Today we have very interesting topic: Spider-Man costumes. We'll tell you what his suits are made of, how many there are, and what gadgets are used.

After Peter discovered his powers after being bitten by a spider, he saw an ad in the newspaper offering a cash prize to anyone who could last three minutes in the ring with a professional wrestler. Peter decided that this was a good way to test his strength. To maintain anonymity, he puts on old clothes and makes himself a mask.

This is what the very first Spider-Man suit looked like.

After the victory, Peter was offered to become a show business star, for which Peter makes himself the well-known red and blue suit.

The suit was made of spandex, consisting of polyurethane fibers. The fabric is very elastic - it can stretch by 600% and return to its original state in a very short time. a short time. Spandex has great wear resistance, is also easy to wash and dries quickly.

Large white lenses are sewn onto the mask for good review wearing a mask. The lenses also function as sunglasses.

The suit has a standard set of gadgets:

Symbiote, “black suit”

First appearance of Secret Wars #8

Venom appears in the eighth issue of the Secret Wars event. Otherworldly (Beyond), having seen how strong the earth's heroes were, against their will he transferred a group of heroes and villains to another planet located in another galaxy so that they would fight each other. In one of these battles, Spider-Man tore his suit. He was advised to find himself a new suit at one of the bases. Having found an unknown mechanism at the base that released a black sphere, the Spider touched it. Thus, he released the imprisoned Venom, which replaces his old suit, makes him stronger and gives him a more menacing black color.

The suit gave Spider-Man new abilities, such as:

• Superhuman strength
  The symbiote significantly strengthens the muscles and skeleton of the body, making it much stronger;
• Superhuman Durability
  The symbiote strengthens the body, allowing it to calmly survive falls from great heights, gun shots, and blows from the strongest superheroes such as the Hulk and Juggernaut. The symbiote is also capable of absorbing small caliber bullets;
• Superhuman endurance

After Peter got rid of the symbiote, he was left without a suit at all. To avoid running home naked, Peter is given one of the spare Fantastic Four costumes and a bag is put on his head instead of a mask.

On the way home, “Package Man” stops a gang of bandits. After which journalists pounce on him, asking a bunch of questions about who he is, how he managed to stop the bandits, and whether he is trying to make fun of superheroes with his costume. Without answering questions, Peter escapes from the journalists and runs home.

Black suit

First appearance of Spectacular Spider-Man #99

Another costume worth mentioning is the black suit, but not the symbiote. After Peter got rid of the alien suit, a surprise awaited him from Black Cat, who sewed him an exact copy of the black suit, since she thought Spider-Man was sexier in it.

The suit is made of the same material as the classic one, i.e. made of spandex. At first Peter didn't wear one, but when his regular suit was torn or in the wash, Peter would wear a black suit. But after Venom visited Mary Jane, seriously frightening her, she asked Peter to take off this suit. Thus, the black suit was temporarily shelved.

Later, Peter wore a black suit to show his enemies that he was serious and was not going to joke. In this suit, Spidey behaved extremely aggressively, despite the fact that it was not a symbiote.

Wearing a black suit, Spidey almost killed Wilson Fisk (Kingpin/Stronghead) and Sergei Kravinov (Kraven the Hunter).

First appearance Amazing Spider-Man #529

After quelling a riot at Raft Prison, Spider-Man joined the New Avengers and became friends with Iron Man. Stark took care of Peter in every possible way, even settling the Parker family in Avengers Tower. Before the Civil War, Tony Stark made an agreement with Peter: Peter secretly became his main assistant. On this occasion, Tony Stark handed Peter an armored suit made of Kevlar microfiber. Kevlar has high strength (five times stronger than steel, tensile strength σ0 = 3620 MPa). Kevlar retains strength and elasticity at low temperatures, even cryogenic (-196°C). Moreover, at low temperatures it even becomes a little stronger. When heated, Kevlar does not melt, but decomposes at relatively high temperatures (430-480°C). The gold parts of the suit are made of titanium alloy.

The spider emblem serves as the housing for the computer system that controls the suit's gadgets, namely:

• Grid glider
  Allows you to make short flights, the computer can calculate the flight path;
• Radio communication
  Built-in fire, police and ambulance communication lines, audio and video amplification. Including infrared light and ultraviolet light;
• Hydrocarbon filters

• Armor
  The suit can withstand small caliber bullets;
• Heat resistance
  The suit can withstand high temperatures.

Armored Suit

First appearance of Amazing Spider-Man #654

When Spidey lost his spider-sense and was shot by Marcus Lyman, Spidey needed to somehow protect himself. For this reason, he made himself a new armored suit that can withstand bullets up to sniper rifle bullets.

In his suit, Spidey burst into the building where Marcus Lyman was holding hostages. The bandit tried to kill the hostages, but the Spider, in his armor, took the blow, withstanding a 5.56 mm machine gun burst. As a result, Spidey pushed Marcus outside, where dozens of snipers tried to shoot him. But Spider-Man saved the criminal, shielding him from sniper bullets, which his suit successfully withstood.

The exact material of the suit is unknown. Most likely the material is an impact-resistant polymer, which Peter invented. Underneath the black covering is Kevlar. On the head is a helmet with narrow lenses on the holes to minimize the chance of a bullet hitting the eye. Web shooters are not on the wrists, but on the forearm.

Another feature of the suit is a magnetic web that blocks any radio signals. Peter made it so that Marcus Lyman could not use the detonators.

Peter created the Spider Armor to help the Night's Watch defeat new team villains called the Enforcers, whose members had dangerous abilities and were a threat to all of New York. Acting as a team, they were very dangerous even for Spider. Spider-Man was in danger from the abilities of the Dragon, Termite and Eel, who could easily fry or blow up Spidey, as well as from a woman nicknamed Plant, who released poisonous spores. The armor is worn over a regular suit. The armor is made of Kevlar fiber. The plates are made of titanium alloy, which increases strength and heat resistance. The plates are connected so as not to interfere with movement. The lenses are made of heat-resistant glass that can withstand high temperatures. There is a built-in filter under the mask that clears the air of toxic spores.

When the fight with the Enforcers began, the armor perfectly protected the Spider from high temperatures and explosions. But during the battle, the armor gradually broke down from numerous blows. The fatal move was made by Thermite, who melted the plates and then froze Spidey. Spider-Man broke the frozen armor. Spider-Man never used this armor again.

Costume Features:

• Armor
  The plates can withstand small caliber bullets;
• Heat resistance
  Kevlar and titanium can withstand high temperatures;

Stealth suit

First appearance of Amazing Spider-Man #650

One day, the Hobgoblin broke into Horizon Labs and stole an artificially created metal, revirbium, which is almost impossible to destroy, and one day, reflecting the vibrations, almost destroyed the entire building.

To prevent this dangerous metal from falling into the wrong hands, Spider decides to steal it back, but to do this he needed to get into the Kingpin's heavily guarded tower. For these purposes, Spider decided to develop a special suit that makes him invisible and isolates any external sounds in order to protect himself from the Hobgoblin's ultrasonic laughter, as well as internal sounds (in this case, Spider-Man's voice and breathing).

