Michael Bendis also worked as a producer on the series. The Spectacular Spider-Man animated series took many elements from the Ultimate comics, such as Peter Parker, Gwen Stacy, Harry Osborn, and Mary Jane Watson remaining as teenagers in high school during the majority of the series, the introduction of Kenny McFarlane into animated medium, Eddie Brock's personal relationship with Peter while working as a lab assistant for Dr. Curt Connors at Empire State University, Rhino's real name being Alex O'Hirn, Dr. Octavius working as an Oscorp scientist until his electromagnetic accident, both Spider-Man and later Eddie bonding with the Symbiote being kept in a secured lab, Venom's body being more monstrous in both size and shape, and Kraven the Hunter altering his own DNA to transform into a beast-like monster. An unrelated animated series of the same name aired in the United States on Disney XD from April 2012 to January 2017. The four-part episode "The Spider-Verse" also featured a variation of the show's Ultimate universe, which confirmed that Ultimate Peter Parker had died fighting an unspecified threat while his mantle was long since taken up by a guilt-ridden Miles Morales. This series' Peter Parker is modeled after his appearance in the comics. Also, in this series, Harry Osborn is the host for Venom instead of Eddie Brock and takes the form of Spider-Man's black suit, as Spider-Man's suit does not bond with the symbiote. In the 2017 Spider-Man series, there was also a season one episode with the same name. Many Alternate Series have risen like Justin Marasigan’s Spider-Boy Short Series that he made at Fordham Prep for his digital videography class. Film Live-action Sam Raimi's 2002 Spider-Man film uses many elements from the Ultimate comics, such as Peter Parker going to high school with Harry Osborn and Mary Jane Watson (who much like her Ultimate counterpart remains indecisive about dating Harry at first and lives with her abusive father and depressed mother), Peter being bitten by a genetically-altered spider during a school field trip, Norman Osborn working on developing a serum to create super soldiers and later injecting himself with the same serum to become Green Goblin (albeit only as an alternate personality and not a complete transformation), Flash Thompson fighting Peter for humiliating him at school, Peter letting a burglar escape after a bad experience from participating in a wrestling exhibit using his powers, and Green Goblin
