Ultimate Spider-Man/Trivia

Trivia tropes for the comics:

 * What Could Have Been: Spider Man the New Animated Series was originally going to be an adaptation of this comic series. Instead, it was changed into being a sort of follow-up to the first live-action film. However, after the announcement that The Spectacular Spider-Man had been cancelled, it was made news that a new Spider-Man series would be made, based upon this series.
 * The series isn't based on the comics so much as its premise is lifted from the recurring theme of the latter half of the comic series. (To be precise, the idea of training Spider-Man to his full potential, which In Universe general consensus agrees would make him the next great leader of heroes and the single greatest hope for protection of the next generation.)

Trivia tropes for the video game:

 * Hey, It's That Voice: Mac is Spider-Man, Clover is Mary Jane, Destro/Devastator is Venom, Tetrax Shard is Nick Fury, Daniel Holtz is Wolverine, Babu Bhatt is Shocker and Adrian Toomes, Bastila Shan--alternatively Clover's fellow spy, Sam and prior incarnations of Black Cat and Mary Jane--is Silver Sable (for the first time), Dan Dastun/Sabretooth is the Green Goblin, Obi-Wan Kenobi/Johnny Test is Electro, Danny Phantom is the Human Torch (for the first time), and Robin/Nightwing is Richard Parker.

Trivia tropes for the TV Series:

 * The Danza: Stan Lee as Stan the janitor.
 * Flip Flop of God: Christopher Yost denied rumors that The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes and Ultimate Spider-Man take place in the same universe. Jeph Loeb went on to confirm those rumors. Viewers have pointed out that if Loeb's word becomes true, it would open up a mess of contradictions.
