## Trivia

* The show takes place in a universe based on *Marvel's Spider-Man*, *Avengers Assemble* and *Guardians of the Galaxy* as seen by the design of Peter Parker and Spider-Man in the beginning and end of each episode.
	+ Spider-Man's design during the main segments is similar to his *Ultimate Spider-Man* TV series counterpart, as, much like that series, his arms have no web pattern going down to his gloves.
	+ The comic books feature more characters from the Marvel Comics universe, and while being kid-friendly and having a light-hearted tone, it is more of an all-ages book than specifically for pre-school age children demographic.
	+ The appearance of Mr. Fantastic and Invisible Woman in the series would be the first appearance of the Fantastic Four in animation since *Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H.*
* Before the animated series premiered, the children's books and toyline featured an art style similar to that of the previous Spider-Man series *Ultimate Spider-Man.*
* Due to the show being produced in Canada, all of the actors from *Marvel's Spider-Man*, *Avengers Assemble*, and *Guardians of the Galaxy* did not reprise their roles due to different laws between American and Canadian acting unions.
	+ Trevor Devall reprises his role as Rocket Raccoon due to having Canadian citizenship.
* Gwen originally went by the name Spider-Gwen in most media for the show until Marvel Rising premiered and her name was changed to Ghost-Spider.
* Episode 27 of the series "Bend Don't Break" is similar to the comic strip featured in Panini's Spider-Man Magazine: Rhino's Rampage as both involve Spider-Man and Ghost-Spider (Spider-Gwen) stopping Rhino.
* In this series, Spider-Man, Miles Morales, Spider-Girl, and Ghost-Spider are voiced by Cole Howard, Zac Siewert, Gigi Saul Guerrero, and Emily Tennant respectively.
* Spider-Man's age in the Marvel Super Hero Adventures comic book varies between the stories and writers. Sometimes he is a teenager like in the animated series and sometimes he is an adult with the stories as an adult taking place as part of a flashback.
* Like the *Ultimate Spider-Man* TV series, Spider-Man breaks the fourth-wall and talks to the audience directly while explaining his stories.
