History[]
Spider-Man 2[]
Peter Parker applied for a job as a pizza delivery man, due to struggling to maintain his financial debts from working at the Daily Bugle. However, since he was also the masked superhero, Spider-Man, his crime-fighting activities always made him late for Joe's Pizza, to the annoyance of its owner, Mr. Aziz.
One day, Peter arrived late and was told by Mr. Aziz that twenty minutes ago, an order for eight extra large deep dish pizzas are to be delivered at precisely 2pm. Since Peter was late, he only had eight minutes to get in time and was given a last chance by Mr. Aziz or else he would be fired. Due to the heavy, busy traffic, Peter decided to change into his Spider-Man suit to make it to the pizzas' destination in time and a passerby believed that Spider-Man was stealing Peter's pizza, not knowing they were the same person.
Spider-Man stopped to save two children from being run over by a passing truck when they were running from the park, trying to get their ball back as it rolled into the road. After Spider-Man gave the kids a warning not to play in the streets, he returned to deliver the pizzas, grabbing them from a nearby rooftop and making it to the destination, while also webbing one of the pizzas from a man from the rooftop right as the man is about to take a bite out of a slice that he pulled out from the box.
After changing back into his civilian clothing and awkwardly putting janitor equipment back into a closet where he came out from, Peter delivered the pizzas, only to find out he was three minutes late. The woman replied she was not paying for the pizzas as he missed the time. Peter, knowing he cannot argue with her, obliged, then took the rope hooks off the pizzas and went back to Joe's Pizza. Mr. Aziz, upset with Peter for being late, fired him, even peeling off the sticker on his helmet, enforcing the fact. Peter, with no choice, had to accept being fired and go back to his normal job at the Daily Bugle.
