Needs a few more images.

Volumes 1 & 2

Peter Benjamin Parker/Spider-Man

Bitten by a genetically-enhanced spider and given powers as a result, Peter went on to utilize his new abilities as a show wrestler. After letting a burglar escape in a moment of spite, eventually resulting in the death of his beloved uncle Ben, Peter took a vow to use his powers to protect and defend the innocent as Spider-man.

The Ultimate version of Peter Parker is a still growing young teenager, unlike his current 616 counterpart, facing many of the mainstream version's foes while still in high-school. As a result, he is smaller and weaker than 616-Peter, but stands out in the Marvel Universe for his good (if naive) heart and pure intentions, as well as his utter determination to do the right thing.

Tropes:

  • Adorkable
  • Alliterative Name
  • Always Save the Girl
  • Animal Motifs
  • Anti-Hero: In general Spidey's attitude and difficulties with authority make him come off as a Type I or Type II anti-hero, but when the chips are really down, his selflessness and sheer heroism are quite possibly second to none. He stands out in a world of Darker and Edgier heroes and villains categorically stating that Good Is Dumb as one of the few purely heroic characters, despite his superficially negative qualities.
  • The Atoner
  • Badass Bookworm
  • Berserk Button: Outside of messing with his family, the thing that really ticks Peter off is when you're an authority figure who tries to withhold information from him.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: You DO NOT want to threaten his loved ones. The results will not be good for you.
  • Big Damn Heroes
  • Breakout Character: To explain, Ultimate Spider-Man was originally just suppose to be a Mini-Series; a modern reinterpretation of the Spider-Man Origin. Similar to Spider Girl, sales were so phenominal that Marvel decided to create an entire new universe. For while as well, sales of Ultimate Spider-Man completely eclipsed the sales of Amazing Spider-Man (the actual Flagship Title.)
  • Brilliant but Lazy: Summed up perfectly here.

Teacher: Excuse me, Mr. Parker where are you going?
Peter Parker: Bathroom.
Teacher: You sit down right this--
Peter Parker: Or what? You'll fail me? I could teach this class.

May Parker

This ain't your mom 'n' dad's Aunt May.



Mary Jane Watson/Demogoblin

The ultimate jackpot.


Harry Osborn/The Hobgoblin


Kenny "King Kong" McFarlane


Fred "Flash" Thompson


Liz Allan


Gwen Stacy


Kitty Pryde/Shadowcat/The Shroud


Jessica Drew/Spider-Woman

See [1] for the costumed version.

A female clone of Peter Parker, Jessica Drew was the only clone to survive the Clone Saga, and occasionally teams up with her "big brother". She is apparently dating Johnny Storm, but Johnny himself made that proclamation and nothing has come of it since. After Peter's death, she joined S.H.I.E.L.D, and was tasked with showing Miles Morales the ropes.

Tropes:

Volume 3 *Spoilers Within*

Characters within are principally introduced in the third volume of the series, Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man, Volume 2.

Unmarked spoilers from the first two volumes from here on out.

Miles Morales/Spider-Man II

Miles Morales, Earth-1610. Click [2] to see him with his mask on.

Bitten by another genetically-enhanced spider, 13-year-old Miles was given powers similar to Peter before him, to his dismay. The death of Spider-Man, soon publicly revealed to be the young Peter Parker, shocked Morales out of apathy. Morales convinced himself that acting earlier and revealing himself as an ally to Peter could have spared New York's hero. Finding the will to act, Morales dons a makeshift suit to help fill in the void Spidey left.

Miles Morales is the principal protagonist after Peter Parker's death.

