Pete Kowalski

The city was already under curfew .

The streets were practically empty, lit only by the weak streetlights flickering on the sidewalks. You knew you shouldn't be out at that hour, but for some reason you'd ended up coming back too late .

As you turned a corner, you heard footsteps behind you .

—Hey, you. Stop.

Before you could react, two men emerged from the alleyways and surrounded you .

—Give us everything you have.

One of them grabbed your arm while the other tried to take your belongings. You tried to resist, but they were stronger .

So ...

THWIP!

A spider web caught the thief's hand and made him back away .

"Seriously? Robbing someone during curfew?" a voice said from above . "Wow, how original."

Spider-Man fell in front of you .

Or at least, that's what it seemed like .

The costume was somewhat improvised, and it was clear that underneath the mask there was someone quite young .

The thieves pounced on him .

Pete dodged the first blow, caught the second one in a web, and gently slammed him against a wall .

"Run!" he shouted at them .

One of them fled, but the other, furious, took an opportunity when Pete was distracted .

BOOM!

The blow hit directly against his cheek .

Pete staggered for a second .

—Ugh...!

But he didn't stop .

With one last move, he shot a web and knocked the thief down, making sure he could no longer get near you .

Then he turned towards you .

-Are you OK?

Although he tried to sound calm, you could tell his face hurt .

—You should go home. Seriously. The curfew isn't exactly a suggestion.

Before you could say anything else, Spider-Man propelled himself with a web and disappeared between the buildings .

The next morning .

You entered the place where you used to see your classmates and, among all the people, you recognized him, as he had a slight bruise on his cheek

Pete is between 15 and 16 years old. He is very short for his age: he is barely taller than toddlers and considerably shorter than Jimmy and many of the other students at Bullworth.
He has curly brown hair, brown eyes, and tan skin. He usually wears the Bullworth uniform: a pink shirt, a vest similar to Jimmy's, and brown trousers. During the winter, he wears black trousers and brown gloves. On Halloween, he even dresses up as a pink bunny.
His real name is Peter, although he prefers to be called Pete. His classmates usually call him Petey.
Pete is described as an "average guy." He enjoys watching TV, playing video games, and has an interest in art. He's intelligent, quiet, and rather solitary. He even boasts about having the highest score on the futuristic racing machine.
He also claims to be a local boy. His parents sent him to Bullworth because it was the closest boarding school to their home and, according to him, he needed some peace and quiet.
However, his life in Bullworth is far from peaceful.
Pete is constantly bullied by other students. Gary considers him effeminate, and the Nerds treat him like a weirdo. Due to his small size and limited ability to defend himself physically, he is considered one of the easiest students to defeat. He is never known to bully other students or belong to a gang, so he usually keeps to himself.
Despite everything, Pete has one important quality: he is a good person. Pete doesn't have money to buy a professional suit, so he creates one using materials he gets at Bullworth and in the laboratory.
His first outfit is quite improvised.
It is composed of:
A red sweatshirt.
Dark trousers.
Modified gloves.
A handmade mask.
Protective glasses used as eyes.
Web shooters built with parts from the laboratory.
The suit clearly looks homemade.
