Personally, I like it. They needed something to differentiate from the other movies. It's also a lot better than making his parents CIA agents like they did in the comics. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_and_Mary_Parker |
I guess they were. Although not in a main book. The spies part is from Untold Tales and as the article mentions they are only ever mentioned in passing since then.
However, that wiki article also mentions the Ultimates versions of the characters and that could be similar to the movie.
