He, of course, is was a photojournalist for the New York Daily Bugle.

Believe it or not, Parker is fired for manipulating a photo. But for only good reasons, of course. A true hero like Spider-Man could never do something evil.

Visual ethics might have been a powerful and interesting comic book plot line … had it not already been used in the movie Spider-Man 3.
