Spider-Man is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer-editor Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko, he first appeared in the anthology comic book Amazing Fantasy #15 (August 1962) in the Silver Age of Comic Books. He has since been featured in films, television shows, novels, video games, and plays. Spider-Man is the alias of Peter Parker, an orphan raised by his Aunt May and Uncle Ben in New York City after his parents Richard and Mary Parker died in a plane crash. Lee and Ditko had the character deal with the struggles of adolescence and financial issues and gave him many supporting characters, such as Flash Thompson, J. Jonah Jameson, and Harry Osborn; romantic interests Gwen Stacy, Mary Jane Watson, and the Black Cat; and foes such as Doctor Octopus, the Green Goblin, and Venom. In his origin story, Spider-Man gets superhuman spider-powers and abilities from a bite from a radioactive spider; these include clinging to surfaces and ceilings, superhuman strength, speed, and agility, and detecting danger with his precognition ability called «spider-sense.» He also builds wrist-mounted «web-shooter» devices that shoot artificial spider-webs of his own design that were meant to be used for fighting his enemies and web-swinging across the city. After his personal tragedy of his late Uncle Ben, Peter began using his spider-powers to fight against crime as Spider-Man.

When Spider-Man first appeared in the early 1960s, teenagers in superhero comic books were usually relegated to the role of sidekick to the protagonist. The Spider-Man series broke ground by featuring Peter Parker, a high school student from Queens, New York, as Spider-Man’s secret identity, whose «self-obsessions with rejection, inadequacy, and loneliness» were issues to which young readers could relate.^[8] While Spider-Man had all the makings of a sidekick, unlike previous teen heroes such as Bucky and Robin, Spider-Man had no superhero mentor like Captain America and Batman; he thus had to learn for himself that «with great power comes great responsibility» — a line included in a text box in the final panel of the first Spider-Man story but later retroactively attributed to his guardian, his late Uncle Ben Parker.

Marvel has featured Spider-Man in several comic book series, the first and longest-lasting of which is The Amazing Spider-Man. Over the years, the Peter Parker character developed from a shy, nerdy New York City high school student to a troubled but outgoing college student, to a married high school teacher to, in the late 2000s, a single freelance photographer. In the 2000s, he joins the Avengers. Doctor Octopus also took on the identity for a story arc spanning 2012–2014, following a body swap plot in which Peter appears to die.^[9] Marvel has also published books featuring alternate versions of Spider-Man, including Spider-Man 2099, which features the adventures of Miguel O’Hara, the Spider-Man of the future; Ultimate Spider-Man, which features the adventures of a teenaged Peter Parker in an alternate universe; and Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man, which depicts the teenager Miles Morales, who takes up the mantle of Spider-Man after Ultimate Peter Parker’s supposed death. Miles later became a popular superhero in his own right and was brought into the mainstream continuity, where he sometimes works alongside Peter.

Spider-Man is one of the most popular and commercially successful superheroes.^[10] He has appeared in countless forms of media, including several animated TV series, a live-action television series, syndicated newspaper comic strips, and multiple series of films. The character was first portrayed in live-action by Danny Seagren in Spidey Super Stories, a The Electric Company skit which ran from 1974 to 1977.^[11] In films, Spider-Man has been portrayed by actors Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield,^[12] and in the Marvel Cinematic Universe by Tom Holland. He was voiced by Chris Pine and Jake Johnson in the animated film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018), with Johnson reprising the role in its sequel Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023). Reeve Carney starred originally as Spider-Man in the 2010 Broadway musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark.^[13] Spider-Man has been well-received as a superhero and comic book character, and he is often ranked as one of the most popular and iconic comic book characters of all time and one of the most popular characters in all fiction.

Publication history

Creation and development

Richard Wentworth a.k.a. the Spider in the pulp magazine The Spider. Stan Lee stated that it was the name of this character that inspired him to create a character that would become Spider-Man.^[14]

In 1962, with the success of the Fantastic Four, Marvel Comics editor and head writer Stan Lee was casting about for a new superhero idea. He said the idea for Spider-Man arose from a surge in teenage demand for comic books, and the desire to create a character with whom teens could identify.^[15]: 1 As with Fantastic Four, Lee saw Spider-Man as an opportunity to «get out of his system» what he felt was missing in comic books.^[16] In his autobiography, Lee cites the non-superhuman pulp magazine crime fighter the Spider as a great influence,^{[14]: 130 [17]} and in a multitude of print and video interviews, Lee stated he was further inspired by seeing a spider climb up a wall—adding in his autobiography that he has told that story so often he has become unsure of whether or not this is true.^{[note 1][page needed]} Besides the name, the Spider was wanted by both the law and the criminal underworld (a defining theme of Spider-Man’s early years), and had through years of ceaseless struggle developed a «sixth sense» which warns him of danger, the apparent inspiration for Spider-Man’s «spider-sense».^[17] Although at the time teenage superheroes were usually given names ending with «boy», Lee says he chose «Spider-Man» because he wanted the character to age as the series progressed, and felt the name «Spider-Boy» would have made the character sound inferior to other superheroes.^[18] He also decided to insert a hyphen in the name, as he felt it looked too similar to Superman, another superhero with a red and blue costume that starts with an «S» and ends with «man»^[19] (although artist Steve Ditko intended the character to have an orange and purple costume).^[20] At that time Lee had to get only the consent of Marvel publisher Martin Goodman for the character’s approval. In a 1986 interview, Lee described in detail his arguments to overcome Goodman’s objections.^{[note 2]} Goodman eventually agreed to a Spider-Man tryout in what Lee in numerous interviews recalled as what would be the final issue of the science-fiction and supernatural anthology series Amazing Adult Fantasy, which was renamed Amazing Fantasy for that single issue, #15 (cover-dated August 1962, on sale June 5, 1962).^[21] In particular, Lee stated that the fact that it had already been decided that Amazing Fantasy would be canceled after issue #15 was the only reason Goodman allowed him to use Spider-Man.^[18] While this was indeed the final issue, its editorial page anticipated the comic continuing and that «The Spiderman [sic] … will appear every month in Amazing.»^[21][22]

Regardless, Lee received Goodman’s approval for the name Spider-Man and the «ordinary teen» concept and approached artist Jack Kirby. As comics historian Greg Theakston recounts, Kirby told Lee about an unpublished character on which he had collaborated with Joe Simon in the 1950s, in which an orphaned boy living with an old couple finds a magic ring that granted him superhuman powers. Lee and Kirby «immediately sat down for a story conference», Theakston writes, and Lee afterward directed Kirby to flesh out the character and draw some pages.^[23] Steve Ditko would be the inker.^{[note 3]} When Kirby showed Lee the first six pages, Lee recalled, «I hated the way he was doing it! Not that he did it badly—it just wasn’t the character I wanted; it was too heroic».^[23]: 12 Lee turned to Ditko, who developed a visual style Lee found satisfactory. Ditko recalled:

One of the first things I did was to work up a costume. A vital, visual part of the character. I had to know how he looked … before I did any breakdowns. For example: A clinging power so he wouldn’t have hard shoes or boots, a hidden wrist-shooter versus a web gun and holster, etc. … I wasn’t sure Stan would like the idea of covering the character’s face but I did it because it hid an obviously boyish face. It would also add mystery to the character….^[24]

Although the interior artwork was by Ditko alone, Lee rejected Ditko’s cover art and commissioned Kirby to pencil a cover that Ditko inked.^[21] As Lee explained in 2010, «I think I had Jack sketch out a cover for it because I always had a lot of confidence in Jack’s covers.»^[25]

In an early recollection of the character’s creation, Ditko described his and Lee’s contributions in a mail interview with Gary Martin published in Comic Fan #2 (Summer 1965): «Stan Lee thought the name up. I did costume, web gimmick on wrist & spider signal.»^[26] At the time, Ditko shared a Manhattan studio with noted fetish artist Eric Stanton, an art-school classmate who, in a 1988 interview with Theakston, recalled that although his contribution to Spider-Man was «almost nil», he and Ditko had «worked on storyboards together and I added a few ideas. But the whole thing was created by Steve on his own… I think I added the business about the webs coming out of his hands.»^[23]: 14 Ditko claimed in a rare interview with Jonathan Ross that the costume was initially envisioned with an orange and purple color scheme rather than the more famous red and blue.^[27]

Amazing Fantasy #15 (Aug. 1962) first introduced the character. It was a gateway to commercial success for the superhero and inspired the launch of The Amazing Spider-Man comic book. Cover art by penciller Jack Kirby and inker Steve Ditko

Kirby disputed Lee’s version of the story and claimed Lee had minimal involvement in the character’s creation. According to Kirby, the idea for Spider-Man had originated with Kirby and Joe Simon, who in the 1950s had developed a character called the Silver Spider for the Crestwood Publications comic Black Magic, who was subsequently not used.^{[note 4]} Simon, in his 1990 autobiography, disputed Kirby’s account, asserting that Black Magic was not a factor, and that he (Simon) devised the name «Spider-Man» (later changed to «The Silver Spider»), while Kirby outlined the character’s story and powers. Simon later elaborated that his and Kirby’s character conception became the basis for Simon’s Archie Comics superhero the Fly.^[28] Artist Steve Ditko stated that Lee liked the name Hawkman from DC Comics, and that «Spider-Man» was an outgrowth of that interest.^[24]

Simon concurred that Kirby had shown the original Spider-Man version to Lee, who liked the idea and assigned Kirby to draw sample pages of the new character but disliked the results—in Simon’s description, «Captain America with cobwebs».^{[note 5]} Writer Mark Evanier notes that Lee’s reasoning that Kirby’s character was too heroic seems unlikely—Kirby still drew the covers for Amazing Fantasy #15 and the first issue of The Amazing Spider-Man. Evanier also disputes Kirby’s given reason that he was «too busy» to draw Spider-Man in addition to his other duties since Kirby was, said Evanier, «always busy».^[29]: 127 Neither Lee’s nor Kirby’s explanation explains why key story elements like the magic ring were dropped; Evanier states that the most plausible explanation for the sudden change was that Goodman, or one of his assistants, decided that Spider-Man, as drawn and envisioned by Kirby, was too similar to the Fly.^[29]: 127

Author and Ditko scholar Blake Bell writes that it was Ditko who noted the similarities to the Fly. Ditko recalled that «Stan called Jack about the Fly», adding that «[d]ays later, Stan told me I would be penciling the story panel breakdowns from Stan’s synopsis.» It was at this point that the nature of the strip changed. «Out went the magic ring, adult Spider-Man and whatever legend ideas that Spider-Man story would have contained.» Lee gave Ditko the premise of a teenager bitten by a spider and developing powers, a premise Ditko would expand upon to the point he became what Bell describes as «the first work for hire artist of his generation to create and control the narrative arc of his series». On the issue of the initial creation, Ditko stated, «I still don’t know whose idea was Spider-Man».^[30] Ditko did, however, view the published version of Spider-Man as a separate creation to the one he saw in the five pencilled pages that Kirby had completed. To support this Ditko used the analogy of the Kirby/Marvel Thor, which was based on a name/idea of a character in Norse mythology: «If Marvel’s Thor is a valid created work by Jack, his creation, then why isn’t Spider-Man by Stan and me valid created work, our creation?» ^[31]

Kirby noted in a 1971 interview that it was Ditko who «got Spider-Man to roll, and the thing caught on because of what he did».^[32] Lee, while claiming credit for the initial idea, has acknowledged Ditko’s role, stating, «If Steve wants to be called co-creator, I think he deserves [it]».^[33] He has further commented that Ditko’s costume design was key to the character’s success; since the costume completely covers Spider-Man’s body, people of all races could visualize themselves inside the costume and thus more easily identify with the character.^[18]

Commercial success

A few months after Spider-Man’s introduction, publisher Goodman reviewed the sales figures for that issue and was shocked to find it was one of the nascent Marvel’s highest-selling comics.^[34]: 97 A solo ongoing series followed, beginning with The Amazing Spider-Man #1 (cover-dated March 1963). The title eventually became Marvel’s top-selling series^[8]: 211 with the character swiftly becoming a cultural icon; a 1965 Esquire poll of college campuses found that college students ranked Spider-Man and fellow Marvel hero the Hulk alongside Bob Dylan and Che Guevara as their favorite revolutionary icons. One interviewee selected Spider-Man because he was «beset by woes, money problems, and the question of existence. In short, he is one of us.»^[8]: 223 Following Ditko’s departure after issue #38 (July 1966), John Romita Sr. replaced him as penciller and would draw the series for the next several years. In 1968, Romita would also draw the character’s extra-length stories in the comics magazine The Spectacular Spider-Man, a proto-graphic novel designed to appeal to older readers. It only lasted for two issues, but it represented the first Spider-Man spin-off publication, aside from the original series’ summer Annuals that began in 1964.^[35]

An early 1970s Spider-Man story ultimately led to the revision of the Comics Code. Previously, the Code forbade the depiction of the use of illegal drugs, even negatively. However, in 1970, the Nixon administration’s Department of Health, Education, and Welfare asked Stan Lee to publish an anti-drug message in one of Marvel’s top-selling titles.^[8]: 239 Lee chose the top-selling The Amazing Spider-Man; issues #96–98 (May–July 1971) feature a story arc depicting the negative effects of drug use. In the story, Peter Parker’s friend Harry Osborn becomes addicted to pills. When Spider-Man fights the Green Goblin (Norman Osborn, Harry’s father), Spider-Man defeats him by revealing Harry’s drug addiction. While the story had a clear anti-drug message, the Comics Code Authority refused to issue its seal of approval. Marvel nevertheless published the three issues without the Comics Code Authority’s approval or seal. The issues sold so well that the industry’s self-censorship was undercut and the Code was subsequently revised.^[8]: 239

