History Fanfic / SpiderX

* RoguesGalleryTransplant: Several characters who were uniquely foes of Spider-Man in the comics, such as Electro, Venom and the Green Goblin, now end up facing the X-Men (although a few foes such as Rhino, Shocker and Mysterio are still focused on the wall-crawler).

* EnemyMine: A minor example; Shriek hates Mystique's other children as potential competition, and thus has issues with those close to them such as Amanda and Peter, but after Peter [[spoiler:saves Mystique from Electro when the former Brotherhood member decides to leave the team]], she decides to let him go.
* EroticDream: Peter has a minor one about Rogue while he's visiting old friends in New York; they're out web-swinging, pause on top of a building, and Peter is woken up as dream-Rogue is about to take her top off.

** Although Harry discovers explicit evidence that his father was involved in [[spoiler:the attack on the Xavier Institute and the subsequent abduction of Xavier, Jean, Peter and Tabitha]], he claims that the work was actually carried out by a mole in the company to protect his father.

** Another example is more like 'even {{Jerkass}} has standards'; when Eddie Brock presents Jameson with photos of a robbery where he saw Spider-Man try to stop Shocker and Rhino stealing a truck, he initially only sells Jameson photos which support the idea that Spider-Man was helping the other two commit the crime and reports the situation as such. When other photos of the theft are sold to a different newspaper to give the true story (having been [[spoiler:stolen by Spider-Man while he's under the influence of the black suit]]), Jameson informs Brock that he might imply Spider-Man was involved in criminal activity, but he would never outright say that Spider-Man was a criminal unless all the evidence pointed in that direction.

* ShoutOut: When Kingpin is musing on threats to his business, he thinks about (but doesn't explicitly name) ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}, Moon Knight, Cloak and Dagger, and the Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles.
* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: After Peter arrives in the manor and starts talking about his old friendship with and feelings for Mary Jane, Kurt jokes that he and Scott have something in common and introduces Peter to Jean. When Harry Osborn and Mary Jane later visit Peter and his new friends, Mary Jane is struck by the thought that she and Jean look superficially similar, although Jean is noticeably taller than Mary Jane (also, despite these similarities, Peter never thinks of Jean as anything more than a friend, with Rogue being the object of his affections instead).

* HeroicSacrifice: A comparatively minor example, but an important one; despite being currently [[spoiler:stuck in an abusive relationship with Max Dillon, when Tabitha learns of Mystique's plans to brainwash Wanda to join the Brotherhood, she immediately resolves to stay with the team long enough to get Wanda to trust her so that she can convince the other girl to join her in defecting to Xavier's]].

* CrossoverShip: In a sense; Peter starts dating Rogue in this series, but although they have met briefly in some of Marvel's major crossover events they have rarely interacted directly one-on-one.

* ItsAllMyFault: In typical Spider-Man fashion, Peter sometimes wonders if he has caused more problems for the others than if he'd just stayed away, considering the other threats the X-Men have faced that were explicitly after him.

* JuniorCounterpart: Olivia 'Spyder' Osnick technically fulfills this role towards Peter, as they both have spider-powers, although Spyder can only climb sheer surfaces and generate electric webbing.
* KeepingTheHandicap: Although Peter's power nullifiers allow Scott to remove his glasses and see normally, [[spoiler:after a particularly intense fight where his nullifier was broken, Scott decides to go back to ushing his glasses on a more regular basis and stop relying on the nullifier, as it's harder to adapt if he loses the nullifier and doesn't have his glasses available]].
* LethalChef: Kitty’s cooking is so bad that Peter’s spider-sense went off when he was about to bite into a cookie she’d baked; May offers to help her, but characters all acknowledge that there’s only so much May can do, given how bad Kitty is.
* LogicalWeakness: In the initial confrontation with the Sentinel prototype, the Sentinel initially ignores Spider-Man as he isn’t a mutant, although it upgrades itself to accommodate him as a target once he does some damage to it.

