Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man introduces an alternate universe where Peter Parker doesn’t meet Tony Stark. This freedom allows the series to reimagine the Marvel Comics universe. The character selection features several lesser-known superheroes and villains, including Niko from the Runaways, Amadeus Cho, and a Wakandan teen capable of invisibility, all without established powers. This approach deviates from the typical interconnected superhero adaptations, where character identities are usually known, fostering excitement and curiosity about potential transformations as the series progresses.
Over the series' first drop of episodes - two this week, followed by multiple episode drops each week after - there was barely a character appearing who doesn't match up to a superhero or villain in Marvel Comics.
Peter's friends are Niko, the magic-wielder of the Runaways, one of the Agents of Atlas, and Tombstone.
It's set in an alternate timeline in which Peter Parker never meets Tony Stark, which gives it an awesome superpower that used to be quite standard for superhero adaptations.
Fan interest in casting announcements and the ever-present potential of leaks means that studios have to twist themselves in knots to hide a surprise villain or unexpected appearance.
