History Characters / MCUPeterParker

* SuperLoser: Being Spider-Man does not prevent him from being a dweeby, rather unpopular teen at school.

->For tropes applying to his appearance in Film/SonysSpiderManUniverse, see [[Characters/SonysSpiderManUniverse here]].

** He had a much more sour relationship with Ned Leeds in the comics, even without the [[BrainwashedAndCrazy Brainwashed and Crazy]]. Here, Peter is best friends with the guy.

* ComesGreatResponsibility: Par the norm for the character. He tells Tony that he carries out superheroics (even when the Avengers and other superheroes exist) because he feels as though bad things will happen to other people if he doesn't, and after what presumably happened with Uncle Ben, he doesn't want anyone to suffer by his inaction. He also declines to try out for the football team even though he's always wanted to play, as it wouldn't be fair with his superhuman abilities.

* CharacterDevelopment: When he starts off as a hero, he mostly sticks to the shadows and does little things to help out his neighborhood. His introduction to Tony Stark and the Avengers (plus a new suit) in ''Civil War'' gave him a huge confidence boost and he begins to work more openly and interact with his fellow New Yorkers. Most of his time in ''Homecoming'' is spent trying to prove himself to Stark and become an official member of the Avengers to save the world. By the end of the film, Peter is given the chance to join but turns it down because he decides he'd rather stay close to the ground and help out the little guy. Come ''Far From Home'', he's content to try and settle down for a bit after he's been dead for five years and Tony sacrificed himself to stop Thanos, especially because he's being pressured to become the next Iron Man. Thanks to [[spoiler:Mysterio's]] manipulations, he's able to step up to the plate and become the hero he was meant to be...only for [[spoiler:Beck to screw him over again and out him to the public while simultaneously framing him for murder.]] After a serious of events drop the Sam Rami and Marc Webb ''Spider-Man'' villains into the MCU and leads to the original Green Goblin [[spoiler:killing Aunt May]], he really learns the hard way that old adage "With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility" and [[spoiler:selflessly gives up everything to wipe out all knowledge of Peter Parker from his home universe to ensure a gaggle of foes who know his name throughout the multiverse won't overcrowd and destroy Earth.]]

* ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies: In the end of ''No Way Home'', [[spoiler:Peter decides that in order to keep those he once cared about safe from the dangers of knowing him and his enemies, he must to distance himself from them so he won't lose anyone else like how he lost Aunt May and nearly MJ.]]

* HeelRealization: Peter has one in ''No Way Home'' [[spoiler: after initially disregarding May's advice to help the displaced multiversal villains, when he realizes that he will be sending them back to their universes to die. He seems to have another when Peter-2 interrupts his attempt to murder Green Goblin despite knowing Norman Osborne is still overtaken by him, which would've made Peter the murderer that he was accused of.]]

** Downplayed. As Peter's just starting out he doesn't really ''have'' a reputation, good or bad. People mostly treat him as some weird curiosity off of [=YouTube=].

** He blames himself for the death of those who are closest to him, such as his Uncle Ben, Tony Stark, [[spoiler:and his Aunt May. Not helped by Mysterio, J. Jonah Jameson, and Green Goblin also [[TheyDiedBecauseOfYou blaming him for two out of those three deaths]].]]

* ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies: Towards the end of ''No Way Home'', [[spoiler:Peter realize that in order to keep those he once cared about safe from the dangers of knowing him and his enemies is to distance himself from them so he won't lose anyone else like how he lost Aunt May and nearly MJ.]]

* IWillFindYou: [[spoiler:Just before he is erased from their memories, Peter promises MJ and Ned he will find them again, and make everything right between them. Although he keeps his promise to find them again, Peter doesn't fulfill the rest of his word to MJ and Ned, as he fears putting them in danger and upending their lives again, especially when he hears that they got into MIT. Thus, he avoids them in order to keep them safe and secure their futures.]]

** In ''Homecoming'' regarding his first major crush Liz. Seeing how he ends up handing her father over to the authorities, which leads to her moving to Oregon, and they were on somewhat bad terms since he was forced to ditch her at the dance, it makes sense that things were doomed for them after that.
** Averted, however, in ''Far From Home,'' where he hooks up with MJ. ''No Way Home'', [[spoiler:however, plays this straight. To prevent the universe from getting overcrowded with multiversal villains who knew his identity, Peter tells Strange to cast a new spell to make everyone forget who Peter Parker is, Michelle included. He gets the opportunity to tell her, but decides not to since her life has less danger without him in it.]]
* DidNotThinkThisThrough: A smart teenager he may be, but Peter is still a teenager, with all the occasional moments of stupid impulsivity that entails.

** All his post-Mysterio problems in ''No Way Home'' come from the fact that when his college applications are rejected he immediately tries to ask Doctor Strange to solve all his problems via very dangerous magic, before even going for an appeal... though in fairness to Peter, he didn't know that was an option until Stephen brought it up.

