Though Miles Morales has readily been accepted by the Spider-Man fandom, the original Spider-Man, Peter Parker, remains the most widely known and generally beloved web-spinning, wall-crawling superhero to don the iconic mask and suit.

Spider Whiplash allows Peter to lift enemies into the air — it can even be used on Brute enemies.

Though the vast majority of Miles' unique abilities feature some degree of electric-based effects, Peter's repertoire of idiosyncratic abilities is generally absent of this type of damage-dealing skill, with one notable exception — Spider Shock. The ability Spider Shock allows Peter to shock enemies with lines of electrified web which, when touched, will shock the opponent and leave them vulnerable to further attack. Depending on if the adversary becomes entangled in the web, this attack can deal a great amount of damage, and this ability to temporarily shock enemies can give Peter the upper hand and change the course of a battle.
