at times he is an extrovert
when he is Spider-Man risking his life to save other such as when he catches a
car before it kills a guy.
He has the courage to battle villians such as the Green Goblin, Venom or
Electro and aware of the danger he imposees upin the people he loves and tries
to keep his identity a secret from them in order to protect them.
His alter-ego is a lot more confident and extremely sarcastic as he protects the
city, it is also agruable that he is an introvert when he is just Peter Parker, a
teenager who is socially awkward who hides behind his camera as the takes the
school‟s pictures.
Peter is caring, kind, loyal, brave and worry. His behaviors are most influenced
by his enviroment.He exhibits more left brain activity as he uses his knowledge
to assess his situations.

Chapter 3: Abilities
Spider Powers are special abilities, beyond what normal humans possess, that
are usually somewhat related to Spiders. They are used by many characters in
the Marvel universe. Spider Powers have been a part of the Marvel universe
since 1962 when Spider-Man first debuted. The most common include wall-
crawling, enhanced strength, speed, agility, reflexes, stamina, durability,
endurance, and healing as well as an early warning system officially dubbed the
"Spider-Sense" power by Peter Parker.
* Proportionate Strength of a Spider: Most Individuals who obtain Spider
Powers have increased strength. This is caused by the cross in DNA that grants
them the proportional strength of a Spider. Spider-Man can lift around ten tons,
but others can vary based on their own body mass and the type of Spider that bit
them, or gave them powers through other means. Peter Parker does not use all
of his superhuman strength, but it is shown that he has enough power to knock
out a T-Rex.
* Enhanced Speed, Agility, and Reflexes: Spiders, being very fast and agile
creatures, give one with spider powers enhanced speed and agility. It is
unknown just how fast a person with enhanced spider speed can travel, but it is
seen that they outrun a speeding car, Along with a spider-sense for most people
with spider powers, the basic reflexes and agility of a person are far enhanced
that beyond a normal human's.
* Enhanced Balance: People who have spider-powers have an enhanced sense
of balance or equilibrium to stand perfectly still on almost any surface, also in
helping with the wall-crawling ability. Peter is shown to balance a thin wire
with one finger, balance on a moving car, stand and walk or run on walls or
bend into certain positions that would normally hurt an average non-powered
human.
* Enhanced Healing Factor: Spider power enhanced an average human's
healing factor, much higher than regular humans.
Several Spider Powered individuals have a "Spider-sense" which is a
precognitive ability that warns them of impending danger. Although it is still
mostly a mystery, it has proven effective. It works as a tingling/buzzing in the
base of the skull when danger is near. By that tingling's intensity, the severity of
the threat can be judged. For instance, a happenstance passing of a potential
enemy who is not interacting with the possessor of the power would trigger a

Page 8
slight alert to encourage some caution. By contrast, the presence of an
immediate deadly threat, such as a sniper taking aim at the person, the sensation
can become severe, sometimes to the point of becoming painful, and can
reflexively prompt evasive action in reponse

Chapter 4:Supporting Character
4.1 Alies
Tony stark
Tony Stark and Peter Parker an independent and profound connection in the
Marvel Studios‟ Cinematic Universe. They both share an adorable „father-son‟
sort of relationship that became the beating heart of the MCU.
In the movies, Iron Man creates the Iron Spider costume for Peter Parker as a
kind of test of his character. Spider-Man wants to be part of the Avengers, but
Tony Stark doesn't think he's ready yet. In the comics, this played out
differently. Tony created the Iron Spider suit as a gift, a result of their then
closer relationship. The costume - just one of Spider-Man's many powerful
armors
The MCU cast Tony Stark as a mentor and quasi-father figure to Peter Parker.
In the absence of Uncle Ben, who has different versions in comics and media
but so far none in the MCU, Tony became the man Peter has looked up to. Early
in the comics, once they finally met, their relationship was mostly built on
mutual respect. Each was a scientist and engineer in their own right, but there
was little between them except for professional respect and courtesy.

Page 10
4.2 Relationships
Family tree
The true origins of Teresa Parker are uncertain.She is believed to be the
daughter of CIA agents Richard and Mary Parker, and the younger sister of
Peter Parker.After the death of their parents, Peter went to live with their Aunt
May and Uncle Ben, while Teresa, whose birth had been kept a secret, was
allegedly adopted. Many years following the deaths of Richard and Mary,
Teresa would be personally recruited into the CIA by Nick Fury. Teresa's true
parentage became a mystery, even for her.
Romantic interests
Peter Parker's love interests changed over his time in comics, with some who
knew he was Spider-Man and some who never learned his secret identity. Sadly,
most of his relationships ended badly since he had to put many of these
girlfriends on the backburner while he fought crime, and only a select few
would tolerate that.
Mary Jane Watson
Peter would change all thoughts about MJ when he actually met her,
discovering that she was stunningly beautiful and charming, the two began
dating. In addition to the other relationships, the greatest love for Peter Parker
will remain, Mary Jane Watson. Even Aunt May tried many times to get closer
to the two because she liked Mary Jane very much. The beautiful redhead is a
remarkable character for Peter Parker's life, she being the most complex
creation for his spider-man girlfriends. The two meet in high school, first
developing a friendly relationship, and eventually becoming Peter Parker's wife.
Mary Jane Watson has a passion for acting but she does not succeed in
becoming a waitress and pursues a career as a journalist. She is intelligent,
confident and eager to help Peter Parker when he is in trouble. Eventually Peter
will reveal his love for Mary Jane and ask her to marry him because he loves
her so much.