* SkewedPriorities: Either because of nerves or because he's just a teenager, but when he picks up the Guardians of the Galaxy approaching on Titan, he wastes time pre-emptively apologizing about potentially being turned into an egg-delivery vector, rather than just ''saying'' people are coming, and by the time he does it's too late.

** The trailer for ''Infinity War'' shows Peter riding a bus when his hairs suddenly stand on end. Cue the sinister-looking spaceship hovering over New York.

%%* BothSidesHaveAPoint:

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:To help mend the multiverse, he allows a reluctant Doctor Strange to revamp his spell to erase the memory of Peter Parker from everybody he's ever known and loved, including [=MJ=], Ned, Happy and the other Avengers.]]

* HeelRealization: Peter has one in ''No Way Home'', [[spoiler: when he realize that he is sending innocent people back to their universes to die and it would make him the murder that everyone, except for those who are closes to him, is accusing him of being, due to events with Mysterio.]]

* HeelRealization: Peter has one in ''No Way Home'', [[spoiler: when he realize that he is sending innocent people back to their universes to die and it would make him the murder that everyone, except for those who are closes, is accusing of him being, due to events with Mysterio.]]

* NeverBeHurtAgain: Part of his reasons for closing himself off from those he was once close too, friends, girlfriend, allies and fellow superheroes, so he won't be hurt again, due to losing his loved ones, Uncle Ben and Aunt May, and Tony Stark, after he was forgotten through Strange's second spell.

* NiceGuy: He's a warm and good-natured person who ultimately wants to make the world safer with his powers. [[TheHeart Captain America]] even thinks he's a good kid in spite of being pitted against him. Even [[TheStoic Doctor Strange]], while annoyed by him every once in a while, admires his kindness and compassion, [[spoiler:especially after Peter insists he erases him from everybody's memories to save the multiverse.]]

* ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies: Towards the end of ''No Way Home'', Peter realize that in order to keep those he once cared about safe from the dangers of knowing him and his enemies is to distance himself from them so he won't lose anyone else like he lost Tony Stark and Aunt May.

** Towards the end of ''No Way Home'', Peter carries on with being Spider-Man despite losing basically ''everything else'', not only because [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatResponsibility it's the right thing to do]], but also to atone for the mistakes he made over his appearances.

* AudienceSurrogate: In addition to being a [[AscendedFanBoy superhero fanboy]] he [[MetaGuy hangs several]] {{lampshade|Hanging}}s about common comic book trappings during the fight in ''Civil War'', such as that Cap's shield-throwing does not obey the laws of physics.

* BornUnlucky: As expected from any Spider-Man. In just his first solo movie, he is bullied by Flash, gets no respect from Happy and Tony, causes the elevator and barge accidents (the latter, he tries to fix it and yet the thing collapses again because he misses one spot) and discovers the same guy he's fighting is the father of his date.

** This bites him in the ass hard in ''No Way Home''. [[spoiler:Due to immense guilt for MJ and Ned not getting into MIT, on top of the harassment May and Happy suffer, he immediately goes to Dr. Strange for a memory wipe spell without consulting anyone. When the spell is butchered and instead ends up bringing in villains from across the multiverse, rather than sending the villains home immediately which would make everyone's lives much easier, the absolute second Peter finds out that they are all but guaranteed to die upon their return galvanizes him to keeping them on his Earth to help and heal them before sending them back. While he succeeds, and even is able to help the other two Spideys rectify past pains and sins, he loses absolutely everything in the process. May is dead and there's no one left on Earth that remembers him. He is now utterly alone in a way no other Spider-Man is, but he still trudges on as a hero.]]

* ClassicalAntiHero: Not at first, as this Spidey gets a much more lighter start to his career as a true NiceGuy with few issues, though the usual "unassuming schoolkid nerd that seems far from the average hero" part is consistent. But as the consequences of his rambunctious and energetic heroics start to rack up and he's continuously ''beat down'' by bad event after bad event, the cracks start to wear in on Peter. By the time of ''Far From Home'', he's practically looking for any excuse to actually enjoy the trip with MJ rather than be a hero after the whole ''Endgame'' war and his five years of death-by-snap, while starting to have severe doubts about whether he's fit for being Tony's successor with mounting pressure to be the next Iron Man -- and by the time [[spoiler:Mysterio]] pulls the ruse on him, he ''really'' takes it hard. As ''No Way Home'' proceeds with [[ImmediateSequel no chance to recuperate from the previous movie]], [[spoiler:it beats on him more and more until he's practically broken, and the classic Spider-Man self-loathing and self-depreciation has settled in, finalizing as all but abandoning his own happiness and future in favor for protecting anyone and everyone he can.]]