In 1972, a second monthly ongoing series starring Spider-Man began: Marvel Team-Up, in which Spider-Man was paired with other superheroes and supervillains.^[36] From that point on, there have generally been at least two ongoing Spider-Man series at any time. In 1976, his second solo series, Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man began running parallel to the main series.^[37] A third series featuring Spider-Man, Web of Spider-Man, launched in 1985 to replace Marvel Team-Up.^[38] The launch of a fourth monthly title in 1990, the «adjectiveless» Spider-Man (with the storyline «Torment»), written and drawn by popular artist Todd McFarlane, debuted with several different covers, all with the same interior content. The various versions combined sold over 3 million copies, an industry record at the time. Several miniseries, one-shot issues, and loosely related comics have also been published, and Spider-Man makes frequent cameos and guest appearances in other comic book series.^[37][39] In 1996, The Sensational Spider-Man was created to replace Web of Spider-Man.^[40]

In 1998 writer-artist John Byrne revamped the origin of Spider-Man in the 13-issue limited series Spider-Man: Chapter One (Dec. 1998 – Oct. 1999), similar to Byrne’s adding details and some revisions to Superman’s origin in DC Comics’ The Man of Steel.^[41] At the same time, the original The Amazing Spider-Man was ended with issue #441 (Nov. 1998), and The Amazing Spider-Man was restarted with vol. 2, #1 (Jan. 1999).^[42] In 2003, Marvel reintroduced the original numbering for The Amazing Spider-Man and what would have been vol. 2, #59 became issue #500 (Dec. 2003).^[42]

When the primary series The Amazing Spider-Man reached issue #545 (Dec. 2007), Marvel dropped its spin-off ongoing series and instead began publishing The Amazing Spider-Man three times monthly, beginning with #546–548 (all January 2008).^[43] The three times-monthly scheduling of The Amazing Spider-Man lasted until November 2010, when the comic book was increased from 22 pages to 30 pages each issue and published only twice a month, beginning with #648–649 (both November 2010).^[44][45] The following year, Marvel launched Avenging Spider-Man as the first spin-off ongoing series in addition to the still-twice monthly The Amazing Spider-Man since the previous ones were canceled at the end of 2007.^[43] The Amazing series temporarily ended with issue #700 in December 2012, and was replaced by The Superior Spider-Man, which had Doctor Octopus serve as the new Spider-Man, his mind having taken over Peter Parker’s body. Superior was an enormous commercial success for Marvel,^[46] and ran for 31 issues before the real Peter Parker returned in a newly relaunched The Amazing Spider-Man #1 in April 2014.^[47]

Following the 2015 Secret Wars crossover event, a number of Spider-Man-related titles were either relaunched or created as part of the «All-New, All-Different Marvel» event. Among them, The Amazing Spider-Man was relaunched as well and primarily focuses on Peter Parker continuing to run Parker Industries, and becoming a successful businessman who is operating worldwide.^[48]

Fictional character biography

Early years

In Forest Hills, Queens, New York City,^[49] Midtown High School student Peter Benjamin Parker is a science-whiz orphan living with his Uncle Ben and Aunt May. As depicted in Amazing Fantasy #15 (Aug. 1962), he is bitten by a radioactive spider (erroneously classified as an insect in the panel) at a science exhibit and «acquires the agility and proportionate strength of an arachnid».^[50] Along with heightened athletic abilities, Parker gains the ability to adhere to walls and ceilings. Through his native knack for science, he develops a gadget that lets him fire adhesive webbing of his own design through small, wrist-mounted barrels. Initially seeking to capitalize on his new abilities, Parker dons a costume and, as «Spider-Man», becomes a novelty television star. However, «He blithely ignores the chance to stop a fleeing thief, [and] his indifference ironically catches up with him when the same criminal later robs and kills his Uncle Ben.» Spider-Man tracks and subdues the killer and learns, in the story’s next-to-last caption, «With great power there must also come—great responsibility!»^[51]

Despite his superpowers, Parker struggles to help his widowed aunt pay the rent, is taunted by his peers—particularly football star Flash Thompson—and, as Spider-Man, engenders the editorial wrath of newspaper publisher J. Jonah Jameson.^[52][53] As he battles his enemies for the first time,^[54] Parker finds juggling his personal life and costumed adventures difficult. In time, Peter graduates from high school^[55] and enrolls at Empire State University (a fictional institution evoking the real-life Columbia University and New York University),^[56] where he meets roommate and best friend Harry Osborn and girlfriend Gwen Stacy,^[57] and Aunt May introduces him to Mary Jane Watson.^[54][58][59] As Peter deals with Harry’s drug problems, and Harry’s father is revealed to be Spider-Man’s nemesis the Green Goblin, Peter even attempts to give up his costumed identity for a while.^[60][61] Gwen Stacy’s father, New York City Police detective Captain George Stacy, is accidentally killed during a battle between Spider-Man and Doctor Octopus (issue #90, November 1970).^[62]

1970s

In issue #121 (June 1973),^[54] the Green Goblin throws Gwen Stacy from a tower of either the Brooklyn Bridge (as depicted in the art) or the George Washington Bridge (as given in the text).^[63][64] She dies during Spider-Man’s rescue attempt; a note on the letters page of issue #125 states: «It saddens us to say that the whiplash effect she underwent when Spidey’s webbing stopped her so suddenly was, in fact, what killed her.»^[65] The following issue, the Goblin appears to kill himself accidentally in the ensuing battle with Spider-Man.^[66]

Working through his grief, Parker eventually develops tentative feelings toward Watson, and the two «become confidants rather than lovers».^[67] A romantic relationship eventually develops, with Parker proposing to her in issue #182 (July 1978), and being turned down an issue later.^[68] Parker went on to graduate from college in issue #185,^[54] and becomes involved with the shy Debra Whitman and the extroverted, flirtatious costumed thief Felicia Hardy, a.k.a. the Black Cat,^[69] whom he meets in issue #194 (July 1979).^[54]

The Amazing Spider-Man #252 (May 1984): The black costume debut that brought controversy to many fans. The suit was later revealed as an alien symbiote and was used in the creation of the villain Venom, cover art by Ron Frenz and Klaus Janson

1980s

From 1984 to 1988, Spider-Man wore a black costume with a white spider design on his chest. The new costume originated in the Secret Wars miniseries, on an alien planet where Spider-Man participates in a battle between Earth’s major superheroes and supervillains.^[70] He continues wearing the costume when he returns, starting in The Amazing Spider-Man #252. The change to a longstanding character’s design met with controversy, «with many hardcore comics fans decrying it as tantamount to sacrilege. Spider-Man’s traditional red and blue costume was iconic, they argued, on par with those of his D.C. rivals Superman and Batman.»^[71] The creators then revealed the costume was an alien symbiote which Spider-Man is able to reject after a difficult struggle,^[72] though the symbiote returns several times as Venom for revenge.^[54]
Parker proposes to Watson in The Amazing Spider-Man #290 (July 1987), and she accepts two issues later, with the wedding taking place in The Amazing Spider-Man Annual #21 (1987)—promoted with a real-life mock wedding using actors at Shea Stadium, with Stan Lee officiating, on June 5, 1987.^[73] David Michelinie, who scripted based on a plot by editor-in-chief Jim Shooter, said in 2007, «I didn’t think they actually should [have gotten] married. … I had actually planned another version, one that wasn’t used.»^[73] Parker published a book of Spider-Man photographs called Webs.^[74] and returned to his Empire State University graduate studies in biochemistry in #310 (Dec. 1988).^[54]

1990s

In the controversial^[75] 1990s storyline the «Clone Saga», a clone of Parker, created in 1970s comics by insane scientist Miles Warren, a.k.a. the Jackal, returns to New York City upon hearing of Aunt May’s health worsening. The clone had lived incognito as «Ben Reilly», but now assumes the superhero guise the Scarlet Spider and allies with Parker. To the surprise of both, new tests indicate «Reilly» is the original and «Parker» the clone.^[76] Complicating matters, Watson announces in The Spectacular Spider-Man #220 (Jan. 1995) that she is pregnant with Parker’s baby.^[54] Later, however, a resurrected Green Goblin (Norman Osborn) has Watson poisoned, causing premature labor and the death of her and Parker’s unborn daughter.^[77] The Green Goblin had switched the results of the clone test in an attempt to destroy Parker’s life by making him believe himself to be the clone. Reilly is killed while saving Parker, in Peter Parker: Spider-Man #75 (Dec. 1996), and his body immediately crumbles into dust, confirming Reilly was the clone.^[77]

In issue #97 (Nov. 1998) of the second series titled Peter Parker: Spider-Man,^[78] Parker learns his Aunt May was kidnapped by Norman Osborn and her apparent death in The Amazing Spider-Man #400 (April 1995) had been a hoax.^[79][80] Shortly afterward, in The Amazing Spider-Man (vol. 2) #13 (#454, Jan. 2000), Watson is apparently killed in an airplane explosion.^[81] She turns up alive and well in (vol. 2) #28 (#469, April 2001),^[81] but she and Peter become separated in the following issue.^[82]

2000s

Babylon 5 creator J. Michael Straczynski began writing The Amazing Spider-Man, illustrated by John Romita Jr., beginning with (vol. 2) #30 (#471, June 2001). Two issues later, Parker, now employed as a teacher at his old high school, meets the enigmatic Ezekiel, who possesses similar spider powers and suggests that Parker having gained such abilities might not have been a fluke—that Parker has a connection to a totemic spider spirit. In (vol. 2) #37 (#478, Jan. 2002), May discovers her nephew Parker is Spider-Man, leading to a new openness in their relationship.^[80] Parker and Watson reconcile in (vol. 2) #50 (#491, April 2003),^[80] and in #512 (Nov. 2004)—the original issue numbering having returned with #500—Parker learns his late girlfriend Gwen Stacy had had two children with Norman Osborn.^[83]

He joins the superhero team the New Avengers in New Avengers #1–2. After their respective homes are destroyed by a deranged, superpowered former high-school classmate, Parker, Watson, and May move into Stark Tower, and Parker begins working as Tony Stark’s assistant while again freelancing for The Daily Bugle and continuing his teaching. In the 12-part 2005 story arc «The Other», Parker undergoes a transformation that evolves his powers. In the comic Civil War #2 (June 2006), part of the company-wide crossover arc of that title, the U.S. government’s Superhuman Registration Act leads Spider-Man to reveal his true identity publicly. A growing unease about the Registration Act prompts him to escape with May and Watson and join the anti-registration underground.

In issue #537 (Dec. 2006), May is critically wounded by a sniper hired by Wilson Fisk and enters into a coma. Parker, desperate to save her, exhausts all possibilities and makes a pact with the demon-lord Mephisto, who saves May’s life in exchange for Parker and Watson agreeing to have their marriage and all memory of it disappear. In this changed reality, Spider-Man’s identity is secret once again, and in #545 (Jan. 2008), Watson returns and is cold toward him.

That controversial^[84] storyline, «One More Day», rolled back much of the fictional continuity at the behest of editor-in-chief Joe Quesada, who said, «Peter being single is an intrinsic part of the very foundation of the world of Spider-Man».^[84] It caused unusual public friction between Quesada and writer Straczynski, who «told Joe that I was going to take my name off the last two issues of the [story] arc», but was talked out of doing so.^[85] At issue with Straczynski’s climax to the arc, Quesada said, was

…that we didn’t receive the story and methodology to the resolution that we were all expecting. What made that very problematic is that we had four writers and artists well underway on [the sequel arc] «Brand New Day» that were expecting and needed «One More Day» to end in the way that we had all agreed it would. … The fact that we had to ask for the story to move back to its original intent understandably made Joe upset and caused some major delays and page increases in the series. Also, the science that Joe was going to apply to the retcon of the marriage would have made over 30 years of Spider-Man books worthless, because they never would have had happened. …[I]t would have reset way too many things outside of the Spider-Man titles. We just couldn’t go there….^[85]

In this new continuity, designed to have very limited repercussions throughout the remainder of the Marvel Universe, Parker returns to work at the Daily Bugle, which has been renamed The DB under a new publisher.^[86] He soon switches to the alternative press paper The Front Line.^[87] J. Jonah Jameson becomes the Mayor of New York City in issue #591 (June 2008).^[83] Jameson’s estranged father, J. Jonah Jameson Sr., marries May in issue #600 (Sept. 2009).^[83][88]

During the «Secret Invasion» by shape-shifting extra-terrestrials, the Skrulls, Norman Osborn shoots and kills the Skrull queen Veranke.^[89] He leverages this widely publicized success, positioning himself as the new director of the S.H.I.E.L.D.-like paramilitary force H.A.M.M.E.R. to advance his agenda,^[89] while using his public image to start his own Dark Avengers. Norman himself leads the Dark Avengers as the Iron Patriot, a suit of armor fashioned by himself after Iron Man’s armor with Captain America’s colors.^[90]

Harry is approached by Norman with the offer of a job within the Dark Avengers. It is later revealed that it is a ruse to coerce Harry into taking the American Son armor, whom Norman had planned to kill, in order to increase public sympathy. When Harry has the option of killing Norman, Spider-Man says to decapitate him, since Norman’s healing factor may repair a blow to the head. Spider-Man also cautions Harry that killing Norman will cause Harry to «become the son Norman always wanted». Harry instead backs down, and turns away from his father forever.^[91]

2010s

At Loki’s suggestion, Norman Osborn creates a rationale to invade Asgard, claiming the world poses a national security threat. He is however defeated, and ends up incarcerated in the Raft penitentiary.^[92][93] A conflict between Spider-Man and Doctor Octopus over Osborn’s son ends when it is revealed the child’s father is Harry, who leaves town to raise him.^[94] One of Doctor Octopus’ Octobots managed to swap his and Spider Man’s personality, causing Peter to become trapped in the Doctor’s dying body while he in turn claimed Peter’s life for himself. Though Peter failed to reverse the change, he managed to establish a weak link with the Doctor’s mind, forcing him to relive all of his memories; Otto understands Peter’s ideals of power and responsibility and swears to carry on with Peter’s life with dignity as a «Superior» Spider-Man.^[95][96]

A portion of Peter survived in his original body in the form of a subconsciousness.^[97] Later, realizing that he failed in his role as the «Superior» Spider-Man, Otto willingly allowed Peter to reclaim his body in order to defeat Osborn and save Anna Maria Marconi, Otto’s love.^[98] In the aftermath of these events, Peter began to amend the relationships damaged by Otto’s arrogance and negligence, both as Peter Parker and Spider-Man. He additionally took up the reins of Parker Industries, a small company founded by Otto after leaving Horizon Labs.^[99]

Peter soon learned a second person had been bitten by the radioactive spider, Cindy Moon.^[100] Spider-Man tracked her down and freed her from a bunker owned by the late Ezekiel Simms.^[101] Not long after rescuing Cindy, who went on to adopt her own superheroic identity as Silk,^[102][103] Spider-Man was approached by a contingent of spider-people from all over the Multiverse that banded together to fight the Inheritors, a group of psychic vampires who had begun to hunt down the spider-totems of other realities.^[104] During a mission to gather more recruits in A.D. 2099, the Spider-Army stumbled upon another party of spider-people led by a version of Otto Octavius.^[105] Together, they neutralized the Inheritors and went their separate ways.

