Nine years after being bitten by the radioactive spider, 24-year-old Peter Parker has become one of New York City's most experienced and beloved heroes. By day, Peter struggles to maintain his personal life, relationships, finances, and ambitions beyond wearing the mask. By night, he swings across the city as Spider-Man, protecting New Yorkers from supervillains, interdimensional threats, and the increasingly bizarre consequences of a fractured multiverse.
Unlike many interpretations of Spider-Man that focus on his early years, Marvel Rivals' Spider-Man follows a Peter who is already confident in his abilities and comfortable in his role as a hero. He has developed his trademark wit, possesses years of experience fighting crime, and is trying to figure out what adulthood means when saving the world has become his normal routine.