* ComesGreatResponsibility: Par the norm for the character. He tells Tony that he carries out superheroics (even when the Avengers and other superheroes exist) because he feels as though bad things happen to other people if he doesn't, and after what presumably happened with Uncle Ben, he doesn't want anyone to suffer by his inaction. He also declines to try out for the football team even though he's always wanted to play, as it wouldn't be fair with his superhuman abilities.
* CompositeCharacter: He's a young Peter Parker with his scientific knowledge and a modernized take on his family life, but he also borrows from [[Characters/MarvelComicsMilesMorales Miles Morales]]; like Miles, he attends a specialist academy for gifted students, and his best friend is himself a composite of Miles Morales' friend Ganke Lee and Peter's friend Ned Leeds. Additionally, his being recruited by Tony Stark shortly after starting his career as Spider-Man is much like how [[ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan Ultimate Peter]] and later Miles was recruited by Nick Fury -- whose MCU counterpart would go on to mentor him in ''Far From Home''. He's a huge fanboy of the older superheroes just like Peter from ''WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan2012''. [[spoiler:''No Way Home'' ends with him being erased from everyone's memory, including his allies and loved ones]], which makes him similar to ComicBook/TheSentry, and his role also takes some inspiration from the Miles in ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse'' due to being the youngest of the three Spider-Men and losing a family member at the hands of the film's main antagonist.

** His younger age puts a tighter narrative focus on how being a teen aged superhero can compromise your personal life at a uniquely messy point. Before becoming Spider-Man, he was involved in several extracurricular activities and much closer to his friends and family. Most of the time he doesn't flake on them to fight a crime-in-progress but to simply go on patrol, looking for trouble. Furthermore, he's also more child than adult and acts the part. Yes, he is extremely intelligent, but his naïvety, poor judgement, weak impulse control, unthinking destructiveness, and lack of introspection and self-awareness are all things that you could honestly expect to see from someone his age in his position. He may be a prodigy, but he's still a teenager and teenagers do stupid stuff. With that said, however, his young age and inexperience also give him a strong moral compass and a desire to help out as many people as he can, including the average joes the Avengers tend to ignore. This makes Peter decide to turn down the offer to join the team as he can fill that niche while Stark and his teammates can't.
** The MCU incarnation as a whole is supposed to this to the tropes that have defined Spider-Man since his debut in TheSixties, particularly the "Self-sufficient superhero" and "[[WorkingClassHero Friendly neighborhood Spider-Man]]" aspects by making them take place in TheNewTens. Peter is introduced as having built his own web-shooters and fighting crime in a costume, but his gear is ''much'' lower-grade than that of the Avengers and his costume barely passes as a B-grade cosplay. In addition, his secret identity is far harder to maintain due the rise of the rapid coverage of news and social media. In general, this Peter ''was'' a self-sufficient hero -with all the troubles it entailed- but in order to get his hands on the proper gear and maintenance to deal with larger threats he needed outside funding.

* DestructiveSavior: Specifically in his first solo movie, ''Homecoming'', where his inexperience is showcased at every turn. In his swings he often breaks stuff and, when dealing with the bad guys, has a tendency to cause more damage than might have occurred without his intervention.

* DitzyGenius: In ''No Way Home'' when he, MJ and Ned don't get into MIT due to him being Spider-Man, Peter contacts Dr. Strange to cast a spell to make everyone forget his secret identity, except for MJ, Ned, May, Happy, and pretty much everyone who knew he was Spider-Man before he was exposed. Due to the dangers of Peter constantly rewriting his spell, a belligerent Strange calls it off. He apologizes to Peter, stating that even though MIT didn't accept them and Peter pleaded his case...

* DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: Peter has pretty good control over his super strength, but said control humorously slips up a few times when he's nervous or upset. In ''Far From Home'', his abilities appear to be getting stronger, leading to a few slip ups with his strength. While on the bus, he accidentally knocks Flash unconscious while trying to get Tony's glasses back from him and hitting his face. Peter is comically horrified at this. While getting into a car with Happy, he accidentally snaps the seat-belt off from the car when trying to put it on.
* DontTellMama: He doesn't tell Aunt May about his super-heroics because she'd freak out which would make ''him'' freak out. He webs Tony's hand to the door knob of his room and firmly says "Don't tell Aunt May" when Tony is about to leave.

* DumpsterDive: Due to being lower-class, he ends up taking useful stuff (like ''the'' Macintosh) from a junkyard and snatching usable items people have thrown out.

* FanBoy: Of the Avengers, but mainly Iron Man and Captain America. While being a fan of the former ends up being a significant focus of his character arc across his first five appearances in the MCU, the latter is handled with more subtlety. For instance, in ''Far From Home'', when [[spoiler:Mysterio is in the middle of trying to psychologically break Spider-Man by exploiting his insecurities, they fight on top of a projection of a toppled Captain America statue, implying that Captain America no longer leading the Avengers is something that weighs heavily upon his mind]].