Tropes:

  • Ascended Fanboy: Averted and possibly Inverted. He didn't seem to know much about Spider-Man before he got his powers. Even then, the only things he saw worth mentioning were the parts where Spidey was beaten up and thrown around.
  • And Now for Someone Completely Different
  • Blue Oni: Thematically, to Peter. Where Peter was hot-headed and a bit of a spazz in addition to being courageous and outspoken in his values, Miles is fearful, worrisome, and more terse and to the point when dealing with villains and disaster.
  • Character Tic: He has an amusing habit of using his Venom Strike by poking his foe with two fingers. Particularly when it gets dramatic action shots which make it look like he's about land a grievous blow before switching to a delicate two fingered Venom poke at the last second.
  • Chaste Hero: He's surprised by Ganke's sudden interest in the opposite sex. Miles is only 13, of course, an age where chastity isn't entirely uncommon.
  • Child Prodigy: He's a gifted student, at any rate, but it's the more realistic kind (compared to, say, young Mr. Fantastic)
  • Combat Pragmatist: He's not above stunning someone and then hitting them when they're down. The whole concept of his Venom Strike and invisibility powers lends itself to this, as he frequently begins and end battles by hopping up to enemies and letting loose, and he has no problem sneaking up to enemies and clocking them from behind.
  • Constantly Curious: He gets curious in the middle of pitched battles. Electro trying to fry him didn't even put a damper on it.
  • Conveniently an Orphan: Averted. Unlike Peter, who was set apart by his tragedies, Miles is a little bit more relate-able to the audience because he actually has parents who are still involved in his life. See also Reconstruction below.
  • Cowardly Lion: Miles gets frightened easily and tends to worry or focus on the negative. Nevertheless, when he's needed, he'll jump right into the superheroics, if only to vomit his guts out in terror afterwards.
  • David And Goliath: Playing David, obviously, to Goliath in most his fights: the Kangaroo, Omega Red, and especially The Scorpion.
  • Deadpan Snarker: More deadpan than Peter, but he's not as much of a motor mouth.
  • Dork Knight: Arguably more so than Peter.
  • The Fettered: The mainstream and ultimate versions of Peter Parker have to consciously hold back or risk killing people outright. Miles, however, instinctively holds back, allowing himself to be thrown around by unprepared Badass Normals, for example. This is best seen in an early fight with the Kangaroo, where he takes hits up to and including a car to the face unfazed, and yet could barely damage Kangaroo without his venom strike.
  • Genre Blind: Poor Miles doesn't get how desensitized most New Yorkers are to superheroes.
  • How Do I Shot Web?: He barely knows what he's doing, to start with. When testing his powers, he realizes that he's still very susceptible to vertigo and high altitude winds. As he clings to the outside of one of the top floors of a skyscraper/apartment complex.
  • I Let Peter Parker Die: The main reason why Miles decide to become Spidey is because he feels partly responsible for Peter's death since he wasn't there to help him.
  • Innocent Prodigy
  • Kid Hero: 13 years old--two years younger than Peter when he got his powers--and a lot smaller. When incarcerated by The Ultimates, Nick Fury instinctively holds his hand while escorting him around the premises.
  • Legacy Character: More so than most.
  • Loves My Alter Ego: Inverted. Miles is a bit upset that his dad hates Spider-Man or the new Spider-Man because his dad isn't too trusting of mutants after what happened in Ultimatum. Mom is a fan, however.
  • Motor Mouth: He has a habit of spouting walls of text in between panels, usually indicating less than a second going by.
  • Nerves of Steel: The very first time he does anything in costume, he gets surprised, beaten up, and thrown around by a villain a lot bigger than him. While Miles' is still amateurish regarding heroics, he never once loses his composure. Keeping in mind that Miles almost always avoids confrontation and is in general a timid mess.
    • His reaction to being completely immobilized and surrounded by hostile cops? To sit down, take a load off.
    • Miles is virtually immune to pain, as he consistently takes massive blows before popping right back up to fight again.
  • Not So Stoic: The Prowler is eventually able to incite him to anger, at which time Miles is borderline deranged with fury.
  • Personality Powers: He's withdrawn and timid, complemented by a camouflage ability.
  • Pint-Sized Powerhouse: He's absolutely tiny. Peter was already probably one of the more petite superheroes in the area, and Miles is even smaller than that.
  • Reconstruction: Of The Paragon and Legacy Character. A more thorough one than the Spider-Man series intended to be. Unlike Peter, Miles dons the suit because he feels like it is his fault that Peter, someone he has never met and wasn't ever close to, died while Peter dons the suit because his father figure was killed indirectly because of him. Miles wasn't motivated by dead parents or a tragic past, he was inspired by Peter's example to do something selfless. Miles is an example of how a superhero can do good by becoming a symbol, and not just by punching villains in the face.
  • Refusal of the Call --> You Can't Fight Fate: Miles was adamant about not becoming a superhero after gaining powers. And then Peter died.
  • Superpower Lottery: He has a few more powers than the original, but the classic web-shooters haven't shown up.
  • Unskilled but Strong: Word of God notes that Peter was a much more polished fighter, while Miles is a bit clumsier and awkward. However, his extra powers make ending fights so much easier.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: Half the people who see him think he's the original Spider-man while the more cynical onlookers just think his suit is "in bad taste". Spider-Woman agrees. Vehemently.
    • She eventually starts backing off once she gets to know him however.
  • When All You Have Is a Hammer: His venom strike has so far never failed.
  • White Sheep: His Uncle Aaron is also the Prowler.

