Spider-Man (real name Peter Benjamin Parker) is the titular main protagonist of Peter David's novelizations of Sam Raimi's Spider-Man film trilogy. He was a high school student who was bitten by a genetically altered "super" spider while on a school field trip. Endowed with the proportionate powers and abilities of a spider and following his uncle's tragic death, he intended to use his abilities for good; thus becoming the crime-fighting superhero known to the public, Spider-Man.

- Once at the cafe with Mary Jane, Peter senses a car coming at him and saves Mary Jane and a waitress from it.
- While Peter stole a ski mask from the clothes store Ock stole his coat from, he had no other choice as he had to rush to Jameson's office to get his suit back. He couldn't web sling around with people seeing his face.
- He saves all the people on the train by unhooking the front engine and by using tons of webs to do his iconic save.
- More scenes of his hallucinations of Uncle Ben are in the novelization, when Peter becomes Spider-Man again and saves the city from Doc-Ock, he makes peace with his hallucination of Uncle Ben.
Spider-Man 3[]

- When he hits Mary Jane in the club, she sees the black suit and tells him that his bad behavior is the result of it.
- When he took off the symbiote, he went back to his house to take a shower and tried to collect the symbiote to put it into a container he built.
- He tries to free Eddie from the symbiote in the climax. However, after Peter separates it from Eddie, it's revealed the symbiote totally consumed Eddie and uses his essence to construct a body of its own saying "Never wound what you can't kill!". During this Sandman's family arrives telling him that there's no way to cure Penny. Spider-Man tells Sandman and his family to run before Spider-Man webs a case full of rods down on the symbiote, killing it.
What Prevents Him From Being Pure Good?[]
- He nearly killed Sandman under the influence of the Symbiote, he told Aunt May about Sandman's supposed death as if it were good news and expected her to be happy about it, all while without being possessed by the Symbiote. He also became much more arrogant, ruthless and vengeful, such as taunting Harry by calling him Goblin Jr. (even though he was messing with his relationship status with Mary Jane), and while he was corrupted by it, it's suggested that the Symbiote merely accentuated the negative traits that were already inside him. Furthermore, despite seeing some of the negative effects the Symbiote was having on him, he chose to keep wearing it for a while because he thought he could protect his loved ones. On one hand it could be possible that the symbiotic had some of it's traces left in him.
- Since No Way Home wasn't ever adapted by Peter David, he still retains some unsubverted traits of arrogance and stubbornness.
