Over the years I have tried thousands of attempted Spidey reboot stories so hopefully this one will stick. Inspiration from the comics, movies, cartoons and games.
Late one afternoon in an apartment in Queens, New York and in his room was a brown haired 15 year old boy at a desk that acted as a makeshift lab with pieces of paper that he had drawn up plans, designs and notes. This boy Peter Parker was a gifted science student and in fact liked to work on as well as take apart several old machines that he had gotten from dumpsters and second hand stores. In fact on his desk was a fixed up old sewing machine as well as two wrist devices that he had invented.
They made use of a web like substance that he had come up with himself using some chemicals that he had acquired; it could shoot out catch someone in a web and quite strong enough to hold a bit of length but there was always room for improvement.
He looked at a certain suit that he had put together using some materials that he had acquired and the sewing machine; he looked at it and signed. "Am I really doing this... If I start this then is there any turning back..." Peter thought in his head as his mind went back to the sequences of events that led up to all this:
Peter was up in the morning and having breakfast with his Uncle Ben & Aunt May Parker while the Daily Bugle (originally a newspaper founded in the 1940s that had been expanded throughout the decades and was now a major New York TV news channel as well as an online News network as well) was on. Peter couldn't ask for better guardians than the two off them.
They were both nice and charitable to their friends and neighbours; plus they were nothing but supportive off his scientiffic talents. Ben worked as an architect and also inspired Peter his love for movies and superhero media; watching movies together and he even gifted Peter his collection of comic books.
May worked at the FEAST homeless shelter; wanting to help those who didn't have help themselves. Ben and Peter at times would come over to help out and got to know the people staying there.
The Daily Bugle on the TV was reporting on the story that the board of directors of the aviation company Toomes Aerodynamics had announced being bought and folded into the science corporation Oscorp.
This was following the wake of the scandal where company founder and CEO Adrian Toomes was hosting a demonstration to military backers a new experimental flight harness but the harness malfunction and crashed mid fight. Several personnel were killed along with the test pilot and Toomes' office was searched and found saftey concern notices about the harness that Toomes had apparently ignored. Toomes was ousted from his position as CEO while continuing to insist that the notices must have been forged and planted plus that the harness must have been sabotaged.
"Karma finally caught up to Toomes; spending the rest off his life disgraced and ruined!" Ben said from his seat and Peter looked to Ben confused.
"Isn't that harsh Uncle Ben? There could be a chance that he is telling the truth and being thrown out of the company he built and having it torn down?" Peter asked as Ben sighed.
"Powerful people like Toomes mastered the art of lying to get their way and he built his company off the backs off little guys. He had hired countless gifted minds only to use the contracts to legally steal their ideas from them and throw them out when they became too much of a nuisance. Toomes has made a career out of this and there's a reason why former employees complaining to them in the news has given him the nickname of 'the Vulture'!" Ben replied and Peter took this in. "People like Toomes have the power off their wealth but are only concerned with themselves and their shareholders; layoffs and overworking their employees so the little guy suffers. I think that with great power that there must come great responsibility!" Ben continued on as Peter took this in while the next story from the Daily Bugle was talking about the Daily Bugle's owner J. Jonah Jameson's campaign for Mayor of New York.
Later Peter was at his new school that he had transferred to during his freshman year off high school: Midtown High which acted as a school for gifted students for all sorts of fields. He didn't have a lot of friends at his old school and he went up to a group of well known students talking together; one of them was his classmate Harry Osborn whose father was the CEO and founder of Oscorp and so far he seemed like an average student; some might think that his wealthy family helped secure his place at the school.
"Harry Osborn... I think you might know already since your father's company is involved but there is a science exhibit at ESU later today so do you want to..." Peter asked coming up to him but ended up being hit by a thrown football in the halls to snickering from the crowd around him and Peter groaned as he yelled in pain.
The football was picked up by a large blonde haired boy who joined in the snickering; Eugene 'Flash' Thompson who looked like he was held back a grade or two. Flash joined Harry and Harry looked to Peter and said "sorry Peter but Flash and the football team is hosting a big party tonight and I would love to have you come but it's invite only... Tell me how it was tomorrow, okay?"
Peter sighed as he nodded.
Empire State University a fancy university and it was Peter's hopeful for his future college and it was hosting a science demonstration that was being funded and ran by Oscorp. Two top Oscorp scientists were leading the exhibit. One was famous and respected biologist Dr Michael Morbius who persevered through the rare blood disease that he was born with and even turned down the Nobel Prize. Peter felt honored to be in the same building as him; much less the same general area.
Then there was Doctor Farley Stillwell who looked like he was forced to take part from his general demeanour of unethusiasm and how forced he was sounding in saying how delight they were to have them.
