* IconicSequelOutfit: Peter's suit in the [[Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan first movie]] has its fans, but was criticized for the many creative liberties taken with the design, especially the small yellow eyes. In response, the suit was redesigned in [[Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2 the sequel]] with large, white eyes for what is arguably the most comic-accurate Spider-Man suit to date, [[WinBackTheCrowd to much warmer reception]].

->''"I kind of like to think he gives people hope."''

A soft-spoken and awkward nerd from Queens, Peter has been lovingly raised by his aunt May and uncle Ben ever since his parents disappeared when he was a little kid. The resurfacing of some of Richard Parker's mysterious research prompts Peter to look
for you is to become hope. People need that. And even if we fail, what better way is there to live?"''

Smart, charismatic and confident, Gwen is the chief intern
his father's former colleague Dr. Curtis Connors at Oscorp, working in the same department as her mentor Dr. Connors, and takes her job very seriously. She becomes Peter's first and only real friend at school, and they awkwardly and clumsily grow closer to each other.

Added DiffLines:

* ActionHero: Obviously, his job has its fair share of action.
* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: Shockingly, yes. Starting with his parents; in the comics, they died in a plane crash when he was a toddler, leaving him with no memory of them. Here, while he never knew why for years, it's clear that his parents were abandoning him with Ben and May when he was six, which Peter remembers and causes him to feel angry and resentful towards them. In regards to Ben's death, unlike in the comics and the [[Film/SpiderManTrilogy Raimi films]], Peter never finds the killer and therefore his first few attempts at being Spider-Man are born out of a need for revenge, and he never truly finds closure in the films outside of abandoning his search for Ben's killer to focus on protecting people. [[spoiler:Also, Peter still suffered the losses of Uncle Ben, Captain Stacy, and Gwen in the comics but while there he had a decent amount of time separating these tragedies, this version experienced all of them within a year or at least close to that, given that he is canonically 17 in the first film and graduates in the second.]] All of this means that in ''No Way Home'', he's the most depressed and beaten down Peter in comparison to his Raimi-Verse and [[Film/SpiderManHomeTrilogy MCU]] counterparts.
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: A {{Downplayed|Trope}} example, but while comic book Peter arguably [[ProgressivelyPrettier got more attractive over the years]], he starts his high school years as EndearinglyDorky before getting better. [[NerdsAreSexy That's not how Andrew Garfield is portrayed in the movie at all.]]
* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: A minor case but even prior to getting his powers, this Peter was far more confident in how he talked to girls and stood up to Flash, unlike his comic self who grew more confident after battling several supervillains.
* AdaptationalRelationshipOverhaul:
** Unlike in the comics where Peter never felt that he could tell Gwen his secret, here he tells her before they even officially start dating, and in many ways, she becomes his partner by helping him fight both Lizard and Electro. Also, according to a tie-in comic they've been classmates since elementary school instead of meeting in university.
** He's [[ChildHoodFriend childhood friends]] with Harry Osborn, though they lost track of each other after Norman sent his son to boarding school. In the comics, they didn't meet until university and it took time before they became friends.
** Peter's relationship with Uncle Ben is more difficult than in the comics or previous adaptations, as after getting his powers, he makes decisions that leave Ben disappointed in him. Also, Peter remembers being left by his parents which gives him issues that other versions don't have.
** In the comics, Peter meets and befriends Dr. Connors on his own while in the first movie, Connors is an old colleague and friend of Peter's father, Richard Parker.
* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. While this version of Spider-Man builds and uses mechanical web-shooters like in the comics, the web cartridges weren't his own design but from Oscorp's readily-made ''Bio-Cable'' product -- webbing mass-manufactured from the same genetically-modified spiders as the one that bit him. [[spoiler: However, ''No Way Home'' reveals he eventually started making his own webbing in the intervening years.]]
* TheAdjectivalSuperhero: He's the titular '''Amazing''' Spider-Man. [[spoiler:In ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'', promotional materials use this to distinguish him from his [[CharactersSpiderManTrilogySpiderMan Raimi-Verse counterpart]], who is referred to as The '''Friendly Neighborhood''' Spider-Man.]]
* AdoptTheDog: While he was never a bad guy to begin with, his actions after gaining his superpowers were extremely self-centered and revenge-driven. It's not until he saves dozens of people from the Lizard's initial rampage that he really gets to becoming TheHero.
* AgeLift: Much like in ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries'' and the [[Film/SpiderManTrilogy Raimi trilogy]], Peter becomes Spider-Man when he is seventeen, which is older than when his comic book counterpart became Spider-Man (he was 15-years-old).
* AllWebbedUp: Does this to his enemies sometimes.
* AlliterativeName: '''P'''eter '''P'''arker.
* AlternateSelf:
** His appearance in ''No Way Home'' has him meet his counterparts from [[Characters/SpiderManTrilogySpiderMan Earth-96283]] and [[Characters/MCUPeterParker Earth-199999]]. It also gives him a variant on [[WesternAnimation/WhatIf2021 Earth-89521]].
** He makes a brief appearance in ''Across the Spider-Verse'' as a hologram when Miguel is explaining the multiverse to Miles Morales, with the film featuring several [[Characters/SpiderManSpiderVerse different variants]] of himself such as one from [[Characters/SpiderMan1967 Earth-67]], [[Characters/SpiderManInsomniacPeterParker Earth-1048]], [[VideoGame/LEGOMarvelSuperHeroes Earth-13122]], [[Characters/TheSpectacularSpiderMan Earth-26496]] and [[Characters/SpiderManUnlimited Earth-751263]].
** ''Across'' would establish that ''VideoGame/TheAmazingSpiderMan2'' tie-in game exists in it's own universe, with it's version of Peter briefly appearing.
