Spider-Girl/Characters

Spider-Girl and Family

May Parker/Spider-Girl

• Amazonian Beauty: Started out on the slender side, but was continually beefed up ^{[dead link]} as the series progressed. Of course this makes sense considering the amount of exercise she'd get fighting supervillains and bounding across New York.
• Ascended Fangirl: Fangirled the Fantastic Five (especially Franklin Richards) and the Avengers even before becoming a superhero.
• Big Woman on Campus: May, like her mother, is rather popular. Until her life as Spider-Girl starts messing things up.
• Blue Eyes: To emphasize her naivety and as a nod to that other infamous May
• Brainy Brunette: Not quite as much of a nerd as her dad, but she's got the Parker smarts.
• Cloning Blues: Angsts about the possibility a few times, but not nearly as much as April
• Costume Copycat: It used to be her Uncle Ben's.
• Dead Girl Junior
• Defeat Means Friendship: May has a habit of reforming her enemies... painfully, if she has to.
  • Normie gleefully hangs a lampshade on this at one point.
• Determinator
• Everyone Loves Blondes: Four of May's love interests (Brad, J.J., Franklin and Gene) are blondes. Two are evil.
• Expository Hairstyle Change: Changing her short Tomboy look for longer locks in Amazing Spider-Girl. Notably the haircut that stuck.
• Expy: Played with but ultimately averted. May has similarities to Peter, MJ and even Ben (Peter lampshades that one) but is her own character. Word of God is that this was deliberate.
• First Kiss/Smooch of Victory: With Brad after Courtney wakes up from her coma. It helped her realize she wasn't really into him anymore, fortunately.
• Foe Yay: With Normie and Black Tarantula. The latter wants to her to bear his heirs, the former... let's just say the Venom/Spider-Girl was dripping with UST.
• Forceful Kiss: To Normie. It didn't work out.
• Genre Savvy: Aware of most Comic Book Tropes, due to having grown up in a world with superheroes. Especially Let's You and Him Fight, which she hates falling for.
• Hollywood Nerd: Looks like a Brainy Brunette version of Mary Jane, knows a few things about science, and openly fangirls superheroes.
• Important Haircut: Averted. May kept changing her hairstyle every 10 or so issues just because. Until she finally settled on a look in Amazing Spider-Girl
• I Just Want to Be Normal: Genuinely enjoys being a hero and Jumped At the Call, but increasingly gets frustrated and fed up with all the stress of a superheroine's life.
• Jumped At the Call
• Legacy Character
• Mama Bear: Don't threaten or hurt her family. (She must have picked it up from MJ.)
• Mental World: After some whining, she convinces her Spirit Mentor to change the decor... into a shopping mall.
• Most Common Superpower: Averted. Hard.
  • She's also not fond of Stripperiffic costumes. Mostly because her Dad would never let her wear one.
• Oblivious to Love: Finally returns Wes's affections in The End
  • She also had this with Black Tarantula. She couldn't figure out why he was helping her... even after he got her a strike team, training, a new costume, and flowers.
• Plucky Girl
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Blue to April's Red, despite what the costumes might have you believe.
• Save This Person Save the World: In The End.
• Sibling Yin-Yang: With April and Darkdevil, depending on how you define "sibling"
• Sleep Cute: Gets a platonic version with Peter.
• Stepford Smiler: At times, when things get really bad.
• Tomboy
• Tomboy and Girly Girl: The Tomboy to her mother.
• Tragic Keepsake: Her costume used to belong to Ben Reilly.
• Unlucky Childhood Friend: To Normie
• Uncanny Family Resemblance: Played straight at first, as she was drawn as a female Peter, but averted as the art evolved. Now she resembles both her parents equally.
• Unwanted Harem
• "Well Done, Daughter Girl"

• Reasonable Authority Figure: Compared to Peter. Most of the time.

• Demonic Possession
• Back-to-Back Badasses

• Ensemble Darkhorse
• Emergency Transformation/Mental Fusion: With Daredevil to prevent his becoming completely taken over by Zarathos.
• Deadpan Snarker
• Fiery Redhead

  • Subverted when you compare his childhood to Peter's. See Freudian Excuse.

• Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: For the fans who saw 616!Anya as something of rival.
• The Obi-Wannabe: Because of her May's clashing morals.
• The Scrappy: A meta example, as some fans blame 616!Anya for the cancellation.
• Shoot the Dog: Not above killing bad guys like Fabian's father.

Fabian La Muerte/Black Tarantula

• Affably Evil
• Arch Enemy: He and Araña are this to each other. Among other things.

• You Killed My Father You Killed My Son: Blames Spider-Girl for Crazy Eight's death.

Carnage ( Moose Mansfield & Benjy Parker)

• Body Horror: For Moose. And who knows how it affected Benjy...

Crazy Eight

• Affably Evil: He's funny, calls his mother and looks out for his little brother. When they're not trying to kill each other. He even compliments a rookie Spider-Girl on her fighting skills!
• Alas, Poor Villain.
• Always Someone Better: Funny Face saw him as this.
• Big Brother Mentor: To Funny Face. Sometimes.
• Cain and Abel: Him and Funny most of the time.
• Call Forward: See below. Doubles as a Funny Aneurysm Moment.
• Clothes Make the Legend: Seems to think so, since he refuses to wear normal clothes to his trial for the sake of his reputation. Played heartbreakingly straight after his death when we finally see him without the makeup... as he's being buried in a nondescript suit.
• Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: Scolds Crazy Eight for not calling their mother more often.
• Foil: In retrospect, it's funny he and fellow Aloof Big Brother big brother Darkdevil were introduced in the same issue.

• Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: Yes, even when they're not worth it.
• Foil: To May at times.
• Jerkass Woobie: Okay, yes, he's a crazy Monster Clown. But it's hard not to feel bad for him when his brother gets gunned down in a gang war.
• Monster Clown
• Never My Fault: His brother's death might not have happened if he hadn't exacerbated tensions between the Kingpin and Canis out of sibling rivalry. Naturally, he blames Spider-Girl for it instead.
• Psychopathic Manchild: Big time.
• Shadow Archetype: Lampshades the similarity between May and Gerry's bickering to his and Crazy Eight's. They're also similar to the other team of bickering Spider-Kids, Spider-Girl and Darkdevil.

Mr. Nobody

One of Wilson Fisk's remaining minions. Uses his teleportation to get orders from and make delivieries to the kingpin without pesky prision security.

• Guns Are Worthless: Lacking any offenseive powers, Mr. Nobody's favorite method of attack is guns. Naturally he never anybody.
  • While probably not the intent (all his mistakes are stables of fiction), his abyssal accuracy may be justified as he clearly doesn't know how to use the guns he has acquired, or understand them.
• Intangible Man: After an upgrade.
• Teleportation

Norman Osborn

Tony Davis

Brenda's abusive boyfriend in her first appearance and the one who made her flight harness from her dad's only one. Makes a few future appearances to give bad guys gadgets.