Chapter 5: Cultural impact
It‟s the origin story of a teenager who is bitten by a spider and goes on to
become a billion-dollar grossing global phenomenon.
Comics are an exclusively American form of art and culture, which is
characterized by grotesque fantasy stories about superheroes. Due to their
specific form, they are able to convey a message in a more direct and
exaggerated way than other types of art; therefore, they are perfect as a resource
of cultural studies. Spiderman is a film that is based on comics and retains their
main features, while demonstrating the extraordinary hero‟s struggle against the
evil. However, it is more than a thriller as it is a compelling product of culture,
which reflects some of dominating values of the American society such as the
cult of competition, publicity, consumerism, individualism, Christianity and
worship of winners.
Researchers point out that Spiderman is “a quintessentially American hero full
of rich moral and psychological complexity” . At the beginning of the series, the
main character, Peter Parker, is an awkward student who is ridiculed by his
classmates and ignored by a girl that he admires. His sudden acquisition of
superhuman power comes as a surprise to him, yet he starts enjoying it quickly.
Becoming a Spiderman is far from noble motives at first, although Peter is a
kind-natured person. At first, he perceives his new abilities as entertainment and
opportunity to achieve some more selfish goals than struggle with the universal
evil. First of all, he wants to make money in order to buy a car, which he
believes will impress the girl that he likes. Buying a car is an illustration of
consumerism in the American society. In fact, he sees that Mary Jane‟s friend
gives her a ride, and her admiration about that car makes him buy a car too.
This example demonstrates the link between success and possession, which is
typical in a world of consumerism. Spider-Man has become Marvel‟s flagship
character, and has often been used as the company mascot. When Marvel
became the first comic book company to be listed on the New York Stock
Exchange in 1991, the Wall Street Journal announced “Spider-Man is coming to
Wall Street“; the event was in turn promoted with an actor in a Spider-Man
costume accompanying Stan Lee to the Stock Exchange.Since 1962, hundreds
of millions of comics featuring the character have been sold around the world.

Chapter 6: The Multiverse
The Multiverse is the collection of alternate universes which share a universal
hierarchy; it is a subsection of the larger Omniverse, the collection of all
alternate universes. A large variety of these universes were originated as forms
of divergence from other realities, where an event with different possible
outcomes gives rise to different universes, one for each outcome.
No way Home movie
For the first time in the cinematic history of Spider-Man, our friendly
neighborhood hero's identity is revealed, bringing his Super Hero
responsibilities into conflict with his normal life and putting those he cares
about most at risk. When he enlists Doctor Strange's help to restore his secret,
the spell tears a hole in their world, releasing the most powerful villains who‟ve
ever fought a Spider-Man in any universe. Now, Peter will have to overcome
his greatest challenge yet, which will not only forever alter his own future but
the future of the Multiverse.
Parker visits the New York Sanctum and asks Doctor Strange to make the
identity of Spider-Man a secret once more to get his friends into MIT. Despite
being warned by Wong not to, Strange attempts to cast the spell with the Runes
of Kof-Kol. However, Parker incessantly alters the spell when requesting
various individuals close to him to be exempt from its effects. As a result, the
spell becomes unstable, forcing Strange to contain it. For not consulting with
college administrators before meeting with him, Strange furiously kicks Parker
out of the Sanctum. Contacting Flash Thompson, who was admitted to MIT,
Parker is led to an administrator heading to the Alexander Hamilton Bridge in
an attempt to appeal his, Jones' and Leeds' applications. Parker is suddenly
ambushed by Doctor Octopus, who seems to know him personally. Doctor
Octopus grabs him and rips out a piece of the Iron Spider Armor, transferring its
nanites onto his tentacles. He goes for another strike, but Spider-Man reveals his
face, which is unfamiliar to Doctor Octopus. From here, things get trickier, and
this is where Dr. Octopus comes into play. Therefore, all the enemies and the
main actors who played in the past with spiderman will appear in the movie No
way Home. These actors awaken the enthusiasm of the past and the first
spiderman Tobey Maguire and the second Andrew Garfield will help Tom
Holland to defeat all the enemies in his universe.

Conclusion
When people think of Spider-Man, they see more of a children's show or
animation. But he is a much more complex character along with all the Marvel
superheroes, with an exemplary moral character he has the most amazing
powers that anyone would want.
Spider-Man still attracts a lot of fans and admirers because of his personality, he
is an example for each of us.
