Character and series names are trademarks of their owners. Unofficial fan information, not affiliated or endorsed. No images used. Marvel's comics use a sliding timescale, so no real-world years are used. Peter is a 15-year-old high school student when bitten (Amazing Fantasy #15, 1962). Later ages are approximate, taken from the school stages the comics show: high school graduation (Amazing Spider-Man #28), Empire State University, college graduation (#185), marriage (Annual #21) and his teaching years; Wikipedia places the current Peter in his late 20s.