Ganke

Miles' best friend. A self-confessed LEGO geek and like Miles, a borderline Child Prodigy.

Tropes:

  • Aerith and Bob: Asian or not, "Ganke" is just a plain weird name.
  • Ascended Fanboy: Averted, as with Miles. Neither of them seem to be more than passingly familiar with Spider-man. However, Ganke gets into it quick enough, and thoroughly researches his history to get some context about Miles' own powers.
  • Asian and Nerdy: Yep.
  • Big Fun: Is much more laid-back than Miles, and seemingly more outgoing. It's implied that he can be a bit of a shut-in, though.
  • Child Prodigy: Possibly more so than Miles, who had to get into his (highly competitive) charter-school on a lottery rather than on merit like Ganke. Miles says at one point that he needs Ganke for his brain.
  • Dare to Be Badass: Ganke was rather enthusiastic when Miles gained his powers and pushed him to be a superhero when Miles didn't want to.
  • Fat Best Friend: Almost exactly a Type A as described on the trope page (gregarious and laid-back).
  • Fun T-Shirt
  • Genre Savvy: Very much so, compared to Miles. Instead of letting Miles learn haphazard while on patrol, he buys some readily available live footage of Peter as Spiderman, to crib off of. He also makes the rather gloomy call that Miles needs to get better than the original fast. If all Peter's experience couldn't keep him alive, what could Miles hope to do?
  • The Smart Guy: Miles goes to Ganke specifically for his brain. With few clues to go on, Ganke does some impressive cross-referencing, unearthing some obscure news articles linking genetically enhanced spiders to Spidey's own origin.

Jefferson Morales, né Davis

Born Jefferson Davis, Mile's father has a shady past that he left behind him before he met Miles' mother, Rio. Although occasionally gruff and outspoken, he is nevertheless a gentle man proud and supportive of his son. Unfortunately, those same feelings are not directed towards Spider-man, or indeed all those other filthy mutants making trouble and getting people hurt.

Tropes:


Rio Morales

Miles' mother, who married Jefferson after he had put his criminal past to rest. Like Jefferson, she is proud of and caring to Miles, always willing to listen to his problems. She is more open-minded than her husband, and finds heroes like that new Spider-Man to be very cool.

Tropes:

Captain Frank Quaid

Police Captain Quaid is a gruff and overbearing officer, but one who is capable and experienced in dealing with superhumans. His motivations are a mystery, but he has so far acted to Spider-Man's benefit.

