Peter
Parker, high-school student and a total loser, is bitten by
a genetically enhanced spider on a field trip, and soon discovers
new amazing powers. Suddenly, he does not need his glasses
any longer, has a lot of muscles, can move at superhuman speed,
can produce webs from his wrists, do amazing jumps, climb
walls, and he even posseses a sixth sense - the "spider
sense" warning him of approaching dangers.
But he still does not have the courage to tell the girl from
the neighbourhood - Mary Jane Watson - that he loves her.To
earn some money, he applies for a wrestling match. The manager
cheats him for the announced price of 3000 dollars, and when
the office is robbed shortly thereafter, Peter Parker lets
the robber escape - his revenge for being cheated by the manager.
But
he has to pay a high price for his petty revenge - the escaped
burglar kills his Uncle Ben!
Now
Peter understands what his uncle told him shortly before:
"With great power, comes great responsibility."
Peter
follows the murderer, and he is responsible for his death
as well.
Peter
Parker will never be the same - he decides to take on his
responsibility and use his powers to fight crime and save
the innocent in future - Spider-Man is born.
Meanwhile, Norman Osborne, father of Peters best friend Harry,
is doing a self-experiment with a strength-enhancing drug
developed for military use. His strength is increased, but
at the same time, his mind is destroyed - he is changed into
the Green Goblin - Peter Parker's arch-enemy soon .... the
battle begins. |
