1. Becoming Spider-Man to Earn Money

After being bitten by a radioactive spider, many people already know that Peter Parker gained extraordinary powers similar to spiders, and after that, he became a superhero named Spider-Man. Many may not know that Peter became Spider-Man because he wanted to make a lot of money and that was more important than being a "Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man".

2. Has a Relationship with a Lot of Women

Peter Parker used to be geeky, but after gaining strength and becoming Spider-Man, his physical condition became better and tougher, making Peter a more attractive man. Apart from Mary Jane, Peter has also been in a relationship with Gwen Stacy, Liz Allen, to the Daily Bugle secretary named Betty Brant.

3. Decided to Retire as Spider-Man

Who would have thought that Peter Parker once decided to retire as Spider-Man? This happens in an alternative story set 30 years in the future.

4. The Cancer in Mary Jane Came From Peter

Peter Parker aka Spider-Man has the power of a radioactive spider, but who would have thought that the radioactive power flowed into Peter's body, to the point it mixed with Peter's blood and sperm? With radioactive sperm, Mary Jane, who was then Peter's wife, caught cancer in her body, and cancer eventually took Mary Jane's life.

5. Morlun Once Ate Peter Parker's Eyeball

Peter Parker often fights strong enemies as a Spider-Man, and he has also had a lot of experience. There is one time that his fight didn't kill him but was so painful to remember, and that time when he fought Morlun. When Morlun and Spider-Man fight, the fight was dominated by Morlun which resulted in Peter's eyeball being gouged out and eaten by Morlun at the same time.

6. Peter Parker is not the Only Spider-Man

This fact is already known by many, especially if you have watched the Spider-Man Into The Spider-Verse.

7. Once Served as Miles Morales' Mentor

After being bitten by a spider that was quite similar to Peter Parker, Miles Morales gained powers quite similar to Peter Parker's Spider-Man. Knowing Miles has the same power, Peter decided to teach Miles and guide his path into the new Spider-Man. In some stories, Miles Morales becomes Spider-Man because he's mentored by Peter Parker himself.

8. Once Turned Into a Lizard

How can Peter Parker turn into a Lizard? Now, we have the answer to it. Peter became a Lizard because of his own serum. Peter once made a serum in order to be strong like Gwen or Spider-Gwen out of jealousy.

10. Peter Parker's House is Dominated by Jewish

Apart from being known as a Jew because Stan Lee created him based on his past as Stanley Leiber, there is another possibility that Peter is a Jew judging by the settlement he lives in.

11. Has a Daughter Named Mayday Parker

In the comics, Peter Parker has a daughter, and this is told in the Marvel Comics 2 universe, where there is an alternate reality on Earth-982, where Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson have one daughter named Mayday Parker or commonly known as May. Interestingly, Peter's daughter in the What If ..? comic series was one of the Spider-Girls in 1998.
