Inspirations
This adaption to the story of Spider-Man draws inspiration from many different forms of Media. Most notably, the Ultimate Marvel Comics (Earth 1610). I like the idea of bringing the Marvel Universe into the adult world, dealing with mature themes such as: financial difficulties, near death situations, death itself, recreational drug use and medical conditions.

Of course, many of the characters back stories have been tweaked. This has been done to either mirror the plot, or because the back stories intertwine to another characters, keeping everything connected in some shape or form. This series, like many others will, involves cross overs with other characters from the same Universe. This is done mainly so that each series' characters are familiar with each other and to stretch that they exist in the same Universe.
