* [[Clone Degeneration]]: This seems to happen to a lot of the clones in this story. Kaine, according to [[Word of God]], has a life support system in his costume just to stop this from killing him. Ben Reilly also degenerated when he died, mostly to [[Jossed|preemptively kill any]] [[Epileptic Trees]] that would say he wasn't the clone.
* [[Cloning Blues]]: Hits its peak during ''Maximum Clonage'', or as one reviewer has put it, [http://www.toplessrobot.com/2008/11/the_13_dumbest_spiderman_storiesjust_from_the_clon.php?page=4 Night of a Million Jillion Spider-Clones.]
* [[Convenient Miscarriage]]: During the Clone Saga, Mary Jane was pregnant with Baby May. Baby May was originally supposed to tie into the storyline of Peter Parker not being the real Peter Parker. Since Peter wasn't the real Peter anymore, Marvel would have been able to get around the problem where having a baby would age Peter too much. But after the fan revolt, Marvel decided to make Peter the real Peter after all and the pregnancy storyline was dropped.

* [[Courtroom Episode]]: "The Trial of Peter Parker" [[Story Arc]], with a [[Kangaroo Court]] sequence thrown in for good measure.
* [[Covers Always Lie]]: Many covers had blurbs teasing that new twists would be revealed, only for the issue to present no new developments. Also, during ''Maximum Clonage'', almost every cover featured an army of Spider-Clones. They ended up only appearing for one full issue and a few pages, then dying with little relevance to the plot.