During the exhibit Stillwell was talking about a exhibit where there were cages with different insects that acted as test subjects for something called OZ; "Not to toot our own horn but we at Oscorp believe that OZ could be the future! A performance enhancer that we hope could not ony make someone stronger, faster and smarter but hellp our natural immunities and to fight off diseased cells..." Stillwell said with more ethusiasm as this was a project that he was directly involved in; not knowing about one of the spiders that had gotten free due to a small mistake when setting up all the displays.
The spider had crawled towards Peter as it's nearest target and bit him in the hand making him jump for a second. He had gotten stares from people in the crowd and Stillwell didn't look too pleased about being being interupted.
"Sorry Doctor Stillwell sir; please continue..." Peter said at once with a smile, feeling embarassed.
Peter felt funny coming home after it was over and figured that he was just tired. He woke up feeling better than ever in the morning and he walked outside and felt that he could run and felt an extra sense coming his way when he was crossing a lane and there was a speeding car coming his way.
He thought it was incredible decided to try leaping, running and jumping around in an empty alleyway. He jumped over to the wall and found himself to his shocking stick to the walls wti his hands like a spider. He jumped down getting over his shock and tried again, repeating it but felt stronger as he accidentally punched into the bricks.
He remembered about the spider bite and was excited to think that he had gotten powers!
He got home and at dinner time quickly made it through his dinner so he could look at his comics to compare the origin stories in those to what he was going through. "going to my room; don't mind me it's just that this is the best meat loaf that has ever been made Aunt May!" Peter said quickly going to his room as his aunt and uncle looked stunned.
"Something is up with him..." May said and Ben looked like he completeley agreed as he stared at the direction of where Peter went to.
"There has to be; it takes a lot to even stomach your meat loaf..." Ben said turning to face his wife and instantly realised that he was in for it now...
Along with creating his webs and 'web-shooters' as he called them; Peter knocked on the door of one of the tenants in the apartment building; an elderly artist who was rather reclusive and liked to work on his own personal comic books based on his own objectivist beliefs. "Steve; isn't it? I was wondering if you can help me please come up with ideas for a costume design?" Peter asked.
Steve was a lot of help and he had his costume made though he went with red and blue instead off purple and orange as Steve had suggested. He was walking the streets with his stuff in his backpack late one afternoon when he came across a jewellery store and there was an alarm with masked guys with guns running out and he jumped out of the way to let them pass as they ran to escape.
He heard shouting as he noticed the masked guys yelling about how it seemed that one of them dropped the keys to their getaway car and Peter heard someone yelling his name.
He jumped as he noticed his uncle by his car apparently just driving by and wanted to pick up Peter so he would be safe from what was happening. One of the robbers put a gun to Ben yelling to hand over the keys to the car; Peter yelled in fright and then there were the police sirens and...
BANG!
The car went off and Peter held his uncle crying and asking him to hold on but it was a losing battle and the police arrived; he had to be taken off tears in his eyes from his uncle's corpse.
He heard one officer state the street where the car was headed and grief inside Peter turned to rage...
He ran to an alleyway and walked up the walls; quickly taking his mask and putting it on as well as his web-shooters. He shot out a web which connected to another buidling allowing him to swing by as he made his way to the direction off the street and he saw the car speeding.
Landing on the hood and smashed the windows; using his 'Spider-Sense' to dodge the fire from their guns. They came out and he used his speed and strength to easily take them down. He could end them right now...
But then remembered Uncle Ben talking about power and responsibility; he could have tripped up those guys and stopped this from happening.
Plus would he approve?
He just left them webbed to the car.
Peter got home and grieved together with May; they were dressed in black for his funeral.
"I thought these powers would be fun but they are a tool; I could have used them earlier and prevent what happened but I didn't... Definitely more out there; the kinds of people that took Ben from May and me... I won't let them do the same and the little guy on the streets need people with power looking out for them!" Peter decided as he changed into the suit and put on the web-shooters quietly.
He can't let May find out about this; she has been through enough already...
He sneaked through the window as he began web slinging away. He found someone being assaulted by two people with knives. He jumped down and shot out a web to forcefully take the knives much to their shock at seeing Peter there. He then easily took them down and smiling underneath his mask. as he faced the stunned guy who was their victim.
"Don't mind me; I'm just your Friendly Neighbourhood Human Spider!" Peter said smiling as the guy took this in.
"Okay... Thanks you crazy son of a bitch but you might want to work on your name... No offense but it sucks..." the guy told him and Peter thought that this kind of ruined the sense of victory that was building within him.
Yes this time it's a cameo from the late Steve Ditko who doesn't get as much attention in his part in co-creating Spidey; not as bad a case as Bill Finger as criticisms about if Stan Lee took more credit for creating Marvel characters than he deserved aside, he never tried to claim sole creatorship credit.
If you want to ask about love interest; I want to go for Liz Allan.