Tropes:

  • Jerkass/Jerk with a Heart of Gold: It's hard to tell which, since his motivations may be more sinister than they seem, and he has a penchant for playing heroes like fools. He nonetheless thanks Miles for helping out, then, upon deducing that he's a little kid, scares him away rather than being overtly hostile (the rest of the cops, for context, had already drawn on Miles and really wanted to shoot him).
  • Manipulative Bastard: So far as he's been seen, which is what calls into question his seemingly helpful attitude towards Spider-Man.
  • Noble Bigot: He's not all that nice and his use of the term "idiot" towards criminals makes it seem a lot more offensive than it should be.

Rogues Gallery

Norman Osborn/Green Goblin

Father of Peter's best friend Harry, and CEO of OsCorp; Norman Osborn is a corrupt industrialist and scientist who is trying to perfect the Super Soldier drug for S.H.I.E.L.D., an obsession that leads to the neglect of his wife and son. Theorizing that if the OZ serum combined with spider DNA gave Spider-Man the abilities of a spider, then if Norman were to receive OZ combined with his own DNA, he could become a heightened version of himself.

Norman, however, is transformed into a muscular, grotesque, demonic-looking monster, granting him superhuman strength, reflexes, stamina and durability, and enabling him to leap great distances. He also has the ability to throw flaming balls of destructive power.

Tropes:

Dr. Otto Octavius/Doctor Octopus

Dr. Otto Octavius is introduced as a scientist at OsCorp and secretly a corporate spy for Norman Osborn's business rival, Justin Hammer. He is caught in a lab accident (the same one that turns Norman into the Green Goblin), grafting his traditional metal arms onto his body.

After this incident, he is able to communicate with these mechanical arms via telepathy, and Octavius modifies his arms to have the power to morph into different shapes. It is later revealed that rather than being able to just control his mechanical arms, Otto is able to control all metal.

Tropes:

Maxwell Dillon/Electro

A thug given electrical powers in order to combat Spider-Man.

Tropes

R.H.I.N.O/Alex O'Hirn

Shocker/Herman Schultz

A young inventor who turned to crime as a result of not being able to market his inventions.

Tropes

Eddie Brock Jr./Venom

Eddie Brock was Peter's childhood friend, as their fathers were colleagues. After his parents died in the same accident that killed Peter's, Eddie was shuffled around from foster home to foster home. He was reunited with Peter as a college student, and showed Peter a sample of their fathers' life's-work: the Venom Project, a theoretical cure for cancer that doubled as a living costume. That night, Eddie caught a glimpse of Spider-Man in a black costume he recognized as the Venom Suit, and confronted Peter, who confessed to being Spider-Man and warned Eddie that the suit was dangerous, taking the sample and destroying it. Eddie ignored Peter's warning and used a second sample on himself, becoming a horrendous monstrosity that had to consume other living creatures to prevent the suit from devouring him.

Tropes:

Carnage

A protoplasmic life form created by Dr. Curt Connors using a sample of Peter's blood (which contained traces of the Venom Suit) and his own blood (which contained traces of the Lizard Formula), Carnage quickly mutated into a vampiric creature that drained its victims of body fluids in order to compensate for its unstable genetic structure. Spider-Man seemingly killed it, but it returned in the form of its last victim, Gwen Stacey, possessing all of her memories and believing itself to be her. It was absorbed by Venom in the War of the Symbiotes arc, leaving a perfectly healthy Gwen Stacey behind.

Tropes:

Aaron Davis/The Prowler

Miles' uncle, estranged from his father. Aaron was a small time thief with Miles father in his youth. While Miles' father got out of the trade before he met Miles' mother, Aaron never went straight, eventually becoming the high-tech super-criminal known as the Prowler.

