* EnthrallingSiren: Black Mamba has a rather insidious power. She can hypnotize her opponents and victims, and draw out the images of the people they most love and cherish. She can then form [[CastingAShadow figures of these beings out of Darkforce energy]] and get them to attack and kill her opponents. Fighting back is difficult at best, since the victims are already hypnotized.

* TheStationsOfTheCanon: Subverted with Spider-Man. Many of the stations of Spider-Man's canon are crossed, albeit with a twist. Mary Jane is bitten by a second spider at the same time as Peter Parker; Aunt May is killed in Peter's DeathByOriginStory, while Uncle Ben lives; Spider-Man successfully saves Gwen Stacy's life when the Green Goblin kicks her off the bridge, leading to her remaining Peter's one true love and ensuring that Peter and MJ never get together; the Green Goblin is turned into a paraplegic vegetable rather than being killed when he's impaled by his glider; and stories like the Clone Saga and anything to do with symbiotes will simply never happen.



* StressVomit: Mary Jane does this more than once after particularly traumatic events, notably when she's ForcedToWatch as the Constrictor murders Phil Urich or when Jack O' Lantern gives her a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown after she sees him kill her father.

The paramedics advise Maddie that Mary Jane suffered a really bad shock and needs to avoid any more stressors.

Set in the same universe as ''Ultimate Sleepwalker'', ''Ultimate Spider-Woman'' came about in part because of Jared's attempting to subvert the traditional expectations of Franchise/SpiderMan fans and make [[TheGwenStacy Gwen Stacy]] Peter Parker's one true love. Eventually, he came up with the idea of doing a spider-themed series with Mary Jane as the star. The series ended up going in an entirely new direction, particularly about the nature of identity and how people step into different roles at different times.

* TheDreaded: Jack O' Lantern is one of Mary Jane's only enemies who truly frightens her. From his AxCrazy demeanor to his ObviouslyEvil appearance to his nearly killing her more than once to his being a StalkerWithoutACrush who somehow always knows where she is to his [[VillainTakesAnInterest warped interest in making her his heir]] to his attempting to MindRape her to that end, Jack O' Lantern literally gives Mary Jane nightmares. When she learns he's escaped from jail and is stalking her, she has a full-blown panic attack. Jack also has a similar status among New York's supervillain community, to the point that he can rally them to his vision of [[ToCreateAPlaygroundForEvil creating a playground for evil.]]

* RunTheGauntlet: {{Reconstruction}} when Will O' the Wisp tries doing this with several of Spider-Woman's other enemies to get revenge on her. Jack O' Lantern points out that having all of the villains attack Spider-Woman at once likely wouldn't work any better than attacking her one at a time, since they'd all get in each other's way. Jack further notes that most of Spider-Woman's enemies wouldn't have the inclination or the patience to train together until they could take Spider-Woman on as a team. Jack advises the Wisp to try and determine how to best use the talents of each individual teammate in a more well-thought out plan. Unfortunately for Spider-Woman, the Wisp is taking Jack's advice to heart.
