* DeducingTheSecretIdentity: While it's never outright stated, it's heavily implied throughout season two that [[TheCommissionerGordon Captain George Stacy]] has figured out that Peter Parker is Spider-Man, [[SecretSecretKeeper and has known for some time]]. He begins implying to Peter that he knows, and helps Spider-Man a few times during the gang war arc (i.e. taking down Rhino with knockout gas, arresting Tombstone when Spidey said he was the Big Man, offering advice and a listening ear when Spider-Man needed to vent, etc). [[note]] Which makes the [[WesternAnimation/SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse revelation]] that Captain Stacy is eventually KIA in this dimension so much sadder.[[/note]]

--> Chameleon Spider-Man: "How 'bout a taste of Spider-PUNCH!"
--> Spider-Man: "Please tell me I don't sound like that, or at least that I offer a higher-quality quip."

-->'''Spider-Man''': ''[being knocked into a vehicle]'' Ohh! Anyone get the number of that sleigh?
-->'''Sandman''': ''[laughs]'' Ain't he a clever boy! ''[to Rhino]'' See, it's Christmas Eve and he said "sleigh". You know, instead of "truck"?

--> '''Spider-Man:''' "Now what's so funny?"
--> '''Green Goblin:''' "Oh, just the fire and brimstone pumpkin bomb I left behind as a present for our dear Mr. Lincoln. Any minute now the creme de la creme of New York City is going to paint the town red! Well the ballroom anyway...." *evil laugh*

--> '''Kraven''': Now be still. The noblest prey gives up the fight with silent dignity.
--> '''Spider-Man''': 'Prey'? 'Silent'? 'Dignity'? You don't know me at all, do you?

* GuiltTripping: In the episode Final Curtain, [[spoiler:Harry does a subtle version by disguising it as ObliviousGuiltSlinging. He ''knows'' Gwen intends to break up with him, but he pretends otherwise and says it's a good thing she's with him after what happened with his father, or he'd lapse back into addiction. As intended, this guilts Gwen into not breaking up with him]].
* HaHaHaNo: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] by the Rhino in "Accomplices," when he [[spoiler: agrees to [[EnemyMine team up with Spider-Man]] to destroy the schematics behind his suit.]]
--> '''[[spoiler: Spider-Man:]]''' I know I'll regret this, but... [[spoiler: you wanna partner up to destroy it?]]
--> '''Rhino:''' [bursts out into jolly laughter, followed by a {{Beat}}] Okay.

--> '''Doc Ock''': Do not insult my intelligence, ''hero''! You tracked me down and tried to destroy me! As I knew you would.
--> '''Spider-Man''': Destroy you? Pal, I don't even ''know'' you!

* RescueRomance: Spidey saves a guy and a girl by webbing them together. For them it's LoveAtFirstSight.

--> '''Spidey''': (annoyed) Just once, I'd like to be ''early'' for school.

* AnAesop: "Reinforcement": Concentration of fire is important in both love and war.

* AbhorrentAdmirer: Peter shudders every time Aunt May brings up Mary Jane's "wonderful personality" until he actually meets her, likely assuming that she wouldn't be as great as Aunt May says.

* AbusiveParents: Norman Osborn barely conceals [[WhyCouldntYouBeDifferent contempt]] for his son Harry, from [[CompassionateCritic snide criticisms]] to parental neglect and blatant displays of [[ParentalFavoritism favoritism]] towards Harry's ''best friend'' Peter. Harry's mother [[TheVoiceless barely acknowledges him]]. Osborn takes this to a whole new level after revealing that [[spoiler:he was the Green Goblin. Not only did he accuse his son of being the Green Goblin, ''but he faked a limp and then injured his own son's leg in order to make it look more believable''. The creepiest part is that, after all this, Norman claims it was all out of ''love'' for Harry, claiming that "he never would have learned to become a man" without it. Wow... what a psycho.]] It gets much worse when you realize, due to Harry's angst at the end of that episode, that it ''worked.''