Tropes:

  • Badass Abnormal: It's clear that the Prowler is a very skilled fighter, being able take Spider-Man hand-to-hand. He's also very fit and skilled, being able to adapt to and use a wide range of mechanics and devices that require large amounts of athleticism.
  • Badass Longcoat: Which he wears over his skin tight suit, for no real reason as far as can be told.
  • Black Sheep: His brother (Mile's dad) went straight a long time ago and his nephew is Spider-Man.
  • Clothes Make the Superman: His work clothes, which include at least finger lasers. He'll also slip into any powered armor, etc. that's handy.
  • Combat Pragmatist: He uses lasers in a fist fight, and is not above electrocuting and shredding enemies with a mass-razor launcher in order to facilitate an escape.
  • Did Not See That Coming: Turns out Scorpion has impenetrable skin. That whole "revenge stabbing" thing was not a good idea, in hindsight.
  • Evil Mentor: Decides that his nephew needs guidance--so that he'll be ready to take out the Scorpion, who stands in the Prowler's way.
  • Genre Blind
  • Honor Before Reason: For a certain value of "Honor". After the Scorpion's goons got a little too up-close-and-personal with him during their business transaction, he tries to kill the Scorpion in revenge once the Scorpion calls them off, instead of just finishing their business.
  • Hot-Blooded: He makes some stupid decisions as a result. Trying to use a hold-out device as a regular weapon (it's one-use, hence the "hold-out" part), and threatening the Tinkerer when it doesn't work (he had specified that it was a "getaway jacket" and nothing else), and then immediately killing Tinkerer, the guy who makes his equipment because the Tinkerer gave him some generic information regarding Spider-man's origins and Aaron apparently thought it was too sensitive to let him live.
  • Jerkass
  • Morality Pet: He and Miles actually get along very well, Miles hanging out at his place when he needs to get away from his parents. For his part, Aaron makes sure to keep his criminal activities out of sight and is otherwise a doting uncle. That gets thrown out the window early on once he finds out Miles is the new Spiderman, at which point he quickly makes plans to exploit him.
  • Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: While robbing Oscorp, a genetically engineered spider, very similar to the one that bit Peter, snuck out of its holding chamber and into his bag, later biting Miles when he came over to visit and creating the second Spider-Man.
  • Oh Crap: The Scorpion provides an extended one for him, once it becomes more and more apparent just how dangerous he is. Eventually he's just plain terrified of Scorpion.
  • Poisonous Friend: He claims that he's just trying to train Miles out of familial care, but he's manipulative and cruel about it, blackmailing Miles and maintaining that Miles owes him for the powers. It's also clear that Miles is at least in part a tool to get rid of the Scorpion.
  • Stern Teacher: Once he starts trying to get Miles to fulfill his potential. Which he does so by intimidating him and beating him up, though granted Aaron was planning on Miles' powers to make this backfire on himself.
  • Teach Him Anger: He tries to get Miles to stop holding back as Spider-Man this way.
  • Where Does He Get All Those Wonderful Toys?: From the the Tinkerer, of course. Unfortunately, he kills the Tinkerer early on, forcing him pilfer the Tinkerer's stash.

Maximus Gargan/The Scorpion

A Mexican crime lord who followed The Prowler up to New York for revenge for a double-cross. Once there, he decided the city needed a new Kingpin, and set out to consolidate his territory and terrorize The Prowler. Possesses nigh impenetrable skin and wields a fearsome chained flail similar to a scorpion's tail.

Tropes:

