During a high school science experiment, honor student Peter Parker was bitten by a radioactive spider. The spider's bite transferred the arachnid's incredible powers to the young man. Peter gained superhuman strength, super-agility, the ability to stick to walls and an amazing danger-detecting "spider-sense". He later realized that with great power comes great responsibility and vowed to use his abilities to help others as a costumed crime fighter. Spidey now uses his powers and web-shooting devices of his own making to bring both ordinary criminals and sinister super villains to justice.
