Coming to grips with the responsibility that accompanies his abilities, he adopts the persona of Spider-Man. Undergoing a strange metamorphosis, he acquires super strength, agility, and an ESP-like sense that warns him of impending danger-all the advantages any disregarded geek could want.īut the fun of his newfound powers evaporates when his uncle is killed during a botched robbery that Parker inadvertently assisted. Bullied on the bus and hassled in the hallways, he keeps a low profile until a class field trip where he is accidentally bitten by a genetically altered spider.

But even their affection can’t shield him from the taunting he takes as the high school nerd.

Peter Parker (Maguire), orphaned as a child, grows up in the care of his aunt and uncle (Rosemary Harris and Chris Robertson). Donning form fitting tights and a face-concealing mask, he makes the streets of New York City a safer place to be while sloughing off bad press from local newspaper editor, J. After starring in films like The Cider House Rules and Pleasantville, Tobey Maguire takes a decidedly different role as the web-spinning superhero in Spider-Man.