The suit is made of an omi-harmonic network with the properties of bending light and sound. The suit has 3 modes:

• Green, invisible mode
  In this mode, the suit bends light and sound, making Spidey invisible, and isolates sound. Neon lines serve to ensure that the Spider can navigate in space while in invisible mode. With the help of special lenses, he sees these lines;
• Red, soundproof mode
  Completely isolates all external sounds, including ultrasound;
• White
  This is normal mode, becomes a normal suit.

In addition to these properties, the suit has one more feature - these are special anti-metal spider bugs that can destroy any type of metal.

Future Foundation Suit

First appearance of Amazing Spider-Man #658

When the Future Foundation called Spidey on a mission, he came in an old Fantastic Four costume to join their team. But the team ended up with new suits, and they also gave Spidey a new suit. Peter initially joked that he looked like an anti-Venom and people would think he was bad.

The suit is made of unstable molecules. The fabric is made of unstable molecules, difficult to cut with a knife and pierce with small-caliber bullets. The suit cannot be stained, which is a big plus, since the suit is white.

Scarlet Spider Costume

First appearance of Web of Spider-Man Vol 1 #118

After long wanderings, Ben Riley, considering himself a useless clone, returned to New York with the desire to help Spidey fight crime.

Riley makes herself a costume different from Spidey's. He puts on a red leotard, the material identical to the Spider's costume (spandex). Over the tights is a blue sleeveless sweatshirt with a spider emblem on the chest.

On top of the suit are web shooters and a belt with cartridges for them. The web shooter cartridges are larger than Spidey's, increasing his web supply. One of the special features of the suits are poison darts in web shooters that paralyze enemies.

After the first battle with Venom and saving people, the journalists who watched this nicknamed Ben the Scarlet Spider.

First appearance of Sensational Spider-Man #0

Shocked by this news, and also learning that Mary Jane is pregnant, Peter decides to quit his superhero career. And asks Ben to take his place. But Riley did not replace Spidey for long. Peter returned when he discovered that they had been misled.

It is worth mentioning that in this costume Ben merged with the Carnage symbiote.
When Scarlet Spider escaped from the Ravencroft Institute, he merged with Carnage, who escaped through the plumbing from the cell of his host Cletus Kasady.

Kernage gives all the same abilities as Venom, but he can also transform his limbs into melee weapons.

Dusk soon died in a fierce battle, and at the request of the rebels, Spider-Man donned the Dusk costume.

Dusk

One of the features of the suit is a glider, which allows you to fly short distances. Since the suit is completely black, it is almost impossible to see in the dark.

the one he tried on was the Ricochet suit.

Ricochet

First appearance of Amazing Spider-Man #434

To avoid giving himself away, Peter used only his agility in this suit, jumping away from attacks and jumping from wall to wall, which is why he was nicknamed Ricochet.

Using Ricochet's suit, Peter temporarily teamed up with Spider-Man's old enemy Deliala in order to obtain information about several villains, including Black Tarantula, who was hunting Spider-Man and suspected that Ricochet's mask was hiding Spider-Man. Spider.

After Spidey and Deliala managed to stop the Black Tarantula, Peter put Ricochet's suit on the shelf.

Hornet

The new costume was made again by Mary Jane. Peter borrowed web shooter technology from Scarlet Spider, making bracelets that fired paralyzing darts. Instead of a regular mask, Peter wore a helmet with protective glass. The jetpack was made by Hobie Brown, but since the jetpack was too heavy a burden for an ordinary person, he gave it to Spider.

Spider-Man's debut as the Hornet was a success. Within a few days, Hornet became a folk hero. Hornet stopped Luther (Looter), who stole money that served as a reward for the capture of Spider-Man. Hornet was then interviewed, asking "Would you stay in New York to stop Spider-Man" to which he replied "I don't think you'd have to worry about Spider-Man anymore." But the hornet’s words were twisted, and something completely different was printed in the newspapers. Because of this article, the Human Torch attacked Hornet, warning him that if he touched Spider-Man, he would regret it.

One day during a battle with Vulture, Vulture recognized Spider-Man's fighting style and his taunts, he realized that Hornet was Spider-Man and planned to reveal the truth to people. Therefore, Peter was forced to take off the Hornet costume.

After the Hornet suit, Peter puts on the Twilight Suit mentioned at the beginning.

When Peter was looking for Trasper in the Twilight costume, Osborn put a bounty on Trasper's head to keep him from spilling the beans. Spidey manages to save Trasper from Shocker. Dusk said that he helped Trapster because Norman was using him too. Dusk and Trapster became allies. One day, Trapster called Dusk with him to kill Norman Osborn, but Peter stopped him, he convinced Trapster to confess in court to what Osborn ordered to be done, so that his life would be hell. Trapster did so, and thus Spider-Man's name was partially cleared.

But Peter believed that the electric shock caused his spider abilities to increase.

One day, Spider-Man and other heroes encountered a team assembled by Loki, and with the help of his new power, Spidey defeated them. But Locky did not stop and created Triguard (Tri-sentinel) of three Guardians, mutant hunter robots.

And at that moment, Spider-Man's full power of energy manifested itself, and he turned into Captain Universe. The full force of Captain Universe's energy gave Spidey the following abilities:

Spider-Man or Spiderman (Peter Benjamin Parker, English Spiderman) is a superhero from Marvel comics, invented by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. Spider-Man first appeared in The Amazing Fantasy #15 in August 1962. Since then, he has been one of the most famous and commercially successful superheroes. Now it appears not only in comics, but also in movies, on television, on clothing, in video games and in the form of toys.

This is the main character of a teenage superhero who works independently rather than assisting a mature superhero. However, during the period of publication of stories about him, he managed to graduate from school, college and even become a married teacher.

Character Creation

In 1962, at the beginning of the so-called Silver Age of Comics, and after the success of the Fantastic Four and other characters like the Hulk, Ant-Man or Iron Man, the director of Marvel Comics, he asked his head writer, Stan Lee, who created a new superhero, who will eventually be Spider-Man.

At the time, teen characters in superhero comics tended to retain the role from companion to main character, but Stan Lee might not have stood for such a character and Spider-Man broke this trend by taking them as main characters. b These readers will identify immediately with Peter Parker, Spider-Man's "alter ego", for his timid nature, their loneliness and their limited ability to fit in between young people their age.

Stan Lee cites among his influences Crime Fighter: The Spider That Appeared, published in a pulp magazine.

Lee pitched the project to editorial director Martin Goodman, but rejected the character, taking into account that Spiders were not of public taste. He did, however, introduce Spider-Man to the final series, which featured different stories on each copy, often about monsters, aliens or paranormal phenomena. The series was called Amazing Fantasy, which, in order to last number(fifteenth), change its name to Amazing Fantasy.