Peter then stopped another nefarious plan, this time put forward by the Jackal.^[106] After the events of «Go Down Swinging,» Peter’s life was plagued with problems on both sides. As Spider-Man, Mayor Fisk publicly supported him, condemning all other vigilantes in order to isolate him from his superhero peers. As Peter Parker, his academic credentials were revoked after being accused of plagiarizing his doctoral dissertation from Octavius, resulting in his firing from the Daily Bugle. On the other hand, Peter became romantically involved again with Mary Jane.^[107] For a brief time, Peter Parker and Spider-Man were split into separate beings due to an accident involving the reverse-engineered Isotope Genome Accelerator. Peter eventually managed to reverse the process, and merge his two halves back together before the side-effects could worsen and result in their death.^[108]

2020s

Kindred uses the resurrected Sin-Eater’s sins to possess Miles Morales, Spider-Gwen, Spider-Woman, Anya Corazon, and Julia Carpenter. Doctor Strange, who manages to restrain a possessed Silk, agrees to help Spider-Man. However, Peter dies when fighting Kindred. While dead, Peter’s consciousness remembered the fateful day of the start of One More Day; Kindred is willing to resurrect Peter.^[109]

Personality and themes

«People often say glibly that Marvel succeeded by blending super hero adventure stories with soap opera. What Lee and Ditko actually did in The Amazing Spider-Man was to make the series an ongoing novelistic chronicle of the lead character’s life. Most super heroes had problems no more complex or relevant to their readers’ lives than thwarting this month’s bad guys… Parker had far more serious concern in his life: coming to terms with the death of a loved one, falling in love for the first time, struggling to make a living, and undergoing crises of conscience.»

Comics historian Peter Sanderson^[110]

Sally Kempton for the Village Voice opined in 1965 that «Spider-Man has a terrible identity problem, a marked inferiority complex, and a fear of women. He is anti-social, [sic] castration-ridden, racked with Oedipal guilt, and accident-prone … [a] functioning neurotic».^[49] Agonizing over his choices, always attempting to do right, he is nonetheless viewed with suspicion by the authorities, who seem unsure as to whether he is a helpful vigilante or a clever criminal.^[111]

Notes cultural historian Bradford W. Wright,

Spider-Man’s plight was to be misunderstood and persecuted by the very public that he swore to protect. In the first issue of The Amazing Spider-Man, J. Jonah Jameson, publisher of the Daily Bugle, launches an editorial campaign against the «Spider-Man menace.» The resulting negative publicity exacerbates popular suspicions about the mysterious Spider-Man and makes it impossible for him to earn any more money by performing. Eventually, the bad press leads the authorities to brand him an outlaw. Ironically, Peter finally lands a job as a photographer for Jameson’s Daily Bugle.^[8]: 212

The mid-1960s stories reflect the political tensions of the time. Early 1960s Marvel stories often deal with the Cold War and Communism.^{[8]: 220–223} As Wright observes,

From his high-school beginnings to his entry into college life, Spider-Man remained the superhero most relevant to the world of young people. Fittingly, then, his comic book also contained some of the earliest references to the politics of young people. In 1968, in the wake of actual militant student demonstrations at Columbia University, Peter Parker finds himself in the midst of similar unrest at his Empire State University…. Peter has to reconcile his natural sympathy for the students with his assumed obligation to combat lawlessness as Spider-Man. As a law-upholding liberal, he finds himself caught between militant leftism and angry conservatives.^{[8]: 234–235}

Powers, skills, and equipment

Peter Parker has superhuman spider-powers and abilities derived from mutations resulting from the bite of a radioactive spider.^[112] Since the original Lee-Ditko stories, Spider-Man has had the ability to cling to wall surfaces and ceilings. The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe speculated that this was based on a distance-dependent interaction between his body and surfaces, known as the van der Waals force,^[113] though in the 2002’s Spider-Man film, his hands and feet are lined with tiny clinging cilia in the manner of a real spider’s feet. Spider-Man’s other powers include superhuman strength, speed, agility, stamina, reflexes, durability, coordination and balance, and a precognitive sixth sense referred to as his «spider-sense,» which alerts him to danger.^[112]

Spider-Man has a healing factor that allows him to recover from injuries sustained during battle.^[114] In the aftermath of the 1989 «Acts of Vengeance» storyline, Spider-Man was said to have «superhuman recuperative abilities» that sped up his recovery from the exhaustion he suffered in defeating the Tri-Sentinel.^[115]

The character was originally conceived by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko as intellectually gifted, but later writers have depicted his intellect at genius level.^[116] After years of crime-fighting, Spider-Man honed his skill into an equivalent of martial arts that is unique to his powers. Academically brilliant, Peter has expertise in the fields of applied science, chemistry, physics, biology, engineering, mathematics, and mechanics.

With his talents, Peter sews his own costume to conceal his identity, and he constructs many devices that complement his powers, most notably mechanical web-shooters that allow him to shoot webs, swing at high speeds throughout the city, to help navigate, and trap his enemies with his webs, as well as with a spider-signal as a flashlight and a warning beacon to criminals.^[112] Thomas Fireheart’s scientists, among the best in the world, are unable to replicate the fluid Parker created while in high school.^[117]

Supporting cast

Spider-Man has had a wide range of connected characters during his inception. A variant cover art of The Amazing Spider-Man (vol. 3) #1 depicts the heads of various Spider-Man enemies behind Spider-Man (as drawn by Kevin Maguire) as shown in the center.

Spider-Man has had a large range of supporting characters introduced in the comics that are essential in the issues and storylines that star him. After his parents died, Peter Parker was raised by his loving aunt, May Parker, and his uncle and father figure, Ben Parker. After Uncle Ben is murdered by a burglar, Aunt May is virtually Peter’s only family, and she and Peter are very close.^[50]

J. Jonah Jameson is the publisher of the Daily Bugle and Peter Parker’s boss. A harsh critic of Spider-Man, he constantly features negative articles about the superhero in his newspaper. Despite his role as Jameson’s editor and confidant, Robbie Robertson is always depicted as a supporter of both Peter Parker and Spider-Man.^[52]

Eugene «Flash» Thompson is commonly depicted as Parker’s high school tormentor and bully, but in later comic issues he becomes a friend to Peter and adopts his own superhero identity, Agent Venom, after merging with the Venom symbiote.^[52] Meanwhile, Harry Osborn, son of Norman Osborn, is most commonly recognized as Peter’s best friend, although some versions depicted him as his rival.^[54]

Enemies

Writers and artists over the years have established a rogues gallery of supervillains to face Spider-Man, in comics and in other media. As with the hero, the majority of the villains’ powers originate with scientific accidents or the misuse of scientific technology, and many have animal-themed costumes or powers.^{[note 6]} The most notable Spider-Man villains are listed down below in the ordering of their original chronological appearance:

Unlike most superheroes, Spider-Man does not have a single villain with whom he has come into conflict the most. Instead, he is often regarded as having three archenemies, and it can be debated as to which one is the worst:^[165]

1. ^ Doctor Octopus (a.k.a. Doc Ock) is a highly intelligent mad scientist who utilizes four mechanical appendages for both movement and combat. He has been described as Spider-Man’s greatest enemy, and the man Peter Parker might have become if he had not been raised with a sense of responsibility.^[15][166] Doc Ock is infamous for defeating him the first time in battle and for almost marrying Peter’s Aunt May. He is also the core leader of the Sinister Six, and at one point adopted the «Master Planner» alias. («If This Be My Destiny…!»)^[167] Later depictions revealed him in Peter Parker’s body where he was the titular character for a while.^[166]
2. ^ The Norman Osborn version of the Green Goblin is most commonly regarded as Spider-Man’s archenemy.^{[165][168][169]} While Norman is usually portrayed as an amoral industrialist and the head of the Oscorp scientific corporation, the Goblin is a psychopathic alternate personality, born after Norman’s exposore to some unstable chemicals that also increased his strength and agility. The Goblin is a Halloween-themed villain, dressing up like an actual goblin and utilizing a large arsenal of high tech weapons, including a glider and pumpkin-shaped explosives. Unlike most villains, who only aim to kill Spider-Man, the Goblin also targeted his loved ones and showed no remorse in killing them as long as it caused pain to Spider-Man, therefore making him not only Spider-Man’s worst enemy, but also Peter Parker’s. His most infamous feat is killing Spider-Man’s girlfriend in what became one of the most famous Spider-Man stories of all time and helped end the Silver Age of Comic Books and begin the Bronze Age of Comic Books.^[165] While the Goblin was killed in the same story, he returned in the 1990s to plague Spider-Man once again, committing more heinous acts (such as being involved in the murder of Aunt May). He also came into conflict with other heroes, such as the Avengers.^[170] Norman is sometimes depicted as an enemy of Spider-Man even when not being the Green Goblin.^[171]
3. ^ The Eddie Brock incarnation of Venom is often regarded as Spider-Man’s deadliest foe, and has been described as an evil mirror version of Spider-Man in many ways.^{[157][119][165]} He is also among Spider-Man’s most popular villains.^[172] Originally a reporter who grew to despise Spider-Man, Eddie later came into contact with the Venom symbiote, which had been rejected by Spider-Man. The symbiote merged with Eddie and gave him the same powers as Spider-Man, in addition to making him immune to the web-slinger’s «spider-sense». Venom’s main goal is usually to ruin Peter Parker’s life and mess with his head in any way he can.^[160] Despite this, Venom is not a traditional criminal, as he is only interested in hurting Spider-Man and does not engage in criminal acts, lacking the typical supervillain desires for wealth and power. The character also has a sense of honor and justice, and later starred in his own comic book stories, where he is depicted as an antihero and has a desire to protect innocent people from harm. On several occasions, he and Spider-Man even put their differences aside and became allies.^[157][173]

Romantic interests

Peter Parker’s romantic interests range between his first crush, fellow high-school student Liz Allan,^[52] to having his first date with Betty Brant,^[174] secretary to the Daily Bugle newspaper publisher J. Jonah Jameson. After his breakup with Betty Brant, Parker eventually falls in love with his college girlfriend Gwen Stacy,^[54][57] daughter of New York City Police Department detective Captain George Stacy, both of whom are later killed by supervillain enemies of Spider-Man.^[62] Mary Jane Watson eventually became Peter’s best friend and then his wife.^[73] Felicia Hardy, the Black Cat, is a reformed cat burglar who had been Spider-Man’s sole superhuman girlfriend and partner at one point.^[69]

Alternate versions of Spider-Man

Within the Marvel Universe there exists a multiverse with many variations of Spider-Men.^[175] An early character included in the 1980s is the fictional anthropomorphic animal parody of Spider-Man in pig form named Spider-Ham (Peter Porker).^[176] Many imprints of Spider-Men were created, like the futuristic version of Spider-Man in Marvel 2099 named Miguel O’Hara. In the MC2 imprint, Peter marries Mary Jane and has a daughter named Mayday Parker, who carries on Spider-Man’s legacy and Marvel Noir has a 1930s version of Peter Parker.^{[175][177][178]} Other themed versions exist within the early 2000s, such as a Marvel Mangaverse version and an Indian version from Spider-Man: India named Pavitr Prabhakar.^[175][179]

Ultimate Spider-Man was a popular modern retelling of Peter Parker. The version of Parker would later be depicted as being killed off and replaced by an Afro-Latino Spider-Man named Miles Morales.^[180]

The storyline «Spider-Verse» brought back many alternate takes on Spider-Man and introduced many newly inspired ones, such as an alternate world where Gwen Stacy gets bitten by a radioactive spider instead, along with a British-themed version named Spider-UK called Billy Braddock from the Captain Britain Corps.^[177][181]

Cultural impact and legacy

Graph image depicting Spider-Man as the leading superhero in merchandise retail sales worldwide in 2016 (in millions)^[182]

