'''Peter Parker''' is a photographer for a newspaper named ''The New York Daily Bugle'' under Editor-in-Chief [[Joe Robertson]]. Parker is ''also'' the friendly costumed hero '''Spider-Man'''. Sometimes he has a black costume, which he can control with his mind, and can shapeshift into normal clothes. Spider-Man can fire thread-like projectiles from his wrists, which can be used to spin a web of practically any size, or to catch thieves and other assorted rogues just like [[Earth]] insect pests. If you are inquiring as to whether or not he possesses superhuman strength, you would be advised to pay close attention, my friend, when we tell you that this is indeed the case, as a result of his bodily fluid being radioactive in nature.

He's kind of a smartguy.

==Fiction==
===Marvel Generation One comics===
{{noteukonly}}

In 1984, while covering the news of the new [[Decepticon]] fortress in Oregon, Peter Parker/Spider-Man intercepted [[Gears (G1)|Gears]], who had been sent on a scouting mission, and attacked, thinking Gears was one of the invaders. When [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] threw a tank at a gaggle of unwary reporters, Gears saved them, convincing Spider-Man he was good. 

Spider-Man teamed up with the [[Autobot]]s to help rescue [[Sparkplug Witwicky (G1)|Sparkplug Witwicky]] from the [[Decepticon]]s. Spider-Man noted that he has had many adventures in his long history as a superhero.  [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] replied that he is sure tales of his exploits would be interesting {{m-}} they could possibly even be described as ''amazing''.

Spidey managed to get the Autobots past the army with a little subterfuge, which lasted about ten seconds. While the Autobots dealt with both the human army ''and'' some invading Decepticons, he and Gears made their way into the base. After dispatching the cassettes and [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]], the pair found Sparkplug, and [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]! He used his webbing to completely mummify [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], but it didn't hold for very long. Megatron blasted a hole in the floor of their base, so Gears, and Sparkplug would plummet to their deaths. Webbing saved Spider and Spark, but couldn't hold Gears' weight.

Spider-Man was aghast that the Autobots would treat their comrade's apparent death so nonchalantly. He followed the Autobots back to the [[Ark]], and Prime failed to explain in any adequate sense how Gears was neither dead nor alive right then. But Spider-Man couldn't stick around, so he left. {{storylink|Prisoner of War!}}

''Megatron referenced Spider-Man's involvement just before reprimanding Starscream for challenging his authority.'' {{storylink|The Enemy Within!}}

Later, Spider-Man had become an iconic figure wearing a different costume, featuring a red mask with a black spiderweb pattern. [[Noah Acton]] wears a t-shirt bearing his likeness, indicating either kid appeal or counterculture status. {{storylink|Decepticon Graffiti!}}

[[Image:TheAutobotRun-Spideyshirt.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Kid, move your damn hand. We're more interested in Spider-Man, not you.]]

In 1985, Spider-Man had become an iconic figure wearing a different costume, featuring a red mask with a black spiderweb pattern, with blue leotards and red gloves. T-shirts were made of his likeness!<br>
Wait, is that Noah?  {{storylink|The Autobot Run}}

===''New Avengers/Transformers''===

He's still wearing that costume, but the eyes are white!

===Crossovers===

Unseen scientist [[Reed Richards]] constructed large, transforming battle armour for various superhumans; Spider-Man received two, one based on each of his costumes, both of which could transform into a high-speed motorcycle. It is likely Richards gained the idea from Spider-Man, as it is inconceivable the encounter with the Transformers wouldn't have a lasting impact on the vigilante.

One sign of such an impact is that Spider-Man's activities seem to be focused solely on fighting [[Carnage|hostile]] [[Venom (Crossovers)|aliens]]. One of those aliens has somehow stolen and altered Spider-Man's loyal living costume; how he'll reclaim it is unknown.

==Toys==
===Crossovers===
*'''Spider-Man''' (Marvel, 2008)
:He kinda looks like [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]], with a Spider-Man head. [[Venom (Crossovers)|Venom]] is not a [[black repaint]] of him. (Yay!)

*'''Black Costume Spider-Man''' (Marvel, 2008)
:A black repaint of the above toy. Er, yeah. He is still not [[Venom (Crossovers)|Venom]]!

==Notes==
* It's occasionally claimed that a Spider-Man story published as part of the "[[Wikipedia:Clone Saga|Clone Saga]]" during the 1990s features a line where Peter claims that he had never been to Oregon, thereby "clearly" establishing Spidey's guest appearance in [[Prisoner of War!|issue 3]] of the Marvel US ''Transformers'' comic as being not part of the mainstream ("616") Marvel universe. In fact, however, Peter claims (in a monologue) having never been to '''Utah''' in ''Spider-Man'' #57 (1995), since [[Wikipedia:Kaine|Kaine]]'s murder of Louise Kennedy had happened there (in ''Spider-Man: The Lost Years'' #3).
