...When he awoke, he discovered he'd grown four extra arms...
Real name : Peter Parker
Occupation : College student, part-time photographer.
Powers : The ability to walk and crawl on walls and other surfaces just like a spider. Although it has never been disclosed how this happens, Parker himself has theorised it is electric/magnetic in origin, Given that the villain Elektro was able to 'negate' this power seems to suggest this theory is correct. Spider-Man also possesses a 'Spider-Sense' to alert him when he is in danger, and the agility and speed of a Spider (Approximately 40 times faster than a human). He also has what he refers to as 'the proportional strength of a spider', in practice his strength is actually much more, The Web-Slinger is capable of lifting almost 10 tonnes. He can leap to a height of 3 storeys (around 30 feet). Shortly after gaining his incredible powers Parker designed a 'Multipolymer Compound', an adhesive fluid capable of imitating the effects of a spiders silk webbing. These can be used to 'incapacitate' opponent, swing across the city, make parachutes, safety nets, and flameproof shields. This webbing is fired from wrist mounted 'web-shooters' and can be fired up to 50 feet.
