Spider-Man (Universe 2009)

Peter Parker, also known as Spider-Man is a part of the Marvel Universe toyline and continuity family.

History
When he was 14 years old, Peter Parker was bitten by a spider that had been irradiated in a nuclear experiment. Something in the spider’s venom changed him, over night, from the nerdy kid he’d been to something else entirely. Given incredible strength, speed and stamina, he reveled in his power. The tragic death of his uncle threw Peter’s good fortune into fierce perspective, giving him direction. From that day on, he vowed to battle evil wherever he could find it as The Amazing Spider-Man.

He had a brief stint fighting crime with his friends Firestar and Iceman, all of whom met at Empire University College. Eventually the team broke up and Spider-Man went solo again, marrying his girlfriend Mary Jane Watson, and being promoted to head photographer at the Daily Bugle.

During the Secret Wars, a mystical entity known as the Beyonder trapped Spider-Man and a multitude of other heroes and villans, and had the two side battle. Spidey proved effictive in combat, defeating the entire X-Men team when they discussed leaving the Heroes side to join Magneto, who decided to be a neutral party. Later on "Battleworld" Spider-Man bonded with a black alien symbiote, gaining a new black suit that he could control with his mind. The suit later proved to be a symbiote called "Venom" trying to alienate him from the world to have Parker to itself, causing Spider-Man to rip off the alien and return to the red suit.

Years later, Fed up with being hunted and hounded by every criminal and S.H.I.E.L.D. agent in New York, Spider-Man went on the offensive. Putting on his old, black costume was a signal that he was through messing around. Any crook that wanted to mess with his family was going to get put down, and put down hard. Spider-Man's Black Suit was not the symbiote, as that was bieng worn by the villan Venom, but rather a black fabric suit made by Black Cat, whom S.H.I.E.L.D. belived could be used to learn more about Spider-Man's family and location, and staged an arrest attempt. Eventually Spider-Man's brutal war on crime ended, and Spider-Man returned with his Red Suit again and retaing his old personality.

At some point Magneto's daughter, the Scarlet Witch, twisted the fabric of the universe to make everyone's deepest desire to come true, ceating an "Ideal World". In this world Spider-Man is one of the biggest celebrities in the world. The friends and family he lost over the years have been restored to him. His life is free of all the tragedy to which he has become accustomed, except for this one: it is all a lie. He has everything he's ever wanted, but because he is who he is, he will give it all up to do what is right. Eventually the world was reverted to it's natural state.