** In ''No Way Home'', [[spoiler:his jumping into extreme, rather than mundane measures to restore his secret identity and aid his loved ones ultimately ends in a horrific case of DisasterDominoes, culminating in him losing his last remaining relative, friends and Avengers allies]].

** Tony Stark. Both are [[RedIsHeroic superheroes dressed in red]], scientific geniuses who fashioned their own suits and tools (even if Pete's original suit was just a homemade onesie with swimming goggles and a red ski mask), and both are very witty wisecrackers, who sometimes use their wittiness to hide their emotional pain. Both, however, come from radically different economic backgrounds: Tony was born into money and is a [[CrimefightingWithCash successful billionaire inventor with unlimited money and cutting-edge tech at his fingertips]], while Pete's family is of [[WorkingClassHero comparatively modest means, and everything he built was made from what he could scrounge]]. Age also plays a big part in differentiating them: by the time Tony and Peter meet, Tony has been saving the world as Iron Man for some years, while Peter has been playing the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man for only a few months. Tony has more experience under his belt and is all the wiser for it, while Peter is young and naïve, not quite realizing the limits of his strengths until they come back to bite him in the ass. Both are also {{chick magnet}}s but while Tony was a womanizer before settling down with Pepper, Peter only has two love interests he primarily focuses on in his respective solo movies.
** Steve Rogers. Both are New York natives (Steve is from Brooklyn, Peter from Queens) who come from less privileged backgrounds, JumpedAtTheCall, and are so eager to do the right thing that they will ignore orders or attempt to punch outside their weight class. Cap is a much more strategic combatant where Spidey is a bit more impulsive. As of ''No Way Home'' [[spoiler:Peter Parker has also lost all contact with his friends and family, like Steve Rogers. Except in his case it was due to a spell that wiped all knowledge of Peter Parker rather than being frozen for decades.]]
** Scott Lang. Both of them are new heroes whose abilities and names are based off of arthropods. Both are the SixthRanger to their side, are extremely intelligent and quirky, and turn the tide of the airport battle repeatedly. The difference is Scott is WeakButSkilled while Peter is UnskilledButStrong. They're also at the opposite ends of the age range, with Peter being in high school while Scott is a parent. Also, while Peter looks up to Tony Stark and was told that Cap went rogue, Scott worships Captain America and was warned by Hank Pym not to trust Iron Man. In addition, Peter and Scott both have opposite outcomes after their involvement in ''Civil War''. Peter simply goes back to school and gets on with his life, whereas Scott is placed under house arrest for two years with Hank and Hope paying the price for his actions. After ''Endgame'', however, Scott makes his efforts to undo the Snap known. He has merchandise such as costumes, backpacks and a memoir based on his time with the Avengers. While Scott capitalises on his newfound fame, Peter has his own life ruined by infamy after Mysterio doctors some camera footage to accuse him of murder. Even though the allegation is dismissed, Peter becomes a polarising figure and several colleges turn him down based on this reason. Aunt May, MJ, and Ned suffer too due to their association with him.

* GadgeteerGenius: He designed a formula for bio-synthetic webbing and constructed it with scraps from the garbage without previous exposure to a lab or engineering. He also sketched the design for and created his web shooters using leftovers from the dumpster. Tony Stark is visibly impressed with this in their first meeting. While Tony Stark or Shuri have had resources and opportunities to spare as to improve their tech, Peter [[WorkingClassHero has managed to make do with the small stuff]]. Peter also mentions building and programming computers in his spare time, and he uses his knowledge of physics in both ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'' and ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming''. He identifies Falcon's wings as being constructed of carbon-fiber due to their "flexibility-rigidity ratio" and uses that to his advantage, and uses his suit's A.I. system to pinpoint the strongest points in the ferry in order to web it together.

* GuiltComplex: Peter doesn't blame anyone but himself for his mistakes and the tragedies in his lives, such as the deaths of his uncle, Iron Man, and his aunt, and for ruining the lives of those he cares about. Peter's guilt is part of the reason why he decided to not make contact with those he once associated with after they have forgotten about him through Strange's second spell, as he not only wants to protect them but also believes himself to be too dangerous to be around.

** By the end of ''Far From Home'', [[spoiler:Peter is framed for killing Quentin Beck and for the drone attacks thanks to doctored footage being shown on the Daily Bugle--one of the people of whom watching the report on this is ''Venom''.]] The effects of this was shown in ''No Way Home''.

* ILetGwenStacyDie: It's implied that he decided to become a superhero after he failed to prevent his uncle's death, which he feels responsible for. While he doesn't explain specifically what happened, he says that when you have his abilities and don't use them for good, and then "the bad things happen... they happen because of you."

