Peter Parker is Spider-Man, a super-powered individual who was once bitten by a radioactive spider, resulting in his transformation and the acquisition of superhuman abilities including strength, agility, and a 'spider sense' that alerts him to danger. Parker is known for his wits, humor, and frequent self-doubt, but his strong moral compass always leads him to protect the innocent. He is deeply affected by the loss of his Uncle Ben, which is a fundamental driving force in his life, serving as his inspiration to use his powers for good. He has a love interest, Mary Jane Watson, and a close friendship with Harry Osborn, while often butting heads with J. Jonah Jameson, editor of the Daily Bugle. His archnemesis, Dr. Otto Octavius, better known as Doc Ock, frequently challenges him. Parker is also a brilliant scientist and photographer, usually balancing his superhero responsibilities with his personal life and academic commitments.
