Spider-Man, also known by his real name, Peter Benjamin Parker, is the titular main protagonist of the 2008 action-adventure superhero video game Spider-Man: Web of Shadows.
He was voiced by Mike Vaughn, who also voiced the Lakewood Slasher in MTV series Scream.
Biography[]
Peter's story kicks off when a skirmish with the hulking brute Venom who has become one with Spider-Man's old symbiote suit implants a new one into him, Peter Parker not able to fully reject it but able to swap between his regular costume and the black one at will. At first this fight with Venom seems to be an odd one-off situation, Spider-Man going about his regular duties trying to help the citizens of New York City and using either his webshooters and super strength to do so or embracing this suit’s ability for more powerful strikes and tendril-like limbs. The symbiote in him begins to draw out violent impulses, but as criminal activity seems to rise, Spider-Man begins to fear he needs that power boost to be able to handle the growing danger, only to learn soon that symbiotes are attaching themselves to people all around the city and beginning a push to take over the whole of Manhattan.
During the efforts to push back against the Symbiote invasion, Spider-Man will sometimes find his morality tested, the player in charge of whether or not he goes for the option more in line with his usual heroic side or embracing the tougher and often more selfish form of justice that the black suit urges Peter towards. At times this decision can be a true moral question, one of the earliest being when Spider-Man is working with street level hero Luke Cage to try and end a gang war and the player needs to decide between attempting a peace talk or putting both groups down with force. Sometimes Spider-Man will be able to choose whether to collaborate with a villain he just defeated or send them off to be locked up, the game actually featuring a system where the moral alignment of Spider-Man will influence the characters he can call in for back-up even during story missions. A Spider-Man on the side of good will be able to call in both recognizable and lesser known Marvel Comics heroes, Wolverine and Moon Knight not willing to help Peter Parker if he starts straying into more violent methods.

In two of the four endings, if Spider-Man turns good and continue being a hero for New York, then it branches in two variants depending on the last choices.
- Hero Ending - Peter doesn't forget about his role as a hero and never falls into temptations of the Symbiote. He then decides to use the Tinkerer's device to remove his and the rest of New York's symbiotes. In the end, Mary Jane arrives on the roof and finds Peter narrating. She asks if he will still give her a ride, which he agrees to as long as she promises to forget she found him narrating.
- Anti-Hero Ending - Peter decides to indulge in some bad actions, but overall keeps his ideals. Then he decides to use the Tinkerer's device to remove his and the rest of New York's symbiotes. In the end, he saves the city, but Mary Jane refuses to return his calls due to the morally questionable choices he made, but he hopes that she will forgive him.
