CHARACTER PROFILE
Bitten by a radioactive spider, Peter Parker’s arachnid abilities give him amazing powers he uses to help others, while his personal life continues to offer plenty of obstacles.
Remember the good old days when Spidey’s life wasn’t very complicated? When evil scientists like the Jackal sought to destroy him? When Gwen Stacy showed up on his doorstep, suddenly alive? When a morning spin in the Spider-Mobile was interrupted by an attack from Mysterio? When Carrion sought to strangle the life out of him time and again? See the original clone saga unravel as Spider-Man tries to keep up!
When Spider-Man returns from the Secret Wars with a snazzy new black suit, he’s faster and stronger — and has an unending inbuilt supply of webbing! All the better for tussling with foes such as the Rose, Black Fox, Red Ghost, Jack O’Lantern, Puma and the Blob! Not only that, but he’s dressed to impress the Black Cat, too — much to Mary Jane’s dismay. But there’s something about Peter that’s not quite right. Curse that ol’ Parker luck, the black costume just happens to be a hungry alien symbiote — and it’s grown very attached to him.
