Ultimate Marvel was aimed towards millennials; it is a generation of comics made in 2000 to 2015 to represent updated versions of the superheroes that were previously different. You will realize that when you read how many of the plots actually were compared to how they are now when you continue your endeavors. What you have under this imprint of comics are: "Ultimate" in the name, such as "Ultimate Spiderman," "The Ultimates," and "Ultimate X-Men," and etc. The characters that exist in these comics are ones that don't necessarily exist in the regular Earth-616 Marvel Universe, which is the default universe most comics are in.

Spiderman was one of the first characters that was not a sidekick, however simply a high school teenager fighting crime on his own. Spiderman, in a sense, started the non-sidekick superhero fad. And for that, we do thank him.
