Is Ultimate Spider-Man (2012) on Disney Plus?
Marvel has been very generous over the years to fans of Spider-Man when it comes to making sure there is no shortage of comic books, live-action feature films, and animated series for fans of all ages to enjoy. After Spider-Man: The Animated Series and Spider-Man Unlimited, there was Ultimate Spider-Man that provided everyone with their fix of web-headed heroics.
Ultimate Spider-Man follows Peter Parker, who, when the show kicks off, has been the infamous wall-crawler for one year and still has a lot to learn about being a superhero. Nick Fury from S.H.I.E.L.D. offers to train Spider-Man to become what he calls “The Ultimate Spider-Man.” In order to do this, he’ll need to learn to fight alongside four other teenage heroes, including White Tiger, Iron Fist, Power Man, and Nova.
The Marvel animated show had some stellar writers on board, including Batman: The Animated Series’ Paul Dini and Brian Michael Bendis, who is known for such significant Marvel comic “event” storylines such as “House of M” and Secret War, among several others.
The show lasted a total of four seasons, renaming the third run Ultimate Spider-Man: Web Warriors and the fourth and final outing Ultimate Spider-Man vs. the Sinister 6, all of which are waiting to be streamed now on Disney Plus.
