~ Spider-Man to Miles about how he feels that the Symbiote Suit makes him stronger. |
Peter Benjamin Parker, better known as Spider-Man, is the titular main protagonist of Insomniac‘s action-adventure superhero video game series of the same name and a titular minor character in Sony Pictures Animation's 24th full-length feature film Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
He is a 23 year-old (later 25) college graduate and research assistant from New York City who dwelled in the double life, fighting out-coming crime using his spider-like superhuman abilities and web gadgets of his own design. Peter gained his spider powers after being bitten by a radiation-infused spider at the age of 15.
Employing a secret identity, he settled on using his newly developed superpowers to protect the citizens of New York City as the superhero Spider-Man. Eight years into his superhero career, Peter has become an experienced and masterful crime fighter, but struggles to balance his superhero and personal lives. He is aided in his crime-fighting by his girlfriend Mary Jane Watson, who is also an intrepid Daily Bugle reporter, NYPD Captain Yuri Watanabe, and his protégé Miles Morales.
In his civilian life, Peter is supported by his Aunt May, and is employed by his friend and mentor, the respected scientist Dr. Otto Octavius.
He is voiced by Yuri Lowenthal (who also voiced his Marvel Rivals counterpart, Ben Tennyson in Ben 10: Alien Force, Ben 10: Ultimate Alien, and Ben 10: Omniverse, Simon in Gurren Lagann, Alucard in Castlevania series, Mercury Black in RWBY, Prince of Persia in Sands of Time, The Two Thrones and The Forgotten Sands, Frodo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings: Conquest and The Lord of the Rings: War in the North, while John Bubniak and Ben Jordan portrayed him through motion-capture. In the Japanese version of the game, he is voiced by Kazuyuki Okitsu, who also voiced Jonathan Joestar in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series.
Personality[]
“ | I trust you, Spider-Man. You're the only one trying to do the right thing. Please: Protect the city from our mistakes. | „ |
~ Dr. Morgan Michaels to Spider-Man after Collusion Course. |
Peter lives his whole life by the creed "With great power, there must also come great responsibility." As such, he always tries using his powers for the greater good, sacrificing his mental and physical health, his personal life and relationships for the citizens of New York and the world at large. Possessing high moral values frequently puts him at odd against other super-powered beings, who are intent on using their gifts for malevolent and selfish reasons as opposed to Spider-Man's heroic and selfless nature.
An extremely prominent trait of Spider-Man is his sense of humor which he uses as a defense mechanism to overcome emotional scenarios in his life or when he's in dangerous situations. Over the years, this has tended to agitate his opponents and cause them to be beside themselves, which therefore makes them more susceptible to attack and oblivious to their impeding demise; it is debatable whether Spider-Man's greatest offensive weapon is his wisecracking nature.
His rapier wit and fast talking quipping also allows him to diffuse the tension present in his numerous missions as well as maintain the calmness of citizens, instead of escalating their panic. His humor is not limited to his opponents, but also extends to his allies, to the point that he can either annoy them amusingly or just borderline frustrate them, such as by his recurring "Spider-Cop" joke he keeps bringing up with Yuri Watanabe, which often prompts her to hang up on him during their many conversations. He is, however, accused of being "insolent" by the Kingpin, and his wit could be more cutting to those whom he personally dislikes.
“ | ..'A hero's just someone who doesn't give up.' Your dad said that. He was right. Now, it's your turn. Go be a hero, Miles. | „ |
~ Peter to Miles in Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales. |
However, despite his upbeat attitude in the face of adversity, Peter never adopts an arrogant or callous attitude, and is exceedingly compassionate to those whom he loves as well as those who deserve it. He caringly plans a spontaneous party at F.E.A.S.T in dedication to his Aunt May's selfless work and tells her that he wished there were more people like her in the world, as a result of her generous and altruistic character. Furthermore, Peter is perfectly prepared to put Mary Jane's best interests first, by constantly worrying about her safety, perhaps to a fault, which ultimately led to their breakup six month prior. He is exceptionally sympathetic towards the loss of Miles Morales' father, Officer Davis, reminiscent of the loss of his own Uncle Ben and feeling immense guilt for being unable to prevent the former's unfortunate death, thereby encouraging the youth to join F.E.A.S.T in the hopes of empowering him. Peter saw himself in the young Miles, and they soon developed a brotherly bond with one another, which only got stronger after Miles acquired Spider powers of his own. Peter then took him under his wing and trained him to in the ways of being Spider-Man. As a mentor, Peter is patient and nurturing with his teachings. He understands that Miles is bound to make mistakes just like he did, and gently encourages him to find his own path as a Spider-Man. The two share a lighthearted banter together even on the battlefield, akin to siblings.
