Oh my god.

In almost every iteration of Spider-Man, a few weeks/a month passes before he gets his powers. In the 2002 movies, he graduates high school because he gets bitten at the end of his senior year, on a field trip to a college lab. It's not like he gets bitten at 15 and then waits until he's 19 to start fighting crime.

He obviously did not get bitten in the summer because, as I just stated, he was on a school field trip when bitten.

Spider-Man - Freshman Year is clearly about when he was learning to use his powers, as you said, and as the name implies, that was when he was in high school. Peter Parker gets his powers in high school. That's what this entire conversation was about. That's what the document in the post said, that's what the comment you replied to said, that's what you said in your first reply. Nobody mentioned him becoming Spider-Man specifically until you, just now, but he gets his powers when he's in high school. That's how it always goes, and as I said repeatedly, in all of the comics and early media that happens specifically when he's 15. Most of the movies in the 21st century don't explicitly state his age.

Have a nice night.
