In the Marvel Comics universe, Spider-Man lives on Earth-50101. His secret identity is Pavitr Prabhakar, a shy high school student, who lives with his Aunt Maya and Uncle Bhim in Mumbai. He has many supporting characters in the books such as Meera Jain, Flash Thompson, Nalin Oberoi, and Doctor Octopus. He came to Mumbai from a small village. Although he and his uncle struggled with financial difficulties, his uncle wanted Pavitr to receive a high-quality education at the Heritage International School, one of the top schools in Mumbai.[citation needed]
Pavitr was often bullied and mocked in school due to coming from a small village and wearing a dhoti. A Yogi gives Pavitr the magical powers of a spider, which he uses to fight against Nalin Oberoi, an evil businessman who is searching for a powerful, magical amulet. In his search, Oberoi destroys Pavitr's village, killing everyone. As Spider-Man, Pavitr defeats Oberoi and hands him over to the police.[5]
