Peter parker the spectacular spider-man uk free download

Spider-Man started hallucinating and Kraven knocked him down and captured him in a net. He shot Spider-Man with a rifle, apparently killing him. In reality, his drugs kept him completely immobile, so that Kraven could bury him alive. He ended up brutally attacking and beating criminals, ultimately sending fifteen men to the hospital and killing one.

The Spider confronted Vermin , who had resurfaced and killed various people, in the sewers. During the ensuing fight, The Spider overpowered Vermin and captures him.

He learned from a newspaper that someone has been impersonating him for two weeks. He reunited with Mary Jane at their apartment before going to confront Kraven. However, he refused to fight, saying that by "killing" and impersonating him, he had proven his superiority. At first Spider-Man fought back but then backed off, refusing to play Kraven's game. Vermin overwhelmed him and fled with Spider-Man following him.

Having finished his greatest hunt, Kraven left a confession saying he impersonated Spider-Man for the past two weeks and then committed suicide with a hunting rifle. Spider-Man took down Vermin and handed him over to the police, who found Kraven's confession.

Aunt May supposedly suffered a debilitating heart attack. This also led to the Parkers meeting Ben Reilly , a clone of himself whom Peter had fought earlier. Reilly created a similar spider-costume, dubbed the Scarlet Spider by the Daily Bugle, and helped Spider-Man in his adventures. Shortly afterward, Mary Jane became pregnant, and the apparent revelation that Ben was the original Peter Parker and Peter the clone prompted Peter to retire from Spider-Man and relocate to Portland.

After a crisis in Portland resulted in minor damage to Peter's cellular structure that prevented him from accessing his powers, Peter chose to accept retirement and focus on his new family.

Back in New York, Reilly eventually assumed the identity of Spider-Man himself, since the second villain by the name of Doctor Octopus tarnished the reputation of the Scarlet Spider. After a few months in Portland, Peter and Mary Jane returned to New York, with Peter's powers returning after a strange illness was revealed to be his body 'resetting' itself, although his powers were unpredictable for a while and prone to cutting out at inopportune moments. As Peter's powers returned, however, he and Ben began to contemplate the possibility of both of them acting as Spider-Man after the recent war against Onslaught resulted in the loss of the FF and so many of the Avengers.

This plan was cut short when Mary Jane was rushed to hospital while giving birth due to an unexpected medical emergency, later revealed to have been staged by Norman Osborn, the original Green Goblin; Osborn had survived his apparent death due to an unexpected increased healing factor as part of his powers that nobody had known about before.

Having stolen the body of Parker's baby, the Goblin revealed that he had manipulated the tests that confirmed that Peter was the clone and Ben the original with the goal of destroying Peter's life, angered when Peter had managed to move past that revelation to make a new life for himself. During the subsequent confrontation, Ben Reilly jumped in front of the Goblin's glider when he sent it flying towards Peter, sacrificing himself to save Parker.

Reilly's body disintegrated after his death, finally convincing Peter that he was the original. Due to this "revelation" and the fact that his daughter had died, Peter once again became Spider-Man.

After many more months of adventuring, Norman Osborn returned to take control of the Daily Bugle, providing faked evidence that he had never been the Green Goblin and discrediting all contradicting sources. He angered Peter, which caused Spider-Man to brutally beat Norman, which was all caught on a hidden camera in his house. With the staged confrontation and the apparent murder of a small-time criminal using what appeared to be Spider-Man's webbing, Osborn was able to create the fake impression that Spider-Man was a straightforward criminal, and increased pressure was placed on capturing him.

In order to continue his crime-fighting career and investigate the fraudulent claims, Parker relinquished his Spider-Man identity while creating four unique and separate ones: Dusk , Hornet , Prodigy , and Ricochet. As Dusk, Parker was able to investigate the villain Trapster -- the only person capable of creating a convincing duplicate of his webbing -- and convince him to confess to the crime to hurt Osborn and publicly exonerate Spider-Man of the murder charge.

