He was molested as a child by a guy who looked disturbingly like Uncle Ben, but whose name was "Skip". It actually got confirmed in canon somewhere, in an off-hand way.
He had poison stingers that came out of his wrists too, but no writer ever used them. I would have loved to see Peter in a snikt-off with Wolverine. Off course, trying to explain it to people would be another matter. "So then I turned into a giant spider, died, and gave birth to myself..."
I think the excuse was they were only active when Spidey was in close proximity to someone with similar abilities (although that contradicted him using it a couple of times).
Funny how there never has been any explanation for how he lost the post-Other powers considering how BND went out of their way to explain all of the other continuity changes like Harry being alive.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.

Peter: you don't understand. he said he had spider-powers like me!