* AlwaysSecondBest: He's this in terms of intellect according to Gwen after she creates more durable and electricity-resistant web-shooters for him.
-->'''Gwen:''' And that is why you were number two at Midtown.
* AnimalisticAbilities: He has the strength, speed, and the agility of a spider and he can [[WallCrawl crawl on walls]].
* AnimalMotif: The spider, obviously.
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: '''Spider'''-Man.
* ApologeticAttacker: Upon first discovering his powers after taking a nap on the subway, he gets into a fight unintentionally on the train (see SpiderSense), apologizing to all of the people he's beating up.
* AntiHero: In the first film, Peter didn't really grasp the idea of WithGreatPowerComesGreatResponsibility, and focuses more on his [[{{Revenge}} personal crusade]] of finding Uncle Ben's killer, and acts pretty [[EntitledBastard entitled]] when the cops and media don't acknowledge his heroic deeds.
* ArachnidAppearanceAndAttire: Not to the degree of [[Film/SpiderManTrilogy the first live-action film trilogy]], since the webbing is not organic, but still typical of Spider-Man.
* TheAtoner: Probably after Uncle Ben is murdered, but he mainly becomes Spider-Man to seek {{Revenge}} against the murderer. More explicitly one (taking responsibility) after helping create the Lizard.
* BadassBookworm: He's like his comic book counterpart; a geeky NiceGuy who can solve your hardest algebra problems before breakfast is over while handing criminals their asses using his superhuman combat skills.
* BeingGoodSucks: He's Spider-Man; this is a given. Trying to do the right thing always results in personal pain towards him, such as keeping his promise to Captain Stacy and breaking up with Gwen which simply leaves him miserable.
* BetaOutfit: When he started searching for Uncle Ben's murderer for vengeance, he wore a red ski mask with lenses covering his eyes underneath a beanie and a black jacket before creating his signature Spider-Man spandex costume. His first actual costume, however, also has elements of this in comparison to his more comic-accurate costume in the second film.
* BigEater: Exaggerated on the night he gains his powers.
* BothSidesHaveAPoint: In the second film, he refuses to give Harry his blood, even to cure his fatal illness, because he believes it might harm or even kill him. Harry argues that he's ''already'' dying, so he has nothing to lose, but Spidey also makes the argument that his blood might do something even worse, like what happened with the Lizard.
* BrainsAndBrawn: The Brawn to Gwen's Brains when they team up against the bad guys. He takes care of the physical part, such as fighting the Lizard and distracting Electro.
* BrainyBrunette: A dark-brown-haired guy who made his own suit and webs.
* BrooklynRage: In contrast to his previous depiction, this Peter speaks with a Brooklyn accent.
* BruiserWithASoftCenter: As the first movie progresses, he starts to grow out of his SmugSuper tendencies.
* BuildingSwing: A staple of the character, as the TropeCodifier.
* BulletproofFashionPlate: Averted. In the first movie, Peter ends up with several bruises on his face from his crime-fighting, one even before he gets his powers. The injuries last for most of the movie, taking a realistic (if ''slightly'' accelerated) time to heal and causing characters to wonder what he's getting up to. The cuts on his chest likewise don't magically heal from one scene to the next.
* BullyHunter: One of the first things he does with his powers is to stand up to [[JerkJock Flash Thompson]] by embarrassing him in a basketball game. In the sequel, he also scares off a bunch of neighborhood bullies picking on a young boy named Jorge.
* ButForMeItWasTuesday: A rare heroic example in the second film; Spider-Man helps so many people on a daily basis that he doesn't remember Max Dillon until Max reminds him of that day. Technically speaking, Spider-Man does, in fact, remember Max, just not his name, and Max's transformation into Electro hasn't exactly made him easier to recognize.
* ButHeSoundsHandsome: Peter vehemently defends Spider-Man when Captain Stacy criticizes him, stating that while he doesn't believe Spider-Man is exactly a hero, he seems to be just trying to help.
* ButtMonkey: It is Spider-Man, after all.
* ByronicHero: In contrast to the more socially awkward but polite Spider-Man of the Raimi films, this Peter is still awkward around Gwen but far better at being charming while also being prone to anger and moments of self-loathing over his failures which become many by the end of the second film. After gaining his powers, he [[SmugSuper revels]] in getting back at those he feels wronged him, and his ParentalAbandonment causes him to be far more sullen than the previous iteration whenever it's brought up. Most of this, however, is TruerToTheText, as the Raimi films made Spider-Man more traditionally heroic while the TASM films reflected the early Lee-Ditko comics in how Peter acted.
* BystanderSyndrome: He lets a small-time crook get away with robbing a store because it's "not his policy" (and also partly because the clerk was a massive douche to him). He regrets this shortly after when the same crook [[DeathByOriginStory winds up killing Uncle Ben by accident.]]
* CallingTheOldManOut: [[PartingWordsRegret Towards Uncle Ben during their last conversation before his death.]] Peter gets mad at him for bringing up his dead father when Ben was scolding him and storms out in the process.
* TheCameo: Appears through archive footage in ''Across the Spider-Verse'', as a hologram along with Captain Stacy when he died.
* CameraFiend: He often carries a camera with him to take pictures.
* CasualDangerDialogue: He quips and jokes against most of the foes he takes on.
* CannotSpitItOut: Peter has a ''huge'' problem with saying what he needs to. When he does, he relapses into a stuttering mess.
* CantGetAwayWithNuthin: He lets a thief get away because it "wasn't his policy" and the cashier the thief stole from was a dick to him. Said thief kills Uncle Ben not long after.
* TheCape: He has become this by the second film to the point where he's popular among New Yorkers.
