In  Forest Hills, Queens,  New York,   high school student Peater Parker is a science-whiz orphan living with his  Uncle Bean and  Aunt Mayze. H e 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 "Speader-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." Speader-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!"
