History ComicBook / UltimateSpiderMan2000

** Earlier, when Peter is first testing out his new powers in an abandoned warehouse, he feels a sudden twinge in his wrist, causing him to look at it and ask "What is this?!" But rather than developing organic web shooters like in [[Film/SpiderMan1 the recent movie]], nothing comes of this and he builds mechanical ones instead.

** ''Ultimate Fallout'' sees Captain America tell May at Peter's funeral about his prior lack of faith in Peter, including telling Peter to quite right before everything that caused his death went down. Understandably, May proceeds slap the man, and to publicly and loudly call out the Ultimates right then and there for their failure to help Peter.

There's also the 2005 [[VideoGame/UltimateSpiderMan tie-in game]], which introduced Ultimate Beetle and was marketed as being in continuity with the series but this has since been the subject of CanonDiscontinuity. A version of the game's plot and events was adapted between USM #123-128 ("War of the Symbiotes"). And on the subject of video games, Ultimate Spidey also made an appearance in 2010's ''[[VideoGame/SpiderManShatteredDimensions Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions]]'' as one of the four playable characters ([[DummiedOut on home consoles]]). Not to be confused with the ''[[WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan2012 Ultimate Spider-Man]]'' animated show, which is InNameOnly, has a different premise; though as with most Marvel adaptions it does have some Ultimate Universe elements incorporated into it.

After a six-month TimeSkip following ''ComicBook/{{Ultimatum}}'', the series was re-launched as ''Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man'' until the comic reached its 150th issue (counting both pre- and post-Ultimatum issues) and returned to its original numbering and naming format for 10 issues. The series ended with issue 160, followed by the miniseries ''Ultimate Fallout''. A third volume came out with a new character ComicBook/MilesMorales and the title ''Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man, Volume 2'' or ''Ultimate Comics: '''All-New''' Spider-Man'' with new numbering. In 2012, as part of the [=50th=] anniversary of Spider-Man titles, the first 616 and Ultimate Universe crossover, ''ComicBook/SpiderMen'' was launched, which saw the 616 Peter arrive into the ultimate universe and meet Miles. In 2014, The fourth and final volume, called ''Miles Morales: Ultimate Spider-Man'', began in the wake of the ''[[Comicbook/CataclysmTheUltimatesLastStand Cataclysm]]'' CrisisCrossover. This title ended with #12 and led into ''ComicBook/SecretWars2015'' at the end of which Miles Morales was imported directly into the main 616 Continuity, as a part of the ''ComicBook/AllNewAllDifferentMarvel'' line-up, not only starring in ''ComicBook/AllNewAllDifferentAvengers'', but also starring in ''ComicBook/SpiderMan2016'', written by Bendis with Miles as the main Spider-Man with the original Peter Parker serving as a mentor for the younger web-slinger. The crossover ''ComicBook/SpiderMenII'' provided a coda for ''Ultimate Spider-Man'' and ''Ultimate Marvel''.

* CaptainEthnic: Miles' ruined costume reveals his skin color (though thankfully not his identity), and footage of this was uploaded on the internet by a girl who promptly start making a massive deal and calling him "Black Spider-Man". Miles is understandably miffed by this, because for starters he's half-Hispanic and, although he doesn't put in the exact words, he doesn't want to be recognized simply for his race [[SkewedPriorities because it ignores all his accomplishments and actions in favor of something so trivial as skin color.]]
--> '''Miles Morales''': "This is- I don't want to be the ''Black Spider-Man''. I want to be ''Spider-Man''.

* TakeThat: In issue #200, Bobby Drake's version of Peter Parker's future involves him [[WesternAnimation/{{Ultimate Spider-Man}} joining a team of teenage superheroes (including Nova and White Tiger), and using a bunch of hi-tech vehicles provided by S.H.I.E.L.D.]] Mary Jane rolls her eyes and asks if he's done talking.

* RealityEnsues: As shown with both Peter and Miles, teenagers are not good at protecting their secret identities as their classmates eventually put two and two together. It reached the point that during Ultimate Fallout the only one in Peter’s class who didn’t realize he was Spiderman was Flash Thompson.

* RealityEnsues: While Iceman is riding his ice ramps through the sky on his way to [[spoiler:the memorial get-together for Peter]], he's suddenly joined by Firestar flying on one side and the Human Torch on the other. He's just starting to complain that there's too much fire up there for him when the heat radiating off his two friends melts through his ramp and sends him plummeting to the ground.
-->'''Bobby:''' I'm okay!

