Speaking to Animation Magazine, story artist Rick Hoberg explained where the decision to create this team-up series came from. However, the latter was only conceptualized because there were issues around using the Human Torch from the Fantastic Four, who oddly enough does have a closer relationship to Spidey in the comics than these other two. It is a bit of a head-scratcher since Iceman is more known for his affiliation with the X-Men, while Firestar is a newly created character for the show.

Rather than leave Peter Parker on his own, the series pairs him with two unexpected allies: Iceman and Firestar. In 1981, 'Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends' decided to change this dynamic. 'Science is his passion, it's his entry point for everything, from talking to his friends, to dealing with a homework problem, or dealing with a supervillain science is his go-to.' The show aired for three seasons from 2017 to 2020. 'It's my entry point for this series because it's about Spider-Man, but Spider-Man is Peter Parker, and it's his heart and his mind that we really associate with,' Shinick told Collider. The reason for this approach is he wanted to focus the show on Peter's love for science and how it shapes his life. He includes Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy as heroes and friends alongside the 16-year-old Peter who has just gained his powers while setting the backdrop of the story at Horizon High. For the new series, however, he didn't pull from simply one version of the character's history. Shinick had been no stranger to the character, having written and directed the 2002 'Spider-Man Live!' theater production. In 2017, 'Robot Chicken' writer and creative Kevin Shinick tackled 'Spider-Man' as a showrunner.