Jack Kirby, Lee's greatest contributor, was given the task of drawing that first story. However, it was not a happy outcome for Lee. In his opinion, Spider-Man was designed by Kirby, who remembered the other heroes of this drawing: too muscular, similar to Captain America. The commission then passed into the hands of Steve Ditko, a darker artist than Kirby, accustomed to giving life to mysterious and unusual characters. with Ditko featuring the final image of Spider-Man completely rejecting Kirby's previous work, which used a traditional superhero costume and partial mask, Buccaneer gloves and boots, and a gun of sorts as he shoots the web. Instead, Ditko designed a recognizable costume from anywhere, with a very original, closed eyes and large white mask look that made Spider-Man the hero look somewhat sinister.

early years

A few months after Spider-Man debuted at number 15 Amazing Fantasy (August to October 1962), editor-in-chief Martin Goodman discovered that the number's sales were impressive. Goodman ordered Lee to immediately provide trepamuros with his own collection, which would be called The Amazing Spider-Man and would launch his career with a cover date of March 1963. Ditko would remain as the series illustrator for issue 38, but left this task to creative differences with Stan Lee. d will be replaced by John Romita, who Spider-Man will provide a more romantic air, making him more muscular and seductive. Romita also redesigned Gwen Stacy, a minor character who would soon become Peter Parker's great love before his death, and met Mary Jane Watson, and Peter's neighbor, with whom he would eventually marry many years later.

Seventies

In the early seventies, Spider-Man's story forced a revision of the Comics Code, the censorship mechanism for American comics. Until then, this code does not restrictively prohibit mention of drugs, if only speaking negatively of them. However, at that time, the United States Department of Health went to Stan Lee to ask me to write a story with an anti-drug message, and this story appeared in one of the best comic books - sold by Marvel.

Lee decided to make a three-figure arc that appears on numbers 96, 97 and 98 of The Amazing Spider-Man (May to July 1971). In the adventure, Harry Osborn, Peter Parker's best friend, becomes addicted to LSD. Although the story is clear of its anti-drug message, Comics Code is reluctant to include its imprint on it. Stan Lee then decided to publish it without a seal, which ultimately led to the loosening of the rules governing it.

In the seventies, both Stan Lee and John Romita abandoned their tasks in The Amazing Spider-Man, and although it would have been arranged later than the press character strips, it would have fallen into other hands: screenwriter young Gerry Conway, who worked with artists such as Ross Andru and wrote two of the most famous stories about lanzarredes: the death of Gwen Stacy in September and the Clone Saga.

In 1972, the second Spider-Man series was released and was published in parallel to Amazing. It was a Marvel Team-Up, in which Spider-Man co-starred with other Marvel heroes.

In 1976, he begins his second solo series, Peter Parker, a thrilling Spider-Man whose stories intertwine with the interests of The Amazing, focusing mainly on Peter Parker's personal life.

Nineties

The launch of the fourth title in 1990, composed and written by Todd McFarlane, an author who placed him among fan favorites with his previous graphic work Amazing, was met with a bestseller: three million copies of the first release, although this was largely due to the strong presence of speculators in the American market comics in the nineties, a phenomenon that would lead to the greatest crisis in its history, from which it is only beginning to recover ten years later.

In 1999, she led a major restructuring of the arachnid franchise. The Amazing Spider-Man series, which had been in print since 1963, would be canceled at issue 441 (November 1998), only to return later with a new issue 1. The same would apply to the second arachnid collection, which was then titled Peter Parker: Man-Man. spider (old "Spider-Man" McFarlane).

New issues 1 lanzarredes arrive, and at the beginning of 1999, the hand of the writer Howard McKee, who from years ago, wrote some of the Spider-Man collections, and the artist and writer John Byrne, who also try to revise the origins of the character with the series that will soon take place in Fly: Spider-Man: Chapter One. No commercial success or critical accompaniment to accompany Relaunch's false character seemed, in everyone's mind, to have lost its luster of yesteryear.

2000

Since the turn of the century, Joe Quesada, the new editorial director, has begun an operation to bring back the pomp to Spider-Man (and all of Marvel in general), leading to the signing of prestigious television writer Joe Straczynski for such a task. Straczynski's arrival was widely welcomed by readers, and soon sales began to rise (triple the original print run), although their changes would not have been without controversy, raising the saga of sins of the past.

Although the Straczynski stage has been criticized by several "traditionalists", the truth is that few writers have been able to write as well as the adult and so serious mind of Spider-Man, I'm giving away some of the pomp of the past while also having the advantage of introducing new stories. based on magic and a "pack of" conventional enemies with "super-technology", all depicted by an artist of great prestige like John Romita Jr.

Thanks to this, Amazing restored its original numbering, and so, in December 2003, it would see the light of its historic 500th collection. The collection has continued numbering since then.

But poor and questionable editorial decisions shortly before the Civil War landmark (as Straczynski said in "One More Day: Special Edition") led to lower quality publications, such as the series "Other/El Otro" J, which have no argument force it should probably be because of the diversity of writers and artists.

When some critics were restoring the quality of the "Back In Black" storyline, Marvel decided that Spider-Man needed to be more fun and less adult to suit the style of superhero films, so they tried to return the character to his origins.

This picks up "SAGA One More Day" 11, which, although featuring a superb argumentalmente (in dialogue and graphics), brings the contradiction of its bitter end: It was decided that Spider-Man never married Mary Jane, and the reality of the Marvel Universe distorts it so that much of what happened in "Amazing" in the final stages "never happened", returning to a more fun Spider-Man and simplified to attract younger readers.

Typically, Spider-Man has two regular series on the market, and is supported by other miniseries and specials. Also launched in 2000 was Ultimate Spider-Man, an update to the character's mythos that tells his stories from the beginning as if they were happening for the first time. The series, written by Bendis and drawn in its first 110 numbers by Mark Bagley, achieved incredible success and brought Masked to a new audience.

2010

Marvel announced that the character was expecting big changes in its 5 sample posters titled "Year of Spider-Man 2010." Already in 2009, a saga called “the gauntlet began,” which would end in “The Hunt of Sinister.” These two tales recount the return of several classic Trepa villains—and the revenge of his family—Kraven the Hunter, the Kravinoff. Finally the Kravinoff family is overcome as a result of Origin of Species, where Spider-Man must rescue a child from Norman Osborn and Lily Hollyster Dr.

Octopus and other villains are seen in Gauntlet (indicatively, the father of Harry's child). 2010 Spider-Man ends with a lot of time, where, despite the fact that the deal with Mephisto still stands, all New Day continuity changes are removed, as is the return of Harry Osborn, who goes to care for his son, Stanley. Peter gets a permanent job and is well paid as the new star of Horizon Science Labs. The Great Moment returns Duende and Wilson Fisk to lifelong superherodom as new outfits for various functions.

After the death of a person the torch is in the negative zone. Spider-Man replaces it with Fantastic 4, at Johnny's request, renaming the group as the Future Foundation and changing the group's traditional costumes, including Spider-Man.

Some are in black and white. On June 16, it was announced that a new script for the series would be released in November by Zeb Wells and drawn by Joe Madureira called "Punisher Spider-Man" in order to model the seventies "Marvel Team-Up" series, featuring adventures with little influence on "Amazing Spider" -Man" where Spider-Man teams up with several heroes in the Marvel Universe, in this case (from which the series title comes) there would be several of his fellow Avengers guests.

In 2011, in the publications of typical comics (set in another universe, the so-called Ultimate), Peter Parker died fighting the Green Goblin. Comic book writer Brian Bendis explained that this was due to a very important reason, after which a mini-series was created by Ultimates Fallout, where a young Latino, Miles Morales, takes Parker's place.

In the bow of the "dying wish" Octopus, a doctor who suffered from osteochondrosis, who was on the verge of death, switches bodies with Parker through one of his Octobots, Peter makes every effort to restore his body, but unfortunately, not even in the final In the battle he manages to pierce all his experiences as Spider-Man, who makes Octopus realize how bad his methods were, finally, Peter Parker dies in the body of Doctor Octopus while this, he swears that he will stay.

