In addition, it makes him change his personality to someone darker, cheeky and aggressive.
The Amazing Spider-Man (2012)

In this case, Andrew Garfield played Peter Parker, but here he was an adolescent, younger person. His parents also passed away years ago and Peter tries to figure out who he is until he finds a thread to pull.
