Story[]
A gifted teenager named Peter Parker is given spider-like powers when he is bitten by a radioactive spider during a school field trip to OsCorp. After the death of his Uncle Ben at the hands of a burglar, Parker comes to his own terms of becoming a masked superhero named Spider-Man, learning to balance his crime-fighting career with his new enrollment at Horizon High, a school for students with genius-level intellect.
Background[]
Marvel announced that Ultimate Spider-Man would come to an end and be replaced with a new series titled Spider-Man. It will focus on the early days of Peter Parker starting off as Spider-Man, pulling a lot from Dan Slott's run on the comics. Kevin Shinick, of Robot Chicken fame, will be the story lead.[1]
Merchandising for the series revealed that it will feature Peter Parker as Spider-Man, Gwen Stacy as Ghost-Spider, Miles Morales as Spy-D, and some version of Venom.[2]

- In "School of Hard Knocks", Avengers from Avengers: Black Panther's Quest reprise their roles. Kamala Khan was sent on a secret mission given by Iron Man. Later she teamed up with Spider-Man to rescue the Avengers from A.I.M.
- In Spider-Man episode "Amazing Friends", Groot and Star-Lord from Guardians of the Galaxy reprise their roles. Star Lord wanted to send an important message to Spider-Man. So, he sent Groot to earth to give that message to Spider-Man.
- It was originally believed that Guardians of the Galaxy was set in the same universe as Ultimate Spider-Man. However, it was later confirmed that the entire Guardians of the Galaxy series and Black Panther's Quest is set in the same universe as this series[3][4][5]
