The idea I had behind it was to introduce Bobby Drake and Angelica Jones as classmates of Peter Parker in the first season. In Season 3, their mutant powers manifest and they are disowned by their bigoted parents (like in Ultimate Spider-Man.). Aunt May takes them in and they soon discover Peter's secret identity while he's changing out of his Spider-Man costume. They then confide in Peter their powers and they become the Spider-Friends.

In Season 4, the Spider-Friends get into a fight with Magneto, which then leads into a team up with the X-Men. The Spider-Friends then disband when Iceman and Firestar join the X-Men.