Peter is also an exceptionally loyal and faithful individual, especially to those close to him. The most supreme display of his allegiance and loyalty are directed to the people of New York, as he devotes the entire essence of his being for their particular safety and welfare, caring unconditionally for them all. However, not all of them see eye to eye with him on his vigilantism, a prime example of this being J. Jonah Jameson, who is infamous for publicly defaming, slandering and smearing Spider-Man's reputation.
However, when bonded with the Venom symbiote, Peter had his personality altered. He became arrogant, aggressive, vindictive, cruel, cold and even more sarcastic. Peter still made jokes, but they were aggressive and sadistic. This personality shift was Peter’s subconscious and hidden desires coming out to the forefront thanks to the Symbiote, as it corresponded to his desire to “be a better Spider-Man”, but the end result was a hero who was efficient at his work yet had his morals getting twisted every second he was bonded to the alien. With the hardships and perceived failures he kept facing in his life, Peter built up a large amount of self loathing within himself and wanted to attain even greater power to become a better hero. The Venom symbiote presented itself as a remedy to his problems, but he found it overwhelmingly addictive. Despite becoming more brutal whilst bonded to the symbiote, Peter still refrained from killing for the most part, showing that he still held on to his humanity and had some degree of resistance to the Symbiote’s influence. However, during his battle with Kraven, Peter was ready to murder him due to his hatred of the villain and the villain's heinous actions, and would have went through with it had it not been for Miles’ intervention.
With Miles' help, Peter removed the symbiote and was very ashamed of his behavior. He truly knew then how too much power can corrupt, and sought to make amends with the people he disregarded and degraded, such as MJ and Rio Morales.
When Harry re-bonded with Venom and started terrorising New York, Peter fell into a low point emotionally, wracked with guilt on how Harry’s turn to the dark side is his own fault. When Miles and Martin Li helped Peter unlock his Anti-Venom suit, Peter went back to his old cheery self, even more determined to stop Venom and rid the city of the Symbiote invasion, now that he has the power to go toe-to-toe with Venom. Despite stopping the invasion and destroying the symbiotes, Peter still felt some guilt over not being able to completely save Harry. However, he learned the true meaning of balance and still decided to keep moving forward and take a break from being Spider-Man, and focus on his life as Peter Parker. He then entrusted Miles to keep watch over the city in his stead, confident that his protégé is more than ready to keep watch over the city as his own Spider-Man.
Powers and Abilities[]
Powers[]
“ | If you know all my moves, then you know I’m gonna wreck you! | „ |
~ Spider-Man before fighting Taskmaster for the second time. |
Spider Physiology: After getting bitten by a radiation-infused spider, Peter Parker attained the proportionate powers and capabilities of a spider. The bite initiated a complex and sophisticated body-wide metamorphosis deriving from the mutagenic enzymes of the radiation-inculcated spider, altering his physiology and consequently granting him superhuman abilities and newfound heightened senses. In subsequent years, it seems that Peter has grown more accustomed to his powers with a higher level of comprehension and effective utilization than prior years.
- Superhuman Strength: Following the spider bite, Peter acquired considerable superhuman strength, superior to that of even the brawniest human, thereby enabling him to accomplish spectacular feats such as terminating car chases in numerous occasions by casually throwing the rampaging automobile up a few feet off the ground and then catching it almost effortlessly after dispatching the hostiles operating it. His strength was also more than sufficient enough to throw him head-on against the formidable and overwhelming burliness of Wilson Fisk. Notably, as seen in the mission The Main Event, Spider-Man's raw strength empowers him to successfully lift a portion of concrete roof to save the civilians trapped underneath. Other impressive feats of his strength include, pulling back the entire structure of a collapsing construction crane; taking down average criminals with one punch; easily yanking multiple turrets off their support pillars and hurling them around with only a single strand of web attached; prying open tightly shut, metal doors with ease and exchanging blows with the indomitable Dr Octopus. Although Spider-Man's bio states that he can lift up to 10 tons, he has demonstrated to be competent enough to press lift way more than that, as he was able to snag the rear of a falling semi-trailer truck and slowly pull it back up onto the road platform with his webbing before it could collapse onto the train track underneath.
