<P> In 1998 writer - artist John Byrne revamped the origin of Spider - Man in the 13 - issue limited series Spider - Man: Chapter One (December 1998--October 1999), similar to Byrne's adding details and some revisions to Superman's origin in DC Comics' The Man of Steel . At the same time the original The Amazing Spider - Man was ended with issue #441 (November 1998), and The Amazing Spider - Man was restarted with vol. 2, #1 (January 1999). In 2003 Marvel reintroduced the original numbering for The Amazing Spider - Man and what would have been vol. 2, #59 became issue #500 (December 2003). </P> <P> When primary series The Amazing Spider - Man reached issue #545 (December 2007), Marvel dropped its spin - off ongoing series and instead began publishing The Amazing Spider - Man three times monthly, beginning with #546--548 (all January 2008). The three times monthly scheduling of The Amazing Spider - Man lasted until November 2010 when the comic book was increased from 22 pages to 30 pages each issue and published only twice a month, beginning with #648--649 (both November 2010). The following year, Marvel launched Avenging Spider - Man as the first spinoff ongoing series in addition to the still twice monthly The Amazing Spider - Man since the previous ones were cancelled at the end of 2007 . The Amazing series temporarily ended with issue #700 in December 2012, and was replaced by The Superior Spider - Man, which had Doctor Octopus serve as the new Spider - Man, having taken over Peter Parker's body . Superior was an enormous commercial success for Marvel, and ran for 31 - issue before the real Peter Parker returned in a newly relaunched The Amazing Spider - Man #1 in April 2014 . </P> <P> In Forest Hills, Queens, New York, Midtown High School student Peter Parker is a science - whiz orphan living with his Uncle Ben and Aunt May . As depicted in Amazing Fantasy #15 (August 1962), he is bitten by a radioactive spider (erroneously classified as an insect in the panel) at a science exhibit and "acquires the agility and proportionate strength of an arachnid". Along with super strength, Parker gains the ability to adhere to walls and ceilings . Through his native knack for science, he develops a gadget that lets him fire adhesive webbing of his own design through small, wrist - mounted barrels . Initially seeking to capitalize on his new abilities, Parker dons a costume and, as "Spider - Man", becomes a novelty television star . However, "He blithely ignores the chance to stop a fleeing thief, (and) his indifference ironically catches up with him when the same criminal later robs and kills his Uncle Ben ." Spider - Man tracks and subdues the killer and learns, in the story's next - to - last caption, "With great power there must also come--great responsibility!" </P> <P> Despite his superpowers, Parker struggles to help his widowed aunt pay rent, is taunted by his peers--particularly football star Flash Thompson--and, as Spider - Man, engenders the editorial wrath of newspaper publisher J. Jonah Jameson . As he battles his enemies for the first time, Parker finds juggling his personal life and costumed adventures difficult . In time, Peter graduates from high school, and enrolls at Empire State University (a fictional institution evoking the real - life Columbia University and New York University), where he meets roommate and best friend Harry Osborn, and girlfriend Gwen Stacy, and Aunt May introduces him to Mary Jane Watson . As Peter deals with Harry's drug problems, and Harry's father is revealed to be Spider - Man's nemesis the Green Goblin, Peter even attempts to give up his costumed identity for a while . Gwen Stacy's father, New York City Police detective captain George Stacy is accidentally killed during a battle between Spider - Man and Doctor Octopus (#90, November 1970). </P>
