## Trivia

* In Amazing Friends, it's revealed that the Avengers have an internship program for young heroes. Iron Heart and The Totally Awesome Hulk are part of the internship while Spy-D has applied for it.
	+ Spider-Man was disappointed that he has never heard of the internship, but Not Tony (Iron Heart's AI program) says he doesn't need to intern with the Avengers because he's already a professional hero.
* These are the same Avengers from the adjacent series *Avengers Assemble*.
	+ *Avengers Assemble* was originally part of the universe of *Ultimate Spider-Man*, however, it was revised to be a part of this series universe with it's fifth season *Avengers: Black Panther's Quest*.
		- Certain events from the previous seasons of Assemble are referenced in Black Panther's Quest, meaning that the previous ones still may have happened, but differently.
	+ This version of The Avengers had made various guest appearances in *Guardians of the Galaxy*.
		- In Guardians, it was stated that The Avengers did not know who Thanos is.
		- The Road to Maximum Venom revealed that the entirety of *Guardians of the Galaxy* takes place in the universe of *Marvel's Spider-Man.*
	+ A fan theory is that the Battleworld story arc of *Avengers: Secret Wars* is what removed *Ultimate Spider-Man* from the continuity of *Avengers Assemble* and *Guardians of the Galaxy* and replaced it with *Marvel's Spider-Man*. The only evidence to support this theory is the symbiotes in Battleworld being aliens, and that the 2015 version of Secret Wars in the comics did similar changes to Marvel Comics continuity.
	+ Many fans speculate that Spider-Man was planned to have made an appearance during Secret Wars due to the Symbiotes being featured in an episode, and worlds called *Lost to the Symbiotes* and *Spider-Island 2099* being featured on the Battleworld map.
	+ Spider-Man, the Venom Symbiote, Kraven the Hunter, and Vulture are the only characters from *Marvel's Spider-Man* to have appeared on *Avengers Assemble*. Kraven being the only one with a slightly altered character design.
* Captain Marvel was the only Avenger Spider-Man has met not to be captured by Regent.
* The Avengers have a contact list of the many heroes in New York City.
* Black Widow, Ms. Marvel, and Hulk (Bruce Banner) are the only Avengers Spider-Man has met in the series to have not appeared or be seen Venomized during the events of Vengeance of Venom.
	+ Ironically, Bruce Banner's Hulk is the one featured in Maximum Venom merchandise instead of Amadeus Cho. The most likely explanation for this is Bruce Banner's Hulk being more well known that Amadeus Cho.
* Tony offered Spider-Man a spot on the Avengers in Maximum Venom, but Spider-Man turned him down because he wasn't ready to leave his friends and family behind. Instead, he proposed that that Tony allow him and his friends to form the W.E.B (Worldwide Engineering Brigade).
