Marvel Must Haves: Ultimate Spider-Man #1–3 #[nn]

In this reimagined take on Spider-Man’s origin, Peter Parker’s life changes forever when he’s bitten by a genetically-enhanced spider tied to a secret project at Osborn Industries. With his uncle Ben, his Aunt May, and Mary Jane watching closely, Peter must navigate newfound powers and the weight of responsibility—while uncovering the truth behind the experiment that changed him.

In "Growing Pains," Peter Parker grapples with the sudden, unexplained onset of his powers as he tests their limits—until a visit to Osborn Industries with Harry Osborn takes a startling turn when a scientist draws blood from Peter’s arm, leaving him uneasy and questioning what’s really happening. With Aunt May, Uncle Ben, and Mary Jane watching from the sidelines, Peter finds himself caught between his normal life and something far more complicated.

In "Wannabe," Peter Parker steps into a makeshift Spider-Man suit to face Crusher Hogan in a high-stakes showdown, testing his limits before he’s truly ready. As the mask settles and the webbing pattern begins to take shape, Peter’s confidence wavers—especially with Aunt May and Uncle Ben watching, and Mary Jane and Flash Thompson cheering from the sidelines. Meanwhile, Norman Osborn watches from the shadows, already plotting to repeat the experiment that changed Peter’s life—this time, with himself as the subject.