In The Creation of Spider-Man, comic book writer-editor and historian Paul Kupperberg calls the character’s superpowers «nothing too original»; what was original was that outside his secret identity, he was a «nerdy high school student».^[183]: 5 Going against typical superhero fare, Spider-Man included «heavy doses of soap-opera and elements of melodrama». Kupperberg feels that Lee and Ditko had created something new in the world of comics: «the flawed superhero with everyday problems». This idea spawned a «comics revolution».^[183]: 6 The insecurity and anxieties in Marvel’s early 1960s comic books, such as The Amazing Spider-Man, The Incredible Hulk, The Fantastic Four, and The X-Men ushered in a new type of superhero, very different from the certain and all-powerful superheroes before them, and changed the public’s perception of them.^[184] Spider-Man has become one of the most recognizable fictional characters in the world, and has been used to sell toys, games, cereal, candy, soap, and many other products.^[185]

Spider-Man has often been used as the company mascot. When Marvel became the first comic book company to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 1991, The Wall Street Journal announced «Spider-Man is coming to Wall Street»; the event was in turn promoted with an actor in a Spider-Man costume accompanying Stan Lee to the Stock Exchange.^[8]: 254 Since 1962, hundreds of millions of comics featuring the character have been sold around the world.^[186] Spider-Man is the world’s most profitable superhero.^[187] In 2014, global retail sales of licensed products related to Spider-Man reached approximately $1.3 billion.^[188] Comparatively, this amount exceeds the global licensing revenue of Batman, Superman, and the Avengers combined.^[187]
Spider-Man is also one of the highest-grossing franchise titles being the highest-grossing American comic book superhero^[189][190] est. $25.6 billion worldwide.^[191][192]

Spider-Man joined the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade from 1987 to 1998 as one of the balloon floats,^[193] designed by John Romita Sr.,^[194] one of the character’s signature artists. A new, different Spider-Man balloon float also appeared from 2009 to 2014.^[193]

When Marvel wanted to issue a story dealing with the immediate aftermath of the September 11 attacks, the company chose the December 2001 issue of The Amazing Spider-Man.^[195]
In 2006, Spider-Man garnered major media coverage with the revelation of the character’s secret identity,^[196] an event detailed in a full-page story in the New York Post before the issue containing the story was even released.^[197]

In 2008, Marvel announced plans to release a series of educational comics the following year in partnership with the United Nations, depicting Spider-Man alongside the UN Peacekeeping Forces to highlight UN peacekeeping missions.^[198] A BusinessWeek article listed Spider-Man as one of the top 10 most intelligent fictional characters in American comics.^[199]

In 2015, the Supreme Court of the United States decided Kimble v. Marvel Entertainment, LLC, a case concerning royalties on a patent for an imitation web shooter. The opinion for the Court, by Justice Elena Kagan, included several Spider-Man references, concluding with the statement that «with great power, there must also come—great responsibility».^[200]

Spider-Man has become a subject of scientific inquiry. In 1987, researchers at Loyola University conducted a study into the utility of Spider-Man comics for informing children and parents about issues relating to child abuse.^[201]

Reception

The culmination of nearly every superhero that came before him, Spider-Man is the hero of heroes. He’s got fun and cool powers, but not on the god-like level of Thor. He’s just a normal guy with girlfriend problems and money issues, so he’s more relatable than playboy billionaire Iron Man. And he’s an awkward teenager, not a wizened adult like Captain America. Not too hot and not too cold, Spider-Man is just right.

—IGN staff on placing Spider-Man as the number one hero of Marvel.^[202]

In 2005, Bravo’s Ultimate Super Heroes, Vixens, and Villains TV series declared that Spider-Man was the number 1 superhero.^[203] Empire magazine ranked him the fifth-greatest comic book character of all time.^[204] Wizard magazine placed Spider-Man as the third-greatest comic book character on their website.^[205] In 2011, Spider-Man placed third on IGN’s Top 100 Comic Book Heroes of All Time, behind DC Comics characters Superman and Batman.^[202] and sixth in their 2012 list of «The Top 50 Avengers».^[206] In 2014, IGN identified Spider-Man the greatest Marvel Comics character of all time.^[207] A 2015 poll at Comic Book Resources named Spider-Man the greatest Marvel character of all time.^[208] IGN described him as the common everyman that represents many normal people but also noted his uniqueness compared to many top-tiered superheroes with his many depicted flaws as a superhero. IGN noted that, despite being one of the most tragic superheroes of all time, he is «one of the most fun and snarky superheroes in existence.»^[202] Empire praised Spider-man’s always-present sense of humor and wisecracks in the face of the many tragedies he faces. The magazine website appraised the depiction of his «iconic» superhero poses describing it as «a top artist’s dream».^[205]

George Marston of Newsarama called Spider-Man’s origin the greatest origin story of all time, opining that «Spider-Man’s origin combines all of the most classic aspects of pathos, tragedy and scientific wonder into the perfect blend for a superhero origin.»^[209]

Real-life comparisons

Real-life people who have been compared to Spider-Man for their climbing feats include:

• In 1981, skyscraper-safety activist Dan Goodwin, wearing a Spider-Man suit, scaled the Sears Tower in Chicago, Illinois, the Renaissance Tower in Dallas, Texas, and the John Hancock Center in Chicago.
• Alain Robert, nicknamed «Spider-Man», is a rock and urban climber who has scaled more than 70 tall buildings using his hands and feet, without using additional devices. He sometimes wears a Spider-Man suit during his climbs. In May 2003, he was paid approximately $18,000 to climb the 95-metre (312 ft) Lloyd’s building to promote the premiere of the movie Spider-Man on the British television channel Sky Movies.
• «The Human Spider», alias Bill Strother, scaled the Lamar Building in Augusta, Georgia in 1921.^[211]
• In Argentina, criminals that climb buildings and trespass into private property through the open balconies are said to use the «Spider-Man method» (in Spanish, «el Hombre Araña»).^[212][213]

9. Portfolio: Make a poster of your favourite cartoon characters. Stick on pictures. Write a few sentences about each character. Write: name, who the character is, what the character does — Портфолио: Сделай постер по своему любимому мультипликационному герою. Прикрепи картинки. Напиши несколько предложений о каждом персонаже. Напиши имя, кто это, что он делает.

My favourite cartoon is Three Heroes. There are a lot of interesting characters. Ilya is a great Russian epic hero. He is very strong. The source of his power is in Russian ground. He loves his fighting horse Burushka. Dobrynya is the Russian epic hero too. He is strong as Ilya, but Dobrynya is very exacting to himself and to others. His “fighting horse” is a camel Vasya. The third hero is Alyosha. He is naughty and restless, but he is very kind. He likes his donkey Moisey and his friend Yuliy – the horse, that can speak. Also, there is a knyaz Vladimir in this cartoon. He is very funny. He has a lot of troubles always. I like this cartoon very much.

Мой любимый мультфильм — Три богатыря. В нем много интересных персонажей. Илья — великий русский былинный богатырь. Он очень сильный. Источник его силы — в русской земле. Он любит своего боевого коня Бурушку. Добрыня тоже русский былинный герой. Он так же силен, как и Илья, но Добрыня очень требовательный к себе и другим. Его «боевой конь» — верблюд Вася. Третий герой — Алеша. Он непоседливый и неусидчивый, но он очень добрый. Он любит своего ослика Моисея и своего друга Юлия — говорящую лошадь. Также в мультфильме есть князь Владимир. Он очень забавный. У него постоянно куча проблем. Мне очень нравится этот мультфильм.

Сценарий фильма Человек-Паук/ Spiderman на английском языке бесплатно

Здесь вы можете найти сценарий к фильму: Человек-Паук/ Spiderman.

A mighty WARNING KLAXON assaults our ears. A FLASHING RED WARNING LIGHT stabs our eyes.

Several DIALS go into the RED. A hand pushes aside a YELLOW THERMOS and pushes forward a RED POWER THROTTLE. We hear the WHINING UP of a cyclotron. A DIGITAL DIAL climbs to «5% POWER.» A SPIDER crawls across a DIAL.

Begin OPENING CREDITS.

THE CYCLOTRON ROOM is in an old basement full of peeling paint and plumbing wrapped with TAPE. Leaks are here and there. COBWEBS are all around.

DOCTOR OTTO OCTAVIUS (OCK) is a strong but strange featured man in his mid-fifties.

His assistant, WEINER, hovers nearby looking on. He’s open mouthed with a mindless kind of curiosity. WEINER is a local, small-time hood hired by OCK to circumvent the school administration and to «procure» whatever OCK needs for his experiments. He shades his eyes against a searing BLUE-WHITE BEAM that erupts from the WINDOW. THE ROOM IS DIVIDED INTO A CONTROL ROOM AND THE EXPERIMENT CHAMBERS.

WEINER Whoa, whoa, whoa. what’s that?

With a WHOOSH, the WINDOW EXPLODES, showering the TWO with shards of GLASS, and throwing them to the floor.

OCK (rising) We begin again. let’s kick in that new transducer. See if we can double the power output.

WEINER (rising more slowly) Whoa, Doc. wait a minute.

But OCK is already at the THROTTLE. The cyclotron whirls up. The lights go on. Louder, brighter than before. OCK looks through the broken WINDOW into the EXPERIMENTAL CHAMBER. The POWER DIAL inches upward, «eight, nine. » the BLUE-WHITE LIGHT is blinding now. The WHINE pitch is shattering. END OPENING CREDITS.

The POWER DIAL hits ten.

As STUDENTS go to class, the sound of the cyclotron spills out of the SCIENCE CENTER onto the grounds of Empire State University.

We see PETER PARKER, a pleasant faced senior who’s among the top in his class. Sincere and serious, he has yet to develop a way with women.

LIZ (falling in step) Hiya Peter.

LIZ ALLEN is also a senior. She’s beautiful and intelligent.

PETER (ardent but uncomfortable) Hiya Liz. how’re you doing.

LIZ (teasing softly) How’m I doing what?

HARRY Peter! Peter! Wait up!

HARRY is the school nerd. A quirky kid who, like PETER, can be a little backward around girls, especially pretty ones like Liz.

HARRY (to Liz) Would you, uh. excuse us for a minute?

Despite PETER’S protesting body language, HARRY pulls him away like a conspirator.

PETER What is it? what.

HARRY Did the Astro-Physics Journal really accept your paper?

PETER (laughs, embarrassed) Yeah. well. all I got’s the data but they’ve agreed to publish it when it’s finished. You know. it’s my calculation on the Planetary Conjunction.

HARRY And its influence on the anti-force. Isn’t it?

PETER Yes. Look, Harry, I am busy with. (indicates Liz standing there)

HARRY Yeah, you and the rest of the class. Every one is busy with Liz.

LIZ (growing impatient) Peter?

A HAND reaches in and smacks her bottom.

FLASH Hiya, cupcakes.

LIZ (elbowing him affectionately) Flash.

They kiss and walk away.

HARRY (sneering) And Flash is the busiest of them all.

PETER (disappointed) Come on, Harry. we’ll be late for Octavius.

HARRY makes a gesture dismissing OCK as crazy.

HARRY Ock is nuts, don’t you agree?

PETER Ock is a genius, Harry. Crazy, Yes! But, a genius misunderstood, and unappreciated.

ROZ (knocking furiously) Doctor Octavius! You are late for your lecture. The students are waiting. Doctor Octavius!

THORKEL Your friend is impossible Professor Rosomorf, I told the board we should let him go.

The LIGHT above THORKEL’s head EXPLODES. Then all the LIGHTS behind him EXPLODE in succession. THORKEL and ROZ look amazed.

THORKEL What’s he doing in there, not his crazy experiment again.

ROZ You mean his anti-force theory. one day they’ll give him the Nobel Prize for it.

THORKEL Meanwhile he is demolishing our university. Octavius!! (knocks) Open the door.

OCK The anti-force experiment has now reached the limit of electronic overload safety. Therefore, Weiner, you will disconnect the overload safety device.

FOUR WALDOS (three-fingered, snake-like mechanical arms) suddenly thrust themselves into the CHAMBER and begin working, each at a different task. OCK is an acknowledged master at manipulating these WALDOS.

He flicks a switch and a searing BLUE-WHITE BEAM lances down from a FOCUSING CONE and strikes a GRAM WEIGHT (marked, «1,000,000»), illuminating it and filling our ears with a splitting BUZZ TONE.

The knock on the door grows louder.

WEINER comes up behind OCK.

WEINER Whoa, Doc. someone’s at the door.

OCK (ignoring) World class scientific mind and they stick me in the basement with this third rate cyclotron.

INSERT: The DIAL marked «RELATIVE GRAVITY» reads «1,000,000» but suddenly it snaps to «0.999999!»

The WEIGHT begins to jiggle and, for an instant, it appears to lift ever so slightly.

This is an enormous room, 100 lab tables. The yellowing smoke of a thousand experiments hangs in the air. A HUGE AMERICAN FLAG dominates the back wall.

PETER, HARRY and LIZ set up their TABLES. FLASH reads the DAILY BUGLE sports section. PETER can’t take his eyes off LIZ. When she looks back he looks down at his GEAR.

LIZ (softly) What is it, Peter?

PETER (embarrassed) It’s nothing.

WEINER opens the door and sees ROZ and THORKEL waiting impatient.

WEINER Yes, gentleman can I help you?

THORKEL Tell your boss, that his class is waiting.

WEINER (looks) You better tell him yourself.

THORKEL looks at ROZ who waves his shoulder, then the both call.

ROZ & THORKEL Professor Octavius!!

Professor OCK turns and looks at the bewildered men.

OCK Gentlemen, come, you must see this.

ROZ But, your students.

