The Script

I have changed the way the narrative comes across slightly. I first wanted to use something similar to this:

"Who am I? Are you sure you wanna know?

The story of my life is not for the faint of heart. If somebody said that it was a happy little tale - if somebody said I was just your average ordinary guy not a care in the world, somebody lied.

But let me assure you, this, just like all stories worth telling, is all about a girl."

This was used at the beginning of the first Spider-man film. It does get the audience's attention, but I thought it might be better to go from a different angle. I've decided to tell the story from the point of view of a scientist/researcher, who has been studying Spider-man and is going through his profile. Here's the script I've written:

“Case #5

Real Name:
Peter Benjamin Parker

Born in Forest Hills, New York.

Aliases
Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man, the Amazing Spider-Man, the Sensational Spider-Man, the Spectacular Spider-Man – I think we can see a pattern emerging here... Also known as Spidey, Webhead, Webslinger, Wall-crawler, etc.

Identity
Secret – as far as he is concerned

Graduated from Midtown High School with an uncanny affinity for science that was nothing short of genius. He graduated college with a biophysics major and is currently attempting a doctorate in biochemistry, which hasn't been completed due to constant interruptions caused by his chaotic life-style.

Parents are deceased – killed in a plane crash while on an overseas mission for the government. Parker was raised by his aunt and uncle – May and Benjamin Parker. His uncle was shot by an armed robber.

Currently working for the Daily Bugle as a freelance photographer.

Parker got his powers when attending a public science exhibit when he was 15-years old. He was bitten on the hand by a radioactive spider, which had accidentally been irradiated by a particle beam, empowering Peter with the arachnid's proportional strength and agility, and the ability to cling to almost any surface. Most incredibly, he had gained a sixth sense that provided him with early warning of impending danger. Using his scientific prowess, he constructed a pair of artificial web-shooters that attached to his wrists. The combination of his acrobatic leaps and web-slinging enables him to travel rapidly from place to place.

Parker designed and constructed several devices that he traditionally carries as part of his full costume. This includes twin artificial web-shooters worn at the wrists, spare web cartridges attached to his belt, spider-tracer devices attuned to his spider-sense, the spider-signal light, and a compact camera. He has reconstructed his web shooters out of a high density plastic to avoid metal detectors, and has added modifications to detect low web-fluid levels, and propel spider-tracers.

Has had known affiliations with our other case studies such as: Wolverine, The Fantastic Four, Daredevil, and Hulk

Villains fought:

Chameleon, Vulture, Rhino, Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, Sandman, Hobgoblin, Venom, Carnage, Lizard, Scorpion, Kingpin, Mysterio, Shocker, Electro, Kraven the Hunter, Hydro-man, Jackal, Man-wolf, Morbius etc.

The 'hero' is currently leading a 'normal' life, living with his girlfriend Mary Jane Watson and again trying to complete his doctorate."

This may not be the final draft I use, but I'm going to use this to start some storyboarding.
