Benjamin Richard Parker
Background: Benjamin Parker was born after his mother's difficult labor and pregnancy, because of his father's altered DNA due to the radioactive spider-bite. Mary Jane's health at risk, her obstetrician advised her to consider an abortion. However, remembering that she faced similar risks when pregnant with her daughter May, Mary Jane decided to proceed with the pregnancy.

During his birth his father was fighting the villains The Femme Fatals, and to his family's relief he was a perfectly healthy baby. Benjamin was named after his Great Uncle Ben parker, and his second name is in honor of his grandfather. During his toddler years and early childhood he was shown to develop his powers early, spinning his arm at super speed and balancing toy trucks on his fingers.

In a more dangerous time he was once possessed by a miniature version of the Carnage Symbiote, saved by his father, his parents noted that his ears were bleeding and realized Ben had lost his hearing, likely because his hearing was too underdeveloped to withstand the sonic waves. While doctors tried to determine whether his hearing was temporary or permanent, Peter blamed himself for ever letting it happen.

Thankfully, Ben was still a happy child. But when Mary Jane discovered Ben crawling on the ceiling she feared due to his exposure to the Symbiote his abilities may have somehow been preempted way too early -- this possibly making him more powerful than his father who received the bite in his youth.

Sometime after, a family friend of the Osbourne Family agreed to fund an operation to restore Benjamin's hearing loss. The operation was a success, restoring most but not all of his hearing. When Benjamin was going through surgery, said family friend examined his body and found that he really was already developing powers from the start, but because of his exposure to the symbiote; it accelerated the process. Ben learned to make full webs at one point and almost killed Mary Jane, but saved her none the less. Even Peter began to fear that Benjamin would be more powerful than him or his elder sister, who still had yet to develop any spidey powers.

Ben was a happy child but turned into a whether stubborn pre-teen and teenager, using his 'hidden' abilities to boss weaker kids around to impress those he wanted hang around with.

Benjamin grew aggressive and sometimes went too far in his endeavors, but it won him points with the popular kids. This however didn't impress his family, when they found out what he
was doing in school during his early teens, both Peter and Mary Jane sat down to talk with about the horrid details of his father's bullied childhood for being a nerd. Benjamin admitted when he first arrived in middle-school people expected him to have the vast intelligence that his father and sister possessed, when they learned he didn't they didn't hide their disappointment very well and he became disappointed with himself.

Being ignored at school didn't sit well with him, he didn't like the sports they had so he didn't feel he would gain friends there and at best he was an average B|C student, so in turn he began doing what he saw other kids of high status doing and it 'worked', a little too well sadly.