  • Awesome McCoolname: Maximus Gargan.
  • Brought to You by The Letter "S": He has the word "Scorpion" tattooed across the front of his neck. Since he's a huge guy with a bull neck, it's really prominent in any frontal shots.
  • The Brute: Although a fairly eloquent and intelligent example. He has the cleverness and ambition to (try to) assemble a criminal empire. However, his anger issues tend to turn anyone who bothers him into paste, though this isn't necessarily a hindrance.
  • Epic Flail: He can demolish entire large rooms filled with equipment and containers in just a couple swings.
  • Implacable Man
  • Inexplicably Awesome: Though an explanation may be forthcoming, the hints given so far about his strength and resilience are incredibly vague, and he is otherwise just another crime lord. Even when in FBI custody sometime in the past, they were unable to confirm whether or not he was superhuman, and rumors of his powers likewise travel in criminal circles without any confirmation. The Scorpion implies that his impenetrable skin has something to do with where he came from.
  • Made of Iron: Can take electrical shocks and blunt force trauma pretty well, in addition to his tough skin, though it's unclear as to whether it's actually Super Toughness or not.
  • Mission from God: Once he sees how pathetic criminals in New York were, he realizes that God could only have sent him to New York to turn things around.
  • Mood Swinger: When he loses his temper, he really loses his temper.
  • Mythology Gag: Mac Gargan --> Maximus Gargan, and of course the scorpion flail.
  • Nigh Invulnerable: Overlaps with Made of Iron. Sufficiently sharp blades or razors can become embedded in his skin, but not pierce completely through. The pain can incapacitate him, though.
  • Race Lift: Once his connection to the mainstream Scorpion was solidified, we have the Scorpion going from caucasian to Mexican.
  • Visionary Villain: Comes to believe that the crime element of New York is both unorganized and weak; he wants to take back control of crime and bring some class to the criminal underworld.
  • You Can't Fight Fate: Probably related to his belief in his Mission from God, he sees fate as the series of challenges life presents you; you either bow before them or fight through them--either way, there's only one possible outcome based on who you are.

Ultimate Spider-Man Animated Series

Peter Parker/Spider-Man

  • Actor Allusion: Drake Bell voices Peter/Spidey, a role he previously parodied.
  • Animal-Themed Superbeing: Spider, as usual.
  • Ascended Fanboy: He's a big fan of Iron Man.
  • Badass Bookworm
  • Butt Monkey
  • Comes Great Responsibility
  • Deadpan Snarker
  • Ditzy Genius: Considering the number of Imagine Spots he have each episode, he falls into this.
  • Fourth Wall Observer
  • Fun Personified
  • The Hero
  • I Shall Taunt You / You Fight Like a Cow: Spidey's preferred tactic. This also ends up being the "weapon" Eitri referred to when Spidey uses it to hit Loki hard in the ego and defeat him in "Field Trip".
  • I Work Alone: This version of Spider-man is almost fanatically averse to being part of a team at the start. It's also clear that he feels threatened by the presence of other heroes in his normal life. Possibly a Mythology Gag to the mainstream version's notoriously bad record with teamwork early in his career.
  • Mr. Imagination
  • Rookie Red Ranger: Toyed with. Spidey is the newest member of S.H.I.E.L.D and lacks the others' discipline, but he's been a hero longer and has first hand experience in how to act when fighting threats. The first few episodes make it clear that he's generally more competent than the rest, but that his laissez-faire attitude is in itself a threat that the rest of the team curbs.
  • Sad Clown: Eitri says the reason he's always making jokes is to protect himself from an unkind world.
  • Street Smart: One of the reasons why Fury integrated him to the team; he felt that unlike the others, Spider-Man had actual experience and as such, was suited to complete the team.
  • The Trickster: Manages to fool Loki, the TRICKSTER GOD, into turning Thor back from a frog.
  • Troll: An In-Universe example. Judging from Spidey's inner thoughts, he's willingly dumbing himself down with his jokes, refusing to correct others when they insult his intelligence. On at least one occasion, he lets things escalate wildly (up to his team invading a foreign country without provocation, preparation, or support), turning down multiple chances to mitigate the damage, seemingly for kicks. Likewise, he's a capable leader, but refuses to act the part in favor of playing the clown.
  • Wall Crawling
  • Wild Card: Agent Coulson calls Spidey this in an attempt to keep Fury from signing Spidey up; Fury says that's he's training Spider-Man to be one of the greats.

Nick Fury

Danny Rand/Iron Fist

Ava Ayala/White Tiger


Luke Cage/Power Man

Sam Alexander/Nova

  • Deadpan Snarker
  • The Lancer: Shares the role with White Tiger.
  • Power Glows: His hands have this when he's in flight mode.
  • The Rival: To Spider-Man. They keep arguing with each other about who should lead the team and clearly don't appreciate each others much.