He also used Prodigy to present fake evidence that someone else had attacked Osborn dressed as Spider-Man, at which point he resumed his Spider-Man identity. When the Avengers were attempting to reform their number after disbanding for a year after the crisis known as Onslaught , Spider-Man was contacted due to his past affiliation with them. However, by his own choice, Parker decided to dissolve ties with the Avengers. Aunt May was later discovered to still be alive; the woman who seemingly died was in actuality a genetically modified actress.

Peter had promised Mary Jane to give up his Spider-Man identity, but he would continually sneak out at night as Spider-Man. Their marriage began to strain, in part because of Mary Jane's new modeling career and in part because she discovered Peter's secret. Before they could reconcile, however, Mary Jane was supposedly killed when her airplane exploded.

Peter discovered Mary Jane was alive, captured by a villain who had been stalking her prior to her airplane flight. After a brief reconciliation, Mary Jane requested to leave Peter once more, saying that she needed time to adjust by herself. Peter soon took a job as a teacher at his somewhat beloved Midtown High. After getting this job, he encountered a strange man named Ezekiel Sims who possessed powers very similar to his, and presented Peter with the possibility that his powers had been bestowed on him by mystical forces, effectively making Peter a "totem" that connected the animal and human realms.

Peter soon encountered villains linked to him through his new-found nature as a Spider-Totem. The first of them was Morlun , who almost beat Spider-Man to death, and seemingly met his end after Peter injected himself with a lethal dose of radiation, which hurt Morlun whenever they made contact and weakened him enough for his servant Dex to take the opportunity and shoot him down. Following the exhausting encounter with Morlun, Peter let his guard down, allowing Aunt May to discover his secret identity when she entered his apartment and found him sleeping with his tattered costume on the floor.

After May came to grips with the fact her nephew was Spider-Man, their relationship grew stronger than ever. After defeating Shathra , a predator who originated from the Astral Plane , [] Spider-Man was warned by Ezekiel about the coming of the Gatekeeper , a mystical being who allegedly saw Peter unworthy of his powers and wanted to kill him.

During an ensuing confrontation against Spider-Man, the Gatekeeper revealed him the truth. Peter was chosen to become a Spider-Totem due to his nature, a prey to bullying during his teenage years whose reserving anger made him the perfect candidate to become a hunter, one who would never give in to submission again. Through visions imparted by the Gatekeeper, Peter also discovered that Ezekiel was the one Spider-Totem deemed unworthy, due to having searched for the source of the power instead of having it bestowed upon him, and that the predators that confronted Peter were actually meant for Ezekiel.

As Peter was recovering from the encounter with the Gatekeeper, Ezekiel brought him to the temple where he had obtained his powers in South America and planned to use him in a sacrificial ritual to maintain his abilities. The ritual linked Peter's mind with Ezekiel's and made him realize he had wasted his gifts, unlike Peter. When a spider monster emerged to kill Peter, Ezekiel gave his life to save him. A shaman named Miguel who had previously helped Ezekiel buried his body. When Peter asked him whether his powers came from science or magic, Miguel told him that one explanation didn't necessarily contradict the other.

Changes came to Spider-Man's very own physical nature when he confronted a new villain known as the Queen , who invaded New York and used her powers to take control over the citizens who possessed the vestige of an insect gene. As a consequence of a mutation caused by the Queen during a confrontation against her, Peter's body began to slowly transform into that of a giant spider which fell prey to the Queen's mind-control. The Queen planned to use Peter's mutated body to breed, but it seemingly died due to complications arising from the transformation.

From the husk of his monstrous form, Peter emerged alive and well, having gained the ability to produce organic webbing, in addition to augmented strength and spider-sense. During a subsequent fight against the Queen, Spider-Man disarmed a bomb she planned to detonate, and she was seemingly killed when S.