OCK The imbeciles can wait. I have better things to do than teach introductory Physics Rosomorf. Undergrads are kindless adolescence.

THORKEL You see he is impossible.

OCK Thorkel you are the dummiest administrator our university has ever had. (Thorkel turns to go) Don’t go Thorkel!! Come! Look!

He starts to play his machines handles and buttons.

THORKEL The university pays you to teach something to your students.

LIZ Well, do you mean nothing. or do you mean something but you won’t tell me what it is?

PETER (regaining) I mean plain nothing.

LIZ Well, I guess that’s about as nothing as you can get. plain nothing.

LIZ Ahh, it is something.

The equipment on her TABLE is starting to vibrate. They look at it, curiously. We hear the cyclotron’s WHINE begin to build.

Everything is shaking like in an earthquake. Roz and Thorkel seem to dance in their place going crazy with anger and surprise. The WHINE is deafening! The light is blinding! WEINER has his eyes closed and his hands over his ears.

OCK I am going for 20 percent power!

THORKEL NO!! Don’t do that.

ROZ Ock! Its dangerous.

THORKEL Ock I warn you.

WEINER crosses himself. The CONSOLE erupts in sparks.

We follow the electrical overcharge as it crackles along the WIRES and CABLES inside the WALLS and FLOORS. It is making its way up to the LAB!

All the kids are now trying to hold onto their vibrating equipment.

The CHARGE crackles up a WIRE and erupts at LIZ’S TABLE. A BREAKER explodes in flames. There is an outburst of AD LIBS: «Fire!» «Everybody out!»

THORKEL (comes running he is shabby and bewildered) seeing LIZ trapped behind the fire which is growing from second to second.

THORKEL Keep calm, everybody keep calm. Use the front door. Everybody out the front.

LIZ I can’t. Help me!

He wades into the fire, but is beaten back by the FLAMES. His sleeve is on fire. He pats it out.

Flash appears and tries to help but Thorkel stops him.

THORKEL Get back, you idiots. You can’t go in there!

LIZ smashes at the WINDOW, but this is an inner city school and the WINDOWS are covered by STEEL GATES. Liz wraps her fingers in the GATE.

LIZ (out at the street) Help! Help me!

Outside the WINDOW the air is clear and people come and go. Some are stopping to look up at the girl on the second floor who screams (but they can’t hear, of course) down at them as the FLAMES close in behind her.

PETER comes flying in with a FIRE EXTINGUISHER. He fumbles with it. FLASH pushes Thorkel, grabs the extinguisher away from him with a scowl of disdain.

LIZ turns to face the FLAMES. Suddenly there is an eruption of CO2 CLOUDS and the roar of a FIRE EXTINGUISHER.

The FLAMES are beaten down enough for her to leap out. FLASH is there, holding the EXTINGUISHER. People CHEER.

PETER Thanks for your help Flash.

FLASH No problem wimp.

PETER Our hero has a real way with words.

LIZ Oh, why don’t you grow up.

PETER is stung, insulted, turns away.

THORKEL This man will bring a disaster upon this university.

OCK comes in, starts his lecture calmly as if nothing has happened.

OCK The universe is made up of forces. and counter-forces. Science is the study of the forces!

FLASH hands the EXTINGUISHER to PETER. LIZ embraces FLASH, throwing a glimpse at PETER who tried so bravely. He looks away and turns the last of the EXTINGUISHER on the last of the FIRE.

OCK (continues without a hitch) But I. Professor Otto Octavius. have devoted my life to the study of the counter-forces! Good job, Peter.

PETER (taking place at lab table) Thanks, Professor.

THORKEL has walked slowly and uncomprehendingly toward the front of the huge LAB. He simply cannot believe OCK’S behavior.

THORKEL I don’t believe it, I simply don’t.

OCK Can we carry on Mr. Thorkel.

THORKEL I don’t believe. oh, all right carry on Professor.

OCK Well! This week my dear students I have made a stunning breakthrough.

THORKEL Wait a minute, wait a minute. you’ve got fire forms to fill out, Dr. Octavius.

OCK I have no time for forms, or administrators who persist in interrupting me, Mr. Thorkel.

THORKEL steams out and bangs shut the DOOR.

OCK I now believe its possible that these counter forces can be. collected. the way the magnifying glass collects the sunlight. and focused into a hard beam I call. Weiner!

WEINER backs away from the BLACKBOARD to reveal a word that OCK has scrawled in large letters. It says «Anti- Force.»

OCK I call it, the Anti-Force!

OCK is plugging a HUGE CABLE into a small LUCITE BOX with a SILVER BALL inside it.

OCK (continues as he works) This anti-force, once harnessed, is capable of undoing any natural force at which it is aimed. for instance. (looks up maniacally) Gravity!

LIZ scribbles down a note and mouths the word «gravity.» Then she turns to PETER.

LIZ (whispers) I’m sorry.

OCK is «playing» his COMPUTER like the Phantom of the Opera at the organ.

OCK We patch in the cyclotron.

The lights flicker and go dim.

OCK Pay no attention to the lights. I of course steal its energy, and it looses power. We patch in the cyclotron. and we gradually apply power. The power that I am stealing.

As the WHINE builds in the LAB.

OCK peers through the LUCITE BOX at us, distorted by it. The BOX is a miniature version of the cyclotron’s experimental chamber, and now the BLUE-WHITE glow begins. It crackles round the SILVER BALL.

OCK And so we stand, four square against the fundamental force that orders and maintains our universe. gravity. which is holding down this goddamn ball. Rise!

The LIGHTS go totally dark. The kids react with WHOOPS and CATCALLS.

HARRY What a crock.

PETER Shut up Harry. this is very interesting.

OCK Mr. Parker! Have you some. interesting observation you’d like to share with the class?

OCK Then shut up! And pay some attention to the experiment.

OCK peers at us through the LUCITE BOX as the SILVER BALL begins to rise. OCK’S face is ecstatic.

The SILVER BALL suddenly shoots up, shattering the top of the box. It flies up to the ceiling where it shatters a LIGHT FIXTURE.

The shards rain down on OCK who reaches out and catches the falling BALL and scales it in a raised fist.

OCK Now that’s what I call an experiment!

The CYCLOTRON WHINE cuts out and OCK wheels to the COMPUTER. He hits a KEY and several COLORED PROJECTION BEAMS lance out of the back of the room. They pierce the smoke and light a PROJECTION DISPLAY in the front.

TWO COLORED SPHERES one, YELLOW, one BLUE touch where their circumferences meet. Behind them is a BLACK depiction of «space».

OCK You are looking at a representation of two universes. Our Blue one. Our real universe. something we can touch and feel and see and draw calculations about. This is us. The Yellow universe. this is something else. Some other dimension. something. on the other side!

OCK hits another COMPUTER KEY and a hole appears where the TWO SPHERES touch. The BLUE AND THE YELLOW MARBLEIZE with each other. The colors swirl until both SPHERES are BRIGHT GREEN.

OCK If it were possible to generate enough power behind it, the anti-force could wipe out not just gravity. but all our universal forces at the same time. In effect. it would blast a hole between this universe and the next. Each. (indicates green spheres) would flow into each other. No blue universe. No yellow. End, finished, over.

LIZ (with a student’s ear) That sounds like a scenario for the end of the world.

OCK My girl, it is! It is. It would mean wiping out everything that’s known. and letting in everything that’s unknown.

FLASH Isn’t that a little dangerous?

OCK Don’t worry yourself, true inter- dimensional penetration is still purely theoretical, but one day. Maybe very near. maybe in the 21st century.

PETER, LIZ, FLASH and HARRY all take BOOKS from their LOCKERS.

LIZ (whispers to Peter) Look, it’s just. I don’t know. when you and Flash go after each other like that.

PETER (whispers) He’s not my type.

LIZ He doesn’t have to be.

LIZ And besides, he’s not all bad.

PETER looks at FLASH who’s a few LOCKERS down. FLASH has taken a FOOTBALL from his LOCKER and is spinning it on his finger with great joy and concentration.

PETER You don’t get nicknamed Flash because you’re a rocket scientist, Liz.

LIZ Give it up, Parker. You’d die for a nickname like Flash.

PETER Yeah, of embarrassment.

KIM comes by and leans seductively by her LOCKER. KIM is a ripe one and hot-hot-hot!

KIM (teasing) Hey, Flash. I’m scalping a pair of the Midnight Madness Wrestling Match tomorrow night.

FLASH The Slammies. I’d kill for that.

FLASH Well, uh, I. gee. if. can I tell you tomorrow?

KIM (moving on) You snooze, you lose. Hiya Liz.

LIZ Kim, you know Peter and Harry? This is my new roommate. Kim Nickson.

KIM is pulling her pet, a foot long SALAMANDER, out of her LOCKER. She wraps it around her neck and turns to the boys.

KIM (interested) Hellooo, Peter.

PETER (embarrassed) Hi.

LIZ We’re going to the Student Reunion Meeting. You coming?

Peter looks at KIM. Wow. Then he looks at LIZ who’s adjusting herself in a small MIRROR. HARRY jabs him in the ribs. Yeah, yeah!

PETER (frustrated) I can’t. I gotta go over to the Daily Bugle. I’m trying to sell some photos.

KIM Soooh, a photographer.

PETER Just an amateur. Well. nice meeting you, Kim.

KIM Yeah. I bet it would be.

HARRY Can I be your date for the reunion ShooShoo?

HARRY (she turns to go) What did I say.

LIZ It’s not what you said, it’s how you say it, ShooShoo!

Everybody leaves and Harry is left alone, he throws his bag down.

PETER turns to go and comes face to face with the hulking WEINER.

WEINER Peter, Doc Ock wants to see you.

PETER About my data I bet.

WEINER I don’t know.

PETER He knows about my work on the Planetary Conjunction, doesn’t he?

WEINER (lies) I don’t know.

PETER enters wide-eyed behind WEINER. This place is a far cry from the experiment in the LAB ROOM. It’s a fantastic netherworld to which no undergrad gains entrance. No one but PETER.

OCK is sitting in a swivel CHAIR with his back to PETER. He has the look of Captain Nemo in his Nautilus. This is OCK’S domain.

PETER Hello, Professor Octavius. (no response) I really admired your experiment.

OCK (back to Peter) We have a lot of interests in common, Peter. Perhaps we should put our heads together, if you know what I mean.

PETER (flattered) That would be. great.

OCK (turns with a smile) Now you take the Planetary Conjunction. This Saturday night we will witness Saturn, Jupiter, the Moon, the Earth, the Sun. all in a row. Never seen within the memory of man, or measured for its effect. The total gravitational force must be quite exceptional. Isn’t that the subject of your paper.

PETER Yes sir, I’ve worked out a new way to calculate the combined gravitational effect.

OCK I’m a busy man, Mr. Parker. But I think I could find the time to go over it with you. Make sure it all. checks out.

PETER Well. I’m sort of working with Professor Rosomorf and he suggested we kind of keep it between us. He thinks that my theory is. well, I don’t know.

OCK (to himself) The scoundrel. (turns angry) I want to see that data, Peter!

PETER But Professor Octavius. if I knew you were interested. sorry, I’ve already given it to. Professor Rosomorf, and he is after all the head of our Physics Department. and I couldn’t.

OCK turns sweet again. He smiles too broadly.

OCK Well, I’m certain something can be worked out. Run along, young man.

PETER begins to leave.

OCK Just a minute. how about if I show you my discoveries. something I never showed to any other student. as a matter of fact to anybody at all.

PETER Well I am really flattered, I mean I’d love to. but I.

OCK Very well shall we say if you come here tonight.

PETER But Professor I don’t now if I should.

OCK Make it eight sharp. I’ll be waiting for you. Right here.

Peter looks worried then leaves.

OCK turns to WEINER who slouches against the wall smiling.

OCK The same academic world that’s so keen to embrace that boy’s undergraduate work, ridicules my anti-force theory as quackery. I ask you, Weiner. what is our society coming to? Ha!

WEINER They are all a bunch of brainless assholes, that’s what I say.

OCK Weiner! Go get me that boy’s data!

WEINER Cost you fifty bucks.

OCK (Weiner hissing) Just get it. We’ll negotiate your fee when you have the data, alright Weiner?

Establish as ART DECO BUILDING well beyond its prime. A sign says: «The Daily Bugle.» Peter enters the building.

JAMESON (V.O.) Garbage! Absolute, 100% garbage!

Very forties, very messy. J. Jameson scans some PHOTOS as PETER stands helplessly by.

JAMESON Bag ladies. I hate bag ladies.

JAMESON is 50ish, grey at the temples, brush cut on top. He too is forties. His chewed up CIGAR is forties. This guy is a hard case.

JAMESON (looks at the other photos) Little kids. I hate little kids. This is a daily newspaper. We need news value photographs, not artsy-fartsy shit!

JAMESON comes to a picture of a BUSINESS SUITED MAN with a MOHAWK. PETER smiles in anticipation.

JAMESON Kid? You want a pro’s assessment?

JAMESON (handing photos back) Your photos suck. (cigar for emphasis) Parker, my readers are morons. I gotta grab them by the eyes. Every time you press the button of that Nikon of yours it costs you fifty-five cents. So the next time you’re about to take the plunge, ask yourself, am I taking dog bites man? Because if you are.

PETER I know, I know. You want man bites dog.

JAMESON Parker, this is the post modern 20th century. I want man eats dog! Get out!

A seedy east village walk up. Peter takes his camera and takes various shots of a wino. ALL IN. He climbs the stairs to his building, looks through the mail, he collects from a beaten down mailbox.

PETER (reading) Rent! Rent, more bills, rent. electricity, bills.