* MySkullRunnethOver: Rogue experiences this when [[spoiler:her power overloads after absorbing Venom and she starts manifesting the personalities of other people she's touched, as well as shapshifting into them due to her absorbing Mystique's powers jsut before]].

** When Peter [[spoiler:is mutated into the Man-Spider]], Rogue speaks for Peter when she learns that [[spoiler:the cure might take away his powers]], affirming that he would [[spoiler:rather be powerless]] than live in his current state.

* ForWantOfANail: Taryn rejected Scott and Jean after learning that they were mutants in canon, but here she finds out about it before the big reveal and listens to Jean's explanation about the disadvantages of her powers.

* HeroesWantRedheads: After Peter arrives in the manor and starts talking about his old friendship with and feelings for Mary Jane, Kurt jokes that he and Scott have something in common and introduces Peter to Jean.

** Kitty is quick to support the idea of Peter and Rogue as a couple, and Spyder joins her in her efforts to encourage them to get together.

* SpannerInTheWorks: Peter’s presence throws off both Mystique’s immediate plan to spend time with Rogue as Risty and her and Magneto's more long-term plan to have her infiltrate the manor and pose as Xavier, as his spider-sense makes him aware of her even when she isn’t explicitly doing anything dangerous (although Mystique doesn't actually know how he sensed her).

** Norman Osborn clearly doesn’t remember that he is the Green Goblin at this point, to the extent of wondering who stole the equipment used by the Goblin, but he is still pursuing his own criminal agenda as himself.

* TookALevelInJerkass: Duncan Matthews was just a jerk in the show, but here he explicitly tells Peter at one point that he’s only with Jean for the possibility of having sex with her, and when he learns about mutants while witnessing the fight against the Sentinel he starts wondering if he could have ‘caught’ something from them as though it’s a disease.

* RoleSwapAU: A minor example; in the comics Rogue becomes involved with Gambit while the Black Cat has a relationship with Spider-Man, but here Peter and Rogue form a serious relationship and Black Cat and Gambit hit it off instead, although Cat in particular expresses a private interest in having Spider-Man and Gambit rather than just one.

* IndirectKiss: Due to her powers, Rogue's first kiss with Peter is when she kisses him while he's wearing his mask.

The ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1898532/1/SpiderX Spider-X]]'' series by Creator/{{Agent-G}} is essentially a crossover between the ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'' series and ''Franchise/SpiderMan''. Starting when Cyclops and Rogue are rescued from a mugging by Spider-Man during their time in New York, they go on to offer him a place at the Institute, where he forms particular friendships with Kurt and Kitty while falling in love with Rogue. Whether as a direct result of Peter’s presence or just interesting coincidences, several of Spider-Man’s villains and potential allies thus become involved in the events of ''Evolution'', introducing new friends for the X-Men while also forcing them to face new problems.

* SplitPersonality: Norman Osborn clearly doesn’t remember that he is the Green Goblin at this point, to the extent of wondering who stole the equipment used by the Goblin, but he is still pursuing his own criminal agenda as himself.

* ElementalShapeshifter: Features for Sandman and Hydro-Man after they join Magneto’s Acolytes and the Brotherhood respectively

There is also a short "interlude", "[[https://xmen.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600090986 Spider-X: Deleted Scenes]]", on AFF.net, which depicts Scott and Jean's first sexual encounter after [[spoiler:the captive members are rescued from Oscorp]] in "Return", followed by Peter and Rogue's first time together.

* AbsoluteCleavage: Black Cat, as always.

The ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1898532/1/SpiderX Spider-X]]'' series by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/522267/Agent-G Agent-G]] is essentially a crossover between the ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'' series and ''Franchise/SpiderMan''. Starting when Cyclops and Rogue are rescued from a mugging by Spider-Man during their time in New York, they go on to offer him a place at the Institute, where he forms particular friendships with Kurt and Kitty while falling in love with Rogue.