- Superhuman Endurance: Due to the massively augmented density and solidity of his musculature fibers, tissues and his skeleton, Peter's anatomy is significantly more resilient and durable against most types of injury compared to a normal human. As a result, this has allowed him to withstand vigorous amounts of impact from the powerful blasts of electric shock generated and released from Herman Schultz's specialized gauntlets to blows from the combined might of the Sinister Six. Spider-Man's toughened flesh has also permitted him to endure collisions that would otherwise pulverize an average human, like the smashing impact from a construction crane hook which sent him soaring, briefly incapacitated before fully regaining conscious quickly only seconds later.
- Superhuman Speed: Spider-Man's physique is highly adapted to the rigors of high speed running. His cardiovascular and respiratory systems are many more times efficient than those of an average healthy human being as he metabolizes a higher content of caloric energy. In fact, the chemical processes of his musculature are so highly advanced that his body does not generate fatigue poisons like lactic acid to accumulate in his muscle tissues so they can keep contracting more efficiently for 34 hours on end without hindrance. Therefore, Spider-Man has demonstrated to be more than quick enough to catch up to accelerating automobiles and bullets on foot (although his preference is inclined to web slinging), run up tall buildings in a matter of seconds, and move faster than the naked eye can follow, even appearing, disappearing and reappearing as a blur. Spider-Man was also able to easily outrun Rhino, charging at full speed.
- Superhuman Agility: Spider-Man's agility, balance and bodily coordination are all enhanced to high levels way beyond the peak of human potential. His bones, muscles and joints are twice as elastic than the average human which, combined with his great strength, allows him to jump great distances and heights and perform graceful acrobatic maneuvers with no difficulty whatsoever.
- Superhuman Reflexes: Thanks to his inhuman agility and speed, Peter's reflexes are similarly augmented 50 times greater than the average human. He has shown to be able to react to projectiles such as bullets and missiles with ease and dodge attacks from superhuman individuals such as Scorpion.
- Superhuman Equilibrium: Spider-Man possesses a rapidly magnified sense of physiological balance, refining his equipoise and stability. He is able to achieve a state of balance on virtually any point, no matter how small or unstable with incredible ease and masterful adjustment.
- Superhuman Stamina: Spider-Man's physiology allows him to go for days without food or sleep. He can exert himself to his peak performance for up to a day, before the fatigue toxins in his muscles begin to mar and impair him.
- Regenerative Healing Factor: Spider-Man's enhanced physiology has a rapid regenerative factor. Spider-Man regenerated his eyesight upon getting his powers. When his body is breached, his outer layer forms a wound epidermis that releases growth factors to stimulate nearby cells. His body is able to reprogram fibroblasts, which are crucial to revitalization, to become "blastema", a ball of stem cells, which are in turn capable of dividing and differentiating to give regeneration to skin, bones, blood vessels, etc. Spider-Man's healing capabilities are accelerated thanks in large to his incredible control of his oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. As a result, his mutate genes can speed up the activity of his oncogenes to accelerate the regeneration process after temporarily deactivating his tumor suppressor genes, permitting him to rapidly heal most wounds in a couple of hours. After suffering multiple scars and bruises to his face and being impaled by Doctor Octopus, Peter was able to rapidly heal throughout the following the following days. He was also able to quickly recover fourteen broken bones while simultaneously fighting crime and recover from it next day. He has even healed from crippling injuries such as being slashed open by the Kingpin using a katana, although he did require medical attention, and healed a broken leg from Tombstone, He has also healed from being ejected with the Scorpion's neurotoxin. He also possesses an extraordinary immune system, as he is able to tolerate Scorpion's newly enhanced hallucinogenic neurotoxin for an extraordinary amount of time before it does any permanent damage. However, for some unknown reason in the second game, he wasn't able to heal his stab wound inflicted by Kraven.