Months following the disbandment of the Avengers , Peter joined forces with a fortuitous group of heroes present in the Raft Superhuman Security Prison to help contain escaping inmates following a massive breakout. Once the situation was contained, the group remained together and became the New Avengers , without the government involvement and financial burdens common to Avengers' history. Peter, May, and Mary Jane subsequently moved to the team's headquarters in the Avengers Tower after both Peter's and May's places were destroyed by a mutated former classmate of his named Charlie Weiderman.

Shortly after joining the New Avengers, Peter discovered that his powers were weakening for some reason. Knowing the situation was hopeless, Morlun got into a fight with him and brutally defeated him, even ripping his left eye out and eating it. The bloodied Spider-Man was rushed to the hospital with extreme wounds. Morlun attacked him there again. MJ attempted to stop him, but Morlun threw her across the room and broke her arm. However, Peter woke up and his savage, animalistic spider-side took over, developing sharp teeth and stingers in his wrists.

He killed Morlun in front of Mary Jane, succumbing to his injuries and dying after. Iron Man took away Peter's body, but as the New Avengers mourned over his presumed death in another room, Spider-Man's body disappeared, leaving behind a shed skin. It turned out that his body had briefly sprung to life and formed a cocoon underneath the George Washington Bridge. In the cocoon, a voice told Peter he never understood what he was and is too scared to truly be a "Spider-Man," only focusing on his human part and not his spider part.

Morlun managed to kill the human, but the spider survived and killed Morlun to save them both. It told him that he would only be reborn if he accepted both parts, asking him: "Are you the man who dreamed of being a spider? Or the spider who dreamed of being a man? Are you the one She told him a spider-deity known as the Great Weaver had thought that his death was premature and revived him, but that others disagreed and were being pulled in different directions as a result.

Stating that she had come to kill him and restore the natural order, after a brief fight "she" was defeated and escaped. Changes resulting from the confrontation with Morlun and the shedding of his skin caused Peter to try and reconcile 'the man and the spider' within himself.

While saving everyone inside collapsing building, he discovered he gained greater speed; poisonous, razor-sharp stingers located within his arms; night vision; increased sensory awareness via vibratory patterns transmitted through the hairs on his body and through his web lines; a greater clinging ability; and equal superhuman strength in order to carry heavy objects on his back.

Despite misgivings and with the support of his family, Peter initially sided with mentor Iron Man in support of superhero registration, after being unsure initially, as he felt that heroes needed to get public support for their actions. Many of the heroes on that side had public identities, with him being the only major supporter without one following Iron Man's unmasking; Iron Man also said it was a positive thing to unmask if they were to gain support. He planned to liquidate his assets and flee the country in case his unmasking caused any problems, but his family suggested against it, believing that Peter needed to get recognition for his actions.

With Iron Man at his side, at a live press conference in Washington, D. Reaction to the unmasking was diverse. Among the negative supporters were Jameson, who fainted upon watching the broadcast and came to "disown" Peter, having seen him as a son over the years; [] Deb Whitman , who wrote and published a scathing memoir titled Two-Faced: How Spider-Man Ruined My Life , albeit under duress from Jameson; [].

Black Cat, who briefly went berserk for being left out of the loop, though she and Peter managed to work it out; Liz Allan, who blamed Peter for causing so much suffering in her life; and the Molten Man, who joined the Chameleon in order to avenge the grief and misery heaped upon his stepsister. However, fighting against the fugitive heroes and the existence of the Thor clone and a prison for the unregistered in the Negative Zone created by Iron Man left a poor taste in his mouth, and he even found out that Iron Man was tracking him with the Iron Spider Armor.

While running through the sewers, he is attacked by the Jester and Jack O'Lantern. They beat up Spider-Man, but before they can capture him, the Punisher killed them and brought Spider-Man to the Secret Avengers headquarters. Spider-Man was one of the few heroes who did not accept the general amnesty after the arrest and the death of Captain America , continuing to work with the underground New Avengers.

