The new Ultimate Universe is unlike anything we could have expected and, with each new issue, we learn more about this world.
So far, we've learned that The Maker prevented a radioactive spider from biting the young Peter and likewise stopped other superheroes from being created. In their place, he formed a secret council to rule the world from the shadows.
In the first issue of Ultimate Spider-Man, Peter, now a married father of two, received the spider which should have bitten him from Tony Stark, a.k.a. Iron Lad. The time-traveller also sent him a "picotech" suit and a warning about those really in charge.
Since then, we've seen the new Spider-Man get to grips with his powers, all while a new Green Goblin takes aim at the villainous Kingpin of Crime. The Goblin is Harry Osborn, a billionaire intent on making Wilson Fisk pay for his father's death.

When we talk about perfect casting choices -- even outside the realm of superhero movies -- J.K. Simmons as The Daily Bugle head honcho J. Jonah Jameson in "Spider-Man" has to be right up there with the best of the best. Simmons so perfectly encapsulated the role that he has, essentially, been kept on as just about every version of the character throughout the Marvel multiverse, as evidenced by "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse." But before Simmons signed on for the role, he was seen as perfect for another, very different role in Spidey's rogues gallery.
In the most recent issue of Empire Magazine, the Oscar-winning actor reflected upon the early days of his time in the Marvel universe when he was only just hearing that Sam Raimi was going to direct "Spider-Man." At the time, he was shooting another Raimi film, "The Gift," and it was suggested...

Captain America: Brave New World is less than a year away from hitting theaters and, if we're really lucky, a trailer might be attached to Deadpool & Wolverine later this summer.
In the meantime, a new still from the movie has started doing the rounds on social media - seemingly from Empire - which features Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie), director Julius Onah, and Xosha Roquemore's mystery character.
Cap is suited up and appears to be in a war room. As for Roquemore, it's previously been reported that she's playing Leila Taylor. Introduced in 1971 and created by Stan Lee and John Romita Sr., she was Sam Wilson's girlfriend but faded into obscurity in the early 2000s.
On the page, Leila was a journalist who fought for equal rights and eventually worked for The Daily Bugle. This version looks like she might work for the CIA or be a Secret Service agent,...

Superhero fans are thoroughly enjoying the new X-Men ’97 animated series. The show is a continuation of the original X-Men: The Animated Series that launched in 1992. However, this recent release from Marvel Studios Animation has also got comic-book buffs wondering if they could soon get a long-awaited Spider-Man animated show.
Spider-Man’s animated cartoons have been a fan favorite over the past five decades. The first cartoon featuring the friendly neighborhood wall-crawler came out in 1967 and the superhero has been on a roll ever since. However, the character’s complicated TV rights have made it rather difficult to adapt the long-awaited Spider-Man ’98 show on TV.

Spider-Man’s popularity has dominated the small screen since the first show was released in 1967. Since then, nine more shows featuring the superhero have come out.

MCU’s Iron Man has been one of the most important and beloved characters in the Marvel universe, perhaps because of Robert Downey Jr’s performance. But several fans believe that apart from Downey Jr’s work, there are a few scenes and characters in the movie that completely transform the hero’s story in the franchise, and give birth to many fan theories.
MCU’s Iron Man 2008
One such epic example of an Iron Man fan theory surrounds a major Daredevil character. Paving the way in Iron Man’s MCU timeline, a character appears as a reporter by the name of Ben, in Stark’s press conference at the end of Jon Favreau’s Iron Man. Now, bizarre theories suggest that it could be Ben Urich from the Daredevil universe who was brutally murdered by Kingpin. Did Iron Man really resurrect this Daredevil character?
Did Ben Urich Supposedly Appear in Iron Man?...

Spider-Man: No Way Home rocked the world of Marvel fandom more than two years ago and left the fans of the web-slinger immensely satisfied. One of the well-hidden secrets in the film was the appearance of Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Mans from earlier Sony films. One scene involving Garfield’s Peter Parker has sparked new doubts about a potential plot hole in the billion-dollar-grossing film.
Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire in Tom Holland’s Spider-Man: No Way Home
In The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Jamie Foxx played the central villain Electro / Max Dillon. Dillon was an electrical engineer at Oscorp who idolized Spider-Man before a freak accident turned him into a powerful living electric capacitor. It is Spider-Man’s interactions with Max Dillon that are at the center of the new confusion.

It's easy to forget, what with all the recent hype about it, but as far as movies are concerned the concept of a "multiverse" is anything but new. Gwyneth Paltrow was starring in rom-coms about alternate realities 25 years ago, with the groundbreaking "Sliding Doors," and just a few years later Jet Li tried to kill every other version of himself across alternate realities in the action-thriller "The One."
But a few things have certainly changed. Audiences seem to grasp the concept pretty clearly now — making weird and complex films that would have probably struggled to find mainstream acceptance years ago into massive Oscar-winning crossover hits — and so do motion picture studios. Thanks to multiverses, studios can now create movies and shows where every iteration of their intellectual property can exist simultaneously, making the nostalgic seem new and the fan service seem poignant.

Even though the current season of Fortnite is called “Vibin,” it might as well be dubbed the “Season of George Lucas” since it allows players to loot Darth Vader’s lightsaber (and earn various Star Wars cosmetics) as well as acquire various Indiana Jones-themed rewards. However, unlike the Darth Vader skin, if you want to look the part of a world-famous treasure hunter, you will need to earn it.
Each Indiana Jones cosmetic in Fortnite is locked behind a different quest, and not all of those missions are created equal. You don’t exactly need a team of top men working on those quests in order to unlock them, but you can’t rely on an X to mark the spot, either. While some missions are as easy as shooting an enemy in the face, others take players on one heck of a treasure hunt.

What has made Peter Parker an enduring hero for the last sixty years is that he could be us. He is someone who has great highs and really low low, but strives to do right because that’s the way he was raised. As Peter he is bullied for being shy and withdrawn, for being smart, for not being popular. As Spider-Man, he is belittled, picked on, subjugated to immense criticism and faces impossible odds with regularity.
We root for him because he rarely gives up, always comes back for more, and always tries to make things right. When Peter’s (Tom Holland) secret identity was revealed in Spider-Man: Far from Home we knew this was going to be a new set of obstacles. Spider-Man: No Way Home opens with the world adjusting to the idea that this high school student is a super-hero or menace. We see its impact on him,...

This article contains Morbius and Spider-Man: No Way Home spoilers.
Given the vagueness of certain things about the Morbius and Venom movies, the post-credits scenes in this weekend’s superhero release are kind of funny. It was already pretty jarring in the first place that Michael Keaton’s Vulture, who was such a memorable villain in Spider-Man: Homecoming, would be teleported for no discernable reason into the universe where Jared Leto’s Morbius, the Living Vampire, exists. Stranger still is how unfazed Keaton’s Adrian Toomes is about never seeing his wife and daughter again. Instead he just wants to team up with a freaking vampire, allegedly “to do some good.”
So all by themselves, the Morbius post-credits scenes are bizarre. But then comes the kicker. When our dear Dr. Michael Morbius asks how he got here, Vulture responds, “I’m not sure, but I think it has something to do with Spider-Man.
