This life is not an easy one... I've made enemies. Powerful enemies. Put those I love in danger. But the one thing that has haunted me, my entire life, is find the truth about my parents.
—Spider-Man (Peter Parker)
Young Peter Parker was left with his aunt and uncle, Ben and May, when his parents, Richard and Mary were forced to leave. Peter grew up with the mystery of his parents' disappearance, becoming an outcast in high school. Flash Thompson bullied Peter, who caught the eye of fellow classmate and crush, Gwen Stacy.
Peter finds his father's briefcase in his house's basement, which reveals to him the plane crash that killed his parents, and that his father had worked for OsCorp with Dr. Curt Connors in cross-species genetics. He goes to OsCorp searching for Connors and makes his way in by pretending to be a member of the high-school interns. Gwen, who is the guide of the group and assistant to Connors, recognizes Peter very quickly. She allows Peter to stay, so long as he stays out of trouble. Trying to find out more about his father's work, Peter sneaks into a lab where genetically altered spiders are being held. One manages to stay on his neck when he left and bit him. Peter takes a train home and falls asleep. Here, Peter's abilities begin to show, as he accidentally rips a woman's shirt off with his sticky hands, and takes out a group of enraged civilians, again by accident.
Frightened by his new abilities, he attempts to research spider bite symptoms but is unable to find the spider that bit him, as it was a genetic mutation. He decides to visit Dr. Connors at his home and reveals to him that he is Richard's son. After a short discussion, Peter gives Connors the equation to complete a limb regeneration formula, which he had learned from studying his father's notes.
The next day, Peter humiliates Flash in the school gym but gets in trouble when he accidentally breaks the backboard of the basketball hoop. Uncle Ben meets with the school principal and mentions that he had to switch his work shift in order to be there, and asks Peter to pick up Aunt May from that night. When Ben leaves, Peter asks Gwen out, and to his surprise, she says yes. Out of excitement, Peter goes to an abandoned shed after school and uses his new-found powers to swing from chains hanging from the ceiling. Later that night, Peter meets with Dr. Connors at OsCorp, helping to complete the regeneration formula, ignoring a call from Uncle Ben. When Peter returns home, he is scolded by Ben, who is enraged that he forgot to pick up May. Peter storms off and Ben leaves to search for him. Peter attempts to buy a small bottle of milk at a convenience store but is two cents short. The cashier refuses to let him pay two cents less, stating it is not his policy. The store is robbed soon after, and when asked to help stop the thief, Peter sarcastically replies it is not his policy. He hears a gunshot, and when he goes to investigate, he finds that Uncle Ben has been shot.
