NOTE: Do not confuse the article with the version of Spider-Man from Marc Webb's films. This article is solely for Spider-Man from the early Spider-Man 2 script Amazing Spider-Man The "Spider-Man" image in the infobox is concept art chosen due to being the closest image to match with any moments in the script. The "Peter Parker" image is promotional art from the first film chosen due to the events of the first film being canon with the script and due to there not being any known concept of Peter for Spider-Man 2. Have the content of the "What Makes Him Pure Good?" section be only from the script as Spider-Man's heroic deeds in the first film can be found on the article for his final script version. The script can be found here. |

“ | Now... where was I? Actually, I have a better question... who was I? I mean way back when, before the spider bite, before the genetic transmutation and so on. By the way, if you're coming in late, could you maybe ask a friend to catch you up or something? Because my life is complicated. There's a funny thing I've noticed about growing up. You sorta end up who you were. Mu problem is I don't remember much about who I was. Where I came from. Who I came from. Who. I. Am. | „ |

Peter Parker, better known as Spider-Man, is the titular main protagonist of Amazing Spider-Man, a film script for what would later become Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 2. While his film counterpart was infected with the symbiote in the original trilogy, was vengeful and had numerous other corrupting qualities in the original trilogy and only became Pure Good with the release of Spider-Man: No Way Home, this script featured a version of him that never got infected with the Symbiote and gave up his vengeful tendencies by the end of his arc.
He was a high school student who was bitten by a genetically altered "super" spider while on a school field trip. Endowed with the proportionate powers and abilities of a spider and following his uncle's tragic death, he intended to use his abilities for good; thus, becoming the crime-fighting superhero known to the public, Spider-Man. Two years after the death of Green Goblin, he would be given a letter from his parents by Aunt May, leading him to finding the shocking truth about his parents and their deaths.
In the first film or the trilogy, he was portrayed by Tobey Maguire, who was set to play this version of the character before the script was reworked into the finished product.
What Makes Him Pure Good?
- Unlike his final script version:
- He managed to lose his vengeful tendencies by the end of his arc as he spared Doctor Octopus despite him killing his parents and trying to kill him numerous times. (Though, his published version did subvert his Corrupting Factors later.)
- He never had the Symbiote in this continuity.
- He never crosses over to Earth-199999 (also known as the MCU), meaning he doesn't need to be compared with the heroes there.
- He did everything his final script counterpart did in the first film.
- He's been Spider-Man for 2 years. In those 2 years he's been stopping all sorts of crimes.
- He tried to convince Harry that Spider-Man didn't kill his father.
- It was revealed that due to being a good kid in his early age, his parents entrusted Aunt May with a letter revealing a key and coordinates to the device called the image refractor.
- He put the image refractor at the top of the Empire State Building to for safe keeping.
- When Otto Octavius claimed that he wanted to use the image refractor to complete Peter's parents work, he gave the image refractor to him.
- While he was mad at Octavius, this was justified as the latter revealed he killed Peter's parents. Peter defeated him at his lab.
- He stopped a carjacker from killing a tourist. While the police were using this tourist as bait to draw out a ring of carjackers, Spider-Man didn't know this.
- He attempted to stop Doctor Octopus when he was rampaging through the streets and kidnapping Mary Jane.
- He attempted to save Captain Stacy from Doc Ock, picking up large debris from him and rushing to the hospital only to find out it was too late for him.
- Even though J. Jonah Jameson framed Spider-Man for Stacy's murder, Spider-Man didn't stop the issues from being printed.
- He comforted Captain Stacy's son at the former's funeral. Saying that if the latter got lost, Peter would find him.
- He attempted to save a woman from a supposed criminal before he realized it was all an audition.
- He invited everyone he knew to Harry's wedding at the latter request, including Curt Connors and his wife.
- He fought Doc Ock at Harry's wedding, chasing after him as he used his arms as a helicopter.
- He saved two construction workers from Doc Ock when he made the scaffolding of a construction building unstable.
- He defeated Doc Ock by converting an air conditioner unit into an electro magnet. Spider-Man didn't kill him even though he deserved it, he instead imprisoned Doc Ock after he begged for his life to be spared while being electrocuted.
- He hides the image refractor at the top of the Empire State Building again to hide it from anyone attempting to use it.
