When a passing car nearly ran him down, he discovered the ability to jump huge distances and cling to walls, not to mention his danger detecting "spider-sense" and super strength.

Nothing would ever be the same. From then on the streets of New York City fell under the protection of the amazing Spider-Man. Features fabric costume.
