## Synopsis

Marvel's Ultimate Spider-Man (2012-2017) is an American animated superhero series created for Disney XD. Drake Bell voices Peter Parker, a high school student who doubles as Spider-Man while training under S.H.I.E.L.D. with Phil Coulson, voiced by Clark Gregg. J.K. Simmons voices the newspaper editor J. Jonah Jameson, who keeps pressing his wild accusations against the web-slinger. Peter's aim is to balance schoolwork, his family life with Aunt May, voiced by Misty Lee, and his growing role as a hero, while villains and rival crises get in the way. Each episode is a self-contained action adventure built around battles across New York City, with comic banter and gadget-driven fights. Across four seasons and 103 episodes, the show builds a larger story as a new team of teen colleagues gathers around Spider-Man. The tone is bright, playful and fast, with a warm, comic-book energy. Fans of Teen Titans, Young Justice and Avengers Assemble will find a similar mix of youthful heroics and team camaraderie.