Spider-Man protecting his loved ones in place and with his unstoppable genius and boundless ambition would be a better Spider-Man than ever - or what Parker meant by this was "Superior Spider-Man". He then discovered that there was still a fragment of Peter Parker's consciousness in the mind of Octopus to act as a ghost and gain greater control over your body.

Superior Spider-Man #9, Doc Oka realizes the presence of Peter's ghost and after an intense fight, Octopus erases all memories of Parker living in his mind, which ends before Peter's destruction, but is definitely not the case. Finally in the nose of "Goblin Nation" Doc Ock victim erases all traces of his mind in order to obtain his body and thus stop the Green Goblin causing complete chaos in New York City

Peter Parker is portrayed as very intelligent and capable child, living in New York City. He has been late throughout the period of publishing comics and is not happy, but he understands chemistry and physics. He is greatly disliked by other teenagers, disrespected and insulted. Peter lived with his aunt and uncle. Uncle Ben once told Peter that with great power comes great responsibility. Once, at a presentation, Parker was bitten by a radiation spider, and he developed spider abilities, including the ability to:

The bite of an irradiated spider gave student Peter Parker incredible arachnid powers. When a night burglar killed his beloved Uncle Ben, Peter, heartbroken, vowed to use his amazing abilities to protect loved ones. He learned one priceless lesson: with great power comes great responsibility!

Biography

early years

Peter Parker was orphaned at the age of six when his parents died in a plane crash. Peter was taken in by his aunt and uncle, Ben and May Parker. He was a very smart boy who was highly regarded by the teachers at Midtown High School, but his shyness and interest in learning often made him an outcast among his peers.

Boy, spider and robber

General Techtronics Corporation held an exhibition on the safe handling of radiation, and Peter, as a true science lover, simply could not miss it. At the exhibition, he was bitten by a spider exposed to radiation in a particle accelerator. On the way home, Peter discovered that he had somehow gained incredible strength, agility, and the ability to cling to walls, and immediately realized that it was due to the spider bite.

After seeing an ad offering a cash prize to anyone who could last three minutes in the ring with a professional wrestler, Peter decided it was a good way to test his strength. To avoid shame in case of defeat, he built himself a mask. Parker easily defeated his opponent and was noticed by a television producer, who convinced him to get a job in television. Having sewn a colorful suit and designed containers that shoot webs, Peter called himself Spider-Man and immediately became a sensation.

After his television appearance, Peter refused to stop the thief, saying that it was none of his business. Pete forgot about this incident and continued to bask in the glory. One evening, he returned home to find that Uncle Ben had been killed. After learning from the police that a criminal was cornered in an old warehouse, Peter went there and easily defeated him. When the criminal's face was caught in the rays of light, Parker recognized him as the same robber whom he had once refused to detain. Filled with remorse, Peter realized that with great power comes great responsibility. He soon began a distinguished crime-fighting career as the Amazing Spider-Man.

Taking on Great Responsibility

At first, Spider-Man wanted to join the Fantastic Four, but the team turned him down. Then he began to tear off all sorts ofcrimes alone, and sold the photographs taken with an automatic camera to the Daily Bugle newspaper ( Daily Bugle). Spider-Man quickly became New York's most famous resident, although Bugle publisher Jonah Jameson was forever stigmatizing him and calling him a menace. Parker's greatest fear was for Aunt May: he thought that if she found out about his superhero activities, she wouldwill have a heart attack.

Early in his career, Spider fought Chameleon for the first time ( Chameleon), Vulture, Tinkerer, Kraven the Hunter ( Kraven the Hunter), Sandman ( Sandman), Lizard, Dr Doom, Misterio and the Green Goblin ( Green Goblin). But his main enemy at that time was the insidious Doctor Octopus ( Doc Ock). It was he who gathered several of the above villains into the Sinister Six team ( Sinister Six) with the sole purpose of destroying Spider-Man.

At the time, Peter was dating Betty Brant ( Betty Brant , a secretary from the Daily Bugle. Betty was very jealous of Parker and Liz Allan ( Liz Allan) who was in love with him. Aunt May and the Parkers' neighbor Anna Watson ( Anna Watson) hoped that Peter would start dating Mary Jane(Mary Jane) , Anna’s niece, but the young people saw each other for the first time only a few months later.

Studying at university and life after graduation

After graduating from school, Peter entered the Empire State University, and now he had to combine study, work and exploits. Parker soon became friends with Harry Osborn, the son of Norman Osborn, the Green Goblin. Peter and Harry rented an apartment together, and Parker helped his friend with his studies and supported him at times when his relationship with his father became especially difficult.

The Green Goblin came up with more and more ingenious ways to deal with the Spider, and soon he eclipsed the other enemies of the Spider with his antics. The Goblin was not only the first villain, but also the first person to learn the secret identity of Spider-Man.

At university, Peter met Gwen Stacy and they fell in love. However, after Gwen's father, police captain George Stacy, died during a fight between Spider-Man and Doctor Octopus while trying to save the child, the girl hated Spider and blamed him for her father's death. Peter did not reveal his secret identity to her, fearing that it would ruin their relationship.

Peter and Gwen's happiness together was short-lived. One day, the Green Goblin kidnapped her and threw her off a bridge. Spider-Man released his web and caught Gwen by the legs, but the sudden jerk broke her spine. The loss of Gwen was perhaps the worst tragedy for Peter since the death of Uncle Ben.

The fight against the villains did not end. The Spider constantly had to deal with the Rhinoceros ( Rhino), the second Vulture, Shocker ( Shocker), Kingpin, Prowler, and even with the vampire Morbius ( Morbius).

After the death of Gwen Stacy, Mary Jane provided Peter with great moral support. Peter soon fell in love with her and even proposed, but Mary Jane refused and disappeared from Peter’s life for several months.

After graduating from university, Peter continued his career as a photographer and superhero. Now he lived alone, and Aunt May decided to organize a boarding school for the elderly in her home. For some time, Spider had a partnership and romantic relationship with Black Cat ( Black Cat). However, Cat was only interested in Spider-Man and not Peter Parker, and they broke up.

Symbiote, Avengers and wedding

When a mysterious being known as the Beyonder kidnapped numerous heroes and villains to organize "Secret Wars", Spider-Man was among them. During various battles, Peter's suit was badly damaged, and he decided to use the alien mechanism to repair his clothes. However, the mechanism did not work as expected, and Spider acquired a black symbiotic suit. He used this suit after Secret Wars until he noticed that it (the suit) was behaving strangely. Then Peter turned to Reed Richards ( Reed Richards) , who found out that this living suit is gradually enslaving its wearer. Reed placed the suit in a special trap, but soon the symbiote escaped and merged with Spider-Man's longtime enemy, reporter Eddie Brock ( Eddie Brock). This is how one of the most dangerous supervillains appeared - Venom ( Venom).

Spider-Man had to fight alongside all the heroes of Manhattan, if not the world, many times. One day, having learned that all members of the Avengers team received financial benefits, he decided to join their ranks. Together with the Avengers, he eliminated the threat of Project Pegasus. However, in the end, the heroes refused to accept him into their team.

