Peter's then girlfriend Carlie Cooper becomes one of the citizens with spider-powers, and after she seems to run out of her organic webbing, asks Peter how she could replenish it. A partial explanation was given during the Spider-Island story-line, when all of New York City was given spider-powers, including organic webbing. While Spider-Man would return to using his traditional web-shooters during this time period, it was never fully explained why the organic webbing disappeared.

This upgrade to Spidey's powers, though it made him more spider-like then before, would be short-lived as, after 2007's controversial story-line One More Day, his power-set would seemingly return to normal. On top of his organic webbing, which allowed him to use vibrations in the strands to sense people, his entire body could now stick to surfaces, and he could even use night vision. Peter ultimately chooses to be reborn, and though initially seems back to normal, he was granted even more Spider-powers. While confined in the cocoon, Peter's consciousness confronts a spider-like creature, and is given the choice of either embracing his inner Spider and being reborn, or staying dead while denying his true nature.
The cocoon, as it turns out, contains Peter Parker's new body, which is waiting to be reborn. When Morlun pushes her aside and breaks her wrist, Peter briefly comes back to life and and murders Morlun in retaliation with his newfound spider "stingers." Though Peter died a second time afterwards, a new entity crawls out of Peter's body while in the morgue, and forms a cocoon to protect the new life form. When Peter's body reaches the hospital, Morlun attempts to feast on his corpse, but is stopped by Mary Jane Watson, then wife of Peter Parker. After a brutal confrontation between the two, Morlun successfully kills Spider-Man, but chooses to wait until later to feast on him. At the same time, Morlun returns and renews his hunt to defeat and feast on Spider-Man. In 2005's Spider-Man crossover, The Other, Spider-Man, having had frequent black-outs and a reoccurring dizzy feeling, learns from a doctor that he is slowly dying. Though this was the start of Spider-Man's descent into the supernatural, he would soon come face to face with his greatest otherworldly threat yet. However, the "Man-Spider" hybrid died, and Peter was reborn with the ability to spin webs organically, as opposed to using his web-shooters, as well as the power to communicate with insects. He would eventually come face to face with an enemy named "The Queen," who sought to turn Spider-Man into her mate, and turned him into a giant spider in an attempt to control him. Instead, the spider had transferred its power before the radiation had killed it, thus linking Peter to an animal totem, in this case a Spider totem.
Peter encountered a man named Ezekiel who claimed that Spider-Man receiving his powers via Spider bite was not a result of the radioactive nature of the spider. Michael Straczynski's run on The Amazing Spider-Man, Peter Parker would have his entire character redefined in a more supernatural context, rather than a scientific one.

Using his web-shooters to produce webbing was a longstanding tradition of Spider-Man's up until the early 2000's, where the ol' webhead would undergo some massive changes. Though the web-shooters are often reliable, there would be instances where he would run out of working cartridges, or his web-shooters would be broken or missing, leaving him unable to spin his webbing. Because the webbing was made scientifically, Spidey could adjust the formula, or combine it with different chemicals, to create special types of web-fluid to tackle a specific problem that regular webbing could not. In the traditional version of the story, Peter Parker created a web fluid that could be contained in cartridges which, when placed in the shooters, allow him to fire out a compound that emulates a spider's webbing. The Amazing Spider-Man has the proportionate strength, speed, and abilities of a spider, but what about his webbing? Traditionally, Spider-Man has relied on his own homemade gadgets, known as "web-shooters," to recreate a spider's ability to spin webs.