* CassandraTruth: Played with. [[spoiler:Peter tries to warn Captain Stacy that Dr. Connors is the giant lizard that has been terrorizing the city and that he ''transforms'' himself into a lizard thanks to his transgenic research. Stacy mocks him and seems to brush it off, but he actually requests research on Dr. Connors as soon as Peter leaves the police station; he thinks Peter sounds nuts, but he's willing to look into it anyway.]]
* CatchAndReturn: During his fight with the Lizard at Midtown High, he manages to catch a table The Lizard threw at him which he dodges but almost hits the [[Creator/StanLee school librarian]] at the last second with his webs and hurls it back at the Lizard.
* ChallengingTheBully: To a game of basketball. [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength He ends up breaking the hoop in the end.]]
* CharacterCatchphrase: [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe "You serious?"]]
* CharacterDevelopment: Peter starts off as an UnscrupulousHero, only stopping criminals because he's looking for Uncle Ben's killer. He grows more selfless after hearing Gwen's father dismiss him as "some vigilante who only has a personal vendetta" and then saving a small child during the Lizard's first attack before he finally settles into the ClassicalAntiHero he's known as [[spoiler:after the death of George Stacy]]. The second film shows him moving into the role of TheCape and being far more friendly with the public, as well as dealing with his unresolved issues to move forward with his life. [[spoiler:Sadly, Gwen's death undoes all of this, and ''No Way Home'' reveals that he fell back into his old ways in order to cope as well as more or less giving up on living a normal life, meaning that a decade later, he's far more awkward and depressed than before.]]
* ChestInsignia: Obviously, the black spider symbol.
* TheChosenOne: {{Downplayed|Trope}} but unlike the comics or the Raimi films, the second film makes it clear that only Peter could have received spider powers. While the comics have confirmed that a more mystical origin for Peter's powers is possible and he has been the subject of several prophecies that could only be possible if he became Spider-Man, they have never outright said that only Peter could have gotten powers and in fact the idea that "someone other than Peter gets bitten by the spider" is a very common WhatIf scenario. This version however had to steal someone's ID to get into Oscorp, sneak into a secure lab, and then get bitten by a spider genetically altered using experiments devised by his father, who used his own blood in the experiments, which means only someone with his bloodline could get the powers.
* CivvieSpandex: His BetaOutfit consisted of a red ski mask, shades, skull cap and [[NotWearingTights casual clothes]].
* CombatParkour: In contrast to the previous movie version's brawler style, this version uses his superhuman agility and reflexes to perform various acrobatic and gymnastic feats such as jumping and flipping around his opponent before tackling them from the air. He can even perform barrel rolls in the air to avoid attacks.
* CombatPragmatist: It's easy to become one when you can shoot webs at your opponents and make use of the environment around you.
* CompositeCharacter: Given that this another retelling of Spider-Man's SuperheroOrigin, this Peter is mostly derived from the [[ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderManLeeAndDitko Lee-Ditko run]], but also takes aspects from John Romita Sr.'s time with the character (his similar hairstyle, more traditionally handsome looks, and relationship with Gwen).
* ContrivedClumsiness: Does this in the sequel when he helps Gwen evade Oscorp's security guards by pretending to accidentally spill coffee on them and trip them over.
* CoolBoard: A new addition to Peter's talents for this version is skateboarding. The first test of his powers comes when he tries skateboard tricks with them for one sequence. However, nobody at school treats him like he's cool for having a skateboard, and the one time he shows off his moves, he's in a deserted area.
* CoolMask: Would he really be Spider-Man without it?
* CostumeEvolution: In between films, he's updated the Spider-Man suit; it now looks similar to the one used in [[Film/SpiderManTrilogy the Sam Raimi trilogy]].
* TheCowl: In the first film, as he's more motivated with getting revenge and attacks criminals at night as well as being an UnscrupulousHero. While he's developed into TheCape in the second film, ''No Way Home'' implies that he fell back into this role after [[spoiler:Gwen's death]].
* CreateYourOwnVillain: In the first film, he forks over Richard Parker's Decay Rate Algorithm to Connors, which leads to the creation of the Lizard. In the sequel, his friendly conversation with Max Dillon causes the latter to become obsessed with Spider-Man and superheroics, eventually contributing to the accident that turns him into Electro. Also, his refusal to give his blood to Harry has forced him to take drastic measures to save his life, leading him to become the Green Goblin, [[spoiler: who ends up causing Gwen's death.]] Peter indirectly made his own enemy.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: He has brown hair and brown eyes.
* DanceBattler: His fighting style is even more fluid and acrobatic than [[Film/SpiderManTrilogy his previous iteration]].
* DarkIsNotEvil: His first suit has much darker tones than the [[Film/SpiderManTrilogy Raimi one]] and much darker lenses to boot, but he's undeniably a good man. The sequel subverts the dark part by giving him much brighter colors and white lenses, making him look closer to his comic book counterpart.
* DeadpanSnarker: As Spider-Man. He's easily the snarkiest live-action interpretation of the character.
* DeathWail: [[spoiler:He lets one out after George Stacy dies.]]
* {{Determinator}}: [[spoiler:He takes a pretty bad bullet wound before the final fight. It doesn't stop him from getting to Oscorp Tower and taking on the Lizard.]]
* DitzyGenius: While Peter's very intelligent and gifted, he's quite prone to making stupid decisions as seen in IdiotBall below.
* DodgeTheBullet: He's fast enough to easily dodge and avoid gunfire, as seen when a cop tries to shoot him and when Aleksei Sytsevich tries to shoot him with a machine gun.
* DontMakeMeDestroyYou: During his fight with Lizard at Midtown Science High School, he warns him at one point "Don't make me have to hurt you."
* DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: He causes a ''lot'' of damage when still getting used to his powers. PlayedForLaughs for the most part. [[spoiler:[[MoodWhiplash Not so much]] after he has a fight with Uncle Ben and shatters the door glass upon storming out. Cue awkward silence and Uncle Ben opening the door to follow him.]]
* TheDogBitesBack: After getting his powers, he stands up to Flash's bullying and embarrasses him in a game of basketball. Unfortunately, this [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome lands him into trouble]] as he ''did'' humiliate Flash but also broke the backboard when doing so.
* DorkKnight: It shows through a ''little'' as Spider-Man.
* DramaPreservingHandicap: As a general thing, his web-shooters are constantly damaged in some way, subbing in for the "out of fluid" problem constant in the comics.
** In the first movie, [[spoiler:two. First, getting shot in the leg, affecting his ability to get to Oscorp unassisted, and in the last fight with the Lizard, his web-shooters are crushed.]]
** In the sequel, [[spoiler:one of his web-shooters is fried by Electro, but he manages to defeat him and save many bystanders nevertheless.]] Averted in the final battle.
* EnterStageWindow: Both times he visits Gwen, he enters through her bedroom window. The first time, he claims he got there through the fire escape (''twenty stories'') because he's frightened of the doorman. [[spoiler:The second time, she already knows he's Spider-Man so he doesn't have to come up with any excuse.]]
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Trying to help the kid that's being bullied and ending up being beaten up in his place.
* TheEveryman: A staple of the character is that he's just an OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent before he got bit by the spider and received extraordinary superpowers in the process.
* ExtremityExtremist: Unlike [[Film/SpiderManTrilogy his previous iteration]], he focuses more on kicks than punches when he's not webbing people up.
* FailureHero: Downplayed as he beats the villains at the end of both his films, but he [[ILetGwenStacyDie suffers a major loss]] both times and the Gentleman along with Oscorp keep getting away with creating the villains. His failures in his films result in a clear depression and lack of self-worth in ''No Way Home''.
* FakeWeakness: PlayedForLaughs. He pretends to have a weakness for small knives to {{Troll}} a carjacker before webbing him to a wall.
* FriendlessBackground: He makes no friends at school except Gwen. [[spoiler:But Flash Thompson gets more chummy with him by the end, if not exactly becoming a close friend.]] Later, [[RememberTheNewGuy Harry Osborn]] is [[{{Retcon}} retconned]] in as a ChildhoodFriend, possibly his only friend before Gwen.
* FriendlyNeighborhoodSpider: Invoked. By the time of the second film, he's beloved by the people of New York.
* FriendToAllChildren: Peter is shown to be very kind and friendly towards young children.
** His first real act of heroism is saving a kid named Jack from a car about to fall into the ocean. He even unmasks himself to calm the boy down and is very gentle when it comes to rescuing him.
** In the sequel, he saves a little boy from bullies and uses his webbing to fix his project because the bullies broke it. The same boy later appears in the ending where Peter praises him for being brave for stepping up to Rhino.
* FromZeroToHero: He was just some unpopular kid in high school until he got bitten by a radioactive spider. Now he's New York's finest protector.
* TheGadfly: In true Spider-Man fashion, Peter likes annoying the hell out of his opponents to frustrate them and throw them off balance.
* GadgeteerGenius: He's good enough to create the web-shooters all by himself.
* GeniusBruiser: At the top of his class, and still tough enough to take on genetically-enhanced nutcases with his own two hands.
* GoingCommando: Let's just say Peter wears nothing underneath his Spider-Man costume(s), and end it at that.
* GoshDangItToHeck: When Gwen disobeys his order to immediately leave Oscorp Tower where the Lizard is heading towards and decides to get everybody out first.
-->'''Peter:''' Gwen! Gwen! You mother hubbard! Are you serious?!
* GuiltComplex: A staple of the character. In the sequel, [[spoiler:Captain George Stacy's]] death weighs heavily on him and he spends most of the movie deciding whether or not he should [[spoiler:follow his final wish to leave Gwen alone to protect her. His decision not to tragically leads to Gwen dying.]] [[spoiler:In ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'', Gwen's death is shown to have weighed so heavily on his conscience that he stopped being Peter Parker to fully focus on being Spider-Man.]]
* {{Hallucinations}}: In ''2'', he frequently hallucinates [[spoiler:Captain George Stacy]] as a manifestation of his dilemma on whether or not he should respect [[spoiler:his dying wishes to leave Gwen alone.]]
* HappilyAdopted: Not as much as other versions, as he was abandoned by his parents when he was six, leaving him more bitter and dealing with abandonment issues, which he ends up taking out on Ben during their last conversation. However, he loves both Ben and May dearly.
* HappyEndingOverride: Courtesy [[spoiler:of ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'']], where Peter claims [[BrokenBird he was never able to really deal with everything life threw at him.]] [[spoiler:Losing Gwen broke him fully, taking away his playful optimism and making him embittered to the point of claiming he "never had time to be Peter anymore". After five months of losing Gwen, he was able to channel his rage and sadness to be just Spider-Man again. It took many years and a Multiversal adventure to be Peter again.]]
* HealingFactor: He ''does'' have one, but it's dialed way back compared to some versions. It takes him a day or two to recover from some of the more serious beatings. He is able to heal from a gunshot to the leg and large cuts to his chest with only first aid, though. Elaborated a little more in the second film as a property of the spider that bit him.
** It gets ridiculous during the second movie where he's repeatedly shot with impossibly gigantic bolts of lightning and took the full brunt of enough electricity to power a city. His rubberized suit can do away with some of this, but the heat from the electricity (that people tend to forget about) would've melted it to his skin.
