When bitten by a genetically modified spider, a nerdy, shy, and awkward
high school student gains spider-like abilities that he eventually must
use to fight evil as a superhero after tragedy befalls his family.
Peter Parker visits a genetics laboratory with his best friend Harry Osborn and Peter's love interest, Mary Jane Watson. There, Peter is bitten on the hand by a genetically engineered "super spider". After he returns home to his Aunt May and Uncle Ben, he falls unconscious. Meanwhile, Harry's father, scientist Norman Osborn, owner of Oscorp, is attempting to preserve his company's critically important military contract. He experiments on himself with a new but unstable performance-enhancing chemical vapor that hugely increases his speed, strength, and stamina. However, it also drives him insane and he kills his assistant, Mendel Stromm. The next morning, Peter finds that his previously impaired vision has improved and that his body has metamorphosized into a more muscular physique. At school, he finds that his body is able to produce webs and his quickened reflexes help him avoid injury during a confrontation with bully Flash Thompson. Peter later discovers that he has also developed superhuman speed, strength, the ability to stick to surfaces, and a heightened ability to sense danger.
