Sally Avril

Caption

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Alpha Bitch
  • Ascended Extra: In the comics, she appeared in two panels on the second page of the first Spider-Man comic, Amazing Fantasy #15, and doesn't show up again for over thirty years.
  • All Guys Want Cheerleaders: In the first episode, Peter has a big crush on her and asks her out. The results? They ain't pretty.
  • The Cheerleader: Mean as hell and none-too-bright, Sally does the stereotypes proud.
  • Dumb Blonde
  • Even Jerks Have Standards: She doesn't like Peter, but, after one dangerous incident, openly admits that she's glad he's alright and even hugs him out of relief. Also, back toward the end of the first season, it's mentioned that "even Sally" is worried for Peter when she heard that Aunt May had a heart attack.
    • Makes a point of laying off Peter if Liz asks her to.
  • Grey DeLisle
  • Jerkass: Most of the time.
  • No Indoor Voice
  • Popular Is Dumb
  • Ship Sinking: Very against Liz/Peter. She got her wish when Liz broke up with Peter (but it was actually Peter who broke her up).
  • Spared by the Adaptation: Although considering that her comics counterpart dies as an adult and the series was canceled while she's still in high school...

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

J. Jonah Jameson

Caption

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Alliterative Name: John Jonah Jameson
  • Anti-Villain: Type 1
  • Bad Boss/ Benevolent Boss: Zigzagged with both. He regularly verbally abuses those that aren't Joe Robertson, but he's also protective of his staff.
  • Butt Monkey
  • Catch Phrase: Saying he wants to do something/that he wants something done, and then expressing the amount of time it should be done in seconds. (Example: "I want a title in 28 seconds!")
  • Cool Old Guy
  • Da Editor: Editor-in-chief of the Daily Bugle.
  • [[Doting Parent: He praises his son named John (who is an astronaut.)
  • Everyone Has Standards: Stands up for human rights... because he hates everyone equally. He is absolutely committed to truth in reporting. Despite his hatred of Spidey, Jameson has always refused to use fake images in his newspaper.
  • Good Is Not Nice: Most notably, when Rhino asks for Peter, JJJ notices Peter and gestures for him to hide, then lies to Rhino - claiming that he's never met Peter, that everything is done through email - even though this could easily cost him his life.
  • Good Parents: He's a jerk, but he's a great dad too.
  • Green-Eyed Monster: Toward Spider-Man, as usual.
  • Hair-Trigger Temper:You do not want to get on Jonah's bad side. Unfortunately, it's hard not to.
  • Hidden Depths: From his verbal tirades against Spider-Man and his own staff, you'd never know how much Jonah loves his family or how much he values those that work for him.
  • Inspector Javert: He doesn't like or trust Spidey, thinking he should be arrest.
  • Irrational Hatred: Jameson hates Spider-Man with such a passion that no matter how many times the superhero has saved him and his loved one over and over again, Jameson is still stubbornly convinced that he is a menace.
  • Jerkass: It wouldn't be J. Jonah Jameson if he weren't one.
  • Jerkass:
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: When Aunt May has a heart attack, he feels it's his responsibility as Peter's boss to break the news to him. It backfires, but that's not his fault.
    • We also see that he is extremely affectionate to his son.
  • Mean Boss
  • Motor Mouth
  • Troll: Of Spider-Man naturally.

Flint Marko/Sandman

Caption

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Anti-Villain: Type I. He's greedy for money but isn't out to hurt people unless it's in self defense.
  • The Blob
  • The Brute
  • Evil Duo: With Rhino, aka Alex O'Hirn.
  • Freak Lab Accident
  • Heroic Sacrifice: Somewhat subverted, in that while the act really was a heroic self-sacrifice that ended in his disintegration, the episode in question uses The End - or Is It?, as after things seem to have ended, he's shown reforming and then blowing away on the wind, so he's really Not Quite Dead.
  • Hidden Heart of Gold
  • Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: He and O'Hirn were constantly being humiliatingly foiled by Spider-Man.
  • John Dimaggio
  • Noble Demon
  • Pet the Dog: He shows kindness to a little girl in "First Steps."
    • In the same episode, he saves the people from the same oil tanker he's attacking.
  • Punch Clock Villain
  • Revenge: ...is something he really isn't interested in, unlike most of Spider-Man's Rogues Gallery. He just wants his "Big Score," and would leave Spidey alone if he didn't keep trying to stop him.
  • Story-Breaker Power: Getting there by "First Steps", once he's started to get a proper hang of his abilities. It's probably no coincidence that his last appearance in the show is in the episode where he absorbs Rockaway Beach. Yes, all of it.
  • That Man Is Dead: He doesn't take it as far as Electro, but on a few occasions he and Spidey seem to refer to "Flint Marko" like he was a totally separate person to emphasize this.
  • Took a Level in Badass: After eating a lot of raw silicates in prison, when he returns in "First Steps", his Elemental Shapeshifter abilities have become significantly more powerful.

Green Goblin

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Tombstone: I don't know who you are-
Green Goblin: Of course you don't! That's the point of the mask, genius!

(While Green Goblin and Spider-Man are battling all over town)
Goblin: Well you know the old saying: If you can't join 'em, beat 'em!
Spidey: Took the words right out of my mouth. Is that a felony?
Goblin: Oh, I should hope so. This little goblin wouldn't be caught dead committing a misdemeanor!
Spidey: Oooh, nice banter! Your aim could use a little work though.
Goblin: Well, practice makes perfect!
Spidey: Keep telling yourself that!