After an encounter with Rhino and receiving condolence from Wolverine , Spider-Man watched Cap's funeral on TV with the New Avengers; when the team discussed why they didn't go, he said they could not risk getting arrested by Tony Stark on the spot. Peter's now-public identity allowed the Kingpin to put a hit on Parker's family. His sniper shot at him at his apartment. Peter saved Mary Jane, but the bullet hit Aunt May. Tracking the sniper's gun to a warehouse full of arms dealers viciously beats everyone and gets the names of the dealers who traffics those guns.

Peter donned a cloth version of his black suit to find those who were responsible for hurting his family. He found the gunman talking to Fisk on his cell phone. Peter takes him to a sewer pipe, beats him, and tells him to tell everyone to stay away from his family.

He arrives at Ryker's Island during a prison riot lead by the Kingpin to confront him. Spider-Man savagely beat the crime-lord and taunts him on his lack of real powers. Telling Fisk that after his aunt died, he would kill him; the then threatened the other inmates with a slow and painful death if they ever harmed his family before leaving. They begin to fight using their stingers but Ero manages to hit him in the shoulder, paralyzing him.

She decides to place her eggs inside of him instead of Flash. Spider-Man was saved by Betty Brant, who shot the egg sac with a shotgun. Ero tried to escape but Spider-Man lured her into an aviary, where she was devoured by hundreds of birds.

Spider-Man stepped on the last spider remaining. Realizing he could not afford for his identity to be public knowledge, Peter agreed to aid the Scarlet Spiders in return for their help in re-establishing his secret identity. Telling the media that Parker was part of their team but was discharged and drawing confusion as to if Parker is the first and only Spider-Man.

Peter grew increasingly desperate to save the life of his Aunt May. He sought the help of Dr. Strange, finding that even magic could not help him save Aunt May's life. At one point, Eddie Brock was found in Aunt May's room; where he attempted to commit suicide by jumping out of the window.

As part of Mephisto's deal, everyone would forget Peter's identity as Spider-Man. Because of this decision, the daughter they would have had never existed.

Then Mephisto re-arranged history to make it so that Peter unwittingly would not show up to his wedding day, but stayed with Mary Jane as a long time couple. But this re-arrangement also caused it to be Doctor Strange who erased people's memories about Parker's secret identity except Mary Jane and some others and protected Peter with a "psychic blindspot," preventing people from being able to consciously deduce that Peter Parker and Spider-Man were the same people unless anyone actually saw him take his mask off.

But Mary Jane was bitterly hurt from having knowledge of a time of great emotional pain that no one else on the planet remembered. She and Peter agreed that they were still in love with each other but they had to accept that their relationship put everyone they cared about in danger and that it was best for them to remain as friends.

However, after his photographs of the celebrity Bobby Carr resulted in the deaths of women by a crazed super villain stalker who was obsessed with him, Peter decided to destroy the new photos he took resulting in Bennett firing him. However, Harry suggested that Peter find a job at a news source that was Bennett's enemy, which he did by joining the Front Line as it was not under Bennett's influence.

He dissolved S. Peter had to reveal his secret identity to the New Avengers, in order to implicitly earn the team's trust. Upon doing so, Jessica Jones fled the place, as she had gone to high school with Peter and had a crush on him at the time. During a trip to the Macroverse, Spider-Man re-revealed to the Fantastic Four his identity, and after coming back, he discovered two months had passed in standard time.

Jameson had become the new NY mayor, Aunt May and Jameson's father Jay were in a relationship, Harry had fallen to drink and Michele Gonzales had moved to his apartment.

With help of the F4's Unstable Molecules , Spider-Man infiltrated Osborn's Avengers as Venom and discovered how Osborn wanted to make his son a new hero called American Son and have him killed in action to increase his Avengers' popularity. Spider-Man prevented Harry from killing Norman. He later battled a man who wanted to kill Ben Reilly and saw the return of Peter's living clone Kaine. Despite his problems, Spider-Man helped the original Jackpot start fighting crime [] and overcame the corrupting control of Mister Negative 's energy.

