* The turning point of Spider-Man's first fight with Venom. In the Ultimate continuity, {{spoiler|Eddie Brock is a childhood friend of Peter, so when Brock turns out to be a psychopath and turns himself into Venom, Peter blames himself, and tries to talk Brock down. When Brock sets the symbiote on Peter, he finally decides to stop talking and start kicking ass. The CMOA occurs once Peter grabs a tire and hits the underside of his chin so hard Venom bites through his own tongue.}} Totally, totally badass.

* Perhaps the single most awesome moment in the Ultimate-verse is J Jonah Jameson {{spoiler|discovering Peter Parker is Spider-Man in the "Tainted Love" arc. You'd think he would go and plaster it all over his paper and ruin Spidey's reputation, right? Wrong! He tells his reporters that he knows who Spidey is, but is not going to tell them and will, in fact, use the Bugle to '''help''' Peter}}.

* J. Jonah Jameson, one of the proudest and most arrogant Spider-Man characters outside of the villains, ''actually has character development'' during the Ultimatum arc. In the midst of the catastrophe, he personally witnesses Spider-Man dive into the flood to save a woman's life, and instead of blowing it off with some rationalization, he actually writes in his newspaper that he had been wrong all along, that he had shirked his duty as a journalist, and delivers one of the most [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|heartwarming]] endorsements of Spider-Man imaginable.

* In the first episode, while Fury is offering Spider-Man the chance to train with S.H.I.E.L.D., the Trapster somehow frees himself just as Spidey asks Fury how ultimate an "Ultimate Spider-Man" they're talking about is. Fury responds by casually looking over his shoulder at the fleeing Trapster, removing his plasma revolver from its holster, and firing seemingly blindly into the air. The plasma-bolt comes down and sheers through a flagpole a couple stories up, causing the pole to fall and bonk Trapster on the head, knocking him out.

* In "Great Responsibility", Spider-Man manages to rally the team behind him to fight the Frightful Four, after just declining to work with them minutes ago. White Tiger also gets one for finally giving Spidey some credit.

* Iron-Fist gets another one in "Venom." Not only does he manage to evade the symbiote longer than anyone else on the team (save Spidey), but he even manages to expell it on his own. Even the way he expunged it was awesome. He punched the ground in a fit of rebellion, creating a radial shockwave that literally ''ripped [[Venom (Comic Book)|Venom]] from his body!'' He wasn't even phased by the merging/separation process like Flash, Nova, and Power Man were! He just got back to his feet and leapt back into the fray like it was nothing.

** Venom in general: unlike other villains (except Doctor Octopus and Taskmaster) who are treated as comical, Venom is taken more seriously and in every time he appears in an episode and very few scenes with Venom are played for humor, with Imagine Spots becoming less frequent as a result. Also {{spoiler|every time he is defeated, it seems that symbiote is gone, but it always survives}}. Also his design is rather impressive.

* How does Spidey win the day in "Field Trip?" He tricks Loki, the ''god of tricksters'' by hitting him the right in the ego. Loki is flat-out incredulous that he was beat by a mortal, only for Thor himself to correct him that Spider-Man is "no mere mortal."