A one-room, shabby roof apartment, a chaos of books and papers. A photo enlarger and darkroom baths in kitchen pots; 8x10s tacked to the walls; a spare camera and lenses. Self-consciously wacky kitsch; plastic dinosaurs, wind-up toys, a stuffed carp. An unmade bed and a 50’s dinette set are the only furniture. A grimy skylight leads to the roof. It’s not a pretty place, but it has personality. A voice from the kitchen, a shadow of an intruder, is sneaking around.

PETER There’s nothing in there worth stealing!

MAY (V.O.) (from within the kitchen) That’s the understatement of the year.

PETER Aunt May, you’re trespassing.

MAY (comes in) I was just so desperately bored. I thought I’d come over and make you dinner.

PETER I am old enough to. to make my own—

MAY But I didn’t feel like getting to know your roaches.

PETER I’ll introduce you.

MAY Oh. And those foul chemicals in the pots.

PETER I take pictures, remember?

MAY Anyway, I’ve decided to kidnap you for dinner in Forest Hills.

She grabs her coat, crosses back to Peter and tugs on his shoulder.

PETER It’s Friday night.

MAY Yes. Do you have a date?

It is dark and empty except for COMPUTERS. Sitting at it, lit by the GLOW of its screen, is SOLOMON ROSOMORF (ROZ).

As he works, a DOOR opens behind him. Someone walks quietly through the LAB. ROSOMORF keeps working. The intruder approaches.

THORKEL (at his ear) Professor Rosomorf, what happened here?

ROZ Someone tried to rob me of some paper. I suspect they were looking for that one.

THORKEL What is it?

ROZ (unruffled) Award winning stuff. (turning slightly) Peter Parker’s data on the Planetary Conjunction. Damn lucky I hid it in my computer under another title.

THORKEL My God, what’s going on in our school? First Professor Octavius almost blows up the Physics lab. Now this. You report it in triplicate, of course.

ROZ Thorkel, be careful when you talk to Octavius. Remember. the man is a very fragile genius. One day he’ll bring us all the Noble Prize.

THORKEL Rosomorf, the man is a very dangerous crackpot!

Off screen the voice of the CYCLOTRON WHINE begins to build.

ROZ That’s him again. He’s working day and night.

THORKEL I tell you the man is very dangerous. (the whine grows louder) Come on Rosomorf, let’s stop him before this building will explode.

OCK and WEINER are at work as before. OCK takes no notice of the TWO MEN who come in, nor the WORKER who comes in behind them and sets to work attaching a BIG LOCK to the door.

THORKEL Shut it down, Octavius.

OCK ignores him. WEINER touches OCK’S shoulder. OCK ignores him too.

THORKEL You’ve blown half the circuits in the Science Center.

OCK Call an electrician.

THORKEL I have called the locksmith.

OCK What. what is he doing.

He points toward the worker who’s working on the lock on the main door.

THORKEL We have to shut your lab down and take a look at the lines.

ROZ Please, Otto, we must lock it up.

OCK (to Thorkel) You’re denying me access to my cyclotron?!

OCK glares back and forth between the TWO MEN, the WORKER, and WEINER. Then he pulls BACK the RED POWER THROTTLE. The WHINE descends.

The WALDOS pull back and dangle from their panel. The WHINE dies.

OCK (contemplating) Okey, dokey. just give me till tomorrow. I want to clean up my papers. Tomorrow. Ha. Tomorrow you can have this room.

ROZ Oh. well Thorkel. few more hours won’t make a difference.

He signals to the worker to stop.

The N.Y. Mets are playing baseball on T.V. PETER watches with his UNCLE BEN, a paunchy 65 years old in POLYESTER SLACKS and a COMFY OLD SWEATER. A N.Y. METS CAP is perched on BEN’S head. A BEER CAN is in his hand. A cluttered but familiar living room sprawls comfortably around them.

BEN Another brewski?

PETER No, I’m fine, Uncle Ben.

BEN (at T.V.) Yah! Way to do it. Alright! (to Peter) You don’t follow the Mets like you used to, do you, Pete?

PETER No, not so much anymore.

BEN Funny. When your Mom and Dad, uh, passed away. I had this idea. I wanted you to be the best baseball player that ever was. Geez, what ever happened to that?

PETER Little league.

BEN (soft and warm) Yeah. Babe Ruth you wasn’t.

AUNT MAY It’s on the table! Turn off the TV!

BEN nods, rises sluggishly and slowly, and turns the sound off only. PETER moves toward his AUNT in the doorway.

AUNT MAY How’s that girl you told us about, Peter?

PETER Liz? She’s great. But she has a boyfriend.

PETER passes AUNT MAY and takes his seat.

AUNT MAY A boy your age should have a girlfriend.

PETER Aunt May. she has a steady boyfriend.

AUNT MAY Peter, any girl that’s worth your attention is of course gonna have a boyfriend. But if she really gets to know what you have to offer she’ll. you get my drift?

BEN Look, just leave him alone, okay. When he’s ready for girls he’ll be a holy terror. (winks) It’s in the blood. (now serious business) Lookit, how are you fixed for money, Pete? Maybe I can help you out a little.

PETER (lying to them) No, I’m alright. My scholarship covers almost everything, and I sell some photos here and there. Today my physics professor asked for some of my work. he wants to study my data. They might publish my work in the science magazine. that’ll bring me some money.

BEN (practically cheering) Publish your work?! You hear that May.

PETER (embarrassed laughs) Yeah, in fact I have to leave a little early tonight, to meet Professor Octavius. He offered me to be his assistant.

BEN Whoa! Did you hear that May.

AUNT MAY Oh, Peter, you promised you’d spend the night.

PETER I. I can’t, Aunt May. Professor Octavius wants to discuss my new findings.

AUNT MAY (disappointed) Peter, what you should be finding. is a nice girlfriend.

WEINER is eating a large SANDWICH and a drinking a COKE.

OCK I’ll show them. closing the cyclotron on me. Weiner!

WEINER Yes, Professor.

OCK Where is he? It’s ten past eight o’clock.

WEINER (with mouth full) That must be him.

PETER Good evening.

OCK You are late. (to Weiner) Weiner, go outside and get us something to eat. And don’t steal it! Just buy it. I’ll reimburse you.

WEINER (to Peter) Do you want anything Parker?

PETER No thank you, I just had dinner at my aunt’s.

OCK Piss off, Weiner!

WEINER leaves. PETER wanders around.

He goes into the experimental chamber, he overlooks the SPIDER which is scuttling away and crawls inside the open WINDOW. and into the chamber.

OCK Okey, dokey, Parker. how would you like to take Weiner’s place. I mean, be my assistant?

PETER Well, Professor, that would be a great honor, but I’m already working with.

OCK Rosomorf. that imbecile. Don’t you understand, kid, that I am about to uncover the greatest discovery since Einstein came up with his theory of relativity. The «Anti-Force.»

PETER Wow! The theory of the Anti-force! You should go for the Noble Prize Professor.

OCK Noble Shmoble, I am going for a much bigger prize kid. Okey, dokey. Let me show you, kid, what I got here.

OCK begins the experiment. We move in past the shattered WINDOW. We see the SPIDER crawling on the chamber’s GEAR.

OCK Present maximum anti-force power to date is 38 percent of theoretical limit. I have patched in the variable particle-wave accelerator. (shrugs) I will now try to reach 50% power. (big breath) And if your paper has any value. I can use it to get the power I’m missing to create the anti-force, to break through and beat any other form of power in our or any other universe, capish!

PETER Sorry, Professor, I can’t do it. I gave my word to Professor Rosomorf.

OCK is angry. Ock now sees the SPIDER. He shoots out a WALDO to try and crush it but the SPIDER is too fast. The WALDO slams against the wall of the chamber. He starts to push every button or switch in sight. A deafening whining starts.

An URGENT WARNING TONE causes OCK to look at the «Relative Gravity» DIAL. It is at «4.999999KG» but suddenly the numbers start to tumble rapidly.

INSERT: The glowing 5KG WEIGHT.

INSERT: The POWER DIAL inches toward 50% POWER!

OCK (screaming) 50 percent. anti-force. 50 percent. that’s all I’m missing! Parker, we can be rich together!

PETER Sorry. I’d better go now.

OCK (really angry now) You’ll be sorry, Parker.

Another URGENT WARNING TONE causes OCK to look at the monitor SCREEN. On it, flashing RED, is the word, «OVERLOAD!» OCK pushes the RED POWER THROTTLE forward! The WHINE increases to a PULSE and THROB.

Incredibly lit, the SPIDER is dropping on it’s shimmering WEB-STRAND down toward the 5KG WEIGHT which now GLOWS in time with the THROB and PULSE.

OCK You! Get out of there, you creeping.

He tries to shove the SPIDER with his hand.

Through the BLUE-WHITE we can barely make out OCK on the other side if the shattered WINDOW. He sends TWO WALDOS after the SPIDER. The SPIDER evades him and jumps onto the PROFESSOR’s back. It then climbs onto the PROFESSOR’s neck and bites him.

OCK (anguish) Noooooooooooo!

OCK begins to float. His shirt begins to tear away. A DIAL floats by with its pulled WIRES undulating like a Medusa. WALDOS smash through the walls and flail like snakes. OCK’S YELLOW THERMOS distorts and EXPLODES!

OCK, his hair wild, face locked in a multi-G grimace, is pinned halfway up a wall that is showering the room with SPARKS.

OCK (ecstasy above the din) It’s an energy storm! Okey! Dokey!

We see clearly the SPIDER still stuck to his neck.

The big beast buffets and shakes. Tubes, junctions, valves and whatnot fall off, crashing to the floor where they twitch and writhe with a life of their own.

Then, an enormous EXPLOSION rips a large hole in the CYCLOTRON’s side, sending debris and a HUNDRED MICRO- STREAMS of ELECTRONIC PARTICLES lancing in our direction.

Ultimate weirdness! The PULSING BLUE-WHITE LIGHT penetrates first the DOOR of the CYCLOTRON ROOM and then the very walls! LOCKERS bang, LAMPS POP, the ceiling sags in a SURREAL, RUBBERY way.

The WALLS sag too! The CYCLOTRON SIGN pivots and embeds itself in a WALL. A LADDER sinks in the WALL. The BLUE- WHITE LIGHT dances wildly about in PULSES. Then, suddenly, it stops. DEAD SILENCE. WEINER comes running in holding a double decker sandwich and a large bottle of Pepsi. Weiner enters OCK’S lab, singing, not at first noticing what’s going on. Suddenly he stops dead.

A scene out of DALI’s surrealistic canvas. There are things inside of other things. DIALS look like DALI watches. This place has been rippled to the max!

OCK lays face up, unconscious on the floor, a WALDO across his chest. The SPIDER is weaving its web. CAMERA slowly DOWN to see OCK. PIPES and WIRES are stuck to his body. The WALDO seems to be wrapping him. He wakes up to see those MECHANICAL ARMS buried in his body. They weave around him as if they are looking for prey. He tries to tear them out, but they seem to be a part of his body, like his other limbs. He screams. Suddenly Weiner sees OCK.

WEINER Professor. what happened to you? What did you do.

Suddenly one of the waldos hits him so strongly that he flies back and out through the door to the corridor.

WEINER Oh my God. what happened here.

He hears the police sirens approaching, he runs away.

WEINER I better get out of here.

The long SCREAM segues to a POLICE SIREN. A COP CAR pulls to a halt in front of the COLLEGE. Many NYPD CARS are already there, along with a NUCLEAR REGULATORY VAN, some AMBULANCES, a VAN from the ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY and TWO TV VANS. ROZ runs across the lawn.

POLICE STRUGGLE to hold back the crowd of press, students and general gawkers.

J. JAMESON pushes to the front of the mob in time to see TWO COPS hustle a BUGLE PHOTOGRAPHER back into it.

The MAN shakes his head. JAMESON throws down his CIGAR, stomps it, and pulls out a fresh one. THORKEL arrives to address the CROWD.

THORKEL (through bull horn) There is no danger. Please go back to your dorms. I repeat, there is no danger.

JAMESON (approaches him) Spill it out, Professor! The public wants to know!

The CROWD closes on THORKEL.

THORKEL Who are you?

JAMESON Jameson, Daily Bugle, Chief Editor, now what really happened here?

THORKEL There will be a press announcement in the morning Mr. Jameson. now if you’ll excuse me.

This elicits a flood of AD LIBS: «I heard a terrible explosion?» «Nuclear accidents?» «Meltdown?» «Genetic engineering?» «Are you guys making mutants in there?»

THORKEL I have nothing to say. there will be an announcement. Now, please go home. everybody. we must clear the grounds.

In the back of the crowd are PETER, HARRY, LIZ, FLASH and KIM.

FLASH You think they’ll cancel classes?

HARRY They must. the whole building must be contaminated with some kind of poisonous gas.

PETER How about nuclear contaminations?

KIM My God. lets beat it.

LIZ (more interested in other things) Could anyone be in there, Peter?

PETER (concerned) I don’t know. Maybe Professor Octavius. He usually works late.

FLASH That nut, I bet it was all his doing.

JAMESON (seeing Peter) Hey Parker! Peter Parker!

PETER pushes forward.

PETER Mr. Jameson! What are you doing here? What’s going on?

JAMESON That’s for them to know, and for you to find out.

PETER But sir, they wouldn’t tell us. You heard Thorkel. he said.

JAMESON A press announcement tomorrow. But we must know tonight Parker. This is your university, right.

JAMESON You got your camera?

PETER Sure, but I can’t—

JAMESON A hundred dollars says you can?

JAMESON Get inside and get pictures, fifty bucks.

