* ArchEnemy: It wouldn't be a superhero story without the heroes developing foes who were a cut above the others.
** Dr. Octopus isn't nearly as prolific as some of the larger criminal gangs fought by the Web Warriors on a daily basis. However, his intelligent patience also meant that when he does step out, what he does is effective and highly dangerous for Spider-Man. He works in the shadows to get final advantages, and by the time of his "[[spoiler: Death]]" has effected the lives of 3 out of the 4 spiders in major ways with death, threats, and global domination.
** Ghost Spider's Arch Enemy is [[spoiler: Mr. Negative, who killed her father]]. Just hearing that he's escaped is enough to send Gwen on the warpath against him. And has her very seriously considering outright killing him in revenge.

* BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil: Even after turning himself in, Sandman was tortured with acid in prison. So that by the time he escaped, he was filled with nothing but vengeance for his pain.

* TragicMonster: Kurt Conners was nothing but a good man and scientist. But after experimenting with a lizard serum, he now has a monstrous lizard inside him which he can damp down, but never quite control.
* TragicVillain: Martin Li has a characterization that balances between his video game and comic appearances, where he was a victim of an experiment with light & dark energy by a MadScientist. It gave him a EvilSuperpoweredSide who became the great crime boss of Hong Kong, but Li himself hates his negative side and wants to be free of it, despite being unable to truly control it.
** Aaron Davis made a bad choice to steal, and got a few years in prison. To survive, he made a deal with Kingpin to make it through his imprisonment. But because of this mob debt, despite wanting to put his past behind him, he was dragged back into the life to act as a supervillain on behalf of greater masterminds.

* {{Foil}}
** Cloak & Dagger makes for a contrast with where Spider-Man and Ghost Spider were in their careers at that time. The spider people have identical powers, while Cloak & Dagger have contrasting Darkness and Light powers. Peter & Gwen are more ordinary high schoolers, while Ty and Tandy are runaways who got mixed up in a bad situation. But on an inverted note, while Ty and Tandy trust each other and work together pretty smoothly, Peter & Gwen have to learn to trust and believe in working together after revealing their identities lead to friction on how capable the other is.

* EvilPowerVacuum: Very present, but played with. At the start of the story, there's plenty of criminals already established around the world. But in Peter's world, the big 4 to worry about were Lonnie Lincoln, Leland Owlsley, Silvermane and Kingpin. After Spider-Man puts all these criminals out of commission, They either diminish in importance or have their regular positions taken over by other crime bosses. In fact, there's a case where this happened twice in a row. As the china triads lost leadership from The Hand, only for first The White Dragon and then Mr. Negative to take over their remnants to continue exploiting others.

Added DiffLines:

* HeroOfAnotherStory: Technically applies to all heroes who aren't Web Warriors, as we don't get to see their heroic adventures for the most part. For example...
** Tony spends some of his free time fighting The Mandarin.
** Steve and T'Challa went after Klaw after Ultron attacked, and Cap got his shield broken by the sound. Meaning he needed to use the light shield for a bit.
** Carol spent some time in outer space, and befriended Franchise/TheGuardiansOfTheGalaxy.


Added DiffLines:

** [[spoiler: Otto Octavius]] gives up certainty at life to ensure Peter can return and save everyone from Arnim Zola.