* InTheEndYouAreOnYourOwn: After Peter has Strange erase everybody's memories of him, he ends up the most alone anybody in the MCU has ever been. He still decides to fight on as Spider-Man thanks to [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatResponsibility the lessons Aunt May and his multiverse counterparts]] left him with, fighting crime independently while flat broke in a professional suit of his own making just like his comic book incarnations.

** He formed a friendship with Norman Osborn while working together with him in making cures for the multiverse-displaced villains. Also, despite Green Goblin taking over Norman's mind, betraying Peter, and killing May, Peter still considers Norman a friend as he was convinced to cure him of his alter ego.

** He blames himself for the death of those who are closest to him, such as his Uncle Ben, Tony Stark, and his Aunt May. Not helped by Mysterio, J. Jonah Jameson, and Green Goblin also [[TheyDiedBecauseOfYou blaming him for two out of those three deaths]].

* ItsPersonal: With Green Goblin, who murders Aunt May. He even tries to kill Goblin with the latter's own glider's blades, knowing full well the relatively innocent Norman personality is still inside him, which would have made Peter the murderer he's accused of being throughout ''No Way Home'' had Peter-2 not stopped him. Peter has ''NEVER'' gone this far with any villain before, and stands in stark contrast to his rescue of Vulture at the end of ''Homecoming'' to show how much Goblin [[ArchEnemy hurt him]].
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: While in the new reality where he has been erased from everyone's memory, Peter cannot find the right words to remind MJ of who he is and what they were to each other before Strange's spell. He still can't help but give off a smile when learning that she and Ned have both been accepted into MIT, and she seems to be a much more optimistic person than she was before. In the end, Peter decides that MJ and Ned are better off not knowing who he is, as it will keep them safe.
* IWillFindYou: Just before he is erased from their memories, Peter promises MJ and Ned he will find them again, and make everything right between them. Although he keeps his promise to find them again, Peter doesn't fulfill the rest of his word to MJ and Ned, as he fears putting them in danger and upending their lives again, especially when he hears that they got into MIT. Thus, he avoids them in order to keep them safe and secure their futures.

* {{Knighting}}: After two films of him trying to convince Tony Stark to let him become an Avenger, Peter tags along in ''Infinity War'' when Tony jumps onto a spaceship leaving Earth. Since Tony has no way of sending him home and they've reached the [[PointOfNoReturn point of no return]], he taps Peter on his shoulders like he's knighting him, and announces, "Alright kid... you're an Avenger now." It takes Peter a second to realize what just happened.
* KnightInSourArmor: The entire point of his CharacterDevelopment. Over time, Peter finds out how dangerous and demanding being a superhero is to both himself and his loved ones, and his ordeals just keeps getting harder. Ultimately, [[spoiler:it gets to a point where Peter [[UnPerson sacrifices his own personal life]] to fix a CosmicFlaw he accidentally caused.]]

--->'''Spider-Man:''' Are those carbon fiber wings? That would explain the rigidity flexibility ratio, which, gotta say, that's awesome, man.\\

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: His introduction in the second ''Civil War'' trailer has Tony Stark announce to the world at large that he's run out of patience, which cues Spidey to grab Captain America's shield and proceed to greet the cast but also the audience that has been waiting for him to show up.

* LockedOutOfTheLoop: According to Peter himself, the only background to the airport fight Stark told him about is that Cap is wrong, but he thinks he's right. Cap even {{lampshade|Hanging}}s this and tells him that there's more going on than he thinks. Unfortunately, Stark also told Spidey that Cap would say that. A flashback in ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'' goes deeper and shows that the only thing Peter was actually told was that [[BlatantLies Captain America has gone crazy]] and needed to be stopped.

* MoralityPet: While Tony becomes a ParentalSubstitute for him in ''Homecoming'', Peter becomes this for him in a LittleBrotherIsWatching kind of way. He doesn't want Peter emulating his bad behavior and part of that is not behaving badly to begin with. In ''Endgame'', Tony stares at a picture of him and Peter together as if to show remorse for letting him die. Furthermore, it's implied that the desire to bring Peter back to life is what motivates Tony to work out the time travel plan.

** He sports wings under his suit's arms, much like how he was drawn in his first appearance by Creator/SteveDitko. The wings also allow him to glide, which was not part of his original set of powers, but of [[ComicBook/SpiderWoman2014 Jessica Drew]] and [[ComicBook/SpiderMan2099 Miguel O'Hara]]. In comics, Spidey also received a special suit from Iron Man that had the potential to glide with wings (although that suit was made with Iron Man's colors and nicknamed the Iron Spider suit).

** The Iron Spider's color scheme greatly resembles the ComicBook/SuperiorSpiderMan suit.

** In ''Far From Home'', [[spoiler:he foolishly gives the EDITH glasses over to Beck after seeing him supposedly perform a HeroicSacrifice to take down an Elemental which would've destroyed the world. This is combined with lingering SurvivorGuilt over Tony's death and feeling overwhelmed at the prospect of shouldering the legacy of Iron Man. Turns out it's just Beck deftly manipulating him using his bleeding edge holographic technology in his bid to become a FakeUltimateHero and very nearly gets him and his friends killed. Even then it creates lasting consequences for him going into ''No Way Home'' as it leads to Beck posthumously framing him for his "murder" and exposing Spider-Man's secret identity as Peter Parker.]]