* BodyHorror: Referenced when Curt Conners transforms into the Lizard and to a greater extent [[spoiler:when Peter mutates into the Man-Spider]].

* BroughtDownToNormal: The only way [[spoiler:to save Peter from his transformation into the Man-Spider is a variation of the serum used to cure Conners of his transformation into the Lizard, which initially seemingly removed Peter’s powers]].

** Peter only learns the day after he did it that he assisted the police in capturing a major serial killer, arguing that he didn’t mention it at first because it didn’t seem like a big deal at the time.

* CareerEndingInjury: Referenced for Doctor Conners and (in a sense) Hank [=McCoy=]/Beast; Conners was forced to leave his old research job at Oscorp because of the accident that cost him his arm, and [=McCoy=] left his old teaching job because his mutation accelerated to the point where he transformed into his blue state.

* GeniusCripple: Doctor Conners, naturally; despite his lost arm and tarnished reputation, he swiftly forms a close friendship with Hank [=McCoy=], and assists Hank in [[spoiler:devising a cure when Peter mutates into the Man-Spider]].

* MuggleBestFriend: Amanda forms a romantic version of this with Kurt, but Scott and Jean’s friends Paul and Taryn are also elevated to this after they decide to tell them the truth about mutants, the Conners family all form this kind of relationship with the team (Curt forms a bond as a fellow scientist with Hank [=McCoy=], his wife Martha gets along well with Ororo, and his son Billy hits it off with Jamie and Spyder), and Mary Jane and Harry Osborn still consider Peter a friend even after learning that he didn't tell them about his powers (although Harry [[spoiler:is lying about his father's role in the abduction of some of the team]]).

* OneSteveLimit: Referenced when Doctor Conners’ wife calls for her husband while he’s talking to the students by the pool, causing both him and Nightcrawler to respond before they confirm who she’s talking to.

* ProfessorGuineaPig: [=McCoy=] and Conners both regret their decision to do this to themselves, particularly since, unlike with Conners’, there is no way for Beast to reverse what he did to himself.

** Curt Conners has retained a peripheral role as one of the few normal humans aware of the X-Men’s secrets even before mutants went public, but there is no indication that he will transform back into the Lizard.

* SecretTestOfCharacter: While [[spoiler:powerless after being ‘cured’ of the Man-Spider transformation]], Peter is briefly visited by [[spoiler:Madam Web]], and it is implied that [[spoiler:she arranges for him to regain his powers when he chooses to save Mystique when the two of them are trapped in a collapsed warehouse when it would be easier for Peter to just leave her and focus on trying to get out by himself]].

* ShippingTorpedo: While Peter had a secret crush on Mary Jane back in New York, he never got the nerve to tell her how he felt before he was invited to join the Institute, and by the time they meet again in person, although MJ reflects that her feelings for him were starting to change when he left New York, Peter is now explicitly dating Rogue.

* TemptingFate: After the first few times Spider-Man muses that it's a quiet night while he's on patrol and then something big happens, he starts telling himself not to even ''think'' it in case something happens, and later reaches the point where he wonders if he could 'trick' fate by expressing a wish for something to happen during a boring patrol while not wanting anything ''too'' serious.

* TragicMonster: Used for Curt Conners as the Lizard and [[spoiler:Peter when he mutates into the Man-Spider]], the X-Men swiftly recognising that they're dealing with a victim rather than a deliberate villain.

* TheUnmasquedWorld: Spider-Man is initially "just" an urban legend to everyone but the people he saves until circumstances force Peter to don the suit in broad daylight to save a little girl from a burning building when there's no more subtle way to get her to safety. Later, [[InSpiteOfANail as in canon]], the existence of mutants goes public when they are confronted by the first Sentinel.

* JerkassRealization: A minor example; Scott reflects that he probably pushed Lance too hard during his previous attempt to join the students at Xavier’s [[spoiler:when Lance and Tabitha return to Xavier's to get Wanda away from the Brotherhood's plans to brainwash her]].
