WMG / Ultimate Spider-Man (2024)

Go To

The Green Goblin is either JJ Jameson or Uncle Ben.
Tired of the corruption of the city, one of them decides to take it to use a high-tech armour to give some vigilante justice. I don't know where the armour came from, but I believe it should be them.

While I don't have evidence to back this up, it could make sense from a meta point of view. This universe changes lots of things (Peter being married with kids, Ben being alive, Jameson being a chill dude...) and we've never seen a villanous Uncle Ben (Except for that one time he was an abusive drunkard). It would be a pretty swell idea. And in Jameson's case, it could be an homage to his various Spider-Slayers.

  • Jossed. It's Harry Osborn.

The Green Goblin is still Norman Osborn.
He merely faked his death during the attack and is now trying to take back "his" city by force.
  • Jossed. It's his son, Harry.

Uncle Ben will die.
Doomed by Canon and all that.
  • Given that canon has had a hatchet taken to it by The Maker, it seems that what is canon in other universes should not nescisarily be seen as essential here.

Earth 6160 will be brought up in Beyond the Spider Verse
As I mentioned above 6160 is a universe which has had it's conventional canon ripped out by the roots by a multiverseal interloper, Spider Man in particular has experienced great changes. As such it may be used as an example by Miles or his allies against Miguel's Canon Event theory.

Peter may end up becoming somewhat of a father figure to Tony Stark
If for no other reason than an amusing inversion of the mentor/mentee relationship the pair had in the MCU. Alternatively, as a nod both to it and the section of the fandom who opposed "Irondad" if and when Spidey and Iron Lad do team up properly, Peter will attempt to be some form or mentor to Tony only for the latter to turn him down.

Harry Osborn might be the Green Goblin.
Given how there are moments during his speech that implies there's a darker personality underneath his grief, which Mary Jane noted, it wouldn't be impossible to say that he's taking justice in his own hands.
  • Confirmed, as of Issue #3.

Various Spider-Man storylines will be reimagined.
Considering the cover art with Peter in various iconic Spider-Man costumes and Jonathan Hickman's penchant for Foreshadowing, this series will do its own versions of the Black Suit Saga, the Clone Saga, and maybe even something with 2099.
  • Peter's suit is apparent a nanotech stealth suit from Tony Stark, so maybe the 6160 symbiote will be this suit going haywire and developing a consciousness that threatens Peter's life. This will lead to him abandoning Tony's suit and instead use a more traditional cloth costume.
  • The Maker or the Maker's Council tried to create their own Spider-Man under their control by researching the radioactive spider, creating Ben Reilly. After all, why didn't the Maker just get rid of the spider unless he wanted to look into what he might be able to do with it?
  • Some time travel nonsense will bring 2099 into Peter's life, and Spider-Man 2099 will be revealed to be part of Kang's army.

Black Cat will make an appearance, and in this continuity she will be younger than Peter.
I feel like the addition of a wife and kids would make these interactions delightfully awkward. He's older, more responsible, and mature. She's young, flirtatious, and sneaky. I don't think Peter would cheat on MJ, but Cat would definitely try to make a move. You could also have an inverted homage to the original USM: "Oh, my god! He's probably in highschool."

The Maker gave Peter everything his 616 counterpart wanted to placate him
Note that Peter's parents were alive until he was fifteen in this universe. There's a likely chance that beyond just stopping the spider from biting him, the Maker did everything to ensure that he never became Spider-Man, including sparing his parents from dying when he was young, ensuring Uncle Ben survived, making J. Jonah Jameson nice to him, and allowing him to marry Mary Jane and have children. Overall, many factors that would discourage Peter from superheroics.

The Shocker will make pretending to give up while acting nice and reasonable into his primary tactic
Mainly because it works for him so darn well. And it'll keep working despite Peter trying to warn people not to fall for it.

The Spider will end up biting someone else
Spared by the Adaptation notes that the Spider Peter gets from Iron Lad didn't die after biting Peter, but has dissapeared. This could result in it biting someone else, either resulting in a partner for Spider Man... or a rival. The question is who?

The Hobgoblin will be an Evil Knockoff to the Green Goblin
He'll either be a Loony Fan of Green Goblin or he's deliberately trying to ruin the Green Goblin's reputation.

Mysterio isn't a hero by any means
He's just fooling the public with drones and a "film crew" who fake threats for him to pretend to stop, much like in Spider-Man: Far From Home. The difference here is that he has enough sense to keep things simple; He simply claims to be a wizard instead of a wizard-techno-superhero-soldier from a destroyed alternate world and the fake threats are smaller in scale, leaving less room for error.
