Line 15:
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: Indeed! It's a superhero story that doesn't shy away at all from the gritty brutality in the pulp stories this took inspiration from.
** And the sequel is even grittier than the first. Mainly because it deals with themes such as 1930's era racism and {{spoiler|horrifying experiments being performed against innocent black people by deranged Nazis.}}
* [[Even Evil Has Loved Ones]]: Kraven is shown to care about his brother the Chameleon, and is outraged when he finds out that {{spoiler|Felicia killed him}}.
* [[I'm a Humanitarian]]: {{spoiler|The Vulture, as poor Uncle Ben found out the hard way.}}
* [[Laser-Guided Karma]]: When {{spoiler|Otto Octavius is extradited to Nazi Germany as part of a plea bargain, he is enthusiastic to meet one of his idols, Henrich Himmler and hopes to join the Nazi party. Unfortunately for him, Himmler is disgusted due to Otto being born a cripple and rejects him for not living up to the image of Aryan superiority. While sent on his way, it's hard to imagine that Otto would last much longer given the prejudice the cripples suffered at the hands of the Nazis...}}
* [[Likes Older Women]]: Peter himself, being in love with the thirty-something Felicia Hardy with him being somewhat insecure about the age gap.
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Felicia Hardy, who gets more than a few panels where she strips down to her lingerie.
* [[Nice Hat]]: An occasional part of the Noir Spidey costume - he only wears it a couple times.
* [[Superhero Packing Heat]]: Spider-Man is shown to brandish guns around to intimidate others, but he's only killed one person with them: Vulture, who he caught trying to eat and kill Aunt May.