- Wall-Crawling: Spider-Man is capable of walking on walls and hanging from ceilings with the help of micro-/nano-scale hierarchical fibrils (setae) situated all across his epidermis. As this unique fibrillar feature of his dermis allows him to develop an intimate contact with the substrate that he is walking on or clinging to, it is expected that the setae exchange significant numbers of electric charges with the contacted substrate via the contact electrification (CE) phenomenon. More importantly, it is the CE-driven electrostatic attractions which dictate the strength of Spider-Man's adhesion. These CE-driven electrostatic attractions are mentally controlled by his mutagenic altered cerebellum, which affects his engrams and therefore initiates the capacity of manipulating the flux of his CE-driven electrostatic attractions between various molecular boundary levels. As an advantageous result, in the intimate contact of seta-substrate, eliminating CE-generated electrostatic forces by air ionization is physically impractical, simply because air ions cannot penetrate the conscious controlled contact interface in order to dissipate surface charges, or in simpler terms it is nearly impossible to prevent Spider-Man from adhering to surfaces. These setae, however, are more densely concentrated in his fingers and feet which therefore permit the prevalence of scaling a structure with his feet or hands effortlessly, even sprinting across New York's skyscrapers.
- Spider-Sense: Attributed as an extrasensory ability, the spider-sense refers to a precognitive ability to sense immediate danger, a kind of "sixth sense" ascribed to Spider-Man. The "spider-sense" is represented as a tingling sensation emanating from the base of Spider-Man's skull whilst simultaneously apprising him to personal danger in proportion to the severity of that danger. It thus implies some kind of intelligence, capable of parsing Spider-Man's surroundings, identifying and critically evaluating a potential threat at seemingly pre- or sub-conscious level operation and furnishing this information instantaneously to his conscious mind. However, both the temporal and spatial dimensions of his spider-sense are ambiguous, as it is represented alternately as functioning at close range and apparently within "normal" time, aiding Spider-Man to escape machine guns in combat, or avoid a police ambush and as working across immense distances. Provided with his extraordinary speed and wall-crawling, the spider-sense permits Spider-Man to evade all manner of spontaneous dangers by an evidently instinctual exercise of some uncanny reflex. In Don't Touch the Art, after Spider-Man recently subdued a couple of Inner Demons, he sensed someone coming his way, and without hesitating, immediatly went to hide. The connection between the spider-sense and his superhuman reflexes is such that his spider-sense can even trigger a reaction when Spider-Man is temporarily stunned, such as by how he is briefly immobilized by a construction crane hook in the mission Straw Meet Camel, only to promptly regain conscious and instinctively steady himself. Later his Spider-Sense helped him locate Mary Jane being held at gunpoint by Charles Standish. Furthermore, his spider-sense outwardly possesses a directional component and can guide him to or away from concealed or disguised danger and enemies. This is demonstrated in And the Award Goes to... by the spontaneous tingling of his spider-sense in a dense crowd, allowing him to anticipate Mister Negative's transformation, by slowly shifting his position to the direction of the event. Despite being an invaluable asset to his powers, he is still susceptible to attack, should he let himself be distracted or not have sufficient time to elude the attack.
- Radio Frequency Detection: While still in high school, Spider-Man's aptitude in science helped him to discover a way to track his villains using a device of his own design called the Spider-Tracer. A Spider-Tracer is a tiny electronic device that is programmed to emit a radio signal. His spider-sense is capable of picking up frequencies emitted by the Spider-Tracer and let it guide him to his object of interest. It will buzz louder the closer he gets to the tracer.
- Enhanced Vision: Spider-Man's vision has been amplified to superhuman levels (rectified by his regenerative healing capabilities), leading him to relinquish the use of his spectacles a long time ago. His field of vision has been augmented with impeccable clarity and infallible detail enabling him to effectively exploit the full extent of his web shooters to be a proficient marksman as well as notice things other people fail to observe.
Anti-Venom Symbiote Physiology: Even after getting rid of the Venom Symbiote, there were traces of it within his cells. After Martin Li infused his lightforce energy with the remnants of the Symbiote that were inside him, Peter was granted a new suit dubbed Anti-Venom, possessing the same powers as before with none of the drawbacks. Unlike his previous suit, Anti-Venom is not sentient and Peter is in full control of the Symbiote, as he claims to not “hear any of the voices”. One special trait of Anti-Venom is that Peter can vaporize symbiotes by simply touching them.
Former Powers[]
Symbiote Physiology: After nearly dying at the hands of Kraven, the Symbiote that was once attached to Harry, bonded with Peter in the form of a suit, restoring him back to optimal health and enhancing his abilities all the while giving him new ones. The suit, being an alien, is very much alive and it responds to Peter’s thoughts at the cost of amplifying his aggression and sadism to a terrifying degree. The new abilities the suit grants him include the ability to generate tendrils for offensive and defensive purposes and shapeshift into whatever clothes Peter needs. The most dangerous power Peter has with the suit is the ability to enter into a berserk mode called “Symbiote Surge”, thanks to the Symbiote’s corruptive influence. Peter’s strength, speed, durability and other abilities are increased tenfold than they were before at the cost of losing himself to a frenzy, barring him from distinguishing friend from foe.
