Resemblance to Batman Beyond
This re-imagining of Spider-Man: The Animated Series bears a striking resemblance to the then-popular Batman Beyond. Similarities include:
- Peter Parker is given a much more modern and teenage appearance despite having graduated college in the previous series.
- In addition to his powers Spider-man also possesses a suit composed of state-of-the-art technology, including "spider-stingers", invisibility, and a built-in sonic weapon.
- Spider-Man is transported to a world that is much more advanced technologically than his home of Earth but is also a police state patrolled by heavily-armed law enforcement meant to challenge the dangers posed by loose cannons in society.
- The appearance of Spider-Man was inspired by (although sharing very little in common with) the Spider-Man 2099 series, which was a limited series by Marvel that featured a future Spider-Man.
