Peter Parker stands at 5'8" with a lean, muscular physique that is usually hidden behind a wardrobe of nerdy t-shirts, slacks, and comfortable thrift-store jackets and hoodies. His face is boyish and clean-shaven (though Peter himself has never had to shave a day in his life). His hair is brown, as are his eyes, which are large and expressive.Most of the time, Peter is extremely readable; he struggles hiding his emotions, and it's easy to tell -- even when he doesn't say a word -- when he's vibrating with excitement or feeling under-the-weather. Because of this, Peter comes across as extremely genuine, save for the moments when he's very badly (and very obviously) lying.
Unfortunately, being a good hero means sacrifice. Though once involved in a number of different extracurriculars (a testament to Peter's own broad set of interests), Peter was forced to drop them in lieu of his responsibilities as Spider-Man; likewise, his relationships have suffered as a result. He frequently comes across as flaky and irresponsible, because he can't provide others with a good excuse for the sudden absences and quick departures that are required of him to attend to Queens' criminal element. This bothers Peter, who truly wants to be seen as reliable; however, he accepts that there's nothing he can do about it without outing himself as Spider-Man.
As Spider-Man, Peter exhibits a quick wit that he doesn't often express as Peter Parker, Midtown Academy sophomore; he's more confident. When he dons the mask, it's almost as if Peter becomes the person he wants to be -- brave and unhesitating, ready to take on the world, no matter what the obstacle.
Though Peter takes his responsibilities as Spider-Man seriously, he's also still a teenager. He has no compunctions with arguing with adults, particularly those that he disagrees with; at those times, he's defensive, and has a hard time backing down. He'll find any way to justify him being right. He also believes that he should be taken seriously and treated like an adult, and will butt heads with anyone who wants to patronize him or treat him like a child.
When Peter was fourteen, he was bitten by a radioactive spider. At some point during his first six months as a superhero, he was indirectly responsible for the death of his uncle, Ben. This event shaped Peter's entire outlook on his personal responsibilities as a superhero: "When you can do the things that I can, but you don't, and then the bad things happen, they happen because of you."
Shortly afterwards, Peter was recruited by Tony Stark to fight in the Battle of Berlin and he gave him a suit he designed specifically for him. Peter was allowed to keep the suit and continued to patrol Queens as their own resident superhero.
While Peter had been reluctant to go international when he was recruited by Tony, he was galvanized by the battle there and was eager to prove himself to Tony and become a real Avenger. When he discovered that a group of criminals were using stolen alien tech to create weapons, Peter finally saw his chance. Tony, however, was less impressed with Peter taking what he saw as unnecessary risks. After Peter continued to go after the Vulture even after Tony ordered him not to, he took Peter's suit away. For awhile, Peter retired as Spider-Man and reverted to a normal student.
That changed when he picked up his date to Homecoming and discovered Liz's father was the Vulture. Peter tried to contact Tony, but was unable to reach him; he realized then that the Vulture's target was the plane that was being used to move the Avengers' gear to their new facility upstate. Peter saw no other choice but to go after the Vulture in his homemade suit and fought against the villain on the plane itself. When the plane crash-landed, Peter was repeatedly beaten down by the Vulture, but he still saved him when his mechanical wings exploded.
Tony returned the suit to Peter and offered him a position among the Avengers, which Peter rejected. Since then, Peter's continued his work as Queens' Neighborhood Friendly Spider-Man.
FRIENDS.
FANBOYING.
TEACHERS.
The abilities that Peter acquired after being bitten by the spider include Superhuman Strength, Superhuman Speed, Superhuman Durability, Superhuman Agility, Superhuman Equilibrium, Enhanced Vision, Spider-Sense, Wall-Crawling, and a Regenerative Healing Factor.
Peter is also a gifted student and he frequently uses his intelligence to aid in combat situations. He created his web-shooters and the highly-advanced and durable chemical compound he uses inside of them. He's also shown promise as a tactician, drawing from his extensive film knowledge to tackle enemies more powerful than he is.
In close quarters, Peter has developed his own combat style that leans heavily on improvisation and the clever use of his powers and web-shooters. Peter moves quickly and packs a powerful hit and when in top form, does so with considerable grace.