* CainAndAbel: The Prowler and Miles Morales, uncle and nephew, have this dynamic. Their first meeting in their costumes leads to a violent clash, and the Prowler soon blackmails Miles Morales into bending his moral code. Needless to say, the tension between the two quickly ascends to full-on estrangement, and ends in an all-out war between the two that ends with [[spoiler: the Prowler's violent death.]]

* PositiveDiscrimination: Miles' ruined costume reveals his skin color (though thankfully not his identity), and footage of this was uploaded on the internet by a girl who promptly start making a massive deal over the idea of a [[CaptainEthnic "Black Spider-Man"]]. Miles is understandably miffed by this, because for starters he's half-Hispanic and, although he doesn't put in the exact words, he doesn't want to be recognized simply for his race [[SkewedPriorities because it ignores all his accomplishments and actions in favor of something so trivial as skin color.]]
--> '''Miles Morales''': "This is- I don't want to be the ''Black Spider-Man''. I want to be ''Spider-Man''.

* NotSoDifferent: [[spoiler: The Prowler / Miles' uncle]] says this, as he lays dying. This sends Morales down a HeroicBSOD.

* ProtagonistCentredMorality: The handling of the AdaptationalVillainy given to [[spoiler: Katie Bishop]], particularly since they're a 15 year old girl who's only villainous due to being raised by dedicated Hydra fanatics, who gets treated like she's worse than Hitler for, you know, being loyal to her parents (who are shown to, at best, be emotionally manipulative). It crosses into PCM however when Miles basically gives Bombshell consent to beat the crap out of her, even though Bombshell herself is NotSoDifferent from [[spoiler: Katie]], being she too was once an active criminal due to following her mother's lead.

''Ultimate Spider-Man'', part of the ComicBook/UltimateMarvel line, is a retelling of the original ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'' comic written by Creator/BrianMichaelBendis and drawn, originally, by Mark Bagley and later by Stuart Immonen. The Bendis and Bagley collaboration, which lasted for 111 issues, holds the record for longest continual run on a Marvel Comics series by two people, breaking the record set by Creator/StanLee and Creator/JackKirby on ''ComicBook/FantasticFour''.

* OnlyPointTwoPercentDifferent: There's an [[ArtisticLicenseBiology inaccurate]] example when Spidey encounters the new Scorpion...[[CloningBlues who looks just like him]]. He brings Scorpion to the Fantastic Four, and Reed finds that Scorpion's DNA is 94% similar to Spidey's. For comparison, that's how much humans and ''chimpanzees'' have in common DNA-wise. However, he might be ignoring homo sapiens standard DNA, and only counting DNA that could be expected to vary from individual to individual.

* NoodleIncident: Happens every now and then, such as Peter referencing one time when Mary Jane had to dial *69 on Kong. Why Kong was calling her anonymously is [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar left up to the reader's imagination]].

* YankTheDogsChain: Things are looking up in Peter's life. He's well liked by the general public for once and no longer viewed as a criminal. He's getting official superhero training to prepare him for a life of government sanctioned celebrity level superheroism. He's been guaranteed a high paying job at [[IronMan Stark Industries.]] JJ knows he's Spider-Man and not only gives him his old job back but also gives him a payraise, an infinite get-out-of-jail free card that let him ditch work to be Spider-Man, and free college tuition should he survive long enough to go to college. Peter even gets his old girlfriend back as a cherry on top. [[spoiler:Almost immediately after this turn of good luck he [[TakingTheBullet takes a bullet meant]] for ComicBook/CaptainAmerica and dies in a [[DyingMomentOfAwesome final battle with the Sinister Six]].]]

