"My common sense is tingling."
Introduction

xxxxxUncle Ben isn't dead. Peter's parents got divorce--not killed. And if you even *mention* radioactive spider bites, all you're going to get is a funny look followed by 'RADIATION DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY'.

xxxxxFor the most part, he's still the same kid. The only real difference is that tragedy doesn't define him: Rejection does. His parents couldn't be arsed with him; in school, he's been punished again and again for being absurdly smart--for standing out. The only people who even acknowledge he exists are his uncle and aunt--and as much as he loves them, they don't understand him. He's learned--time and time again--that being special is something you're supposed to hide.

xxxxxThen one day he woke up and found out he could punch through walls, leap across rooftops, and notice when a fly rubs its feet together on the other side of the room. Is it any wonder he's mostly keeping it to himself?

History

xxxxx When Peter was six, his parents got a divorce. As part of the proceedings, they entrusted him to Aunt May and Uncle Ben (the latter being his father's brother) temporarily, until the process could be concluded.

xxxxxThat was 9 years ago. His parents haven't bothered to speak with him since.

xxxxxSince then, he's lived in New York City--working during the day as a city courier and using his powers (which he's kept secret from everyone) during the night to perform amazing feats of acrobatics around the city--even videotaping the events and posting them online. He does this under strict secrecy, always wearing a red hoodie and black ski-mask when he goes out. Online, he's gained a bit of a following on the blogosphere and various youtube channels, where he's referred to as 'the New York Spiderman'.

xxxxxRecently, he's upgraded his nocturnal activities to acts of low-level vandalism and breaking-and-entering. He'll often take challenges posted online--places people say he can't possibly reach--and proceed to go there and leave his 'tag' (a spider) on the wall. He never steals anything, and never does any real harm--but police have probably started to take notice, and may be monitoring some of his online activities.

Powers

xxxxx Peter Parker has two powers: His awareness and his strength. The former grants him an extraordinary degree of proprioception[1], as well as a constant external sense of what's going on around him (basically, 'spider sense'). He can extend this awareness outward when he concentrates really hard--it lets him 'pick up' hot spots around the city (places where violence is about to happen--or is happening). It also confers supernatural motor skills--Peter's muscle memory is *absurdly* good, leading him to pick up dexterity-based skills that can take years to master in a matter of minutes.

xxxxxHis strength is a bit above what you'd expect from a man twice his size and with a physique like a body-builder: He can't throw cars, but if he really wanted to, he could probably manage to lob a motorcycle. This leads him to being *very* fast, and able to jump *very* far--skills he puts to great use when he's showing off. His dense muscle-mass also confers a certain degree of resiliency--he's a lot tougher than he looks, and can take a surprising amount of punishment. A bullet is still going to do to him what it does to anyone else, though.

RP Hooks
Nocturnal Activities - At night, Peter is living a double-life as the 'internet hero', Spiderman. He regularly records himself doing crazy feats of agility and accepts challenges to break into places and leave his tag (a spraypainted spider). This is likely to draw all sorts of attention--both legal *and* illegal.
Daddy Issues - Peter wants a relationship with his father; he can't have that, so he's dedicated himself to finding out what his father *does*. Turns out his dad works for Prometheus. Peter's decided to break in and find out more--this probably won't end well.
Surrogate Mentor - Peter will take any approval from anyone; he's desperate for it, and will probably end up letting himself be led (either astray or otherwise) by someone who knows how to give him the sort of acknowledgement he needs.
Science Whiz - Peter's inherited his father's genius re: Science; his intelligence is often underestimated. When he applies it, he can figure things out very quickly. One of the hooks I'd like for him: Finding/modifying technology that leads to the webslinger and the ability to cling to walls.
Familiar Faces - I'd *love* for some characters from Peter Parker's storylines--particularly villains--to show up. I'm particularly interested in Norman Osborn having something to do with Project Prometheus--and Peter's father.
