SPIDER-MAN
As a teenager, Peter Parker was bitten by a radioactive spider and endowed with all of the proportional strength and speed of the creature, as well as a ‘spider-sense’ that alerts him of impending danger. After the death of his Uncle Ben, Peter vowed to use his new powers for the good of the world and donned a costume to become the hero called Spider-Man! Over the years he has left the mantle behind in favor of a more normal life, but finds himself yet again playing the part of hero, in addition to now being a teacher at Midtown High, his former school.
FLASH THOMPSON
One of Peter’s classmates from high school, Eugene “Flash” Thompson was regarded as a god by his fellow classmates for his athletic skills on the football team. He was also known for frequently tormenting young Peter. However, since then the two have put aside their differences in high school. Now, Peter has become Flash’s closest friend, even helping him cope with his alcoholism. In addition, Flash also works at Midtown High School, which he and Peter once attended, as the school’s new gym teacher.
J. JONAH JAMESON
The publisher of the Daily Bugle, J. Jonah Jameson is a tough-as-nails newsman who gave Peter Parker a job as a freelance photographer when he was still in high school. Ever since then, although Jonah has been gruff towards Peter, he secretly is very proud of him. On the flip side, Jameson has spent the better part of the past few years trying to discredit Spider-Man as a menace to society, thinking of him as nothing more than a publicity-seeking glory-hound instead of an actual hero.
AUNT MAY
The wife of Ben Parker, May and her husband raised Peter after the death of his parents when he was a child. May and Ben treated Peter as if he was their own son and May especially has always fretted over him. After Ben’s death, May did her best to try to raise Peter, despite her own health complications. Although she was presumed dead for a time, she was actually a captive of Norman Osborn. Recently, May discovered Peter’s double-identity and that he’s really Spider-Man. Although at first a bit uneasy, May has grown to accept her nephew’s double-life and takes pride in him.
