Publisher Bill Jemas wanted to reinvent the Marvel Universe because he felt that, with over 40 years of back-story, it had become inaccessible to new readers, and he wanted to start with a reinvented Spider-Man. Ultimate Spider-Man was the first series to be published in the Ultimate Marvel line.

Ultimate Spider-Man exists alongside other revamped Marvel characters in Ultimate Marvel titles including Ultimate X-Men, Ultimate Fantastic Four, and The Ultimates. The series is a modernized re-imagining of Marvel’s long-running Spider-Man comic book franchise as part of its Ultimate Marvel imprint. Ultimate Spider-Man was a superhero comic book series that was published by Marvel Comics from 2000 to 2009.
