Biography[]
Little is known about the life of Richard Parker. He and his wife Mary had a son named Peter.
Richard and Mary worked as spies for the United States Government, possibly for S.H.I.E.L.D. since Nick Fury appeared to know them.
At some point the two were sent to a mission to Russia and were killed in a plane crash. Peter was sent to live with Richard's older brother Ben and his wife May. They were considered traitors to the United States of America, though this was kept from Peter.
Peter eventually grew up and became the superhero Spider-Man.
When Peter was in college, his girlfriend, Mary Jane Watson, was brainwashed by Baron Mordo. Peter snuck into Mordo's cult to rescue her. Mordo made him think that Richard and Mary were alive in order to brainwash him. Luckily, Doctor Strange helped him.
The Chameleon was aware of Richard and Mary's history and told Kingpin and his son Richard Fisk. They used that to frame Peter for treason then staged his escape. Together with Daredevil, Peter was able to clear his name.
Later, when Peter unknowingly married Mary Jane's clone he overheard Fury stating that his parents were traitors. He traveled to Russia to clear their name. With the help of Keen Marlow, Peter succeeded.
