* UnintentionalPeriodPiece:
** Not only do the pre-2007 cellphones, bulky CRT computer monitors, and the use of compact discs as a major storage medium give the early-2000s time period away, the choice to make Kraven the Hunter a reality TV star is an obvious artefact from a time when reality shows were the biggest thing on television.
** The dialogue of the young characters features a lot of casual usage of terms that, at the time, were seen as "casual swears" or the kind of "edgy" things teens would say, but now are regarded as very hurtful slurs against homosexuals, people with disabilities, women, and some other groups. This was actually quite common among Marvel's teen-aimed books around this time, making it a distinctly early-2000s feature.

* WriterRevolt: At the very least, the series provides the page image for the trope since the second part of the FreakyFridayFlip two parter begins with Bendis furiously strangling his assistant editor for suggesting the arc in the first place.

* AuthorAppeal: Bendis, known for his... [[PerverseSexualLust unique interest]] in ComicBook/KittyPryde (to the point where other comic writers within Marvel have commented on it), transplanted her into being part of Peter's supporting cast from the X-Men so he could write about her more.

* CrackIsCheaper: A direct market copy of the first issue is unusually pricey, currently valued at nearly $200.

** ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheNewAnimatedSeries'' was originally going to be an adaptation of this comic series. Instead, it was changed into being a sort of follow-up to [[Film/SpiderMan1 the first live-action film]].

Bendis also said that early on, someone pitched an idea for a crossover between 616-Peter and Ultimate Peter, but he decided against it especially since one of the subplots was Ultimate MJ developing a crush on the older Peter which he felt went into a creepy direction[[note]]An allusion to this is when 616 Peter gets a glimpse of Ultimate MJ, but she out of her grief during the "Death of Spider-Man" arc runs away, and of course the actual cross-over happened Post-OMD when initially it would have had a married Spider-Man crossing over[[/note]] and wasn't actually interesting in terms of character mashup.

** Peter Parker was also meant to be one of the many deaths in ComicBook/{{Ultimatum}}. Bendis decided at the last second that he didn't want the character to die yet because he wanted to tell more stories with him. It was during the writing of of the relaunched book, Ultimate Comics Spider-Man, that Bendis would conceptualize Peter's LegacyHero, ComicBook/MilesMorales.
