Personality


Surface level Peter Parker is about what you'd expect from a high school kid. He's generally pretty quiet, maybe a little awkward at times if he gets flustered, and tries to be polite to the people around him. He may drop the occasional smartass comments, but he's generally quick to apologize if his smartassery goes too far. Education is important to him and he takes it seriously, and tends to be a good student even if his mind does wander from his studies from time to time. As a massive nerd, Peter is a part of his school's academic decathlon team, and is considered to be the most intelligent member. Maybe he's not the most popular kid in school, but with the exception of one or two douchebags, he's generally amicable with his peers.

In contrast to his more mild mannered attitude as Average High School Kid Peter Parker, Spider-Man is more outgoing and is considerably chattier. He always has some quip or smartass remark to toss into mix (much to the annoyance of opponents and allies alike), but he's really only a dick to people who deserve it. He webbed a guy to his car despite the fact that the guy had ice cream in his trunk because said guy had been trying to buy weapons to stick people up with, for example. Don't be a criminal, Spidey won't be a dick to you.

Though he usually does his spider business solo, he's displayed on a few occasions that he's fully capable of being a team player. During the Civil War pissing contest and again during all that Infinity War horseshit, he's shown to be able to communicate adequately with his teammates and mesh effectively into whatever on the spot wacky strategy they decide to roll with. The strategies he comes up with usually consist of "HEY REMEMBER IN X MOVIE WHEN Y HAPPENS", but it totally still counts.

By the time he's introduced in the MCU, he's already become Spider-Man, so a lot of his backstory is left vague. In other incarnations, Peter Parker becomes Spider-Man after the death of his uncle, for which he's at least partially responsible. It's implied to be at least kind of a thing for this version of Spider-Man; Uncle Ben's totally dead, but it's never directly stated that any sense of guilt that would have occurred as a result of the Uncle Ben incident is the reason that Peter decided to become a masked vigilante. As far as we know now, his biggest motivator is just his desire to be a good dude and help people simply because he has powers that give him the ability to do so, and his belief that if something bad that he could have prevented happens, it's his fault that it happens. The basic idea of Spider-Man being driven by a strong sense of personal responsibility is still fully in tact.

When he was first presented with the opportunity to do stuff with the Avengers, Peter was ecstatic. While helping the little guy was still a big driving force behind his actions, his primary focus temporarily became trying to impress the big shots and proving that he was capable of being an Avenger, but he was going about it all pretty recklessly. Wake up call time happened when his actions led to almost sinking a ferry and putting other people in danger, and Stark was all "Nah you're grounded ". After taking a break from spidering and getting his shit sorted out (and stopping a dude in a metal bird suit from stealing alien weapon junk) he realized that he wasn't really ready for Avengers level bullshit yet. He knew that still needed some time to grow, so to Tony Stark's surprise and approval, he turned down a chance to join the Avengers and went back to looking out for the little guy.

Peter has only been doing the Spider-Man thing for about two years, so he hasn't had a chance to develop the same sort of underlying depression or a guilt complex like Old-And-Busted Peter has. However, this is Silent Hill and we can't have nice things. As Peter comes from like right after he disintegrated into dust at the end of Infinity War, he's going to roll in with a healthy does of survivor's guilt compiled with even more guilt over the fact that he's left May all alone back home. Let's toss in some irrational self-blaming over Thanos successfully killing half the universe and a little crippling self doubt with a low key feeling of overall powerlessness for good measure, and we've got us a recipe for like. Trauma or something.


Special Abilities


Peter's Fancy Spider-Man Abilities:

Superhuman Strength: Peter possesses superhuman strength, because that's what happens when you get bit by radioactive spiders. That whole proportionate strength of a spider thing. He was able to stop a 3,000 pound car from hitting a bus with ease, and lift a collapsed building off of himself which wasn't easy at all, but he managed it.

Superhuman Agility/Speed + Perfect Equilibrium: If this was D&D he'd have a 20 in Dexterity okay. He's capable of achieving perfect equilibrium in virtually any position, and can balance on almost and surface no matter how narrow. His enhanced speed and agility allow him to preform all manner of crazy gymnastic stunts that would put actual gymnasts to shame.

Healing Factor + Durability: Dude can take a beating, and what injuries he does get heal at an accelerated rate. He's had a building dropped on him, been smashed in the face by Captain America, splattered by a giant Ant-man, fallen down an elevator shaft, dude even crashed a plane, and he walked away from all of it with maybe a few cuts and bruises which all healed within a matter of hours.

Spider-Sense: The simple explanation is that he can sense when a Bad Thing is about to happen. It generally gives him enough warning to dodge or counter whatever the impending danger may be, but it doesn't tell him what exactly it is.

Enhanced-vision: I mean pretty self explanatory, his vision is way better than that of a normal human, making him an excellent marksman with his webs. Cool in theory, but it comes with a price. His eyes are too good, sometimes leaving him overwhelmed by sensory input. It doesn't seem to hamper his day to day life, but for his Spider-Man stuff it was bad enough that he had to invent a pair of goggles with adjustable lenses to limit just how much input he was receiving.
*It's possible that his hearing is affected in a similar way, as he does mention that he feels like his senses are"dialed to eleven".

Super neato sticky-power: He can stick to pretty much whatever surface he wants to and just climb the hell out of that shit. Dude sticks to walls, ceilings, glass, probably the Hulk if he felt like it.


NERFS: I'd like to give him the same nerfs as old-man Spidey, reducing his physical strength and healing factor. Additionally, I think it would be interesting to crank up the discomfort and inconvenience that he experiences from his heightened senses in some way because I'm an asshole. Like maybe he'd be temporarily blinded if there's a sudden bright flash of light, or temporarily deafened by LOUD NOISES. Does that count as nerfing or just being a dick for the sake of being a dick??


Peter's Normal-Ass But Still Pretty Fancy Human Abilities:

Peter has an above average knack for science and technology related junk. He's not at a Tony Stark was able to build this in a cave!! level of technological wizardry, but by the age of 15 he was able to design and build his original web shooters, create a mask with adjustable goggles to help him focus his vision better, and even fished an old-ass computer out of a dumpster and got that working once. The kid knows his way around some tech. He's also exceptionally skilled in the field of chemistry, having come up with the formula for his web goop without any outside assistance. I'm gonna never call it "web goop" again, because ew.

Despite his like complete lack of any sort of proper combat training, he's shown that he's able to adapt to different combat situations on the fly, more or less just making crafty shit up as he goes along and figuring out creative ways to incorporate his strength, agility and webs into any given combat situation. He's actually pretty good at coming up with weird yet functional combat strategies as well. Mostly it's just stuff he's seen in "really old movies" before, but so far he's been able to successfully incorporate his ideas into the battles he's taken part in. The kid's genre savvy, what can I say.