* HeartbrokenBadass: After [[spoiler:Gwen's death in the second movie.]]
* HeartwarmingOrphan: He turns out to be a really good person in spite of the deaths of his parents.
* TheHero: Obviously, he's the main character.
* HeroWithBadPublicity: Initially, to the point the police were actively hunting him and shot him with tasers during the final act of the film. However, he seems to get more and more admirers as he proves himself to be a hero and by the time ''2'' comes around, he seems to have gathered quite a fanbase, including a kid with his own version of Spider-Man's costume. Doesn't stop Jameson from trying to smear him, though.
* HeroicBSOD: In the sequel, [[spoiler:he enters one for ''five months'' after Gwen's death, being too depressed to even be Spider-Man during that time.]]
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Occasionally, he tends to speak about himself negatively, such as telling May at the end of the first film that he isn't good enough for Gwen. However, it's justified as he tends to have a low opinion of himself when he makes life changing mistakes. This attitude gets worse by the time of ''No Way Home''.
* HeroicSpirit: Even before he gains his powers, he already displayed shades of this. [[spoiler:He seems to be losing himself and becoming selfish once he becomes powerful, but he eventually grows out of it, regains his HeroicSpirit and develops it.]]
* HesBack: [[spoiler:After spending five months from being Spider-Man, watching Gwen's graduation speech encourages him to return just in time to fight the Rhino.]]
* HowDoIShotWeb: Overlaps with DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength. It's also played a bit more literally with him creating the web-shooters.
* ILetGwenStacyDie: The death of Uncle Ben, which he could've prevented had he stopped the robber. At the end of the first movie, this is also how he feels about [[spoiler:Captain Stacy.]] [[spoiler:[[ComicBook/TheNightGwenStacyDied And true to form]], the TropeNamer herself is the biggest instance of this, bringing about a serious HeroicBSOD]].
* InterclassFriendship: With Harry Osborn. Peter comes from a middle-class background while Harry's the son of the head and CEO of the biggest corporations in New York.
* IShallTauntYou: A master of battle insult.
* IconicSequelOutfit: Peter's suit in the [[Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan first movie]] has its fans, but was criticized for the many creative liberties taken with the design, especially the small yellow eyes. In response, the suit was redesigned in [[Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2 the sequel]] with large, white eyes for what is arguably the most comic-accurate Spider-Man suit to date, [[WinBackTheCrowd to much warmer reception]].
* IdiotBall: Twice, both in the first film:
** Spider-Man, already a known vigilante, grabs it when he uses devices that have a "Property of Peter Parker" sticker attached on, in a scenario in which he knows his smart arch-enemy is lurking around. His enemy quickly tries to take advantage of this mistake.
** Peter figures out that Connors is The Lizard after finding a hideous mouse/lizard hybrid in Connors' lab, but he doesn't realize he has actual proof to connect Connors and the monstrosity and instead runs straight to Captain Stacy and gives a YouHaveToBelieveMe speech that gets him thrown out of the precinct.
* ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies: [[spoiler:Captain Stacy [[LastRequest makes him promise]] to pull this on Gwen to keep her safe.]] They eventually got back together in the sequel, but [[spoiler:Peter tried to pull this again because he felt guilty, only for ''Gwen'' to break up with him instead because she couldn't live with his constant doubts, subverting the trope.]]
* JerkassHasAPoint: While he was acting out during his argument with Uncle Ben, he was right to be mad at him for bringing up his late father and guilt-tripping him, both of which are pretty unfair.
* JerkassRealization: After George Stacy tells Peter that Spider-Man is nothing more than a vigilante with a grudge who is assaulting people with physical similarities, Peter realizes that despite what he had thought, he hasn't actually been helping anyone but himself. This encourages him to go and fight the Lizard and let go of his desire to find Ben's killer.
* KickChick: Gender Inverted. In contrast to Tobey's version, Andrew's version prefers kicking his enemies instead of punching.
* KidHero: Downplayed as he became Spider-Man at the age of 17 in this version, instead of 15 like in the comics.
* LawyerFriendlyCameo:
** He did not make a physical appearance in the massive ComicBook/SpiderVerse crossover event due to Sony owning the rights to his incarnation of the character. However, the comic at one point leaves a strong implication that he along with his [[Film/SpiderManTrilogy original movie counterpart]] were indeed among the dozens of Spider-Men recruited into the battle against Morlun and the Inheritors, as there's a brief moment where two Spider-Men remark that they saw two other Spider-Men that looked exactly like "[[Creator/AndrewGarfield the guy]] from ''Film/TheSocialNetwork''" and "[[Creator/TobeyMaguire the guy]] from ''Film/{{Seabiscuit}}''."
** He later made a physical cameo in the final issue of ''ComicBook/SpiderGeddon''. Interestingly, the comic depicts him in his ''[=TASM1=]'' outfit despite coming out in 2018.
** Given that he is surprised by the existence of TheMultiverse in ''No Way Home'' and the Marvel wiki has removed this information from his page, it can be assumed that these two are [[BroadStrokes similar but different versions]] of the Earth-120703 version.
* LeParkour: His acrobatics and physical prowess are somewhat similar to this.
* LightningBruiser: He's extremely fast and agile and easily dodges most of his opponent's attacks and has also been shown to be very strong as he's capable of holding large vehicles. Of course, compared to the Lizard, himself a LightningBruiser, Spidey comes across as a FragileSpeedster and is clearly outmatched against him in a straight fight.
* LonersAreFreaks: Why he is bullied since he is less of a stereotypical nerd in school (he shows his geeky side in private instead).
* LovableNerd: A more downplayed case than with other versions as he's more of an outsider than a nerd.
