Peter Parker - Spiderman
ooc: I'm terribly sorry, this was the best bio I could find and it's rather horrible in my opinion.. anyway, I will try and look for more, but with my restrictions and all the many tiny three sentance 'He was bitten by a spider' and the infamous Ben Parker quote about power and responsibility it's making finding a decent one very hard for me
I will edit the bio with the proper NE sign up sheet once I get the time!! Soon hopefully.. in the next two or three days..
------------
Real name: Peter Parker
Occupation: Adventurer, freelance photographer
Group affiliation: None
Base of operations: New York City
Weapons: Spider-Man's wrist-mounted web-shooters discharge thin strands of web-fluid at high pressure. On contact with air, the long-chain polymer knits and forms an extremely tough, flexible fiber with extraordinary adhesive qualities.
Genetic Mutation: Spider-Man possesses superhuman strength, reflexes and equilibrium; the ability to cling to most surfaces; and a sixth sense that warns him of impending danger. While not a true power, Peter is also an extremely high level genius. He devised wrist-mounted web-shooters that discharge thin strands of web-fluid at high pressure. On contact with air, the long-chain polymer knits and forms an extremely tough, flexible fiber with extraordinary adhesive qualities. It is thought that had it not been for the radioactive spider that forever changed the young man's life, he may have grown to be a scientist close to, or on par with Reed Richards.
Known Weaknesses: Physically Peter Parker is slightly less susceptible to injury than an average person, though much of that could be from the years of fighting. Mentally Parker has a strong love for those he holds dear which often gets him into trouble. He has no problem putting himself on the line for those he loves, something that many of his adversaries have exploited over the years. Other than these, Parker has the normal weaknesses of any human.
Bio: Orphaned at a young age, Peter Parker was taken in by his Uncle Ben and Aunt May, who raised him like a son. Extremely bright, Peter was also extremely shy, and found solace in his studies, causing him to branded a social outcast with few friends. During a school science trip featuring a demonstration on radiation, a spider wandered into the radiation source, and became radioactive. Dying, the spider fell on Peter’s hand, bit him, and died.
Leaving the demonstration in pain, Parker slowly realized that the bit had somehow caused a change in his body, and he now possessed spider-like abilities. Seeing his powers as a chance to earn fame and fortune, Peter quickly designed a costume for himself, and pursued television stardom as the Amazing Spider-Man.
Leaving the TV studio after a taping, Peter chose to mind his own business when he encountered a burglar fleeing the scene of a robbery. Though he could have stopped the man easily enough, Peter allowed him to pass -- arrogantly believing that it was not his responsibility to chase criminals. He returned home only to discover that an intruder had murdered his uncle. Learning that police had cornered the hoodlum in a nearby warehouse, Peter donned his Spider-Man costume and rushed off to seek vengeance.
Employing his new abilities to capture the burglar, he realized that it was the thug he had allowed to escape at the studio. Filled with remorse, Peter finally understood that with great power, there must also come great responsibility -- and he vowed never to shirk his responsibilities again. On that day, a hero was born.
Spider-Man was good to his word, and became one of New York’s first costumed heroes, while working to earn a living for himself and Aunt May by selling photographs of himself in action to the Daily Bugle. At the Bugle, editor J. Jonah Jameson has waged a no-stop battle to smear Spider-Man’s name since his first appearance, but his crusade has largely failed, due to positive word of mouth, as well as Spider-Man’s "man on the street" personality.
From his first appearance, Spider-Man has chased a large number of criminals, many of them super-powered, including the Sandman, the Vulture, Venom, Mysterio, Dr. Octopus, Rhino, Electro, the Lizard, the Green Goblin, and many others.
While his life as Spider-Man has brought him a certain amount of fame, it has also come with a steep price. After he discovered Peter’s dual identity, the Green Goblin kidnapped Peter’s first love, Gwen Stacy, who was later killed during the battle between the Goblin and Spider-Man. Her death has haunted Peter ever since.
Through the years, Spider-Man has fought beside virtually every hero in the world, and has earned the respect of all his allies. Given their overlapping territories, Spider-Man and Daredevil have become close friends as the two have both grown into their roles.
As Peter matured his relationship with his on-again, off-again girlfriend Mary Jane Watson grew as well. The two dated seriously for many years, and ultimately married - a decision that both have since realized may have been somewhat rash and impulsive. Unable to resolve their differences, the couple has separated.
Forever motivated by the responsibility he feels due to his powers, which will always keep him in his identity of Spider-Man, and despite the personal tragedy he has endured, Peter truly loves being Spider-Man. For him, it’s the ultimate escape from the daily grind, a chance when he can let loose - something which shows in his sense of humor and joking when he wears his mask.
After years of hiding his secret, Aunt May finally learned that Peter is Spider-Man, and the two have come to a new understanding of each other’s lives, with May becoming one of Spider-Man’s strongest supporters, now, even prouder of her nephew.
Ever ready with the wisecrack, and constantly balancing his responsibility as a hero with his personal life, Peter has always remained steadfast in using his powers as Spider-Man for the good of all.
It wasn't until Aunt May died a few years ago that his career slowed a little, especially since he was now growing a little older, his abilities began to slack and his body was losing the high stamina he was so used to having when enduring constant attacks. It wasn't until he was eventually ambushed and captured by A.Corp in one of their many extensive experiements, however his capture was very short lived, after being attacked by one of their demonic agents, Jool, he was de-aged in an attempt to turn him into a child in hopes of retraining the famous hero and turning him into one of their own soldiers. Their plans were ruined when he managed to escape before Jool was able to turn him any younger then 19, so now the rejuvinated wall-crawler is hiding in the city streets, making his way to the one place that he knows will help keep him safe till he figures out what has happened to him and if this transformation is perminant..

Loza.. can I use Jool.. pwease? If not I'll make it some other random thingy-me-bob.. and I know the ending is kinda rushed.. but I'm really really really drained and not sure what else to put.. *Waits for Matt to point out everything she needs to improve on* I have actually had this bio open for two days now and edited it here and there.. hopefully it's not as bad as the ooc message up top makes it out to be..
And the damn thingy won't let me change his title!!
Of course you can use Jool, though from what I've read you already have!
But it's nice to see that everyone seems to escape from her before her works is completely done! *Points and laughs at her*
Anyway, I'll properly read over it a little later since I'm not sure how long I'm on for since I'm not sure what time I'm leaving for a concert tonight!
You feeling lucky, punk? *Sees odd looks from friends* Whaaat? I’ve always wanted to say that!
Re: Peter Parker - Spiderman
*Swings in on one of Spiderman's left over web pieces* Weeeee...this is fun
*Lands and throws on stamp* Great history Angie, I especially like the de-aging of him *scowls as think he should of thought of that* Look forward to seeing him web slinging around NY again!
*Swings away screaming 'weeeeee' at the top of his voice*
Funny I was just watching the first Spiderman again last week and it really is great, Tobey is one of the best actors out there I think since I also saw The Cider House Rules and Seabiscuit again recently.
It'll be great to have Peter Parker around especially with Angie controlling him! Make sure he runs into a few of my charries!
*runs over to MG to post before Matt hunts her down and kills her*
Re: Peter Parker - Spiderman
Yeeah but if you were to hunt me down and kill me I'd have a few months to plan my escape and I could be halfway across the world and eventually you'd give up and go back to siggies and posting.
Matt would be relentless and he would start right away!
Speaking of Matt and hunting me down...I didn't get to post earlier so I'll go do it now!
I have actually had this bio open for two days now and edited it here and there.. hopefully it's not as bad as the ooc message up top makes it out to be..
