Spoilers ahead for Ultimate Spider-Man #1
Ultimate Spider-Man #1 by writer Jonathan Hickman, artist Marco Checchetto, color artist Matthew Wilson, and letterer Cory Petit hinges on a few major changes⭕ to Peter Parker's life that go beyond💫 his ongoing marriage to Mary Jane Watson and their two kids. For one thing, as previously teased, Peter Parker doesn't have his powers when the story starts, opening with Peter around 35 years old, working at the Daily Bugle, and powerless.
The Daily Bugle, a mainstay of Peter Parker's life in core Marvel continuity, is also part of his life in the new Ultimate Universe, but with some big changes to what we know from classic tales. Like in the regular Marvel Universe, J. Jonah Jameson is the Bugle's editor-🅷in-chief. But working alongside him is nonꦯe other than Uncle Ben, Jonah's best friend and the Bugle's managing editor.
Yes, that's right - Uncle Ben is alive in the world of Ultimate Spider-Man. And in an even bigger twist, Aunt May is dead, having been caught in the so-called terrorist attack for which Tony Stark was framed in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Ultimate Universe #1 (which actually revealed May's death in a news scroll). Along with May, Norman Osborn and his wife Emily, with their son 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Harry Osborn - a stranger to Peter Parker in this reality - giving a eulogy at a memorial for the victims 𒅌of the attack.
Theseꦚ changes set the stage for what comes next, with Peter Parker receiving a strange chrome sphere which plays him an Obi-Wan Kenobi style message from Tony Stark, who tells Peter that he has been framed for the attack, and that the orb is from five days in the future.
Stark's message informs Peter that he would have been one of the world's greatest heroes if not for the interference of the Maker. But if Peter wants the power he could have had, and a chance at the heroic life he could have led, all he has to do is open the sphere, which contains the spider that will give him his powers as well as a "biotech stealth suit" that will help him hide his secret iden🐎tity as Spider-Man.

Fatefully, Peter stands atop his roof and opens the sphere, declaring 𒆙to himself that he does want the life that was taken from him. He frees the spider, alಌlowing it to bite his hand, and we next see the silhouette of Spider-Man as Peter has presumably donned the new suit.
The story continues in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Ultimate Spider-Man #2 on February 21.
