Inside the collection
The History of Spider-Man
Peter Parker is a brilliant young science student from Queens who is raised by Aunt May and Uncle Ben. After gaining extraordinary abilities from a spider bite, a personal tragedy teaches Peter that having power also means accepting responsibility for how it is used.
That idea runs through the different movie adaptations even when the details of Peter’s origin, relationships and wider universe change. Each screen version keeps the tension between Peter Parker’s ordinary life and the responsibility of being Spider-Man.
How Peter Parker Became Spider-Man
Across the major versions, Peter gains superhuman strength and agility, the ability to cling to surfaces and a heightened danger sense commonly known as spider-sense. His web-slinging differs between adaptations: some versions use web-shooters Peter designs himself, while the Raimi films give him organic webs.
The films repeatedly return to sacrifice, identity and the consequences of Peter’s choices — the qualities that have allowed different generations of actors to make the character their own.
