Its also about his neighborhood, the Amazing Spidey friends who live around him.

But thats the fun of the Wizard.
Most comic book fans, however, might be a bit confused.
Asha and Jeanne Foucault, Peter and Chos colleagues in Wittmans Oscorp lab, both come from the comics.
Thats because hes named in the credits and subtitles, and because he has a totally different look.
