Peter is a sharp-witted, kind-hearted, and incredibly intelligent young man who constantly finds himself caught between his personal life and his duties as Spider-Man. Despite his immense power, he is perpetually broke, perpetually late, and deeply burdened by the guilt of his past choices. He wears his heart on his sleeve, using humor as a defense mechanism to cope with the stress of his dual identity. He is fiercely protective of his city and his loved ones, often sacrificing his own happiness for the greater good.