Abilities[]
“ | I honestly never thought we'd get the tensile actuator back to an acceptable tolerance, but Parker...the boy has an eye for guerilla science like none other. Just as I was ready to order a custom machined replacement part, he returned from the hardware store with a bottle of solvent and a toothbrush. Bang: actuator problem resolved. The boy is a genius. | „ |
~ Otto's lab recording #1. |
- Genius-Level Intellect: For the most part of his life, Peter has always been an overzealous enthusiast of biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, computer science and engineering with his expertise viewed as virtually peerless by many. Indeed, his intelligence allowed him to be submitted as a lab scientist into Oscorp, one of the most highly sought famous scientifically advanced corporations in the world with their arrays of scientific pioneering always ahead of the curve. Dr. Octavius, who is a tremendous supergenius himself, has confidently remarked that Peter possesses an impressive intellect, his originality exceeding for graduates his age. Mary Jane has also stated that he is a brilliant scientist when Peter expresses a desire to become a chef. Furthermore, Peter possesses a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biophysics, with his thesis of neurotechnology earning him a job as a research assistant with Otto at Octavius Industries. He is also well-read and is capable of understanding extremely intricate and convoluted ideas, which no other graduate can possibly comprehend and is shown to be highly erudite and knowledgeable in multiple fields of the most foremost sciences such as nanotechnology, quantum theory and mechanics, cybernetics, robotics, forensics, genetics, prosthetics, applied science, neuroscience and technology. Although Peter possesses unparalleled and almost unrivaled intellect, he is surpassed by the extremely brilliant and astute Otto Octavius, his boss. Peter admits that during his first application interview with Otto, he felt as if he were incompetent and out of his league.
- Expert Inventor/Engineer: Ever since Spider-Man appeared to the public, he has been an extremely talented and prolific engineer. At the mere age of 15, he was able to design and create his first web shooters and Spider-Tracers, which were able to interface with his arachnid-like powers. His natural flair for applied science also enabled him to create various devices to help him in his crusade against crime, such as the "Vulture Jammer", which assisted him in defeating the Vulture during their first ever battle. Over the course of Marvel's Spider-Man, Peter invents various types of advanced spider-like gadgets to aid him in his operations, such as the Spider-Drone, Impact Web (with Otto's assistance), Electric Web, and numerous more. He is also able to design and produce multiple contingency suits with finesse and ease, each perpetuating its own unique ability.
- Hacking Intuition: Spider-Man is able to easily hack into Kingpin's server in mere moments, even mocking the lack of upgrades present in their security, notwithstanding the latter confidently and arrogantly proclaiming that it isn't possible. He is even able to hack into Oscorp and Norman Osborn's personal computer.
- Marksmanship: In conjunctive utilization with his enhanced vision, Spider-Man becomes a formidable and consummate marksman with meticulous precision and keen marking. Therefore, this has granted him a complete proficient mastery over his web shooters, validating him to prevent the stupendous collapse of the construction crane in Straw Meet Camel, by webbing up its individual sections, in mid-air, whilst simultaneously implementing this all in rapid succession.
- Skilled Investigator: Spider-Man is a highly skilled detective. He is able to investigate and discover the Devil's Breath despite it being a closely-guarded secret. He is even able to uncover evidence about Martin Li being the leader of the terrorist organization the Inner Demons.
- Skilled Photographer: Though he did not receive any formal education in photography, Peter has shown to be an adept photographer during his fleeting career with the Daily Bugle. He was able to produce a sustainable living for some years as an ace photographer, serving for the Daily Bugle's front line. Thanks to his superhuman capabilities, he can take pictures of crime scenes or objects of interest at any angle imaginable.
- Leadership Skills: Spider-Man has shown himself to be an exceptional and competent leader with eight years of heroism to back it up. He is able to inspire loyalty in Mary Jane and Miles Morales, who unquestioningly follow his orders during the New York crisis. Peter is also becomes a very highly beloved and efficient mentor to Miles after the latter received his spider powers, able to instill confidence and help him grow as his own new and young Spider-Man.
