History VideoGame / UltimateSpiderMan

** Venom is not actually reimagined at all, his story from the comics is merely continued.

*** Also, the storyboards of the game revealed that the Ultimates were going along with Nick Fury, but ultimately didn't.

* ElementalRockPaperScissors: Invoked in the fight between Venom and Electro.

* ProductPlacement: A billboard featuring the Nokia 3230 cellphone can be found in the game.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: There were apparently plans to give cameos to TheUltimates.

* AlternateContinuity: The game is more of an entire reimagination of ''Ultimate Spider-Man'' than a real adaptation. For instance, the take on Venom and Spidey is completely different: Venom in particular is quite sympathetic and his fate is much better (for him) than in the comics. At the time in which it came out, it was actually more or less in continuity (and that's also how it was marketed). After some time, however, the comics went in a direction that couldn't support the game's events and a new arc was written that kind of paraphrased the game.

* TakeThat[=/=]SelfDeprecation: In the video game, Venom's tutorial presents you with your first task of absorbing people so that you don't lose health, your first target? A child holding a balloon. In ''VideoGame/SpiderMan2'', there were criticisms about helping kids who constantly lose their balloons.

* {{Adorkable}}: Peter Parker, again. [[FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends Sean Marquette has some experience voicing socially awkward guys who are pretty cute]].

** HilariousInHindsight: In [[SpiderManShatteredDimensions Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions]], Ultimate Spider-Man (who is bonded with the symbiote) has his normal outfit as an unlockable. And again, with no gameplay differences whatsoever.

* FiveBadBand:
** BigBad: Bolivar Trask
** TheDragon and EvilGenius: Adrian Toomes
** TheBrute: Electro
** DarkChick: Silver Sable

* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Venom feels that only he should be allowed to defeat Spider.

* VampiricDraining

* SparedByTheAdaptation: Venom, the character itself, in the Ultimate comics he barely is a character at all, just a blob which is always hungry and Eddie can't exactly control it; here even without control Venom seems to be maintain some intelligence, and Eddie learns how to control it, by the end of the game Venom seems to become much more harmless and lives on, unlike the comics version.

** In fact, there are cameos from all three of the other Ultimate series (at the time the game was made that is): Johnny Storm from the Fantastic Four, who you can race against, and Nick Fury from the Ultimates. No, you can't race ''him''.

A 2005 video game that is based on the comic ''{{Ultimate Spider-Man}}''.

This game provides examples of:

* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: FoeYay "Parker is mine! Mine! And you can't have him!" says Venom to Silver Sable.
** These lines, too.
-->'''Venom:''' ''Mine''!
-->'''Electro:''' ''Like hell!'' I've got dibs!
* PowerHigh: When Venom gains absolute control of his symbiotic suit he screams, "Yes!,Yes!, Yes! now I have TOTAL absolute control!"
* PunchClockVillain: Silver Sable

* WolverinePublicity: A barfight between Venom and Wolverine. Yes, you [[RuleOfCool read that right]].

* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: As the plot rushes towards it's conclusion, the penultimate level has Venom fight Carnage, who has no foreshadowing and little place in the game.

* WhatTheHellHero: Spider-Man calls out Nick Fury for not keeping Electro and Silver Sable in custody.

* AntiVillain: Silver Sable.