PETER You just said a hundred.

JAMESON Seventy, but I want blood and gore.

PETER (calling back) Seeya guys.

He dashes off. FLASH shakes his head in dismay at this guy.

LIZ Where is he going?

JAMESON To make fifty bucks.

PETER approaches a CYCLONE FENCE keeping low and out of sight. He leaps it like a skirmisher but fails ignominiously in a heap. He’s torn his PANTS and cut his leg. He moves to the side of the building.

A DUMPSTER sits next to a FIRE DOOR. It’s locked. As PETER mulls over his next move, the LOCK clicks and the DOOR slowly opens. PETER leaps on the DUMPSTER. and falls in.

PETER lays in the GARBAGE, a pained look on his face. He rolls over and comes face to face with a wet DAILY BUGLE. The headline reads, «Wave of Violence Rips City!» He pulls himself up and peers out.

He sees a UNIFORMED GUARD hold the DOOR open for THREE MEN IN RADIATION SUITS who remove some weirdly fused objects. When they let the DOOR swing closed, PETER stops it by inserting the NEWSPAPER in the top.

PETER squeezes inside and jumps to knock out the NEWSPAPER. The Door closes behind him.

Skewed, strange, surreal, PETER stares at the weirdness and fumbles with his CAMERA. He snaps off a few shots, then freezes when he hears a familiar voice.

ROZ (V.O.) (filtered through face mask) Take it easy. Take it easy with him.

THORKEL (V.O.) Take him away and never bring him back!

Now we see ROZ and THORKEL following 2 GUARDS carrying OCK in a stretcher. They all wear RADIATION SUITS. A waldo sneaks out from under the sheet and hits Thorkel, as fast as lightning. He falls back. He’s covered with a SHEET and attached to LIFE SUPPORT EQUIPMENT. Octavius moans.

THORKEL What was that?

THORKEL What hit me?

THORKEL I don’t know. It was so fast.

ROZ You’re going to be fine, Otto.

PETER gets off a shot and ducks into the MEN’S room leaving the DOOR ajar for a peak.

A WALDO slips down from the SHEET. PETER’S eyes go wide at the sight. What in the hell has happened here?

The URINALS are twisted in bizarre shapes. PIPES are exposed and spout WATER. The MIRRORS look like something out of a funhouse. PETER hears the STRETCHER go by.

PETER goes to the DOOR of OCK’S Lab and cracks it. PAN up to the SPIDER, GLOWING softly, dangling from a SHIMMERING STRAND above PETER.

As PETER looks out at the STRETCHER, the SPIDER drops on his neck. He reacts by swatting it away. Bad move.

The GLOWING SPIDER now squats malevolently on the back of PETER’s hand. He stares at it transfixed. It bites.

PETER throws the SPIDER to the ripply tile floor where it scuttles unsteadily out the door.

Sweat starts to bead on PETER’S face. He shakes his head to clear it. His vision becomes uncertain. He lurches against a WEIRD SINK.

PETER’S POV is not just uncertain, not just fuzzy, not just moving in and out anamorphically. It’s all of that!

GUARD (V.O.) (heavily distorted) Hey! What are you doing here, kid?

PETER turns to see a UNIFORMED GUARD distorted by his crazy vision.

PETER I feel a little funny.

GUARD (heavily distorted) Yeah? Well, I ain’t laughing. Get out. Just get out of here.

It bangs open. The GUARD throws PETER out and then throws his BACK PACK at him.

GUARD (still distorted) You get yourself over to the Police lines.

PETER (ultra wooz) Right. Police lines.

PETER melds into the crowd. As in a dream, JAMESON appears at his side.

JAMESON (distorted) Okay, scoop, whaddaya got?

PETER I. got pictures of the Professor. in there. it’s so strange in there. so bizarre.

JAMESON (winks) Good job, kid. Bizarre is what we need. Pick this up in the morning. (holding up his camera) There’ll be two crisp twenties tucked inside.

He hurries off. PETER peers after him and all of a sudden his vision corrects to a perfect focus. The sweat is gone. He’s okay. He makes his way through the crowd to the street.

We TRACK with PETER as the madding throng recedes behind him. He turns a corner. He hears a SIREN.

An AMBULANCE screeches around the corner. It nearly hits PETER who leaps to avoid it.

PETER’S cheek is pressed against the brick. He opens his eyes and sees that he’s hanging onto the side of the building like a spider. And he’s three stories up!

He looks down and sees the street thirty feet below him! And the Ambulance which he jumped over is driving away.

He tries a downward step, but a BRICK dislodges and crashes to the sidewalk. He takes an upward step. And then another.

Tentatively at first, and then with growing confidence, he «crawls» to the roof of the building. At the top he gropes for a RAILING and slips. He dangles eight stories above the street. Then, with a grunt, he vaults to the roof one-handed.

PETER is flat on his back, staring at the stars. He sits up and looks wonderingly at his hands.

On the back of his right hand are TWO PUNCTURE WOUNDS surrounded by a faint BLUE-WHITE PULSING GLOW. The GLOW disappears.

PETER (mutters to himself) This is weird. My God, I feel so weird.

He leaps to his feet. He flexes. Feels weird. Good Weird. In fact, great weird! He tries a couple of «jumping jacks» and on the third jump he soars into the air!

PETER (exhilarated) Very weird.

The great, bespangled, NEW YORK CITY is his backdrop as PETER jumps and turns and does loops in the air.

With the agility and tactility of a spider, PETER leaps from the RAILING to a WALL to a FLAG POLE to another WALL where he lands sideways and sticks.

PETER (sideways) Very, very weird.

He leaps off the WALL and lands at the edge of the roof. He looks down. No one’s looking back. So, he takes a step back and leaps the alley to the next roof.

PETER lands on it. The next roof is seven stories up and across the street. PETER bites his lip.

PETER Well, what the hell!!

Backlit by a FULL MOON, PETER somersaults to the roof of the taller building, and misses the top!

He sticks to the brick FACADE, upside down! He laughs with the moment. A WINDOW opens below him and a pretty BLONDE in a TOWEL sticks her head out. She looks this way and that, and all she sees is a MAN in a LOUD SPORTCOAT down the street. Never thinking to look up, she withdraws into the room.

The MAN in the LOUD SPORTCOAT leans against a LAMP POST and lights a CIGARETTE with a BEAT UP, SILVER PLATED LIGHTER.

In the LIGHTER he sees a reflection of PETER leaping off the taller building. He snaps around and looks up in time to see PETER make it to the next FACADE.

With the UPTOWN SKYLINE behind him, PETER casts caution to the wind and leaps from rooftop to rooftop.

Watching from the street, the MAN in the LOUD SPORTCOAT follows PETER’S progress.

PETER leaps to a BROWNSTONE and lands amid the WASH.

He leaps up to a TENEMENT and lands on a BILLBOARD across which he does a «bug crawl» and leaps again.

He touches down on a PIGEON COOP and bounds up and out of frame again. The COOP OWNER, a LATINO in an undershirt and a YANKEES CAP, comes running out of the COOP.

He’s so surprised that he leaves the DOOR open and twenty WHITE MORNING DOVES fly away in a furious flapping, free at last. The LATINO lets out a stream of Hispanic expletives complete with all the appropriately obscene gestures.

PETER slides down a CABLE to a LAMP POST, and swirls down the POLE to a PHONE BOOTH.

PETER comes face to face with the man in the LOUD SPORTCOAT. He gives PETER his CARD.

REISS You’re a kid who’s going places, and I’m gonna point you the right way.

PETER (reading card) Max Reiss, models, strip dancers, escort girls, blue movies.

REISS Oops. sorry, wrong card. (exchanges cards)

PETER Max Reiss, Talent management.

REISS It’s a big outfit. Got a lot of departments.

PETER Yeah. well. why you approach me? I’m not.

REISS Oh yes you are. very talented. The three questions of show business success. One do you think you possess a unique talent?

REISS Two. what are you gonna do with it?

PETER (not a clue) Well. I don’t know.

REISS (the clincher) Three. how much money you got in your pocket?

REISS You invest half of that with me and I’ll make you a star.

PETER (laughing) What are you talking about?

REISS I’m talking about fame. I’m talking about fortune. I’m talking about the chance of a lifetime. How’d you like to be on MTV tomorrow night?

PETER MTV. Me? Really?

It screeches to a stop.

REISS (getting in) Kid! Tomorrow night. Same place, same time.

PETER (calling after) How do you know I’ll show up?

As the TAXI roars off.

REISS (from the taxi window) Because you wanna be a star. everybody does.

PETER pulls out a QUARTER. And enters a phone booth. He dials.

PETER Hello? Aunt May?

AUNT MAY (V.O.) (filtered) Peter? What time is it? Are you alright?

PETER Well, no, I mean yeah I’m fine, but listen. Aunti, the craziest thing happened to me tonight.

As UNCLE BEN stirs fitfully

AUNT MAY (lovingly) Does this have to do with a certain girl we talked about at dinner?

PETER No, no, look, there was this radioactive experiment. I was poisoned!

AUNT MAY You were what?

PETER I was bitten by a bug.

AUNT MAY Oh! I get it, you mean a love bug.

PETER No. No. A spider.

AUNT MAY Peter, did you at least talk to her?

PETER Aunt May, listen to me. I got bitten on the hand. by a poisonous spider.

AUNT MAY She bit you?

PETER No. I was in the bathroom and.

AUNT MAY Oh, you did it in the bathroom? Peter, this is craziness, why don’t you use your bed? You’re up all night. You’re in the radioactive labs. You never take time to eat or sleep. Am I right?

PETER Yes, Aunt May.

AUNT MAY (V.O.) Did you eat something today?

PETER Yes, Aunt May.

AUNT MAY (V.O.) Okay, Peter go back to bed, and remember we love you.

PETER And I love you too, Aunt May. (hangs up) And by the way, I got a mess of super powers today.

Exit booth. He BANGS the PHONE BOOTH. Goes out and— jumps lightly onto the phone booth roof.

OCK is prepped for surgery. GOWNED PERSONNEL hurry about with a feverish urgency. The CHIEF SURGEON checks the SENSORS attached to OCK’S head. These seasoned professionals are astonished and frightened.

CHIEF SURGEON (whispers) Look at these brainwave readings. The mental activity is ten times of any normal man.

BRAINMAN (whispers) Equipment malfunction.

CHIEF SURGEON (whispers) Hell, yeah. his. (checks Ock’s chest) My God. I thought I’d seen everything.

SURGEON #2 (whispers) But this is beyond medicine. This is madness.

OCK lays bare chested, face up, all FOUR WALDOS splayed. He is a true cyborg. Part man, part machine. Part organic, part molybdenum steel.

NURSE (leaning in, blitzed) It is so freaky.

CHIEF SURGEON (stern for the staff’s sake) Okay, lets stop yakking and get cracking. I want to go in at the upper thoracic. Then we’ll work our way around. (slaps Ock’s shoulder) Hang in there, man.

INSERT: The WALDO nearest the slap moves ever so slightly. The triangular CLAW rotates a quarter turn and then turns back.

The NURSE sees it and SCREAMS.

CHIEF SURGEON (glares) Nurse! Number seven scalpel. Arthroscope stand by. Read out parameters in progress. Let’s go in. You alright?

NURSE Yes. Yes, of course. Everything’s online.

CHIEF SURGEON Scalpel! No. no. a larger one. the largest we have!

She slaps a HUGE ONE into his palm. He takes a deep breath and goes to work. MASKED heads gather round him.

The SCALPEL is poised at the line where skin meets steel. We make an incision. The INSTRUMENTS go crazy. WARNING BELLS and BUZZERS sound.

HEAD NURSE Kill the alarms!

BRAINMAN He’s going off the chart!

A WALDO flashes around the steel leg of the operating TABLE and clanks tight!

CHIEF SURGEON Mop. Mop! Sutures and clamps! Hurry up!

SURGEON #2 We’re losing him. Defibrillate!

A HEART MACHINE is rushed in. They work frantically.

CHIEF SURGEON Zap him!

BRAINMAN Stabilizing alpha waves.

SURGEON #2 applies the CARDIAC SHOCK PADS.

NURSE You have a visitor, Doctor.

She leaves OCK and THORKEL alone.

THORKEL (enjoying this) Octavius, I’m afraid I have bad news for you.

OCK The cyclotron is damaged.

THORKEL What used to be the cyclotron was permanently shut down this afternoon.

THORKEL Your work is a disaster! Look at yourself!

OCK Myself? I don’t matter. Nobody matters anymore. To enter a new dimension we must first destroy our own.

THORKEL What are you saying?

OCK gets off his bed throwing away his sheet waving with his 4 WALDOS and 2 arms.

OCK Destroy life. Life is. insignificant. Bags of sleepy, sluggish flesh. What would you say?

THORKEL Oh, my God, what are those horrible things sticking from your body?

OCK (gets more and more excited) Thorkel, if I told you that for one moment in time I broke all the laws! For one brief glorious moment, I broke through to the other side. I saw. I felt. I became creation.

THORKEL What on Earth are you rambling about?

OCK Destiny. My destiny! I see it all so clearly now. Universal destruction, yes. All I need is the power. then I can destroy this illusion you call life. It is my destiny to lead us to the light!

THORKEL You’re a madman.

OCK And you are a fool. I will end the universe as you know it. And in that final moment. I’ll laugh my ass off while you’re kissing yours goodbye!

THORKEL (excited) Goodbye is right, Octavius. You’re fired. sacked. canned. You are history, Doctor Octavius. And I couldn’t be more pleased to be the first to tell you this good news.