Harry Osborn/Venom

  • Adaptation Distillation: This Venom symbiote's origin is more like a mix between the Ultimate Version of Carnage and the Marvel Adventures version of himself. In addition, this is the first version of the character where his identity is Harry Osborn instead of Eddie Brock.
  • Anti-Villain: Type II.
  • Combat Tentacles
  • Evil Counterpart: To Spider-Man, as Venom
  • Green-Eyed Monster: Played both the same as usual with him angry that his father seems to pay more attention to someone else, in this case Spider-Man, and differently when he feels neglected because Peter's hanging out with his "detention buddies" not than Harry. The emphasis on the latter in episode 4 helped make him a very sympathetic character.
  • Hulking Out: In "Back In Black".
  • Knight of Cerebus: Very few scenes with Venom are played for humor, with Imagine Spots becoming less frequent as a result.
  • Not Quite Dead: The symbiote is seemingly Killed Off for Real at the end of his debut episode; then it turns out that Osborn wants Dr. Octopus to create more like him, and Harry finds a sample of it that survived.
    • He appears in a later episode with control of Venom as the Black Spiderman. It lasted only a little while before Venom took control and was believed to be destroyed for good by Spidey. Only to show later that some of Venom survived in Harry's ear.
  • Puppeteer Parasite: The symbiote.
  • Spoiled Sweet: Even though he's a rich kid, Harry's one of Peter's best friends. He's actually the nicest version of Harry Osborn in all animated adaptations of Spider-Man.
  • The Symbiote
  • Transformation Trinket: Harry initially uses a watch-like device to call up the black suit whenever he wants, keeping the symbiote contained when not in use. In the end, though, the symbiote still manages to manipulate Harry even with the watch, and he destroys it by the end of his first episode as Venom.
  • "Well Done, Son" Guy: As usual.


Mary Jane Watson

Norman Osborn

  • Big Bad: So far, he appears to be this.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: When interacting with Harry and Peter, he actually acts like a pretty nice guy. Behind closed doors, however...
  • Corrupt Corporate Executive
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: When the Frightful Four attack his son's school, he is genuinely worried.
  • Parental Neglect: Unlike most versions of Osborn, he doesn't appear to have any Abusive Parent traits, but he's still neglecting Harry because of his work.
  • Villain Takes an Interest: For Spider-Man, as usual. Though amplified here, since he actually wants to get Spider-Man in order to create a whole super-soldier program from his DNA.
  • You Have Failed Me...: Once threatened Octavius with this after the Frightful Four failed to get Spider-Man (though it's possible he was merely threatening to fire him rather than kill him). Fortunately for him, Octavius was able to get a sample of Spider-Man's DNA in the next episode and used it to create Venom, a result Norman found satisfying enough to keep Octavius.

Otto Octavius/Dr Octopus

Flash Thompson

  • The Bully
  • Bullying a Dragon: Though to be fair, he is unaware of who Peter is.
  • Dirty Coward: Most versions of Flash are rather hot-headed and brave, but this one, when facing Venom, was so scared that he had no problem with trying to offer Peter as a snack to save himself. Similarly, when Taskmaster trapped him and Harry inside the school, he had no scrupple leaving a trapped Harry behind.
  • Jerk Jock: Even more so than any of his other incarnations, as he still has yet to show any redeeming qualities besides being a Spider-Man fan. He is actually such a jerk that, when Spidey goes through a Good Angel, Bad Angel case, even the Good Angel was in favor of leaving him to die.


Taskmaster

Doctor Doom

Thor

Loki

  • Fatal Flaw: Like his brother Loki is pretty arrogant himself.
  • Irony: Loki mocks Thor about his arrogance, but later Spider Man uses Loki's own ego against him.
  • The Trickster

Eitri
