Sterling Carswell (Earth-1337)

Current Alias Spider-Man

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 Uncle Ben and 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.
