..son of S.H.I.E.L.D agents Richard and Mary Parker
..orphaned at infancy, he is raised by his Uncle Ben and Aunt May Parker
..grew up in the Forest Hills neighborhood of Queens, New York
..during high school years, he attended a science exhibition where he is bitten by a radioactive spider, causing in him a genetic mutation that granted him spider-like powers
..soon after discovery, he tried to capitalize on his extraordinary physical abilities by becoming a professional wrestler
..following his mercenary intentions, he unwittingly indirectly facilitated the murder of his Uncle Ben Parker when he witnessed a burglary and did nothing to stop the criminal from escaping. The same criminal would later kill his Uncle Ben Parker
..guilt-ridden and perennially reminded of his Uncle's sage remonstrance: "With great power comes great responsibility", he re-asserts his secret identity toward crimefighting and lifesaving, thereby abandoning his earlier philosophy of self-enrichment
..with the absence of his Uncle Ben Parker, he has taken up freelance work as a photographer for the Daily Bugle, a major newspaper owned by J. Jonah Jameson, mostly selling photos of Spider-Man in action
