Peter Parker

Peter Parker is a fictional comic book super-hero who is best known by the code name Spider-Man. He was created by writer Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko for Marvel Comics in 1962. Spider-Man was introduced in issue #15 of the anthology series Amazing Fantasy and became an overnight sensation appearing in his own ongoing comic book series The Amazing Spider-Man in March of the following year. The character has been featured in a live-action television series, a live-action children's skit, numerous animated projects and two different film franchises. In the film series directed by Sam Raimi, Spider-Man was played by actor Tobey Maguire. In the 2012 reboot The Amazing Spider-Man he was played by Andrew Garfield.

Overview
Spider-Man's real name is Peter Parker - a nerdy teenage boy from Forest Hills in Queens who lives with his Aunt May and Uncle Ben. An ill-fated visit to a science expo finds Peter being bitten by a radioactive spider, which grants him the proportionate strength of a spider as well as the ability to scale walls and a psionic early warning system which he refers to his as his spider-sense. Initially using his newfound abilities for the sake of profit, Peter fails to take notice of a common criminal who would later murder his Uncle Ben. Peter's attitude changes and he adopts his uncle's credo, "With great power comes great responsibility" as his personal mantra. After outfitting himself with a red and blue costume and a set of mechanical web-shooters, Peter Parker - the Amazing Spider-Man swings off into the pages of history as one of the most infamous and recognizable pop culture icons of all time.

Equipment

 * Spider-tracer: A spider-tracer is a small device developed by Peter Parker as part of his crime-fighting arsenal. As Spider-Man, Peter can throw it or place it upon a moving target whereupon it automatically attached itself. From there, he can use his spider-sense to home in on the tracer, and by extension, track its movement.


 * Web-shooters: Web-shooters were developed by fifteen-year-old Peter Parker,, shortly after he developed superhuman powers when he was bitten by a radioactive spider. The shooters consist of a wrist-band fitted with eight cartridges filled with web-fluid, which is a formula of Parker's own invention. The trigger mechanism and cut-off valve are part of a palm device attached to the gauntlets by a small tube.