* {{Deconstruction}}: Possibly [[UpToEleven even more of a deconstruction]] than its [[ComicBook/SpiderMan mainstream counterpart]]:
** Peter's ended up in the hospital twice as a result of being Spider-Man. Half the time, injuries go untreated since he can't risk medics finding out his identity.
** Some supporting characters and antagonists put two and two together to figure out his secret identity. This includes Kingpin, who effortlessly uses his information network to find out where he goes to school. He even finds out the names and identities of Daredevil, Iron Fist, and Shang Chi. And {{ComicBook/SHIELD}} was already onto him way before then.
** The fact that Spider-Man is a student at Peter's high school eventually brings a small media circus down on it, with newscrews camped outside almost all the time. Several principals even quit because of the stress involved. By the end of the first volume, the school board is seriously considering shutting the school down entirely, as multiple supervillain attacks have led to it being deemed unsafe.
** Mary Jane breaks up with Peter for a while because his dangerous lifestyle as a crime-fighter becomes too overwhelming for her; She's had a firsthand look at some of the injuries he's sustained in battle, and she's constantly worried sick that he'll wind up dead someday because of it. Her first personal encounter with a super-villain leaves her with post-traumatic stress which she's not able to get help owing to Peter's double life and Peter's own superhero career not allowing him time to actually listen and counsel her. Peter and MJ actually spend a ''lot''' of the comic breaking up and getting back together, usually because one is afraid for the safety of the other (Peter's always facing danger head-on, and there are plenty of times when MJ is put in danger by proxy). The overall effect is that Peter's life as Spider-Man puts a ton of stress on their relationship, and as two teenagers who haven't been in a serious relationship before, they don't have any reference for how to deal with it, and Peter's secret identity means they can't even really talk to anyone about it, much less a qualified therapist.
** Kingpin pulls a KarmaHoudini multiple times just by pulling a few strings. As it turns out, bringing down a mob requires a little more than just punching bad guys in the face. And just to top it off, he promptly copyrights Spider-Man's image and makes him into a merchandising tool. After all, [[CutLexLuthorACheck that guy who keeps a secret identity isn't willing or able to expose his identity by laying down a patent on his costume, let alone raising a lawsuit or complaint]].
*** Likewise, a major Hollywood film is made with Spider-Man as the focus, and to Peter's horror the fact that he has to keep his identity secret means he can't sue, complain, offer input, or even get a royalty check.
*** Kingpin also winds up on the receiving end of this trope as well; if there are vigilantes operating outside the law in New York, eventually they'll get sick of a KarmaHoudini always getting off on technicalities. When Daredevil assembles various super-heroes to discuss how to handle the Kingpin, Peter actually has to talk the group out of outright ''murdering'' Fisk. Later in the same book Kingpin blows up Matt Murdock's law office, smug in the knowledge that there's no way to prove he did it... Only for Daredevil to break into his home and threaten to very nearly murder his wife. [[spoiler: Eventually, Fisk winds up casually and unceremoniously killed because he caught the attention of an ACTUAL super-villain who didn't give a toss about his KarmaHoudini status.]]
** Shocker is a deconstruction of the HarmlessVillain trope. [[spoiler: His ButtMonkey abuse ends up causing him to snap and horrifically torture Spider-Man. It's all but explicitly said that Spider-Man's constant fights with him have wrecked his mental state beyond repair.]]
** Punisher isn't portrayed as an AntiHero of any sort, he's shown to be exactly what you would expect a man who dresses in skull attire and shoots up criminals to be; a complete psychopath with little to no self-control who does more harm than good.
** Spider-Man ends up with severe emotional and mental scarring from all the traumatic stuff he experiences. Daredevil notes repeatedly that this '''really''' isn't the kind of job a down on his luck teen from the suburbs should be getting into.
** J Jonah Jameson is also arguably a deconstruction of the complete caricature his 616!counterpart is, and whilst utterly abrasive, has been shown to be an objective newsman with incredibly strong morals.
** Daredevil gets a much darker portrayal than his 616!counterpart, having no qualms about killing his enemies and even (in the case of [[spoiler: Wilson Fisk]]) holding their loved ones hostage to get to them. His relationship with Spider-Man is also drastically different; instead of being a close ally that respects and even relates to him, Daredevil treats him mostly with disdain and often chews him out for being, in his own opinion, a naive, inexperienced kid with no business fighting crime. While this could be explained as Daredevil wanting to keep a teenager from getting involved in a life he may not be ready for, it doesn't change the fact that he's very much a JerkAss to Peter (to the point of physically ''assaulting'' him on at least one occasion) and goes to extremes that 616 Daredevil would never go to. It goes to show that Daredevil's brand of vigilante justice wouldn't exactly make him the nicest, or ''sanest'' person.

** A conversation in issue Issue 68 takes a dig at ComicBook/{{Catwoman}}, but is [[Film/{{Catwoman}} possibly a dig at the movie version]].

** USM #65-71, which followed the ''Carnage'' arc. The first issue dealt with featured Peter and the rest of the SixStudentClique reacting to [[spoiler:Gwen Stacy's death]]; and the six issues that followed served as a breather arc before the ''Hobgoblin'' arc, and featured the first meeting of Spider-Man and the Human Torch.

* TooSoon: [[invoked]] Miles is hit with this ''in his first appearance'' as bystanders start calling him out for the bad taste in running around in a copy of Spider-Man's costume so soon after his death. Jessica Drew, Nick Fury, Tony Stark and Hawkeye giving him the exact same treatment. [[spoiler:However, after helping take down Electro, Drew and Fury give him his own custom suit, but Jessica warns him to take it seriously and honor Peter's memory before walking away.]]
