Spider-Man (MMU film)

Spider-Man is a 2018 fan-film created by Max Carroll. The first entry into the Marvel Cineplastic Universe, the film revolves around 15-year old high schooler Peter Parker, an orphaned high schooler who pines after popular girl-next-door Mary Jane Watson. While on a science class field trip, Peter is bitten by an irradiated spider. As a result, Peter gains superhuman abilities, including increased strength, speed, and the abilities to scale walls and generate organic webbing. After his beloved Uncle Ben is murdered, the teenager realizes that he must use his newfound abilities to protect New York City. Meanwhile, wealthy fashionist Roderick Kingsley, a friend of the father of Peter's best friend Harry Osborn, steals and subjects himself to a sample of an experimental performance-enhancing serum, which creates a psychotic and murderous split personality. Donning a ghoulish costume, equipped with military-grade prototype weapons, Roderick becomes a freakish "Hobgoblin", who begins to terrorize the city. Peter, as Spider-Man, now must do battle with the Goblin, all while trying to express his true feelings for Mary Jane.

Plot
High-school senior Peter Parker lives with his Aunt May and Uncle Ben and is a school outcast. On a school field trip, he visits a genetics laboratory with his friend Harry Osborn and love interest, Mary Jane Watson. There, Peter is bitten by a genetically engineered "super spider". Shortly after arriving home, he becomes unconscious. Meanwhile, fashion business manager Roderick Kingsley, a friend of Harry's father, Norman, is about to have his company, Kingsley's Clothworks, go under due to lack of profit. Desperate to keep his company alive, Roderick steals a sample of an experimental performance-enhancing formula that Norman's company, Oscorp, is testing in order to create super-soldiers for the military. Vowing to kill the man responsible for the demise of his company, Simms Roven, the already-mentally unstable Roderick takes the formula and goes insane, killing a fellow staff member when she tries to calm him down.

The next morning, Peter finds that he is no longer near-sighted and his body has metamorphosized into a more muscular physique. At school, he finds that his body can produce webs and his quickened reflexes let him avoid injury during a confrontation with Flash Thompson. Peter discovers he has developed superhuman speed, strength, the ability to stick to surfaces, and a heightened ability to sense danger. Brushing off Uncle Ben's advice that "With great power comes great responsibility," Peter thinks of impressing Mary Jane with a car. He enters an underground fighting tournament and wins his first match, but the promoter cheats him out of his money. When a thief suddenly raids the promoter's office, Peter allows him to escape. Moments later, he discovers that Uncle Ben was carjacked and killed. Peter pursues and confronts the carjacker, only to realize it was the thief he let escape. After Peter disarms him, the carjacker flees, but dies in the process. Meanwhile, a crazed Roderick interrupts a meeting of his Roven's company's rival and kills all who attended, including Roven.

Upon graduating, Peter begins using his abilities to fight injustice, donning a costume and the persona of Spider-Man. J. Jonah Jameson, a newspaper company headmaster, hires Peter as a freelance photographer, since he is the only person providing clear images of Spider-Man.

Roderic, upon hearing that Kingsley's Clothworks' board members plan to sell the company, assassinates them at the World Unity Fair. Jameson quickly dubs the mysterious killer the Hobgoblin. The Hobgoblin offers Spider-Man a place at his side, but Spider-Man refuses. They fight and Spider-Man is wounded. At Thanksgiving dinner, Aunt May invites Mary Jane, Harry, Norman, and a Norman-invited Kingsley. During the dinner, Kingsley sees the wound and realizes Spider-Man's identity. Shortly after he leaves, the Hobgoblin attacks and hospitalizes Aunt May.

Mary Jane admits she has a crush on Spider-Man, who has rescued her on numerous occasions, and asks Peter whether Spider-Man ever asked about her. Harry, who loves Mary Jane, arrives and learns she has feelings for Peter. Devastated, Harry tells Roderick, who was watching over the Osborn estate in place of Norman, that Peter loves Mary Jane, unintentionally revealing Spider-Man's biggest weakness.

The Hobgoblin holds Mary Jane and a Roosevelt Island Tram car full of children hostage alongside the Queensboro Bridge. He forces Spider-Man to choose whom he wants to save, and drops Mary Jane and the children. Spider-Man manages to save both Mary Jane and the tram car, while the Hobgoblin is pelted by civilians who side with Spider-Man. The Hobgoblin then grabs Spider-Man and throws him into an abandoned building where they battle. When the Goblin boasts about how he will later kill Mary Jane, an enraged Spider-Man overpowers the Hobgoblin.

Roderick reveals himself to Spider-Man, who stops attacking. He begs for forgiveness, but at the same time controls his glider to impale his foe. Sensing the attack, Spider-Man dodges, and webs the glider befre it can impale Roderick. Now pushed over the edge, the Hobgoblin persona takes complete control of Roderick and he tries to kill Spider-Man with his bare hands, but the web-spinner just knocks the Hobgoblin unconscious. Spider-Man takes an amnesiac Roderick to a mental institution, where he forgets that Peter is Spider-Man. Spider-Man escapes and hides the Hobgoblin's equipment.

At Roderick’s sentencing, Harry declares his hatred toward Peter, whom he feels stole Mary Jane from him, and asserts that Norman is all the family he has left. Mary Jane confesses to Peter that she is in love with him. Peter, however, feels that he must protect her from the unwanted attentions of Spider-Man's enemies. He hides his true feelings and tells Mary Jane that they can only be friends. As Peter leaves the courthouse, he recalls Ben's words, and accepts his new responsibility as Spider-Man.