* OfficialCouple: By the end of ''Far From Home'', [[spoiler:he's with MJ. 'Till the events of ''No Way Home'', as MJ's memories of Peter are wiped alongside the universe's. He chooses not to reconnect with her for the time being despite still loving her.]]

* SelfImposedExile: Towards the end of "Spider-Man: No Way Home", Peter decides to isolate himself from everyone, including his friends, girlfriend, allies, and fellow superheroes, in order to keep them safe from the dangers of knowing him, believing that he did the right thing to {{unperson}} himself so he won't lose anyone else like he lost Tony and his Aunt May or ruin someone else's personal life like he nearly did with Ned and MJ. Despite this, he still continues helping the people of New York as Spider-Man in order to protect the innocent and atone for all the mistakes he has made.

* SuperheroOrigin: The whole thing about power, responsibility, and indirectly causing his uncle's death through inaction still happened, but it happened offscreen, though it is indirectly referenced multiple times. Between ''Captain America: Civil War'' and ''Avengers: Endgame'', Ben Parker is not even mentioned by name. The filmmakers behind the franchise explained that, with [[Film/SpiderManTrilogy two prior]] [[Film/TheAmazingSpiderManSeries film continuities]] showing the origin, showing it for the third time in ''Spider-Man: Homecoming'' would be redundant. [[spoiler:''No Way Home'' reveals that his trilogy is a unique adaptation of his origin for the MCU, as while Ben does exist and serve some role in him being Spider-Man, Peter doesn't truly learn the lesson "with great power there must also come great responsibility" until May's death. With people's memory of Peter Parker now erased, he loses the allies he had and his advanced tech, forcing him back into the WorkingClassHero he is in the comics and having Jameson doing everything he can to make the city hate him.]]

** In ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'', a severe beating from the Green Goblin that sent him through multiple walls and stories of a building, repeatedly, leaves him with broken ribs but he's still able to escape the scene and is healed in time for the final battle. Downplayed in that, as usual, he's not bulletproof and his resistance against piercing/cutting threats in general is shown to be much lesser; Norman cuts him with a knife.

* YoungestChildWins: ZigZagged in terms of [[spoiler:the three cinematic Spider-Men being analogues to brothers during ''No Way Home''. On one hand, Peter lives in a world where there are plenty of superheroes, has the most advanced suit(s) and equipment(s), and on a meta sense has the films that made more money and the most film appearances in general than the two. On the other, he ultimately ended up losing everything for the greater good-- on his friends' case, [[HeroicSacrifice willingly]]. The most obvious is losing his Aunt May, who was Peter's remaining family in most media adaptations. Case in point, the two other Peters were with their Aunt May during their respective film's GraveMarkingScene to give them emotional support (For Raimi-verse during Harry's, for Webb-verse during Gwen's). This Peter's GraveMarkingScene is for Aunt May herself.]]

** Scott Lang. Both of them are new heroes whose abilities and names are based off of arthropods. Both are the SixthRanger to their side, are extremely intelligent and quirky, and turn the tide of the airport battle repeatedly. The difference is Scott is WeakButSkilled while Peter is UnskilledButStrong. They're also at the opposite ends of the age range, with Peter being in high school while Scott is a parent. Also, while Peter looks up to Tony Stark and was told that Cap went rogue, Scott worships Captain America and was warned by Hank Pym not to trust Iron Man. In addition, Peter and Scott both have opposite outcomes after their involvement in ''Civil War''. Peter simply goes back to school and gets on with his life, whereas Scott is placed under house arrest for two years with Hank and Hope paying the price for his actions. After ''Endgame'', however, Scott makes his efforts to undo the Snap known. He has merchandise such as costumes, backpacks and a memoir based on his time with the Avengers. While Scott capitalises on his newfound fame, Peter has his own life ruined by infamy after Mysterio doctors some camera footage to accuse him of murder. Even though the allegation is dismissed, Peter becomes a polarising figure and several colleges turn him down based on this reason. Aunt May, MJ and Ned suffer too due to their association with him.

** He blames himself for the death of those who are closet to him, such as his Uncle Ben, Tony Stark, and his Aunt May. Not helped by Mysterio, J. Jonah Jameson, and Green Goblin also [[TheyDiedBecauseOfYou blaming him for two out of those three deaths]].
** Peter feels immense guilt for ruining the lives of his friends and aunt by proxy after his identity as Spider-Man got exposed by Mysterio. Ned and MJ being rejected from MIT alongside him motivates Peter to seek out Doctor Strange for a magical solution.