Building ; [] Sandman, who became obsessed with taking care of his "daughter" Keemia ; [] Rhino, who left reformation to kill a new Rhino who murdered his wife ; [] Mysterio, starting a gang war; [] a new Vulture , who tried to kill Jameson; [] and the Lizard, who evolved and "killed" his alter-ego and his son Billy. However, it was revealed that the corpse was Kaine's, who had earlier knocked out Peter and switched places to save him. The surviving Kravinoffs left New York.

Later, Kaine was resurrected from his grave and mutated into a more spider-like creature by the Jackal. After Osborn's fall and the Registration Act's abolition following the Siege of Asgard , MJ invited Peter over so the two of them could gain closure over the marriage that didn't happen and the break-up.

Later, a massive war ensued between Doctor Octopus and Spider-Man to get Lily Hollister's and Norman Osborn's son, Spidey found that the child was actually Harry's, [] who later leaves town to raise him.

Peter then finally starts a relationship with police officer Carlie Cooper. Spider-Man's heroic career rose up again, he joined the reassembled Avengers and also stayed with the New Avengers, who were outlaws no more. He learned that Michele was moving and he couldn't maintain his apartment anymore. However, Peter found a dream job, thanks to Jameson's wife Marla Madison , as compensation for Jameson firing him, as a scientist at Horizon Labs where he had access to much technology and resources while also giving him the freedom to come and go as he liked so long as he delivered good results.

He then faced a new Hobgoblin and the Kingpin, but days later, he lamentably lost Marla in a fight between Alistair Smythe 's Spider-Slayers. After Johnny Storm the Human Torch died preventing an invasion from the Negative Zone , Peter joined the Fantastic Four, now as the Future Foundation as Johnny's last request to him and helped them to fight an interdimensional version of Reed Richards, and the Sinister Six, who managed to steal tech from the Baxter Building.

Their third mission was in the Caribbean, on Earth. There, Reed located the epicenter of the dimensional anomalies the Future Foundation had been fixing. As the team explored the island, they were attacked by zombie pirates. It was revealed it was all a fake created by the Sinister Six, with only Mysterio and Chameleon really present, the other four members were robots.

Meanwhile, Doctor Octopus and the others infiltrated the Baxter Building, stealing technology for Doc Ock's further plans. Negative's identity [] as well as learning that Aunt May was moving to Boston with Jay Spider-Man found himself with a new problem: the Jackal returned and gave the majority of New Yorkers spider-powers. Fantastic created a cure using the Anti-Venom Symbiote , and after battling Peter under Jackal's influence , Peter's clone Kaine was accidentally cured of his mutations, turning him into a perfect clone.

He met with Jay and May while they were leaving for Boston. Also, because of revealing he had spider-powers during the Spider-Island incident, Peter's psychic blind spot was weakened, letting Carlie know he was Spider-Man, which caused her to break up with him.

Before giving the last cure sample to MJ, who briefly attempted to keep some spider-powers, Spidey met with Madame Web on the roof of Horizon Labs. She told him that he could de-power himself with the cured sample and someone else will step in to take his place. Peter refuses, saying that throwing his gift away would be the most irresponsible thing he's ever done. Madame Web warns that he is to suffer a loss. After fighting some old foes like the Vulture and his Vulture henchmen, [] teaming-up with Daredevil and Black Cat, [] [] and the now-alive Human Torch, Spider-Man faced the return of a menace.

Octavius asked for help from all nations to capture Spider-Man. To counter this, Spider-Man called on the heroes that were still on Earth to destroy the facilities of Octavius. They were faced by Rhino while the base started to flood, he trapped Sable and left Spider-Man with two choices, to continue to fight him in order to save Sable from drowning, but Octavius would activate the lenses or let him drown himself and Sable to stop Octavius. After leaving Sable to her death at her request, Spidey managed to destroy Octavius's arms and equipment before taking his foe away to a doctor, thus finally saving the world.