A WALDO shoots up and grabs THORKEL by the throat. He GASPS and SCREAMS silently as the telescoping WALDO lifts him off his feet. He rises until his head is just inches from the ceiling.

THORKEL (his last words) Let me down Ock. you crazy. MONSTER! Let me down!

Then OCK smiles and slams THORKEL’S head through the ceiling. PLASTER rains down. THORKEL’S legs scissor and kick and then go limp. OCK throws his dead body on to the bed, and covers him with the WHITE SHEETS.

Through the WINDOW of the TAXI we see MADISON SQUARE GARDEN.

As it pulls up, a sign reads, «Midnight Madness! MTV’s Rock and Wrestling ‘SLAMMY Awards!» The TAXI come to a stop.

PETER (looking up at the sign) MTV Wrestling?!

REISS (getting out) That’s the place. Pay the man.

MAX REISS gets out, he is carrying a BOX.

PETER Look, Mr. Reiss. I’m not real interested in watching a wrestling match.

REISS Who said anything about watching a wrestling match? You’re here to win a wrestling match!

PETER Me? You must be kidding.

REISS hustles PETER inside.

REISS You hop around. You know, the way you did last night. Your opponent gets tired. He falls down. The ref counts to three, you win, and we pick up a thousand bucks.

We can hear the CROWD screaming at something in the background as REISS leads PETER to an employee WASHROOM and shows him the BOX.

REISS You’re really gonna love this.

PETER Look, really, I don’t know.

REISS You don’t have to know. I know enough for both of us. (pause) Change in there.

PETER What is this?

REISS A costume. something that fits your talent. Go put it on. I’m sure you’ll like it.

He slaps the BOX against PETER’S chest and all but pushes him inside.

PETER takes the suit out of the BOX. It is the SPIDER-MAN SUIT! He looks at it and shrugs. Then he begins to struggle into it.

PETER is looking at himself in the MIRROR. He is dressed in all but the MASK. And he looks terrific! He flexes. He smoothes his hair. He’s starting to get into it.

CRUSHER COLE is destroying an opponent.

REISS winces as the CROWD CHEERS and BOOS.

PETER (comes out) How does it look? I feel like it’s Halloween.

REISS Cover your face with the mask.

REISS Mystery, my friend. Nobody should know who you are.

CRUSHER COLE is doing a big flexing number and the CROWD is going wild. There are MTV CAMERAS and SIGNS and BANNERS proclaiming the «SLAMMIES» everywhere.

RING ANNOUNCER And now, a new challenger, for the thousand dollar fight, weighing in at one hundred and fifty pounds. from parts unknown! Here is the Amazing. Mysterious. Incredible Superman.

REISS (snorts from ringside, hating the name) No, not Superman. Spider-Man. SPIDER-MAN.

The CROWD BOOS the slender newcomer who climbs awkwardly through the ropes. Rock music blares. TWIN REDHEADS in RED BIKINIS ring a bell.

CRUSHER COLE and SPIDER-MAN circle. COLE is twice SPIDEY’S size. SPIDEY spots a TV CAMERA for the first time. He momentarily freezes. CRUSHER sneers the CRUSHER sneer. Then he charges!

With the agility of a spider, SPIDEY leaps out of the way. CRUSHER comes back at him. SPIDEY leaps again, bigger!

The acrobatics get more and more dramatic as CRUSHER COLE works himself up into a theatrical rage. Taunts erupt from the CROWD.

OLD LADY Kill the sucker, Crusher!

SPIDEY, really getting into it now, begins playing for the CAMERAS.

HIPSTER (between two blondes) Whatsamatter, Crusher, can’t you crush that bug?

CRUSHER (to Spidey) Okay, Web Face, this is it!

He misses SPIDEY again!

HIPSTER Hey, Crusher, you need a insecticide! (his blondes titter)

LIZ’S side is all schoolwork. KIM’S side is all ROCK POSTERS and STUFFED ANIMALS. LIZ is curled up doing homework. FLASH and KIM sit on the edge of the bed watching the «SLAMMIES» on MTV.

FLASH Will you look at this Spider-Man guy! He is absolutely incredible!

KIM Liz, get a load of this outfit! I wish I had it for the Halloween party. it’s quite sexy.

LIZ Will you two shush. I’m trying to work.

The match continues in an increasingly spectacular choreography. CRUSHER bellows at the SCREAMING CROWD. But there’s a gleam in his eye. This is it!

He charges. SPIDEY, playing the CAMERAS for all he’s worth, leaps way, way up. But this time CRUSHER stops dead in his tracks. SPIDER-MAN comes back down into a forearm SMASH that sends him reeling into a corner.

CRUSHER does a flying pin. 300 pounds. WOMP! The air leaves SPIDEY in a rush as CRUSHER covers him, smothering him. The CROWD goes WILD.

REISS Get up. Get up.

Not realizing his own strength and panicky about being squashed, SPIDER-MAN throws CRUSHER COLE off him and up into the air. Way up! Reiss cheers. Spider-Man comes down and knocks CRUSHER for the first time.

CRUSHER flies away and out of the arena, eight rows back! The HIPSTER sees CRUSHER coming at him and bolts from his seat. CRUSHER lands on it, in between the TWO BLONDES who break into utter hysterics.

SPIDEY, surprised at his own strength, watches CRUSHER land.

SPIDER-MAN (whispers to himself) Wow.

REF Ladies and Gentlemen, history is made today, we have here the first man to win a thousand dollars against the mighty Crusher.

The REF raises his hand in victory. The CROWD BOOS and DEBRIS rains down. But some in the CROWD CHEER wildly, recognizing the new sensation.

SPIDER-MAN steps down from the right as REISS leads the CHEERS.

PETER Max! Am I really gonna get a thousand.

REISS We are going to get a thousand—

PETER turns with REISS and comes face to face with CRUSHER COLE. Two ominous beats.

CRUSHER Hi, who are you, kid?

PETER I’m Peter Parker.

REISS He is Spider-Man, and I handle him. Whenever you want a rematch call me. Next time it’s gonna be ten thousand, what do you say. Crusher?

SPIDER-MAN Oh, look, Mr. Crusher, I’m really sorry about what happened in there. Really.

CRUSHER Oh, well, I don’t know what happened to me tonight. (measures his muscles) I really don’t know.

REISS I know. you lost. Big man you lost to the Amazing Spider-Man.

WE ARE TIGHT ON A NEW YORK JOURNAL TRUCK. On its SIDE BANNER is a PICTURE of SPIDER-MAN’S face. Headline: «Who is he? Mega-Smash Hits MTV!»

The TRUCK pulls away and we see PETER, LIZ, HARRY and KIM standing on the sidewalk waiting to cross. PETER is rocking on his heels and smirking.

PETER (indicating truck) You know who that is?

LIZ (walking ahead) Yeah. he’s some clown we saw on TV last night. boy does Flash think he’s hot.

KIM I love wrestling.

HARRY Wrestling is all bluff. Do you really believe this little guy in a stupid Spider-Man suit beat the Crusher?

LIZ Hey, we better rush. visiting hours will be over soon.

The NURSE leads PETER and LIZ and HARRY into the room.

NURSE Doctor Octavius? You have visitors. Doctor Octavius?

We hold for a beat. When LIZ takes a step forward to look around we expect the worst. But nothing grabs her.

PETER sees a pile of PLASTER on the floor. He looks up and sees the hole in the ceiling. LIZ and HARRY look up too. OCK is not there.

PETER Ock is not here!

LIZ My God, what happened?

NURSE I’d better call the doctor!

HARRY You’d better call the police!

OCK, hiding his WALDOS under a white hospital robe. He stalls until he reaches the door. Then one of his WALDOS peaks out and snaps open the new locks on the door.

OCK, in a white hospital robe walks through the surreal debris. Two WALDOS reach out and «sense» the ripples on opposite WALLS. He runs a hand through his hair.

OCK What a wreck. What a useless, wasted wreck. Okey, dokey. We rebuild you, my damaged darling. Bigger, better, hotter! A world class, super cyclotron!

He hears a NOISE behind him and reacts. And here comes WEINER. Bedraggled, shuffling through the CONTROL ROOM door. He eyeballs the incredible wreckage.

WEINER There you are, doc. where have you been. whoa this place is messed up.

OCK turns, WALDOS writhing. WEINER sees them and kind of ducks, remembering how he was hit by them once.

WEINER (smirks) Whoa, doc! You look a little messed up yourself.

OCK Where have you been, you imbecile?

WEINER I went to the wrestling.

WEINER I went after the kid. You still want that Parker guy’s data, don’t you?

OCK Well, did you get it?

WEINER No, I followed him. but I lost him in the crowd.

WEINER I’ll find him, Maestro. I promise. soon. maybe by tomorrow.

OCK So how was the wrestling?

WEINER Fantastic! There was this new wrestler. beat the mighty Crusher. You won’t believe it. a nothing of a guy. calls himself this stupid name. the Amazing Spider-Man. would you believe it?

OCK Spider-Man, huh? Well, maybe I’ll just go and wrestle myself one of these days. with all my new arms. I’m sure I can beat Crusher or any other monster.

Suddenly OCK throws out his WALDOS from under his long white coat, grabs WEINER and, lifts him up in the air, smiles cynically and with cruelty!

OCK Will I beat him, this Crusher, will I beat him or not?

WEINER No. no, please. I mean yes, yes. you’ll beat him easily. let me down. Please. I’ll do anything for you.

OCK The Parker data. get me the Parker data, you hear.

A CAMERA is mounted on a TRIPOD facing us. A TIMER winds down and it CLICKS.

SPIDER-MAN is clinging to the side of a WALL.

SPIDER-MAN And one like this. (changing pose) And one looking real sincere.

The WHITE EYES narrow to a slit. CLICK.

Suddenly he spots WEINER climbing onto his roof. He hides.

WEINER tiptoes into the roof apartment. SPIDER-MAN jumps in and grabs him.

SPIDER-MAN What are you doing here?

WEINER I’m looking for Peter Parker.

SPIDER-MAN Oh, yes. so why not use the front door?

SPIDER-MAN throws him back onto the roof so that he almost slides over the edge. WEINER turns, facing SPIDER-MAN.

WEINER Hey, I know you.

WEINER I saw you crushing the Crusher.

SPIDER-MAN You like wrestling?

SPIDER-MAN jumps and reaches WEINER.

WEINER I love it! You are the best wrestler I have ever seen. please don’t hurt me!

SPIDER-MAN picks up WEINER, throws him up to an antenna above the building, to which WEINER clings desperately. SPIDER-MAN circles the antenna.

WEINER Oh, please. don’t kill me. Please help me down.

SPIDER-MAN Of course I’ll help you down. I am Spider-Man. the good guy, am I not?

WEINER Yes. yes, you are.

SPIDER-MAN jumps to the CHIMNEY, picks WEINER up in his arms and whispers to him.

SPIDER-MAN And by the way, Peter Parker does not live here anymore.

SPIDER-MAN jumps with WEINER in his arms to the edge of the roof.

SPIDER-MAN And tell the Professor he can’t have Peter’s data. Goodbye.

SPIDER-MAN drops WEINER off the roof, three floors straight down into heavy bushes below.

A SIGN tells us so. A CLERK is double checking a long list of items OCK has ordered.

CLERK What about the money. or do you pay by credit card?

OCK (a long beat) Cash! I’ll be back soon.

An ARMORED TRUCK rolls by and stops. TWO GUARDS open the Bank’s DOORS.

Suddenly a WALDO smashes through the DRIVER’S SIDE WINDOW of the ARMORED TRUCK, wrapping around the DRIVER’S NECK and pulling him through the WINDOW. The SHOTGUN goes for his weapon, but a WALDO smashes in and pulls the GUN out through his WINDOW.

TWO WALDOS shoot out and attach themselves to the REAR DOOR.

BANK GUARD What’s going on here?

The WALDO knocks him over. OCK rips the DOOR off! The TRUCK is full of MONEY BAGS.

A PHOTO ASSISTANT look on as JAMESON goes over PETER’S latest PHOTOS. They are his SPIDER-MAN shots.

PETER Doesn’t he look amazing in that one? Look, he’s flying in the air!

JAMESON I don’t care if he flies to the moon. He’s just another wrestler in a silly costume. Look at this, Parker, right off the wire. This is the guy who hit that armored truck this morning. They say he has metal arms. get me a picture of this character!

JAMESON Four of them.

JAMESON The web faced weirdo. He is a joke in a Halloween costume. don’t make me laugh.

He tears up PETER’S SPIDEY PHOTOS.

JAMESON Now get out of here and don’t come back without something I can use!

PETER Yes sir. (stops, and turns back)

JAMESON A mega baloney. A bug in blue tights. what next?

PETER The Journal said he was a mega-smash on MTV.

WEINER is putting on a CLOWN SUIT. He fastidiously puts his ratty jacket on a hanger and hangs it on a PIPE. The PIPE turns into a snake. It is, in fact, a WALDO!

OCK (turning from work) What do you think you’re doing?

WEINER I’m going to the Masquerade. It’s Halloween tonight Doc, aren’t you coming to the School Ball? Whoa, you could go without an outfit.

A WALDO whips around WEINER’S throat. AARRRGH!

OCK You’re not going to any ball, clown. You’re going to get me Peter Parker’s data.

WEINER I was almost killed on my last try. Look at all these bruises.

OCK I don’t care if you come back dead. Just get it!

WEINER (croaking) Cost you a thousand bucks, if I get it.

The WALDO coils tighten around WEINER’S throat.

OCK Just get it, Weiner. I’m running out of time. If you fail me again, you won’t have to concern yourself with money anymore. DO YOU GET ME CLOWN?!