After some time, Mary Jane returned to Peter's life. After his fight with the supervillain Puma, she revealed that she had figured out the secret of Parker's double life early in his career. Soon they got married. Harry Osborne rented a loft for the newlyweds in the same building where he lived. At one time, Mary Jane's cousin, Christie, lived with the Parkers. However, Peter and Mary Jane subsequently moved to Queens to live with Aunt May due to financial difficulties.

Although the Avengers did not want to accept Spidey, they soon had to work together again to stop the supervillain Nebula ( Nebula), who wanted to destroy the entire Universe. Unaccustomed to confronting cosmic threats, the Spider became the culprit in the fact that the Nebula received the power of the Infinite Union ( Infinity Union ). Fortunately, the heroes managed to defeat the villain, but the Avengers again refused to let Spider-Man join the team. However, some time later they accepted it on a temporary basis.

Peter also spent time as a research fellow at Empire State University. During this period, he was given the power of Captain Universe so that he could defeat numerous robots, including Sentinels, designed to hunt mutants. With the threat eliminated, Peter's power as Captain Universe left him.

The Clone Saga

When Aunt May suffered a heart attack (she never recovered and died), Ben Riley, a clone of Peter Parker created by the villain Jackal, came to see her. Peter and Ben once fought, and Spider believed the clone to be dead. However, now Riley has returned with completely friendly intentions. He created his own superhero costume and began to help Parker in his adventures. The Daily Bugle nicknamed him the Scarlet Spider, and he began to use this nickname. Together with Parker, he fought the evil clone of Spider-Man - Kane, as well as the Jackal. Soon Mary Jane became pregnant, and she and Peter moved to Portland, Oregon. Pete abandoned his Alter Ego in order to devote maximum time to his family.

After the second Doctor Octopus disgraced the name of the Scarlet Spider, Riley began performing as Spider-Man. At this time, Mary Jane went into labor and was taken to the hospital. This hospitalization was set up by Norman Osborn, who kidnapped the newborn May Parker. The parents were told that the girl died during childbirth. The Green Goblin then attempted to kill Parker, but Ben Riley, who arrived in time, rushed onto the villain's glider and sacrificed himself to save Peter.

Since Peter Parker's and Kane's fingerprints matched, it was Spider-Man who was blamed for the murders committed by this first disfigured Spidey clone. To continue his career as a crime fighter, Peter alternated between changing costumes and different time called himself Hornet, Dusk, Prodigy and Ricochet. Having regained his good name, he returned to his usual image. After some time, the hero of the Golden Age, Black Miracle ( Black Marvel) gave these four costumes to different teenagers and formed them into a team called "Spinners" ( Slingers). Shortly after these events, the Avengers invited Spidey to rejoin their team, but he refused.

As it turned out later, Aunt May was still alive, and the Parkers buried a copy of her. Peter and Mary Jane returned to New York and settled in Manhattan. Peter promised Mary Jane to end Spider-Man's career, but at night he again went to his exploits. Their marriage began to fall apart. Soon Mary Jane was in a plane crash, and everyone assumed she was dead. After some time, it turned out that she had survived, but Mary Jane refused to live with Peter.

First meetings with Ezekiel

Shortly after Mary Jane left for California, Peter met an unusual man named Ezekiel Sims. Fifty-six-year-old Ezekiel had exactly the same abilities as Spider-Man, with the exception of Spider-Sense, and was one of the co-owners of a large corporation. Sims' business partners also had abilities reminiscent of various animals, but Peter never met them.

Ezekiel hired the best private detectives on the planet to get all kinds of information about Spider-Man. He then compared the results of their independent investigations and came to the conclusion that Spider-Man is Peter Parker. Thus began their very strange friendship.

Ezekiel told Peter about his connection to the totemic source of power - the spider. Because of this close connection, he was an excellent candidate for prey for an ancient mystical creature named Morlun ( Morlun). The same danger threatened Ezekiel himself, but he, like his superhuman friends, was a less pure source of totemic energy. Therefore, Sims suggested that Parker hide from Morlun in a specially equipped shelter. The spider refused and entered into an unequal battle with the energy vampire. When he realized that he could not defeat Morlun, Ezekiel came to his aid, and with an unexpected blow he was able to break the monster’s nose. In the subsequent battle, Ezekiel, as it seemed to Peter, drowned, but thanks to the obtained blood sample, Spider-Man was able to learn about Morlun's only weakness - susceptibility to radiation. He went to a nuclear power plant, where he repeated the experiment on himself that had once turned him into a superman (this time the spider was not needed, Peter simply prepared a suitable radioactive solution). This enhanced all his abilities for several weeks. In addition, a lot of radiation entered the Spider’s body, and now he easily dealt with Morlun, after which the monster, weakened to the limit, was shot by his own assistant Dex ( Dex).

After some time, it turned out that Ezekiel did not die. He reappeared in the life of Spider-Man to warn about the approach of another extremely dangerous mystical creature - the supervillain Shatra ( Shatra). Subsequently, he more than once supplied Peter with valuable information about various enemies of occult origin.

Book of Ezekiel

By the time Ezekiel's true intentions were revealed, Spider-Man's life had already improved somewhat: Mary Jane returned to him, and Aunt May learned Peter's secret. And then one day Ezekiel reappeared in New York to warn of the impending arrival of another mystical threat - the Gatekeeper. As usual, Peter refused to hide and fought the Gatekeeper, but was defeated. When Spider woke up, he discovered that he was in South America, and Ezekiel was going to sacrifice him. It turned out that Morlun, Shatra and other mystical villains were hunting Ezekiel, and not Peter at all. And the insidious Sims, with his warnings, forced everyone to get involved in battle every time.

All these villains hunted Ezekiel because he was not worthy of his power, obtained during an ancient Mayan ritual. Ezekiel saw only one way out - to sacrifice his “worthy” competitor, Spider-Man. However, already performing the ritual of sacrifice, Ezekiel changed his mind and gave himself up to be devoured by bloodthirsty spirits.

Changing Abilities

After meeting a very strange supervillain, the Queen ( Queen), Spider-Man gained the ability to shoot webs directly from his wrists, and his Spider-Sense and other abilities were greatly enhanced. But that was only the beginning. Soon Peter died and was reborn, which further strengthened his totemic connection with the spider, and at the same time his abilities.

Friendship with Iron Man and Civil War

After quelling a riot at Raft Prison, Spider-Man joined the New Avengers and became friends with Iron Man. Stark took care of Peter in every possible way: he settled the Parker family in the Avengers Tower, supported the Spider during a difficult period of death and rebirth, and gave him a unique Red and Gold Spider Armor, which allowed him to act even more effectively. Tony considered Peter a very valuable ally and made an agreement with him: Pete became his main assistant behind the scenes.

When the government started talking about passing the Superhero Registration Act, Spider-Man and Iron Man worked together to convince politicians to reject the bill. This did not produce results, and Tony announced to Spidey that he would have to act in support of the Act in order to control the situation as S.H.I.E.L.D. officers and prevent the start of mass persecution of superheroes. Since Parker had already realized that he could trust Stark, he agreed.