While fighting Mysterio, Spider-Man was accidentally sent through a dimensional rift in the villain's possession into Earth , the Ultimate Universe, where he encountered the Spider-Man of that world, Miles Morales , who had taken up the mantle of the late Peter Parker from his universe. Once Miles and S. May had a particularly tearful reunion with the image of what her nephew could've been, which was cut short when both Spider-Men were called by S.

Once Mysterio's base was located, the Spider-Men attacked him with assistance from the Ultimates and S. Before Mysterio's portal closed permanently due to malfunctions, Peter gave Miles his blessing as the new Spider-Man and returned to his reality. Later, Peter went online to search to see if his world had a Miles Morales counterpart and was shocked by what he discovered.

In the middle of a fight against the Hobgoblin, while his spider-sense was overloaded, Spider-Man was unsuspectedly pinched by one of Doctor Octopus' Octobots programmed to swap consciousness between the two, causing Peter to become trapped in the dying body of his foe while Octavius claimed Peter's life for himself.

In an attempt to take back his life with the little time he had left, Peter broke out of Octavius's cell in the Raft [] leading to a final confrontation between the two in the Avengers Tower. Though Peter failed to reverse the change, he managed to establish a weak link with Otto's mind using an Octobot. In his final moments, Peter forced Otto to relive all of his memories. Having experienced in a flash all of Peter's trials and tribulations, Otto learned his lesson of power and responsibility and swore to carry on with Peter's life with dignity as a superior Spider-Man.

Since Peter was mentally connected to Otto when his body perished, a portion of himself survived in his original body, but in the form of a subconsciousness, thus not able to control the actions of his body entirely. Even though Otto attempted to rid of this remnant of Parker, [] he decided to seek its help sometime later after being overwhelmed by the returned Green Goblin and his Goblin Nation.

Realizing that he failed in his role as the "superior" Spider-Man, having pushed his allies aside and lost his resources in the process, Otto willingly allowed Peter to reclaim his body in order to defeat Osborn once and for all and save Anna Maria Marconi , Otto's love. In the aftermath of Otto's possession of his body, Peter began to amend the relationships damaged by Otto's arrogance and negligence, both as Peter Parker and Spider-Man.

He additionally took up the reins of Parker Industries , a small company founded by Octavius after leaving Horizon Labs. While adjusting to his new status quo, especially his position as the CEO of his very own company, [] Peter learned of the existence of Cindy Moon , a second person to have been bit by the same radioactive spider which granted Peter his powers.

Spider-Man tracked her down and freed her from a bunker owned by the late Ezekiel Simms, where Cindy had spent over a decade in voluntary confinement shortly after getting her powers, in order to avoid drawing attention. While Peter notified Cindy that Morlun was dead, he had, in fact, survived his last encounter against Spider-Man. Not long after rescuing Cindy, who went on to adopt her own superheroic identity as Silk , [] Spider-Man was approached by a contingent of spider-people from all over the Multiverse that banded together to fight the Inheritors , a group of psychic vampires and family of Morlun that had begun to hunt down the spider-totems of other realities.

The combined Spider-Army were forced to retreat to Earth after their safe zone in Earth had been compromised by the Inheritors, namely Morlun, his brother Jennix , and his father and leader of the Inheritors, Solus. With the help of even more recruits from other realities and even a deviant Inheritor named Karn , the Spider-Army, including a version of Gwen Stacy with spider-powers known as " Spider-Gwen ," launched one final attack on the Inheritors' home of Earth The ritual was stopped, and the Inheritors were exiled with no means to return home to the radioactive wasteland that had become the world of Earth With the Inheritors neutralized, most of the spider-totems were sent home.

Spider-Man and a few others stayed on Earth for a little while longer to defeat the time-displaced Octavius, who had gone rogue after learning that Parker would eventually regain control of his body.

Octavius was defeated and returned to the time he had come from, losing the memory of the recent events in the process. With no more problems to confront, Spider-Man and the rest of the spiders were sent back home. Unbeknownst to anyone, Otto Octavius had created a digital back-up of his own mind which ended up inhabiting the metallic body of Parker Industries' robotic assistant, the Living Brain.

