History ComicBook / UltimateSpiderMan2024

* RichardNixonTheUsedCarSalesman: Matt Murdock makes a cameo appearance in issue one, appearing to be a humble Catholic priest. It's implied that the Maker's meddling ensuring he never trained his senses and fighting prowess, so never became ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}, as he did in the main Franchise/MarvelUniverse setting.

** In the the mainline Franchise/MarvelUniverse, Harry Osborn and Peter were best friends in college, years before Harry became the Green Goblin. Here, Peter has never even met Harry as an adult, and Harry [[spoiler: is already the Green Goblin]].
** In the mainline universe, Peter met Gwen Stacy in college, dated her while Mary Jane dated Harry, and Peter eventually fell in love with MJ after Gwen's death, while Harry ended up marrying Liz Allen. Here, [[spoiler: Peter and Mary Jane first meet Gwen when Harry introduces her as his wife.]]

* WhamShot: J. Jonah Jameson is running down the Daily Bugle screaming "PARKER!", so you'd think that he's going at Peter. Classic Jameson, right? But then he casually stops to give Peter a friendly greeting and goes back to yelling and storming across the office, to which we see ''Ben'' Parker, the managing editor of the Bugle.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Green Goblin's armor looks oddly like that of Iron Man, [[spoiler:because he ''got it'' from Tony.]]

* InSpiteOfANail: Despite the Maker personally intervening to contain the radioactive spider before it bit Peter Parker in ''ComicBook/UltimateInvasion'', with Peter's life taking a very different path, he still marries Mary-Jane Watson and works for the Daily Bugle. Also he still suffered a personal tragedy at 15, though here it was [[spoiler:the death of his parents instead of his uncle]].

** The suits that Peter creates for his CostumeTestMontage are evocative of the black suit, the ComicBook/ScarletSpider, ComicBook/SpiderMan2099, and [[ComicBook/SuperiorSpiderMan2013 Superior Spider-Man]].

* NormalFishInATinyPond: Kingpin is TheDreaded in New York's criminal underworld, with good reason, but it's made clear that in the wider organization of the Illuminati, he's a ''very'' low-ranking member, pretty much a middle-manager at best. When confronted by the much higher-ranking Captain Britain, he's easily browbeaten into submission in a way nobody in Manhattan would get away with, and Bullseye later explicitly notes that he's a smallfry on anything but a local level.

* CompositeCharacter: Uncle Ben is merged with Phil Sheldon and/or Ben Urich, being reworked into an old friend and colleague of Jonah's who works at the Bugle.

!!''Ultimate Spider-Man'' provides examples of the following tropes:

** The suits that Peter creates for his CostumeTestMontage are evocative of the black suit, the Scarlet Spider, 2099, and Superior Spider-Man.
** To the original ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan'':

* RecycledTitle: This series shares a name with the original ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan, but this book involves a different version of Peter Parker and takes place in a whole different universe.

** Usually when a spider that gives Peter his powers, it kicks it after biting him. Here, the spider Peter receives from Iron Man is still alive, and is nowhere to be seen after Peter becomes Spider-Man.

* CoversAlwaysLie: For obvious marketing purposes Peter's Spider-Man outfit in promotional material and covers, as early as Issue #1, is presented in his recognizable classic red and blue colors, with the webbing pattern. In the story proper, however, Peter starts with a picotech suit which clads him in complete black, much like the symbiote but without a spider logo; Peter eventually wearing the suit that resembles his classic look is a plot thread that only starts to unravel in the first issues.

On Earth-6160, Peter Parker was never bitten by a radioactive spider as a teenager, and continued on living life as a normal man. He married Mary Jane Watson, had two kids with her, works at the Daily Bugle, etc. But underneath it all, Peter feels that something is ''missing''. He learns what that is when a message from Tony Stark reveals the secret, dark history of his world; Peter was meant to be a superhero, one of many that the Maker prevented from existing in his bid to rule the world. Invigorated by this sense of purpose, Peter accepts Tony's gift of truth and allows himself to be bitten by the radioactive spider.

* CueTheSun: Issue #1 was primarily set in snowy, overcast weather. When Peter accepts the spider bite and suits up for the first time, the clouds part and sun shines on New York City, signifying how one of the Marvel Universe's greatest heroes is finally born on Earth-6160 and hope has returned.

** Mysterio is apparently a superhero on Earth-6160, not unlike how his [[Film/SpiderManFarFromHome MCU counterpart]] (initially) was.

* AgeLift: Peter-6160 is older than Peter-616 by about a decade.
