Synopsis

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.

Plot

Peter Parker is accepted into Horizon High – a high school for brilliant young scientific minds. He struggles with the duality of his social life at school and hiding his secret identity of Spider-Man from everyone including his best friend, Harry Osborn, who attends the competing Osborn Academy for Geniuses. As Peter embraces his alter-ego, and battles against super villains like Vulture, Lizard, Doc Ock and Hammerhead, he is forced to watch Harry slowly descend to the wrong side of good and evil.

• Friendship, family, trust, and growth appear to be the main themes and morals of the series.
• Despite being marketed as a successor/reboot to the previous series Ultimate Spider-Man, the show bears no resemblance to the former.
  • The only concepts borrowed from Ultimate Spider-Man are the Web-Warriors name, Peter's gadgets like web-wings, Miles being referred to as Kid Arachnid on merchandising, and most of the production staff carrying over from Ultimate Spider-Man.
• Many elements in this series are borrowed from writer Dan Slott's time on The Amazing Spider-Man comics. The second season would go on to adapt the infamous Superior Spider-Man storyline.
  • The third season borrows elements from various comic books featuring Venom.
• Stephen Wacker has said that despite Miles, Spider-Gwen, and Spider-Girl being the focus in merchandise alongside Spider-Man, that the show is a solo series with occasional team-ups.