As a consequence of this, the company managed to expand into a global conglomerate with numerous bases in different countries, with the company's trademark invention being a mobile device called the Webware. This change in Peter's life impacted his superheroic alter ego as well. Spider-Man officially became the mascot of Parker Industries under the guise of being Peter's bodyguard. One of Peter's biggest challenges during his tenure as a billionaire C. O was the emergence of a mysterious biotech company, operating out of the Transamerica Pyramid , called New U.

Peter discovered it was a front for the operations of the Jackal, who claimed to have found a way to bring people back from the dead using cloning technology. In an attempt to persuade Peter to put Parker Industries' resources to help his plan, the Jackal resurrected numerous of his late friends and foes, including Gwen Stacy.

The Jackal's plan eventually fell apart following the triggering of cellular decay in the clones created by New U, which led to the release of the Carrion Virus worldwide.

Afterward, Peter teamed-up again with Teresa Durand , a CIA agent with whom Peter had already joined forces in a mission at least a year ago during which she was seemingly brainwashed by the Kingpin and Mentallo to believe she was Peter's long-lost sister. Hydra 's take-over of the United States of America temporarily put a halt to Peter and Teresa's escapades.

Numerous headquarters of Parker Industries around the globe were then targeted by the forces of the terrorist organization, [] namely a unit led by one of Hydra's latest additions, the duplicate of Doctor Octopus, who had gained a physical body through the Jackal's cloning technology.

In a last-ditch effort to prevent the resources of Parker Industries from falling in the hands of Octavius and Hydra, Parker had his employees obliterate all systems of the company, running Parker Industries into the ground. Despite having his civilian reputation smeared due to his company's collapse, Peter quickly got back on his feet.

After beginning a short-lived relationship with Parker Industries' former S. Before Peter recovered himself, however, his adventure with Teresa continued, who discovered that she truly was Mary and Richard Parker's daughter, [] and shared this information with Peter. Not long after Peter had decided to reveal his secret identity to Jameson, [] Jonah was kidnapped by Norman Osborn, and accidentally let it slip that Peter was Spider-Man.

Peter failed to take down Osborn despite the help from his allies, [] and was overpowered in battle even after Eddie Brock had lent him his symbiote. Peter only managed to defeat Osborn in a fight after tricking him into rejecting the symbiote, having claimed that any credit for his defeat would go to the Carnage symbiote and not Osborn himself.

Unfortunately, the process of defeating Osborn cost the life of Spider-Man's biggest fan, Flash Thompson, who had recently become the superhero Agent Anti-Venom. As the new mayor of New York City, the Kingpin started a campaign of public acceptance of Spider-Man to isolate him from his super hero peers. In his civilian identity, Peter was accused of plagiarizing his doctoral dissertation from Octavius and, unable to defend himself without exposing his secret identity, Peter was stripped of his credentials and was fired from the Daily Bugle as well as a result.

Connors at Empire State University to earn his college degree, Peter also started sharing an apartment with Randy Robertson again, but they were joined by a third roommate in the form of Frederick Myers, the super villain Boomerang [] , who struck up a tenuous friendship with Peter.

Although Peter had rekindled his relationship with Mary Jane, Kindred would use Mysterio to give her an acting opportunity out west for some months, [] while appearing in nebulous nightmares to psychologically torture Peter. With Kraven's return for a great hunt, Spider-Man was trapped by the hunter in Central Park alongside animal-themed villains.

His involvement was protecting Brock's son Dylan and Normie Osborn from the released Norman Osborn, who still believed himself to be Cletus Kasady and was bonded to a Carnage symbiote copy by the real Kasady as a pawn. A conflicted Peter chose to save Norman, who became the Green Goblin again to fight alongside him against the Sin-Eater. Norman attempted to kill Peter at the last moment, but The Order of the Web intervened and helped them escape.

With Norman further acting out of line, Peter finally snapped and left him behind at the Sin-Eater's mercy, who purified Osborn. Kindred tortured Peter, who traded his life for the Order's freedom, with repeated killing and resurrections [] then had a returned Mary Jane join their reunion.

