Earth-616 represents the main Marvel Universe continuity where Peter Parker is the original and primary Spider-Man. This universe has been the central timeline for Marvel Comics since the 1960s, featuring the most comprehensive and interconnected storytelling in the Marvel multiverse.
Peter Parker was an ordinary high school student living with his Aunt May and Uncle Ben in Queens, New York. A brilliant but socially awkward teenager, Peter's life changed forever during a science exhibition when he was bitten by a radioactive spider.
Initially using his newfound powers for personal gain and fame, Peter's world was shattered when his Uncle Ben was murdered by a criminal Peter had previously allowed to escape. This tragedy taught him the invaluable lesson that would define his life: "With great power comes great responsibility."
Since that fateful day, Peter Parker has dedicated his life to protecting New York City and the world as Spider-Man. Despite facing countless challenges, losing loved ones, and struggling to balance his personal life with his responsibilities as a hero, Peter has remained one of Earth's greatest champions.