At the beginning of the Civil War, Peter was one of Iron Man's most loyal supporters. He even agreed to publicly reveal the secret of his identity, and a little later helped Stark coordinate the actions of legal heroes and S.H.I.E.L.D. in the battle with Captain America’s rebels. However, he increasingly doubted that he had chosen the right path, and eventually decided to go over to Cap's side. Perhaps Iron Man would have been able to convince him, but the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents burst in and opened fire, and the Spider escaped. S.H.I.E.L.D. director Maria Hill sent several supervillains to capture him, and in the battle with them the Spider Armor was almost completely destroyed. The wounded Spider was discovered by the Punisher, who took him to the rebel headquarters. Peter spent the rest of the war fighting on Cap's side.

One more day

When Captain America surrendered to the authorities and the Civil War ended, Spider-Man found himself in a very difficult situation. Besides the fact that he was an outlaw, now all the supervillains knew his real name. The Kingpin, who was in prison, sent an assassin who mortally wounded Aunt May. Peter and Mary Jane took her to the hospital, but the doctors' verdict was disappointing: she would live another day.

In desperation, Spider-Man turned to Iron Man for help. Tony replied that he would not help a state criminal in any way, since he did not want to risk his newly acquired position as director of S.H.I.E.L.D. He defeated Peter and flew away. But returning to Avengers Tower, he paid his butler Jarvis a bonus of several million dollars and asked him to dispose of it as he pleased, hinting at the poor health of their mutual friend. Jarvis immediately went to the hospital and May received the best treatment money can buy. But this was not enough.

When Peter was already desperate to save his aunt, Mephistopheles came to him and offered a deal. He promised to cure May and settle the secret identity situation on the condition that Peter and Mary Jane would no longer be married. The couple consulted for a long time. Before Mephisto could commit his dirty deed, Mary Jane made her deal with him: she would convince Peter to accept such conditions, and the demon would leave him alone forever.

Mephisto returned to the past, on the eve of Spider and MJ's wedding. In the form of a bird, he freed a criminal who had just been arrested thanks to our hero. This criminal again reached the Spider, as a result of which he was late for the wedding. Mary Jane decided that Peter did not love her and broke up with him.

The problem with the secret identity was solved even more simply: shortly after the Civil War, at a meeting of the Illuminati, a decision was made: Doctor Strange would simply erase it from the memory of the whole world. When Strange cast the spell, Peter disrupted the process, causing Mary Jane to still remember who her would-be husband was.

Brand new day

So Peter Parker's world has changed a lot. Then numerous difficulties began with work, friends and enemies. Peter gave Jonah Jameson a heart attack, and his wife sold the Daily Bugle to tabloid king Dexter Bennett, who soon fired Parker. Peter became friends with police officer Vin Gonzalez, who hates Spider-Man. Together they rented an apartment until Vin went to prison on a ridiculous false charge. Vin's place in the apartment was taken by his cousin Michelle, with whom Peter developed an unusual relationship - sometimes hateful, sometimes romantic. Harry Osborn returned from oblivion, and Spider met his girlfriend Lily Hollister (as it later turned out, she was the supervillain Menace) and Lily's friend, Carly Cooper.

Numerous new enemies have appeared - Menace ( Menace), Screwball, Freak, Mr Negative, new Vulture ( Vulture) and many others. Old acquaintances also haunted me.

Peter began to have real problems looking for work. For some time he worked part-time for the Front Line newspaper ( Frontline) with his old friend Ben Urich, then spent some time as one of Jonah Jameson's assistants, who was elected mayor of New York.

Dark Dominion

After the Secret Skrull Invasion, one of the most influential people in America was Spider's old enemy, Norman Osborn, a former supervillain nicknamed the Green Goblin, and now director of M.O.L.O.T., leader of his own team of Avengers and pseudo-hero Iron Patriot. Osborn decided to make a hero out of his son too, making a lightweight model of armor for Harry. But Harry did not want to become dependent on his hated father. He almost killed Norman, but was stopped by Spider-Man.

Shed

For quite a long time, Dr. Curt Connors managed to control himself and not turn into the Lizard. But at some point the disease turned out to be stronger than him. The personalities of Connors and the Lizard merged, forming a monstrous creature named Shed. The monster's body also underwent changes, and it became even stronger and more agile than the Lizard. In addition, he acquired the ability to telepathically influence people's consciousness.

Shad did what the old Lizard would never have done - he killed Billy Connors, Kurt's son. After this, he encountered Spider-Man and used his psionic powers for the first time: he tried to destroy the “monkey” (in his own words) component of Peter’s mind, so that only the mind of the lizard remained, which would primarily obey base animal instincts and the rule of the strong. Fortunately, Spider was able to resist this influence, but then Shed began to make numerous New Yorkers think this way. Chaos began on the streets.

In a difficult battle, Spider-Man defeated Shed and freed people from his influence. But some felt that the primitive instincts and the rule of the strong, proposed by the monster, were much fairer than the sanctimonious human laws. Together with Shed, they descended into the New York sewers and still live somewhere there.

Age of Heroes and the Deadly Hunt

After the Siege of Asgard, Spider-Man was finally recognized as a hero again. He joined the Avengers and New Avengers teams, and his popularity grew steadily. However, not everyone is happy about this.

The Kravinov family (the wife and children of Sergei Kravinov, the first Kraven the Hunter) decided to bring the deceased head of the family back to life. They began to catch all the people with spider abilities in order to sacrifice them. When Peter Kane's clone ( Kaine) warned him about this, Madame Web had already been caught ( Madame Web), Arachne, Arana and Spider-Woman/Mattie Franklin. Finally, Spider-Man was caught (he was lured into a trap by the Chameleon, who pretended to be Ezekiel risen from the dead).

To bring Kraven back to life, the ritual murder of Spider and Mattie Franklin was enough. However, Kraven, who rose from the dead, was not at all happy about his revival: he turned into a living corpse (though not decomposing). It turned out that the sacrificed Spider was not real: Kane stunned Peter and replaced him in the suit.

Enraged, Sasha Kravinova (Sergei's wife) inflicted a mortal wound on Madame Web. She died, leaving her gift of clairvoyance as a legacy to Julia Carpenter, Arachne. The real Spider-Man arrived at the Kravinov estate. He was incredibly angry about the death of his friends and was ready to kill Kraven, but he was stopped by Arachne, who showed him an alternative future in which Peter began killing enemies and turned into a real monster.

The defeated Kravinovs went to the Savage Land, where they are still located. Peter buried Mattie Franklin, Madame Web, and Kane. On the latter’s grave it is written: “Kane Parker. Brother."

One moment in time

Mary Jane came to Peter, and together they recalled the details of the deal with Mephistopheles. At the end of the conversation, Mary Jane kissed Peter and said that if they were not destined to be together, then he should not think only about her, because then he might not notice the true love of his life. They broke up, promising not to interfere in each other's lives anymore.

Personality

After the death of Uncle Ben, Peter Parker's sense of responsibility became greatly exacerbated. Often he needlessly blames himself for something to which he has practically nothing to do. For example, he felt guilty that Electro, one of “his” villains, staged an escape from the Raft prison. However, in moments of threat to someone's life, Peter does not at all look like such a depressed whiner and maintains his common sense and wit.

Reputation

Spider-Man has gained immense fame among other superheroes, villains and civilians alike. As was once noted, half of Earth-616 loves Spider, the other half hates him, but everyone talks about him. Aunt May once read on the Internet that Peter had saved the lives of more than 10,000 people, not counting bomb defuses and feats performed together with other heroes.

