Parker: A Tangled Web (Pilot)

A Tangled Web, aka Pilot, is the first episode of the first season of the television series Marvel's Spider-Man: Parker. The first episode recounts the origin of the Peter Parker of Earth-2002.

Summary
The episode begins with a 14 year-old Peter Parker sleeping alone in a dark rainy forest. A strange noise awakes him, and he is attacked by a dark creature that is not shown.

The episode flashes back 48 hours, and is narrated by an older Peter recounting "how it all began." Peter attends Midtown High School, and has just began his freshman year. Similar to most Spidey stories, this Peter is relentlessly bullied, mainly by the giant Flash Thompson. However, Peter finds solace under the wing of Mr. Morbius, who has taken in a select group of tech-savvy students to maintain the school's computers and defend them from viruses. The other members of the group are spoiled rich kid Harry Osborn, Eddie Brock, and Peter's friends: Alex O’Hirn (the future Rhino), Mary Jane Watson, and Gwen Stacy. Peter and Harry are not yet friends in this episode.

Peter is in the process of creating his own military-style drone, which he has nicknamed "Tesla". However, he realizes that he requires a highly-illegal superconductor magnet in order to continue his work. In order to retrieve the item, Peter hitches a ride with a truck driver out to an abandoned Oscorp Facility outside the city. In the facility, Peter discovers an arsenal of abandoned projects, such as mechanical tentacles and high-tech gliders. In the facility, Peter is bitten by a mysterious glowing spider. Feeling sick, Peter takes the magnet and returns home.

On the bus ride home, begins to notice his powers emerging. Items stick to his hand, and he begins to develop a sixth sense. (This scene is a slight homage to the train scene in The Amazing Spider-Man). At
