* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Silvermane wanted more than anything to not be a baby anymore. By the end of the episode, he's restored to his age before he used the Tablet of Time.



* DragonWithAnAgenda: Smythe couldn't care less about Silvermane's desire to take over the city's criminal underworld. He just wants the resources to resuscitate his father and build him a new bio-engineered body.
* DramaticIrony:
** Smythe seeks to reverse-engineer Neogenics, and he needs either Scorpion or Vulture to fill in the gaps because they're the only experiments he knows of. He's completely unaware that Spider-Man (the guy he's blackmailing) got his powers from Neogenics and that the much easier to find Curt Connors is the Lizard.
** Smythe observes that Scorpion is practically a road map to all Neogenic work. Fitting since Scorpion was the work of Farley Stillwell, who knew even more about the stuff than even Curt.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Scorpion is unapologetic when fighting with Spider-Man and others, but he's devoted to Sarah and rushes her out of the lab before it explodes.



* {{Foreshadowing}}: Silvermane's operation seeks to reverse-engineer Neogenics for their own benefit. The next episode reveals that Kingpin and Landon have similar ideas and have targered another notable Neogenic subject, Morbius.



* IJustWantToBeNormal: As ever, Scorpion wants to be restored to Mac Gargan.
* IWarnedYou: Scorpion told Spider-Man to go away. In the face of repeated resistance, Scorpy dangles him off a roof's ledge and says he warned him to back off.



* PragmaticVillainy: Scorpion fully admits that he saved Vulture's life because a scientist (particularly one familiar with Neogenics) is the only way he'll ever be returned to normal.
* RetiredMonster: Scorpion insists he's trying to go straight out of devotion to Sarah and has been lying low in her apartment, but it doesn't take much for him to fall back into crime.
-->'''Spider-Man:''' Looks like retirement didn't mellow you any.



* VirtueIsWeakness: According to Silvermane, Spider-Man's weakness is that he cares too much for others.