- Master Combatant/Martial artist: Spider-Man is an extremely accomplished and versatile martial artist, due to numerous years of extensive experience and brawling. Without receiving any standard training, he has secured his position as one of the most dangerous superhuman combatants in the world. Spider-Man incorporates a variety of martial art techniques such as capoeira, a dance-like fighting style that's perfectly represented in his fast, acrobatic moves that have him leaping all around his enemies before striking them. Peter also uses Parkour movements, a physical discipline in which practitioners to aim move quickly and efficiently using their bodies and the environment. Parkour can be thought of as the flight response where as a martial art could be considered a fight response. His whole fighting style is based around the form of martial arts with the hero staying low and mobile while utilizing the momentum of frequent spins to come crashing down on to his opponents. Spider-Man also owes a portion of his moves to professional wrestling as well, specifically to lucha libre, most likely deriving from his early days as a professional wrestler during his first public display of power (albeit still under a disguise). Several specific moves have also been noted in his fights, such as dropsaults, scissor takedowns, reverse frankensteiners, and the famous hurricanrana. It is part of his lucha libre combat style, that allows him to take down enemies even those who are several times his size while dispatching several enemies at once with high flying moves.
- Master Acrobat: Spider-Man's phenomenal agility makes him a very excellent athlete, as he can perform complicated gymnastic and acrobatic maneuvers that any human athlete can't do.
- Indomitable Will: Peter appears to possess an unbreakable and incorruptible spirit. During his eight years venturing as Spider-Man, he has continuously wrestled to balance his personal life and superhero duties, always emerging triumphant after defeat and horrendous loss (such as the death of his parents and his uncle). Traumatized by his uncle's death, he established a vow of responsibility that has taken him down a righteous and heroic road of humanitarian service despite the overwhelming trouble and calamity that it brought upon him. In addition, due to his selfless and heroic nature, he is able to overcome strong emotional attachments for the greater good by how he selflessly opts to have the Devil's Breath cure manufactured and distributed out wide and save more lives rather than use it on his dying Aunt May, the most important parental figure in his life. This is also shown in how Peter is able to resist Mister Negative's attempts to corrupt him. Similarly, while being corrupted by the symbiote which later called itself Venom, Peter eventually resisted its influence and, with Miles' assistance, removing it from his system.
Paraphernalia[]
Equipment[]
Peter has designed the majority of his own equipment for his time as Spider-Man, having built a wide array of web-influenced gadgets to aid him in combat against different opponents in different situations. He has access to eight such gadgets:
- Web Shooter: In addition to his spider-powers, Peter crafted a device capable of projecting web-fluids from his wrists. With his genius intellect, Parker equipped a mode where different types of webs can be switched for suitable situations.
- Impact Web: The Web shooters can blast an impact amount of webs causing enemies to be stuck against surfaces.
- Spider-Drone: Peter enables the web shooters to deploy mini spider drones assisted to attack targets.
- Electric Web: An advancement the web shooters can switch from web mode to electrical mode allowing them to shoot cables of electricity similar to a taser.
- Web Bomb: This mode allows his webs to throw a grenade/bomb like device that scatters web-fluids all over enemies.
- Trip Mine: For percussion the webs can be placed on edge or cornered surfaces where enemies and objects are pulled into each other by option.
- Concussive Blast: Upgraded aspect of the web shooters where Parker can emit seismic blasts that pushes targets from long range distance or brief concussion.
- Suspension Matrix: Secondary upgrade mode where the web shooters shoots a device capable of defying gravity to others levitating off the ground.

Trivia[]
- His media is NYCWallCrawler, and has 15.3 million fans.
- A running gag through the first game is on his cooking skills, notably messing up dumplings and almost burning down MJ's apartment. This almost happens again when he leaves the curry he was making for MJ unattended to talk with her, though it was delicious regardless according to her. As of the sequel, he is seen making perfectly made wheat cakes at the end of the game, implying that he's gotten better overtime.
- Spider-Man's voice actor, Yuri Lowenthal, has voiced other versions of the character, most notably in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order, and the upcoming Marvel Rivals.
- Peter mentions at the beginning of the game that he has three chest hairs. While seemingly a jest at first, if one looks closely after equipping the "Undies" suit, you can see the three strands of hair on his pecks.
- This is one of few incarnation of Peter Parker that has bonded and donned the Anti-Venom suit for the first time.
- His Anti-Venom suit resembled the Synthetic Symbiote suit from Marvel's Spider-Man animated series and the Future Foundation suit.