Among villains, Spider-Man has a very special attitude. When in the Bar Without a Name ( Bar with No Name) bets were accepted on Spider's victory in the next battle; many villains claimed that Verkholaz always defeats newcomers. And when Kolpak ( Hood ) was just starting his career, one of the villains laughed at him, saying: “You haven’t even fought Spider-Man yet.”

Powers and abilities

Powers

Initial (aka current) forces:

• Spider Sense: Spider-Man has a psychic sense that warns him of danger in advance by a tingling sensation in the back of his skull. This allows him to avoid most injuries. Unfortunately, sometimes Peter's strong emotions prevent him from recognizing the signals of his Spider-Sense. The nature of Sense is unknown: Ezekiel Sims called it mystical, and there are no reasonable scientific explanations. Signals can come both directly at the moment of danger, and minutes and even hours beforehim. The stronger the threat, the sooner Peter learns about it. The scent does not give an idea of ​​the nature of the threat, but it indicates the exact direction from which it comes. Sudden and very dangerous circumstances can lead to a painful reaction of the Flair. Peter's sixth sense works even when he is unconscious or asleep. It warns him of everything he considers dangerous. In particular, he reacts to the presence of observers or cameras that can record Pete dressing up as Spider, but does not react to Aunt May, even if she is about to find out about her nephew's secret. Spider-Man has become so adept at reading his ESP signals that even when his opponents blind him, he can continue fighting using his Spider-Sense.
• Reception of radio signals: Spider Sense picks up radio waves of a certain frequency. Taking advantage of this property, Peter designed Spider Radio Beacons ( Spider Tracers), emitting signals at this frequency. It uses radio beacons to track someone.
• Climbing walls: One of the changes in Peter's body after the spider bite occurred in the cerebellum. Now he can mentally control the attraction between atoms using electrostatic forces. This breaks the boundary between the surfaces of touching objects at the subatomic level. Simply put, the diffusion of several upper layers of atoms of different objects occurs. It is not yet known how Spider-Man's mind can influence the behavior of atoms. Until now, the ability to change the strength of their attraction to each other was limited to controlling the attraction between objects and Peter's body (mainly his hands and feet). With this ability, he can hold a load weighing several tons "docked" to his fingers.
• Superhuman Strength: The special structure of his muscles allows Spider-Man to lift loads weighing up to ten tons. In combat, he is forced to hold back his blows (unless he is fighting someone equal or superior to him in endurance). Otherwise, his blows would be fatal to a person without superpowers. He has demonstrated that he is strong enough to knock out a person with a simple slap to the head. Also during the Secret Invasion, in a battle in the Savage Land, he defeated a Tyrannosaurus rex with one blow. Of course, Spider's physical strength extends to his legs, allowing him to make huge leaps. On the day he was bitten by the Spider, Peter almost got hit by a car, but was saved by jumping about ten meters vertically into the air (this is how he discovered his abilities). It should be noted that at that moment his powers had not yet developed to their full potential.
• Superhuman Speed: Spider-Man is capable of running and moving at speeds many times faster than even the most trained person can achieve. He has shown that he can easily outrun a car on foot, but prefers to travel on a web.
• Superhuman Durability: Peter's enhanced musculature produces fatigue toxins much more slowly than a normal human's. This allows him to perform at the peak of his powers for long hours. His breathing apparatus is also greatly improved: he is almost never seen out of breath, and Spider is able to hold his breath for more than eight minutes.
• Superhuman Stamina: Spider-Man's body is significantly more resistant to various injuries than that of other people. He is able to survive impacts that would seriously injure or kill a normal human with virtually no discomfort. If Spider flexes his super-strong muscles, a non-superpowered person can do almost no harm to him with their bare hands. Peter himself said that he tries to dodge blows from opponents who do not have at least the same strength and endurance, otherwise they may dislocate or break their wrist.
• Superhuman Agility: Parker's agility, balance, and coordination go far beyond human capabilities. Its connective tissues and tendons are approximately twice as flexible and mobile, but also stronger. Spider can break any Olympic record for exercises on gymnastic apparatus such as rings, parallel bars, etc.
• Superhuman sense of balance: Spider-Man can maintain his balance in any position imaginable and on any support, even the smallest and narrowest.
• Superhuman Reflexes: the speed of all conditioned and unconditioned reflexes of Peter is approximately forty times higher than that of an ordinary person. Combined with his Spider-Sense, they allow him to dodge almost any attack. In some cases, Spider-Man has been shown dodging bullets using just his reflexes, without using his Senses at all.
• Regenerative Healing Factor: While Spidey's regeneration is not as noticeable as Wolverine's or Deadpool's, it is powerful enough to recover from severe injuries, fractures, and extensive tissue damage in a surprisingly short time. Once he gained his power, he soon found that his poor eyesight improved, eliminating the need to wear glasses. During a battle with a villain named Masked Marauder, Spider-Man was completely blinded, but after two days he could see everything perfectly (although his eyes were easily irritated for another whole day). Its accelerated metabolism provides the highest resistance to drugs: the effect of even the largest doses quickly wears off without causing addiction. During a meeting with Roy ( Swarm) Peter received thousands of bee stings, but was completely fine the next day. His resistance and recovery rate from other toxins and diseases varies, but is generally significantly higher than that of normal humans. Spider-Man was able to fully restore his eyes, which were damaged by the acid spat in his face by the new Vulture, although the extent of the damage may have been less than he first thought.
• Protected identity: Thanks to the magic of Doctor Strange, no one can accidentally or intentionally find out the secret identity of Spider-Man unless Peter himself wants it. Any evidence that Spidey is Peter Parker (even direct evidence in Civil War-era media) is either incomprehensible to people or leads to incorrect conclusions. It is possible to find out who is hiding under the mask only if Peter himself tells it.

Lost powers:

The mutation after meeting the Queen gave the Spider the following powers:

• Enhanced Strength: Now the maximum weight of the load that he could lift was not 10, but 15 tons.
• Telepathic communication with arthropods: The developed Spider-Sense helped to communicate with spiders and insects, using them as a remote source of information, and even control their behavior. One day, the spiders voluntarily hid the unconscious Spider-Man from the Tent, and thus saved him.
• Biological/organic web production: Glands appeared on Peter's wrists that could produce and release webs. This web had almost the same properties as those released from containers, only it disintegrated not in two hours, but in a week.

After death and rebirth, Peter's powers increased again:

• Even more increased strength: The new limit for lifting mass was 20 tons.
• Enhanced agility, endurance, speed and reaction: In the fight with Mysterio, Spider noted a significant improvement in all these indicators.
• Enhanced Spider-Sense: Peter was able to perceive everything that was happening around him, not just sources of danger.
• Night vision: Spider-Man learned to see in the dark in the presence of at least the weakest light source.
• Feeling the vibration and air flow through hair and cobwebs: This ability allowed him to find a way out from under the rubble of a collapsed building.
• Improved Healing Factor: Recovery from any damage to the body began to occur several times faster.
• Healing in "sleep mode": This is exactly how his rebirth happened: Peter entered an unconscious state, formed a cocoon, hibernated, was healed and received new powers. His mysterious “illness” and short-term loss of superpowers were the body’s first attempts to enter this state. It is unknown whether Peter can repeat this at least one more time.
• Stings:Spider-Man's wrists were equipped with sharp, retractable stingers. They released a polyamine poison that could paralyze an adult for several hours. And for the almost invulnerable Morlun, wounds from these stings turned out to be fatal.