* MadeOfIron: Peter's durability is somewhat inconsistent: he gets realistic bruises on his face and knuckles from fighting ordinary humans, but can keep on fighting after being slammed around, thrown through walls and beaten up by the super-strong Lizard.
* MaskedLuchador: {{Invoked|Trope}}. Peter gets the inspiration for his Spider-Man mask from a ''lucha libre'' poster.
* MasterOfTheMixedMessage: He breaks up with Gwen near the end of the first film only to change his mind, and then he breaks up with her again at the start of the second film, which leaves her angry. Then they try being friends, though his actions clearly show he wants to be with her, and eventually they decide to be a couple again, with him planning to move to England with her. It's justified however in that Peter feels guilty [[spoiler:about breaking his promise to a dying George Stacy to stay away from Gwen, which conflicts with his love for her and causes these situations.]]
* MidSeasonUpgrade: Gwen helps him make web-shooters that are much more durable and resistant to electricity because Electro short-circuited his web-shooters earlier in the movie.
* MovieSuperheroesWearBlack: His costume's much darker than the [[Characters/SpiderManTrilogySpiderMan previous iteration]] and has dark yellow lenses instead of white. {{Averted|Trope}} in the sequel where his costume's much brighter and has the traditional white lenses from the comics.
* MiseryBuildsCharacter: This version of Spider-Man is famously shaped by [[ParentalAbandonment his]] [[ILetGwenStacyDie losses]].
* MotorMouth: When he's Spider-Man, he's a huge chatterbox which throws his opponents off-guard because of how much he's irritating them.
* MundaneUtility: He uses his webs to twirl Gwen in for a kiss in the first film and in the second to grab a coffee mug meters away and write "I Love You" on the side of the Brooklyn Bridge.
* MusclesAreMeaningless: He has a slender (though still fairly muscular) build, but he's strong enough to lift cars.
* MyGreatestFailure: At first, it was his Uncle Ben's, which inspired him to become Spider-Man. Then it was Captain Stacy's, whose death weighed heavily on his conscience during the beginning of the second film. And finally [[spoiler:it was Gwen's, which completely broke him as he revealed to the other Peters in ''Spider-Man: No Way Home''.]]
* MyGreatestSecondChance: [[spoiler:He saves [=MCU=] MJ from dying the same way Gwen did in ''Spider-Man: No Way Home''.]]
* MythologyGag: Peter spends some scenes wearing his clothes from ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan''.
* NerdsAreSexy: He's pretty good-looking and handsome even before the spider bite.
* NiceGuy: Aunt May goes out of her way to note how inherently ''good'' he is. The only time he doesn't count as this is when he picks up the JerkassBall in the first movie. Also, he is one of the only two people to have ever been kind to Max Dillon, the other being Gwen.
* TheOathBreaker: [[spoiler:Before dying, George Stacy makes Peter promise him that he would stay away from Gwen to save her from the dangers that comes into Peter's life as a superhero. Peter ultimately backs out on it, and has been hallucinating George's "ghost" due to guilt since. Unfortunately, George was proven right as Gwen ultimately dies by Harry Osborn's hands.]]
* OneManArmy: Par for the course, he's this. He takes down a group of people in a subway ''without intending to'' and manages to take down a SWAT team after breaking free of his handcuffs later on.
* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: Up until he gets bitten by a genetically-engineered spider, that is.
* ParentalAbandonment: His parents left him with his aunt and uncle to keep him safe from harm when they realized someone dangerous was after them. They both died before they could reunite with their son. His Uncle Ben is later murdered by a common thug that Peter allowed to escape.
* PartingWordsRegret: He had a very tense argument with his Uncle Ben before he was killed by the mugger Peter allowed to get away.
* PersonalGainHurts: [[spoiler:Peter uses his new powers to get back at Flash and sets off a chain of events that ultimately lead to Uncle Ben's death (hinging on Peter thinking of himself first before others).]]
* PleaseWakeUp: [[spoiler:When Gwen dies in the final battle of ''2''.]]
* PrimaryColorChampion: As per usual, his costume prominently sports red and blue.
* ProjectileWebbing: Unlike his previous depiction, he uses actual web-shooters.
* TheProtagonist: The main character of the series.
* PuppyDogEyes: In the sequel, [[spoiler:after they've broken up and laying ground-rules about being just friends]], Gwen notes that Peter has to stop looking at her like he does with "those big doe eyes".
* RefusalOfTheCall: He refused to stop a common criminal because it wasn't his policy (and because the clerk was an entitled {{Jerkass}} to him). This ends up biting him as the criminal ends up killing his Uncle Ben not long after.
* RelationshipRevolvingDoor: After [[spoiler:George Stacy's death]], he breaks up with Gwen to [[spoiler:uphold the promise he made him keep to stay away from her so she could be safe]]. He and Gwen spend most of the sequel figuring out if they should resume their relationship or not. [[spoiler:When they decide to resume it, it's sadly cut short when she gets killed after a fight with the Green Goblin.]]
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: His first ventures as Spider-Man focus ''solely'' on avenging Uncle Ben's death. He goes around chasing any criminal who might be the killer and loses interest if they're not the right one, even botching police operations in the process. He eventually grows out of it.
* SadClown: Much like his comic book counterpart.
* SecretIdentity: As usual.
* ScienceHero: This side of Spider-Man definitely gets much more emphasis in this movie. Midtown High is even renamed Midtown Science High (and it makes sense since a lot of public high schools in America are now getting renames like this, especially if they're a charter school or a public magnet school).
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: "Maybe he ''[Spider-Man]'' is trying to do something the police can't!"
* ShonenHair: He often has some serious bed-head going on.