* JumpedAtTheCall: Since his SuperheroOrigin story happens off-screen in this version, six months have passed since Peter got his powers and he's introduced as an eager and enthusiastic young hero. His HeroWorship towards the Avengers from then on pretty much motivates him to be the best superhero he can be, although by ''Far From Home'', he has grown fairly weary of superheroics and is up for a break. As ''Homecoming'' director Jon Watts says in an interview, "Peter loves being Spider-Man. He doesn't like being Peter Parker."

** Towards the end of ''No Way Home'', Peter decided to continue being Spider-Man to not only protect the innocence of New York but also to atone for the mistakes he has made in the film and his other film appearances.

* DeathOfAChild: He was 16 years old when he died in ''Infinity War'' and his death is portrayed as the most devastating one out of everyone who got killed by the Snap at the end of the story.

* GuiltComplex: Peter doesn't blame anyone but himself for his mistakes and the tragedies in his lives, such as [[spoiler:the deaths of his uncle, Iron Man, and his aunt, and for ruining the lives of those he cares about. Peter's guilt is part of the reason why he decided to not make contact with those he once associated with after they have forgotten about him through Strange's second spell, as he not only wants to protect them but also believes himself to be too dangerous to be around.]]

** He develops a small one with Doctor Strange in ''No Way Home'' after the events of ''Infinity War'' and ''Endgame'', though it's complicated due to his part in messing up the spell that brought the Multiversal Villains to their universe.
** He formed a friendship with Norman Osborn while working together with him in making cures for the multiversal displace villains. Also, despite Green Goblin taking over his mind and everything he did to him while under his control, he still consider Norman a friend as he decided to cure him of his alter ego.
** He even befriended Otto Octavius after saving him from his tentacles control and when he joined up with him in his mission to cure the villains.

** In the comics, Spider-Man predated the Avengers and debuted as an independent KidHero (where young heroes were sidekicks at the time). Not only does MCU Spider-Man appear after the appearance of the avengers and was essentially a hero-in-training, [[spoiler:he became independent after having his Peter Parker identity {{Retgone}} in ''No Way Home''.]]

** He blames himself for the death of those who are closes to him, such as his Uncle Ben, Tony Stark and his Aunt May, not helped that Mysterio, J. Jonah Jameson and Green Goblin, who also blames him for two out of three of those who are closes to him deaths.
** He feels at fault for ruining the lives of his friends and Aunt, after his identity as Spider-Man got exposed by Mysterio.
** Although Doctor Strange was also to blame, he nevertheless took full responsibility for unintentionally opening the Multiverse.

* IWillFindYou: Just before he is erased from their memories, Peter promises MJ and Ned he will find them again, and make everything right between them. Although he kept his promises to find them again, Peter decided to not fulfill the rest of his word to MJ and Ned, as he fears putting them endanger and ruin their lives again, especially when he hears that they got into MIT, as he decided to avoid them in order to keep them safe.

* SelfImposedExile: Towards the end of "Spider-Man: No Way Home", he decided to isolate himself from everyone, including his friends, allies and fellow superheroes, in order to keep them safe of the dangers of knowing him, believing that he did the right thing to unperson himself so he won't lose anyone else like he lost Iron Man and his Aunt May or ruin someone else's personal life like he nearly did with his friends. Despite this, he still continues helping the people of New York as Spider-Man in order to protect the innocent and to atone for all the mistakes he has made.
* SensoryOverload: His Spider-Sense [[BlessedWithSuck is a bit of a problem in this version]]. While he does have a greater sense of awareness that allows him to have better reflexes, it comes at the cost of being overwhelmed with the awareness of ''everything'' around him during battle. His first costume incorporates welding goggles (which Tony is shocked he can even see out of since he himself couldn't) because they minimize visual stimuli to a level where he can focus. His new suit incorporates mechanical irises so that he can adjust how much he sees as needed.

** He's also as befitting an innocent kid, extremely trusting of everyone he meets. He went to Germany on Tony's request without question, taking his non-explanation at face value. He's also incredibly careless with his secret identity, revealing it to his closest friends and the entire superhero community. In ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'', both tendencies [[spoiler:get exploited by Mysterio who uses his tendency to trust heroes to fool him into handing over E.D.I.T.H. and his carelessness with his identity gets it revealed to the entire world.]]

* EasilyForgiven: Peter is quick to forgive people, especially his enemies. Although he might never forgive Green Goblin for his part in killing his Aunt May, Peter is willing to forgive Norman as he understands that he may have created the evil persona but his actions were not his fault and still considers him a friend.

* GuiltComplex: Peter has this troupe as he doesn't blame nobody but himself for things that have happened, such as the death of his uncle, Iron Man and his aunt, and for ruining the lives of those he cares about. Peter's guilt is part of the reason why he decided to not make contact with those he ever associated with after they have forgotten about him through Strange's second spell, as he not only wants to protect them but also believes himself to be dangerous to be around.

