** ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan got his own team-up book, ''ComicBook/UltimateMarvelTeamUp''. Several Ultimate heroes, like the Hulk and Iron Man, first appeared in this one. Its canonicity is a mixed bag: the fight of Spider-Man and Hulk is seen in a flashback in ''ComicBook/TheUltimates'' (so it's canon), but the Fantastic Four are openly at odds with the premise of ''ComicBook/UltimateFantasticFour'', and so was made not canon. It depends on the issue.

This is (usually but not always) an ongoing (as opposed to a MiniSeries) ComicBook series built around the concept of two (sometimes more but usually just two) [[CrossOver heroes teaming up]] - it usually has one main star which others team up with, but not always. Series where the main characters pretty much only team up with each other, like ''[=Superman/Batman=]'' and ''World's Finest'' (also a Superman[=/=]Batman team up) don't count. Also not for regularly teaming groups like ComicBook/TheAvengers, JusticeLeagueOfAmerica, etc.

** ''ComicBook/TheBraveAndTheBold'' started off as an anthology title focusing on Ye Olden Days type heroes such as Silent Knight and Viking Prince. After that fizzled, it became a second try out book for DC (after the success of the legendary ''Showcase'') and helped launch such instrumental DC titles as the JusticeLeagueOfAmerica and the Comicbook/TeenTitans. Teams such as those proved popular, so it start pairing up various random heroes, but the Batman team-ups sold better and before long Batman was in every team-up they did. So, at one point or another, the title was every single variation on this trope.

** The most recent version of ''Marvel Team-Up'' (to actually use that name, at least) didn't focus on Spider-Man; usually they were one-time teamups, although there was a HalfArcSeason through the series regarding new villain Titannus.

to:

** The most recent version Volume 2 of ''Marvel Team-Up'' (to actually use (lasting 11 issues) attempted a different approach. Spider-Man appeared in the first seven issues, with five of them forming a story arc. Issue #6 saw Spider-Man team up with Namor, being something of a pass the torch as the Sub-Mariner got a story arc that name, at least) lasted through the remainder of the series (though #7 was a one-off story teaming up Spidey and Blade). At about this time, several 1998 annuals for various main titles also did team-up stories, probably as a cross-promotional event.
