Explained simply
Spider-Man is the superhero identity of Peter Parker, a young New Yorker who gained spider-like abilities and uses them to fight crime. His stories began in Marvel comics in the early 1960s and have since expanded into films, television and a large network of connected characters.
In the recent films, Peter has faced increasingly public and dangerous threats alongside other heroes. At the end of Spider-Man: No Way Home, a spell causes everyone to forget his identity, leaving him without the personal ties and public support he had built.
Marvel stories often include Easter eggs: brief references to older comics, films or characters that may add context for longtime fans. Criminal figures such as Tombstone, Scorpion and the Manfredi family come from Spider-Man’s wider comic-book world, where organised crime is a recurring part of the threats facing him in New York.