Capabilities

• Unbending willpower: For many years Peter led double life full of losses and defeats, but this did not break him, and from short moments of weakness he emerged even more strong man. His will was strong enough to resist the attempts of Venom, and later the nanorobots of Doctor Octopus and the telepathy of Shed, to subjugate his mind.

Until relatively recently, it was impossible to imagine that Spider-Man, the most popular comic book hero of the Marvel studio, appeared in the films of the Marvel film cycle. After all, before launching this series, Marvel sold the rights to release films about Peter Parker to Sony, and the latter clearly did not want to let go of this tasty jackpot. However, Marvel and Sony were able to come to an agreement, and now Spider-Man not only fought with the Avengers in the “group” Marvel blockbuster Captain America: Civil War, but also crossed paths with Iron Man in his new “solo” film Spider-Man: Homecoming " On what terms did the studios agree and how will the on-screen life of the Avenger in the Web develop further? This is worth looking into.

Marvel Studios and its Hollywood partners have been trying to release a live-action Spider-Man film since the early 1980s. At that time, there was no talk of any Marvel film series, and money for the project was sought from external sponsors. Marvel did not have its own funds for film production. On the contrary, the studio hoped that the sale of rights and royalties would keep it afloat in a difficult financial situation.

At the time, Marvel was willing to work with anyone who showed interest in the characters. The studio was lucky that when the sold rights to Spider-Man did turn into a full-length film, it was not a low-grade and cheap craft, but a Sony blockbuster created by the master of genre cinema Sam Raimi. The 2002 film cost a hefty $139 million and grossed a whopping $822 million, making it the most commercially successful comic book film to date. Spider-Man creators Stan Lee and Steve Ditko may have been pleased with how Hollywood treated their creation.

Marvel Studios might be pleased too. But she wanted more - complete control over films based on her comics. And it gained that control when it launched the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the late 2000s and was subsequently taken over by Walt Disney, giving it access to vast Hollywood resources.

However, the changes at Marvel did not change the situation with the rights to Spider-Man (nor the situation with the rights to the X-Men). Sony continued to make films about this hero and rebooted the epic in 2012, releasing The Amazing Spider-Man directed by Marc Webb. It was almost as successful as Raimi's first "spider" film - $758 million in box office receipts against a budget of $230 million. So Sony had no reason to give up its film rights. Unlike, for example, the Fox studio, which abandoned Daredevil (which allowed Marvel to release a television series about a blind hero).

It turned out to be extremely disappointing: Marvel is actively developing its film world, gathering more and more popular characters into the frame, but cannot bring to the screen the most beloved superhero in the history of the studio. It was as absurd as DC Comics and Warner not being able to make Batman and Superman movies. Comic book fans were as upset as Marvel bosses. How can it be that the Avengers headquarters are located in New York, but the supergroup does not overlap with New York's most famous superhero?!

Fortunately for Marvel and its fans, Sony's The Amazing Spider-Man: High Voltage, released in 2014, was not as successful in all respects as Webb's previous comic strip. On the contrary, Marvel released very successful films that year “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” and “Guardians of the Galaxy”, and Sony had reason to seriously think about the fact that it is better to cooperate with the rapidly developing Marvel Studios than to compete with it.

Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige took advantage of this to offer the then head of Sony Pictures Entertainment, Amy Pascal, a mutually beneficial agreement - as simple and understandable as possible from a financial point of view. Let Marvel release “solo” films about Spider-Man and include them in its cinematic universe (that is, involve superheroes like Iron Man in them). Sony studio will pay for these films, distribute them and receive all the profits. At the same time, Marvel will be able to use Spider-Man as an auxiliary character in films about other heroes, and such films will be the complete financial prerogative of Marvel and Walt Disney. Simply put, Marvel gets nothing for films like Spider-Man: Homecoming, and Sony gets nothing for films like Captain America: Civil War.

What is the point of such an agreement? In commercial synergy - in the mutual promotion of Marvel and Sony films. After all, now viewers need to watch both films in order to keep track of all the plot intrigues. Thus, Homecoming takes place shortly after the end of Civil War, and the films are closely connected plot-wise. That's why you need to watch both of them. What's also important is that Marvel writers now have greater freedom in combining famous characters, and they can bring to the screen storylines from the comics that were previously not available to them.

At the same time, however, it turns out that Marvel crushed all the creative work under itself, and Sony was content with the role of a purse that only pays for the “solo” films about Spider-Man and counts the profits. Is it possible that Columbia Pictures (remember that Sony has owned this brand since 1989) no longer presents itself as a creator of comic films? No, he still does. Because it's not that simple.

Screen rights to comics about Spider-Man are rights not only to the superhero himself, but also to everyone around him. Companions, opponents, ambiguous acquaintances... Together with Peter Parker, Sony bought a whole regiment of characters. And now the studio, without the help of the creators of the Marvel movie world, is preparing to bring some of these heroes to the screen. They won't appear in Marvel films, but they may feature Tom Holland's Spider-Man (the current on-screen Spidey) and his successors.

In other words, Sony is preparing its own comic book universe, the main action of which will develop in the same fictional world as the world of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Although it is also possible to involve other worlds. Many fans, for example, would not mind seeing a film about Spider-Gwen - a film adaptation of popular “alternative” comics, in which it is not Peter Parker who becomes a superhero, but his girlfriend Gwen Stacy (we know her from “The Amazing Spider-Man”). It's clear that Spider-Gwen can't live in the same universe as Spider-Man. But they can intersect, because in the world of Marvel, traveling between parallel universes is a common and even everyday thing.

True, observers are still looking at these plans with skepticism. How interesting will the 2018 film about Venom (the alien villain of Spider-Man 3: Enemy in the Reflection) be released if Spider-Man is not the main character and if it is not a fact that he will appear there at all? Venom has a following as a comic book character, but is there enough of it to make the film a hit? The film about the Black Cat and the Silver Sable (in Russian, “Silver Marten” sounds better) is also arousing somewhat greater enthusiasm, since this is a movie about two super-beauties. But again, will they pull out the picture without the strong support of Spider-Man and without the support of the heroes of the Marvel Cinematic Universe at all?

However, “Guardians of the Galaxy” did without the appearances of Thor, Iron Man and other Avengers, and the relatively low popularity of the comic book did not prevent the film from becoming a big hit. So there are prospects for Sony’s plans, and we are waiting with interest for more detailed information about the studio’s films. Well, for now we have the newest Spider-Man, and it definitely benefits from the small but significant presence of Tony Stark. Marvel is back on top, and Sony has to capitalize on it.

Despite the fact that Spider-Man made his debut on the pages of comic books more than 50 years ago, his first appearance in a big movie took place relatively recently - in 2002.

Peter Parker skillfully combines superhero activities with his everyday responsibilities: despite all the difficulties of heroism, he succeeds both in his studies and personal relationships. But the relatively calm life of the protagonist ends when he acquires an alien black suit, which increases his strength and agility. Unfortunately, the new thing not only made him stronger, but also clouded his mind, releasing the most dark sides his character...