Norman, purged of his wickedness, disclosed Kindred's identity to her, and she managed to distract Kindred long enough for Norman and the Kingpin to successfully enact a plan that restrained Kindred in a cage of Darkforce. For a brief time, Spider-Man accepted a work offer [] at Jameson's news outlet, TNM , gaining a new suit that enhanced his abilities and broadcasted his crime-fighting activities. With it, Spider-Man and Boomerang finished a long-running quest to reassemble the Lifeline Tablet fragments [] scattered over New York [].

However, Myers eventually revealed his friendship with Peter to have been a long con to get Spider-Man's help, and handed over the Tablet to Fisk to resurrect his son, The Rose. The investigation resulted in saving his classmate Jaime and handing over the coveted Clairvoyant over to his sister, Teresa [] []. Forced into a battle royale against various super villain teams under Kindred's influence vying to kill him, Boomerang sacrificed himself to save Spider-Man from Morlun's grasp, and the conflict ended with the villains all incapacitated by Doctor Octopus in a bid to free himself from Kindred's influence.

Harry soon arrived to aid Peter, and revealed that the twins were vessels made by the Osborn AI, a digital copy of Harry's evil mind from his Green Goblin days. With Harry dead amid the battle, Spider-Man was later buried in the collapsed building too fatigued to escape, but rescued by Mary Jane. With Peter alive, the twins were useless to Mephisto and immediately died from their unstable biology resuming. As Peter lamented Harry's death before heading home with Mary Jane, the two then shared a peaceful kiss atop the Empire State Building, freed of Kindred's haunting.

Although Peter attempted to return to his normal life, he remained traumatized by Harry's death, which negatively affected his grades. When the Beyond Corporation bought the Spider-Man trademark for privatized super heroism, they enlisted Ben Reilly as their own wall-crawler, who informed Peter.

Unable to legally stop it, Peter joined forces with Ben in a fight against the U-Foes, in which Peter suffered a near-fatal radiation exposure. After Ben delivered Peter to the hospital, Peter gave his blessing to Ben to continue as Spider-Man, before his body began to shut down and slipped into a coma. After Aunt May sought help elsewhere, Peter regained consciousness for a brief moment when Black Cat entered his room.

Spider-Man is commonly seen as a brave and righteous hero with an indomitable sense of justice and responsibility. Shaken by his uncle's tragic death, Spider-Man's vow of responsibility has led him to a path of heroism and humanitarian service. There are times when Spider-Man's sense of responsibility can be almost overbearing; this was evidently noted by Luke Cage when he felt embarrassed about Electro causing the Raft breakout, despite the fact he had nothing to do with it.

One of Spider-Man's most prominent traits is his sense of humor. He at times is seen as the class clown in every group he is in. Even in the face of certain death, Spider-Man invariably cracks a joke, to the annoyance of both friends and foes. His reasons for this vary: either he wants to relieve the stress of a situation, or simply because he wants to hide how scared he really is during a crisis. Also, he does this to get on the nerves of his opponents, since he knows that if they are angry, that they would normally lose themselves and be vulnerable to a superior skilled opponent.

It is generally agreed, however, that whenever a life is in danger, he will stop telling jokes and take the current situation with the utmost seriousness. Behind this humorous facade, however, is a wounded soul that has gone through much suffering. While Spider-Man is in combat, occasionally another person dies, leaving him depressed for having failed in his responsibility.

Guilt over the loss of his Uncle Ben continues to be the primary motivating factor in his super-heroics and his life in general. Peter is quick to assume guilt and responsibility for anything bad that happens in his presence or that can, in some way, relate back to him.

For instance, he assumed responsibility for Electro's mass breakout at the Raft [] and Norman Osborn's Initiative [] because they were "his" villains. Death, in particular, is difficult for Peter to reconcile with, leading him to make dramatic and unrealistic proclamations, such as his "Nobody dies!