* InTheEndYouAreOnYourOwn: [[spoiler:After Peter has Strange erase everybody's memories of him, he ends up the most alone anybody in the MCU has ever been. He still decides to fight on as Spider-Man thanks to [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatResponsibility the lessons Aunt May and his multiverse counterparts]] left him with, fighting crime independently while flat broke in a professional suit of his own making just like his comic book incarnations.]]

** [[spoiler:He also befriends his older AlternateUniverse counterparts, Peter-2 and Peter-3.]]

** Although Doctor Strange was also to blame, he nevertheless took full blame for unintentionally opening the Multiverse.

* IWillFindYou: [[spoiler:Just before he is erased from their memories, Peter promises MJ and Ned he will find them again, and make everything right between them.]]

** [[spoiler:After having Doctor Strange wipe all knowledge of Peter Parker from the MCU to send all of the multiversal villains back to their home universes, Peter is forced to make his own suit from scratch again since he now has no support and none of the resources that Tony Stark left him. While it is the most comics-accurate spider-suit on screen to date, it is a simple blue-and-red spandex jumpsuit without any of the additional bells and whistles of his other suits like the Iron Spider or his previous cloth suits with an integrated computer system in them. This one doesn't even seem to have the iris-lenses, something he was able to kluge together out of welder's goggles for his BetaOutfit.]]

** He did this again in ''No Way Home'' in the middle of a fight with the supervillains to explain who the Avengers are to [[spoiler: the other Peters, until Raimi-Verse Peter interrupts him shouting "how is this helping?"]].

* TheGlovesComeOff: Upon returning to Earth in ''Endgame'' as part of TheCavalry in the FinalBattle, he immediately does away with subtlety against the Outriders by activating his suit's "Instant Kill" mode. [[spoiler: Also, in Peter and Green Goblin's rematch in ''No Way Home'', he was hitting Gobby with intent to end his life, getting very close to impaling him with his glider before being stopped by Peter-2.]]

* OfficialCouple: By the end of ''Far From Home'', [[spoiler:he's with MJ.]] [[spoiler: 'Till the events of ''No Way Home'', as MJ's memories of Peter are wiped alongside the universe's. He chooses not to reconnect with her for the time being despite still loving her.]]

* RageBreakingPoint: [[spoiler: After the Goblin murdered his Aunt May, Peter gave up on saving the villains and wanted Norman in particular dead. Raimi-Peter manages to talk him down from the brink, but later on in the final battle, the Goblin deliberately interferes with his attempt to save MJ from a fatal drop, and if it hadn't been for Webb-Peter, she would have died.]] At this point, all bets are off, and Peter does his absolute damndest to [[spoiler: [[CurbStompBattle mercilessly bloody and beat the Goblin within an inch of his life]], before trying to execute him with his own glider.]]

** By ''No Way Home'', his fighting ability noticeably improves as he's forced into more battles against superpowered opponents from across the multiverse who are much more physical and hands-on than the previous villain Mysterio and [[spoiler: towards the end, he fights and beats down the Green Goblin, a physically formidable foe who was able to give the Spider-Man of his own universe a run for his money]].

** [[spoiler: Inverted and PlayedForLaughs in ''Spider-Man: No Way Home'', where Peter and MJ are in his room and she is helping him take off his suit in a panic after his identity was just exposed. Aunt May walks in on MJ undressing Peter and thinks they are having sex. Peter then tries explaining to his aunt this isn't true, but she doesn't believe him.]]

* TheAtoner: It's heavily implied that Uncle Ben died because of Peter's negligence, spurring him to fight crime as Spider-Man.

* ItsPersonal: [[spoiler:With Green Goblin, who murders Aunt May. He even tries to kill Goblin with the latter's own glider's blades, knowing full well the relatively innocent Norman personality is still inside him, which would have made Peter the murderer he's accused of being throughout ''No Way Home'' had Peter-2 not stopped him. Peter has ''NEVER'' gone this far with any villain before, and stands in stark contrast to his rescue of Vulture at the end of ''Homecoming'' to show how much Goblin [[ArchEnemy hurt him]].]]
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: [[spoiler:While in the new reality where he has been erased from everyone's memory, Peter cannot find the right words to remind MJ of who he is and what they were to each other before Strange's spell. He still can't help but give off a smile when learning that she and Ned have both been accepted into MIT, and she seems to be a much more optimistic person than she was before. In the end, Peter decides that for the time being, MJ is better off not knowing who he is, as it will keep her safe.]]

* CheapCostume

* MotorMouth: Much like his mentor Tony Stark, he ''does not shut up.''

* RudeHeroNiceSidekick: Plays the Nice Sidekick to Tony Stark's Rude Hero. Peter's a lot more easygoing and cordial while Tony's incredibly snarky and irritable.
