The show & character was labeled "Ultimate Spider-Man" due to the fact that although it's suppose to be the original mainstream Spider-Man, everything about him and most of the other characters in the show is based off of the original Peter Parker version Ultimate Spider-Man & Ultimate Universe characters. They've thrown in bits and pieces from the mainstream universe and the Marvel Movie universe as well (Nick Fury, Agent Coulson, SHIELD & The Avengers). I don't think they even thought about ever having Peter Parker meeting Miles Morales until they decided to do a simplified take on the current Spider-Verse storyline that's going on in the Spider-Man comics.

Damn. You April Fool's pranking hard, huh? First the you don't know who Sidney Poitier is in that other thread now this....
It's a super hero movie for one (y so srs?)....two...the rock is a decent actor...three....it's nice to see guys with size and stature actually play beefy comic book characters
It's official; dective Lance is the worst dective in the universe. The quality of writing on Arrow plummeting. The show runners are doing too much. Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl and a new team Superhero show with The Atom, Hawkgirl, the old Black Canery and maybe Static. Their doing too much.
U actually watch these shows for their writing? I thought they were supposed to be fan service wank-a-thons
