Peter Parker was bitten by a radioactive spider as a teenager, granting him spider-like powers. After the death of his Uncle Ben, Peter learned that "with great power, comes great responsibility." Swearing to always protect the innocent from harm, Peter Parker became Spider-Man.
@The Lobster : This is based off the Ultimate Marvel universe and Ultimate Deadpool was a villain and a cyborg and was presumably killed.
First off, I was aware of that. But taking Shattered Dimensions into continuity, Deadpool was still a forth wall breaking villain. Villain or not, he could still appear in this series if they really wanted to. Although like I said, Two 4th wall breaking superheroes fighting would be a little too much.
Second, he wasn't killed. This image makes it painfully clear he wasn't. Thirdly, what does it matter if he was killed in the comics or not? This is a TV series, totally different part of continuity. They can add or change things however they see fit.
I'll watch this show just cuz I have fond memories of the 90s series ... until it got complicated the last couple of seasons. Spectacular was ok, but maybe i'm just too old to have appreciated it. still didn't deserve to be cancelled i agree.

True. True. True. Wow. That Ulti Deadpool arc was years ago and there's been no sign of him since then. O_O
Honestly, this looks like the best Spider-Man show I have ever seen.
1. More character added to Peter Parker (FINALLY) I feel like the shows have been lacking the Peter Parker we know from the comics and I figured that, like Deadpool, it couldn't. This looks like this is proving me wrong.
2. Good supporting cast. I hate to say it but the supporting casts from all of these other series were just alright. I didn't care enough about them and the stakes have been too low. Theyve been too much about teen agnst, but this looks like things could actually happen.
3. Super heroes. I know we all like to see super heroes guest star in shows and this'll finally have some. Series in the past stayed pretty contained to Spider-man's universe. It'll be exciting to see it branch out more.
4. Well cast. A lot of these parts are really well cast -- the voices are perfect. In the past, they havent been very great, but it seems like this whole cast is very well rounded. AND STAN LEE IS A RECURRING ROLL!
I will watch this for sure, Im a HUGE spidey fan and have the Mcfarland tat on my back to prove it. But I was told as a rumor that its the story of the new spiderman (Morales). I was kind of geeked to see How that was going to play out. But seeing peter again is cool.
@Shadowsnake89: Because the show hasn't aired yet, therefore judgement can't technically be passed and there's a possibility that this could turn out to be the superior of the two shows?

No kidding eh? It's kinda ticking me off how little of an impact he made in the Ultimate universe. Specially since there was SOOOO much room to really flesh out this character and show off how much of a bad@$$ he could be.
You'd think that when Marvel was overusing Deadpool they'd have jumped at the possibility to give this guy a mini series at least. Nope, he just kinda got shafted. Let's face it the last we seen this character was in Shattered Dimensions and we could debate till the world ends on whither or not that was part of continuity....heck Deadpool himself in his level asked that question... It seems like a complete waste of a potentially good character. I hope Deadpool reappears to face Miles Morales sometime soon.
I've been wanting a new spiderman cartoon that has a chance to live the most recent i recall was a spiderman mtv cartoon which was too short and rushed. So here to our new spiderman!
HAHAHHAHA DRAKE BELL as Ultimate Spider-Man?! The same guy who starred in Superhero Movie as Rick Riker (satirical version of Peter Parker)? This made my day.
You know what, no matter what this show looks like, I'm going to watch it. Stan Lee is just so into it, I'd honestly feel bad if I didn't watch it... excelsior! :D
I just found out Taskmaster is appearing in episode 5 or 6! Screw how I feel about the show i'm going to watch it just because they've included my favorite character!
This is one of those shows that'll have interesting development. Also, I don't get fans hating. TV shows are usually aimed for kids so I really don't think they'll do it in a certain way for adult fans.
Looks great to me. I have the DVR set already. I liked the Ultimate Spider-man comics until they killed off Peter Parker (which I have yet to read that story arc, but it still annoys me). I'm wondering if this will run parallel to the continuity in Avengers.
It would have been good if they didn't have a cut-away joke every dam minute, like if they are trying to mimic family guy. And the whole deal with the spider-bike i'll bet was just a marketing strategy for a toy they'll release pretty soon. But by no means will I lose hope in this show. Just a couple of days ago I re-watched some x-men evolution, remembering it to be a good show, but starting with episode one was a nightmare with its cheesy dialogue and extreme screaming guitars. Yet about 4 episodes in, it was back to the x-men show I remembered.
