Peter Parker, an ordinary high school student, was bitten by a radioactive spider during a science exhibition and accidentally gained spider-like superpowers: super strength, agility, spider sense, and climbing walls.
At first he wanted to use his abilities to gain fame, but his selfish negligence indirectly led to the murder of his uncle Ben Parker. His uncle's dying words, "With great power comes great responsibility" completely changed him. Peter has since transformed into the Amazing Spider-Man, an introverted ordinary student during the day, and a guardian on the streets of New York at night.
He has to deal with his studies, work and make money, family, love and friendship, while fighting against the Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, Electro, Vulture and other villains. Spider-Man is not omnipotent. He will get injured, become poor, collapse, and lose his loved ones. Even if he tries his best, he may not always achieve success.
The core of the story is not just about superhero fights, but also about the struggles of ordinary people: bearing the pain of loss, still choosing to be kind under the pressure of life, and after countless setbacks, still shouldering the responsibility and protecting the city.
