Marvel's Spider-Man Adventures is a stop-motion animation series created by Max Carroll. Set in the continuity of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the series serves as an interquel to the MCU Spider-Man films, usually taking place in-between said films, and helping to set the stage for following ones. This series ignores the deal between Sony and Marvel, including characters from the non-MCU Spider-Man spin-off movies to appear in the series as well. The series is heavily inspired by the Spectacular Spider-Man animated series and the original run of Ultimate Spider-Man.

- 2. Allegations: After learning of the operations against Wilson Fisk by Hammerhead, Spider-Man consults with Tony Stark, who is currently visiting New York City, on the matter. After Stark recommends that Peter take it up with the "people who can handle this thing", Spider-Man accidentally stumbles upon another one of Hammerheads operations while on his way to the Atlas Investigations private firm, this one being headed by his personal enforcer known as Lonnie Lincoln, aka "Tombstone".

Explanation: After being seriously hurt by Tombstone and left badly beaten, Spider-Man is found by fellow New York-based vigilante Matt Murdock, aka Daredevil, who takes him back to his apartment to heal. Reawakening inside of Daredevil's apartment, Spider-Man explains to his fellow vigilante his reasons for being in Hell's Kitchen to begin with. After hearing the young hero's reasons, Daredevil offers assistance in fighting Hammerhead, as to keep the Kingpin title out of someone else's hands.

Trivia[]
- Each season is set after a certain film, and before the next one (EX: Season 1 is set only a few weeks after the events of Spider-Man: Homecoming).
- The series is loosely modeled after The Spectacular Spider-Man animated series.
- The idea to incorporate Hammer Industries into Season 1's fold was inspired by the fact that Peter Parker's official first appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe was in Iron Man 2, wherein Parker is a little boy whom Iron Man saves from one of Justin Hammer's drones.
- It's also a nod to Ultimate Spider-Man, due to the fact that the villains Sandman, Doctor Octopus, and Electro were all spawned out of Hammer Industries.