* SingleTargetSexuality: He shows a little interest in Sally Avril when he thinks she's flirting with him at the start of the first film, but he never shows a serious interest in anyone but Gwen. [[spoiler:By ''No Way Home'', this has resulted in him not moving on since her death.]]
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Gender-flipped, he's head over heels for [[NiceGirl Gwen]] this time around.
* SinisterShades: He evokes the trope in his first disguise before creating the Spider-Man suit.
* TheSmartGuy: He's able to figure out how to construct a costume and create functional webbing based on research and a bit of elbow grease. While still intelligent, he's less of this trope in the second movie due to Gwen taking on the role.
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: He wears his dad's eyeglasses on occasion.
* SmugSuper: The first film explores what Peter might be like if he started his superhero career without quite grasping the "WithGreatPowerComesGreatResponsibility" concept. He's vicious, arrogant, and pretty angry at the world for not thinking of him as a hero without actually proving it (just beating up thugs and possibly hindering the police instead of helping them). He comes off as someone who thinks by having superpowers, TheCall is theirs to answer as they see fit and not take into consideration how they can use their powers to better the world. Justified to a degree, since he was on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge against the one who shot Uncle Ben, but he's still a fairly self-centered hero until he finally has a chance to prove it against The Lizard.
* SneakySpider: As Spider-Man, Peter uses his quips, web-shooters, and overall ingenuity to take on villains stronger than himself. At one point during his fight with the Lizard at Midtown, he hits him with two ceiling lights to momentarily distract him and sneak up on him from behind.
* SociallyAwkwardHero: Just look at his early interactions with Gwen.
* SpandexLatexOrLeather: Spandex. He picks it from athletic suits. Which is FridgeBrilliance considering the amount of acrobatics he does and his ability to dodge bullets (most of the time, at least).
-->'''Peter:''' ''[searching for athletic apparel]'' Spandex. Spandex. ''Everything'' is spandex.
* SpecsOfAwesome: Unlike other versions of the character, his Spider-powers don't do anything to cure his eyesight disorders. Even after he becomes Spider-Man, Peter still keeps using glasses and contacts. Also, Spider-Man's eyes are mirrored lenses.
* SpeechImpediment: He's prone to stuttering when nervous. And that happens a lot.
* SpiderSense: It's a bit hard to tell, but it is there. It even made him react automatically when he couldn't control it yet. It's called out a bit more in one scene when he senses Electro long before Electro has even done anything malicious or dangerous.
* StalkerWithACrush: The first film quickly establishes that Peter had been taking pictures of Gwen without her knowledge. [[spoiler:After they break up, he starts to watch her from afar to make sure she's ok.]]
* StealthHiBye: When confronting the car thief, he escapes out of the car in the time it takes the thief to slip out the window and attack him from behind.
* SuperPowerLottery: After getting bitten by the spider, he received SuperStrength, SuperSpeed, SuperToughness, SuperReflexes, the ability to WallCrawl, and of course, the SpiderSense.
* SuperReflexes:
** While he still needs to wear glasses or contacts, his reflexes are heightened to the point where he could NonchalantDodge a police officer shooting at him from point-blank range.
** In ''2'', he's able to react to Electro's blasts and dodge accordingly.
* SuperSpeed: Fast enough to easily and casually dodge gunfire in ''1'' and Electro's blasts in ''2''.
* SuperStrength: His physical strength greatly improves when he gains his powers. It's a bit too early to tell how strong he is, but he is at least able to hold onto the weight of a large van.
* SuperToughness: He definitely has it or he would have died halfway through the movies. He has been slammed into brick walls, blasted through drywall, hit by an improvised explosive (albeit made from a school chemistry set), fallen from hundreds of feet, and gotten hit by a taser and shrugged it off a few minutes later. He also has managed to handle electric shocks and still keeps fighting. However, he is not ImmuneToBullets nor can he handle being cut by sharp objects (though he survives crashing through windows unscathed).
* TallDarkAndHandsome: The tallest live-action ''film''[[note]]Nicholas Hammond of the [[Series/SpiderMan1977 70s TV series]] is the tallest at 6'" feet[[/note]] incarnation of Peter Parker at 5'10 1/2".
* TallDarkAndSnarky: Mostly as Spider-Man.
* TeenGenius: Creates his own automatic lock, a police scanner, and his own web-shooters. He is also considered the (second) smartest person in his school (after Gwen).
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: His expression right before and when he calls Flash by his [[EmbarrassingFirstName real name]] in order to make him stop bullying a kid and turn him against Peter instead. [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown It works. Ouch.]]
* TiedTogetherShoelaceTrip: Does this to an Oscorp security guard in the sequel to stall him and give Gwen time to escape Oscorp's premises.
* TooDumbToLive: Unlike his previous iteration and his comic book counterpart, who had a spider drop on their hand and bite them during a field trip, this Peter got his powers by impulsively entering a room filled with spiders and fiddled around with their webs. This later caused many of the spiders to latch onto him and one of them to bite him. [[spoiler:If his DNA wasn't compatible with the spiders]], the bite could've killed, poisoned, or at the very least gotten him very sick, but instead, it gave him superpowers.
* TookALevelInDumbass: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] but he ''does'' seem a little more clueless in the second film where Gwen not only seems more mature than him (as she had in the first film too), but also outright smarter (having to remind him of some pretty basic science at the climax after he'd spent much of the film getting nowhere).
* TrashTalk: An absolute master at this. It often works to his benefit as his opponents become increasingly irritable with his incessant chattering, throwing them off-balance.