Otto Octavius/Dr. Octopus

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Eddie Brock/Venom

Caption

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Badass
  • Benjamin Diskin
  • Big Bad: Of Season 1 (along with Tombstone) and first half of season 2. In Season 1, aside from Peter's Character Development, Brock's increasing anger towards Peter and his eventual Face Heel Turn was one of the main plots of the season and eventually he turned into Venom in the final episodes of first season. And during the first half of season 2, Peter was mainly concerned about him. Also, his actions made Peter realize that he loves Gwen most and thus sets the Season 2 love triangle plot in motion.
  • Big Brother Mentor: Started as one to Peter, but obviously didn't stay as one.
  • Broken Ace: Was introduced as a Genius Bruiser liked by everyone, and as a frequent heroic bystander. Turns out that the heroism was because he was a Death Seeker, and he had some really deep-seated emotional problems. This explains his rapid Face Heel Turn when things go bad.
  • Composite Character: His Eddie Brock self shares characteristic with the Ultimate version of the character, being a scientist and Peter's close childhood friend, while the symbiote retains the alien origin from the Mainstream version.
  • Dangerously Genre Savvy
  • Death Seeker: According to Word of God, his frequent reckless heroics in earlier episodes were a sign of this on a subconscious level.
  • Evil Counterpart
  • Face Heel Turn
  • Genius Bruiser: Used to be a football star and was also Doctor Connors' lab assistant and a self-identified geek.
  • Giggling Villain: He has a very creepy laugh as Venom.
  • It's All About Me: Peter took photos of Dr. Connors as the Lizard? He's betraying Eddie's trust in him! The Connors have low funding and are forced to drop Eddie from their payroll? But how will Eddie pay for college! Spider-Man's destroying the Symbiote because its dangerous and evil? But that was Eddie's last chance at keeping his internship! And so forth. And all of this was from before he became Venom.
  • Large Ham: As Venom.
  • Lightning Bruiser
  • Names to Run Away From Really Fast
  • Rival Turned Evil: though more like bestfriend turned evil, since he wasn't especially in rivarly with Peter at the beginning.
  • Shipper on Deck: Shipped Gwen/Peter.
  • Took a Level in Badass: Second season.
  • Took a Level in Jerkass: About the time Peter got the black costume and even moreso after he started wearing it.
  • Villain Ball
  • Villainous Breakdown: Has one upon losing the symbiote.
  • Voice of the Legion: Venom speaks in two voices simultaneously; Eddie Brock's normal voice, combined with a more twisted and inhuman voice by the same voice actor. And the two voices aren't always even at the same pace, making it both brilliant and terrifying.
  • Xanatos Gambit

Alex O'Hirn/Rhino

Caption

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Anti-Villain: Type I. He's mean and reckless, but he has standards.
  • The Brute
  • Dumb Muscle: Just like in the comics.
    • Somewhat subverted: he's no genius, but he does make some fairly intelligent deductions, including being the first one to realize that if Peter Parker takes Spider-Man's pictures, he can use Peter to find Spider-Man. "I ain't stupid" is practically his Catch Phrase.
      • Something similar in happened with Scorpion in Spider-Man: The Animated Series, a character largely considered a dullard is the first one to make this connection.
  • Evil Duo: With his partner in crime, Flint Marko, both before and after they got their powers.
  • Meaningful Name: "O'Hirn" is an anagram of "Rhino".
  • Nigh Invulnerable
  • Smarter Than You Look: He's actually not as dumb as he might seem, as seen in "Accomplices".

"Montana"/Shocker

Caption

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Badass Normal
  • Bad Guys Play Pool
  • Composite Character: Montana and the Shocker are two different people in the comics.
  • Career Killers: A seasoned professional of the hitman type.
  • Evilly Affable: He speaks in a polite, somewhat aphoristic way which is enhanced by his strong Texan accent, but he's definitely not a nice person by any means (outside of the whole "killing people for money" thing).
  • Hand Blast
  • Wisdom from the Gutter: In an early appearance, he speaks to Spider-Man about a man needing to follow his commitments and Spider-Man being one of his (i.e. it goes against his "code" to fail to kill a target). Peter later repeats this verbatim to Aunt May when offering to chip in to pay the bills.

Quentin Beck/Mysterio

Caption

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by this character include:
  • Actually a Doombot: The first time Spidey caught him, the Mysterio that was captured turned out to be a robot double. The second time, Spidey is smart enough to pinch Beck to make sure he caught the real one... turns out that this Beck was also a robot double.
  • Adorable Evil Minions: The gremlin/gargoyle like robots he uses, which would also qualify as The Imp.
  • Altum Videtur
  • Cape Swish
  • Doing It for the Art: Beck seems to view the disguises and special effects he uses for his crimes as akin to acting and is concerned about putting on a good performance.
  • Evil Genius
  • Evil Laugh: Adds to his villainous dramatics.
  • Evil Brit: See below.
  • Fake Brit: As Mysterio, he talks in a hammy pseudo-British voice.
  • Karma Houdini: At the end of the series, the Beck who was sent to prison turns out to be a robot double, and thus the real Beck is running around free somewhere.
  • Large Ham: As always with Mysterio.
  • Laughably Evil
  • Master of Illusion
  • Sissy Villain: Besides the costume and the accent as Mysterio, Beck out of costume is a wimpy actor with a bit of a lisp, and in his first appearance (before taking on the Mysterio identity), he's shown providing Room Disservice in a way (unintentionally?) evocative of Wint and Kidd in Diamonds Are Forever.
  • Science Versus Magic: Mysterio is introduced as an Evil Sorceror who looks down on technology and demands to worship him. But it's all an act and Mysterio's powers are purely technological.
  • Smoke Out: One of his main gimmicks.
  • Stage Magician: Compared to one, and it certainly explains the persona.
  • Third Person Person: Does this in his Mysterio persona.
  • Teleport Cloak: As part of his act, he often uses to cape to make himself "disappear".
  • You Fool!: Says this to people several times in his first appearance.
