ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN
2000-2011
Orphaned at the age of six, Peter Parker is an outcast and withdrawn teenaged science prodigy, who lives in Queens, New York. While attending a field trip to a scientific corporation, he is bitten by a genetically-modified spider and as a result, begins to develop spider-like superpowers. When an armed thief later murders his foster father/uncle in a robbery, a guilt-ridden Peter is later driven to use his abilities as the costumed vigilante Spider-Man. Now equipped with a responsibility to do good and help others under his Spider-Man alter-ego, Peter struggles to balance life and his double life as Spider-Man, as he faces off against both superhuman and criminal threats to his home of New York City.
