Sometimes student, sometimes scientist and sometimes photographer, **Sterling Carswell** is a full-time super hero better known as the web-slinging and wall-crawling **Spider-Man**. As an orphaned child, Sterling was raised by his [[https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Benjamin_Parker_(Earth-616)|Uncle Ben]] and [[https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Maybelle_Parker_(Earth-616)|Aunt May]]. At a science expo, Sterling was bitten by an errant radioactive spider which granted him an array of arachnid-based powers. He initially became Spider-Man to use his powers as an entertainer, growing so conceited he did not bother stopping a passerby burglar. In a twist of fate, the same burglar wound up killing Sterling's Uncle Ben, leading him to realize that he needed to use his powers responsibly. From then on, Spider-Man became a crime-fighting vigilante.