* TraumaCongaLine: In the first film, his parents abandon him when he's six years old, because of his refusal to catch a thief his uncle Ben is murdered, he's hunted by the police for being a vigilante, and he unwittingly turns Curtis Connors into the Lizard, [[spoiler:which results in the death of George Stacy.]] In the second film, which is only a year later, he breaks up with Gwen [[spoiler:out of guilt]], he discovers his parents left him to try and prevent his father's research from being used for evil purposes and reluctantly refuses to help his dying childhood friend Harry, [[spoiler:which results in him becoming the Green Goblin and killing Gwen just after they got back together.]]
* TruerToTheText:
** Unlike the previous cinematic version, this version of Spider-Man doesn't immediately grasp the idea of responsibility and being a hero after Ben's death. This is closer to how the character acted in the early comics, as it took a few issues before he was fighting crime out of a desire to do good instead of simply trying to make money at the ''Daily Bugle''.
** Unlike his more grounded and introverted Raimi-Verse counterpart, this version is far more of a ScienceHero and MotorMouth like in the comics.
** Thanks to Andrew Garfield's casting, this Peter even bears a stronger physical resemblance towards his comic book counterpart than the Raimi version did. He has brown eyes, a slender yet athletic build, and a height of 5'10 (which is how tall most versions of the character are).
** One of the most famous changes about Spider-Man im the Raimi-trilogy was [[AdaptationalSuperpowerChange to give Spidey organic webs]] instead of using mechanical web-shooters. Here, like in the comics, Peter produces his own shooters and web fluids. According to a story called by Creator/BrianMichaelBendis, it was part of a discussion at Sony if they should keep the organic web from the previous movie or go back to the comic roots.
* TwoFirstNames: ''' Peter Benjamin Parker''' so it's three to be exact.
* UnscrupulousHero: He's this in the first film as he just cares about finding Ben's killer, and he can be brutal in his attacks. However, after CharacterDevelopment kicks in, he becomes the hero he is better known to be. [[spoiler:''No Way Home'' reveals that after Gwen's death, he fell back into this, if not worse based on his comments, as he was unable to deal with all he has lost.]]
* UpbringingMakesTheHero: It's clear that this is why he's a good person. Aunt May and Uncle Ben raised him right, and probably so did his biological parents before they disappeared and later, died.
* VaporWear: Creator/AndrewGarfield has admitted that, during Spidey scenes, the suit is all he wears.
* VigilanteMan: Spider-Man is initially seen as this by the police, which is why they and Captain Stacy are hunting him as Stacy is quick to point out he's just a guy with a vendetta. Thankfully CharacterDevelopment kicks in and by the second film Spider-Man is more popular due to being a genuine hero.
* VisualPun: When Peter is working with Dr. Connors using the holographic interface, several lines that look like webbing connect to his fingers.
* WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld: Though by the time of the sequel, he's at college, meaning his schedule is a little more lenient.
* WallCrawl: Naturally, it's his primary ability as Spider-Man.
* WeakButSkilled: This adaptation of Peter frequently faces off against supervillains much more powerful than him so he has to use his fighting skills or strategic mind to keep up.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: He and Harry were the best of friends since they were children but the events of the second film tore their friendship to pieces.
* WhereDoesHeGetAllThoseWonderfulToys: He wove his suit himself taking inspiration on athletic suits; the web fluid is actually developed by Oscorp as a "bio-cable", but the web-shooters are entirely his own creation.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatPerks: After getting the hang of his powers, he initially used it for personal satisfaction like studying on the edge of a roof, standing up to his high school bully, and performing unique skateboard tricks and acrobatics. [[DeathByOriginStory Then his uncle gets murdered by a criminal he refused to stop and allowed to get away.]]
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatResponsibility: The movie's version of the mandate initially leans more toward "[[GoodSamaritan Do what you can to help other people]]" than "[[PersonalGainHurts Do what you do for others before yourself]]," though both aspects are explored. He starts out as Spider-Man thinking of himself first by being motivated by {{Revenge}} but learns to work for the greater good.
* WreckedWeapon: Twice, to show just how powerful his villains are.
** In the first film, The Lizard crushes both of his web shooters in the final battle. He repairs both of them by the end of the movie.
** In the second, he gets one of his web shooters fried by Electro in their first battle and he spends a good chunk of the film trying to make it more durable and resistant to electricity. Gwen later helps him magnetize his web-shooters, which come in handy against Electro in their final fight.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Despite not starting as one, he does do a frankensteiner on a car thief.
* YouFightLikeACow: He'll drop an insult at least ''once'' a fight.
* YouKilledMyFather: Peter has not been successful in finding and bringing Uncle Ben's killer to justice.

* AdaptationalDumbass: Ben gets hit with this hard. Unlike the tragic twist of fate usually present with his death, Ben's killer never had any intention of robbing him. Instead, the thief tripped which caused his gun to fall to the ground, only for Ben to try and stop him from grabbing it, which led to his death. It's worth noting that not only is it legal to carry a gun in New York so long as someone has the right permit (though it's highly unlikely the robber had one), but at his age Ben wouldn't have been able to do anything to stop the man from escaping and probably could have helped better by providing a description to the police. So Ben's foolish decision to try and be a hero resulted in his death, traumatising his nephew and leaving his wife a widow.

Added DiffLines:

** His alternate death scenes also has elements of this, as he follows his killer down a dark alleyway in the middle of the night. However, it's more justifiable since he's out looking for Peter and mistook the thief for his nephew, while it can be argued that he was panicking so much about what could happen to Peter that he didn't think things through.

* BadassNormal: Apparently, there is a very small degree of AuthorityEqualsAsskicking. [[spoiler:Though he doesn't really get his moment until very late in the movie when he takes on The Lizard one-on-one armed with just a shotgun and liquid nitrogen. However, [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice it doesn't end well...]]]]
