"Power and Responsibility" is the first story arc of ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan'', and the first comic book set in the ComicBook/UltimateMarvel universe.
A group of high school students visit the labs of Oscorp. A genetically modified spider, used by Oscorp to test their Oz serum, escapes from its containtment and bites Peter Parker, a timid and nerd student. After some health problems he gets better, and realizes that he got super powers. His legal guardians, Ben and May, are having financial problems, so he joins a wrestling arena and seds them the money he got in the prizes. The manager created the "Spider-Man" persona for him. And one day, a thief that Peter did not stop killed Uncle Ben and... blah blah powers, blah blah responsibility, etc; you know that part.
Oscorp kept an eye on Parker and his condition. Initially, fearing that he would die, Osbourne sent a hitman to kill him, so that the family would not sue him. Afterwards, they realized that his condition go stable and that he got super powers, so Osbourne tried to repeat the incident and give himself powers. He became a mutated monster, killed his wife, and tried to destroy the school. To kill Peter, or his son Harry, or both, that remained unclear.

** Flash picked a fight with Parker, who tries to elude him as best as he can. He finally lands a punch, and Peter tries to stop it. But, with his increased strength, he broke Flash's arm. We can see him in tears, whispering "I told him... I said... I didn't want to fight". Harry was not at school, so Kong explained what happened. According to him, it was awesome! And Peter shouted "Next time, I'm gonna kill you! It's payback time!"!
* GymClassHell: It's Peter Parker in a gym class, so that one is a given.
* MoodWhiplash: Oh, no! Peter is sad about his unrequited love for Mary Jane! Drop a pie to his face, quick!
