Line 30:
* [[Beat Panel]]: Used regularly ([[Decompressed Comic]] and all that), but possibly most amusing in 118:
{{quote|'''Johnny:''' (to Peter and Kitty) Oh wait, and you two used to...
<[[Love Triangle|Peter, Kitty and MJ]] glare at him><br />
'''Johnny:''' And now you're-- And she's--<br />
<Peter, Kitty and MJ glare at him><br />
'''Johnny:''' Oh. }}
** Another brilliant instance is when Jean Grey tells Peter he's the first guy in months not to immediately picture her naked.
Line 157:
* [[Grandma, What Massive Hotness You Have!]]: Aunt May, in the Bagley era. In some issues, she appears to be the mid-fifties to early-sixties woman that she's supposed to be. In others, she's got ''slight'' age-lines around the corners of her mouth and is otherwise [[Most Common Superpower|drawn like pretty much every woman in a superhero comic]].
* [[Happier Home Movie]]: The "Venom" arc starts with Peter finding & watching some old home movies, filmed before the deaths of his parents & Uncle Ben.
* [[HeelDeadly Face Door SlamChange-of-Heart]]: How did {{spoiler|Doc Ock}} really think Osborn was going to react when he said they shouldn't go after Peter?
* {{spoiler|[[The Hero Dies]]: Peter got a brief reprieve from being killed off in [[Ultimatum]], but as they say, you can't outrun fate.}}
* [[Hero Insurance]]: Yeah, Spidey doesn't have this. {{spoiler|This is the main reason why Danvers, the new head of SHIELD, has [[The Ultimates]] train Peter. So his future battles don't incite too much property damage.}}
Line 188:
** Averted, {{spoiler|with issue #155 revealing that Kenny wussed out pretty quickly}}.
* [[Like Brother and Sister]]: Gwen told MJ that she and Peter were like this {{spoiler|immediately before she was killed off. But then, in the months after the Ultimatum Wave, when MJ broke up with Peter again for some reason, she apparently changed her mind.}}
* [[Lighter and Softer]]: that most of [[Ultimate Marvel]]
* [[Love Dodecahedron]]: To the extent this becomes a full-blown one depends entirely on one fact: Does an {{spoiler|[[Opposite SexGender Clone]] with all Peter's memories}} count as "him" for the purpose of scoring? If yes, that takes Peter's serious, persistent love interests almost to [[Ranma ½|Ranma's]] levels. In fact, if just one more girl shows up, he'll have tied the pigtailed wonder.
** And one more girl has indeed showed up : Lana Baumgartner, {{spoiler|a.k.a the Bombshell daughter}}, new transfer student. Time will tell if she will really be a part of the equation, but things are off to a good start!
* [[Male Gaze]]: Peter is standing in a lift next to Elektra and can't stop staring at her but glances away every time she looks at him.
{{quote|'''Spider-Man:''' What was your name again?
'''Elektra:''' [[My Eyes Are Up Here|Stop staring at them.]]<br />
'''Spider-Man:''' What? No. What? I was--<br />
'''Elektra:''' (Smirks, gives [[Aside Glance]]) }}
* [[Made of Iron]]: Moon Knight. The man gets {{spoiler|stabbed, exploded and shot in the head on panel}} and every time, he ''will not go down.''
Line 215 ⟶ 216:
* [[One-Hit Kill|One Hit KO]]: Spider-Man's first fight with Kraven.
** In ''[[Tonight Someone Dies|The Death of Spider-Man]]'', the Human Torch does this. ''[[Crowning Moment of Awesome|To the Green Goblin]]''.
* [[Only Six Faces]]: Usually averted, but not always. Bagley's rendition of [[Fantastic Four|Sue Storm]] during the Ultimate Clone Saga looked ''identical'' to Gwen Stacy (particularly noticable as {{spoiler|Gwen herself came back from the dead in that very arc}}). Even more noticeable was the way Immonen drew Jessica Drew WAY too close to Kitty Pryde- just look at the scene where Jessica glomps Kitty when they meet at the end of ''Ultimatum.'' If it wasn't for their costumes they'd be identical. {{spoiler|(Ironic, as [[Opposite SexGender Clone|Jessica's face is supposed to be almost identical to Peter's]].)}}
** It isn't restricted solely to the girls either- during the beach scene in chapter 118 it's almost impossible to tell Johnny and Bobby apart (Immonen again). Fortunately this was rectified when they switched to Lafuente, who draws Bobby COMPLETELY differently.
** The creepy eyeless girl in Moon Knight's visions looks an awful lot like Mary Jane.
* [[Opposite SexGender Clone]]: {{spoiler|Jessica Drew}}.
* [[Out of Focus]]: In spite of being a rather memorable player in Spidey's Rogues Gallery in the main canon, Sandman only appears in one story arc of the Ultimate Books and barely has any lines. It's implied that the reason he doesn't talk much is due to some form of brain damage from his transformation.
* [[Our Vampires Are Different]]: Averted when Morbius made his debut--unlike the classic incarnation, Morbius really is a traditional vampire in the Ultimate Universe. Oh and he's {{spoiler|[[Dracula]]'s son.}}
Line 297 ⟶ 298:
* [[Wham! Episode]]: USM #4, which ends on the death of Uncle Ben & likewise, USM #62, which {{spoiler|features Gwen Stacy's death}}.
** USM #98-100, in the middle of the cliffhanger. #99 in particular had about five back-to-back cliffhangers, culminating in {{spoiler|the apparent return of Richard Parker.}}
*** How Whammy was the Ultimate Clone Saga? {{spoiler|Peter meets a crazy supervillain with his face. MJ gets kidnapped by an insane, deformed clone of Peter. Peter meets a "Spider-Woman" who knocks him out. Peter finds Gwen Stacey apparently back from the dead. Aunt May finds out Peter's secret and hysterically tells him to get the hell out. Richard Parker walks in the front door, apparently having been alive all along. Nick Fury shows up with an army of Spider Slayers to arrest Peter. "Gwen" transforms into Carnage, the monster that ''killed'' her and attacks Fury. Aunt May has a heart attack. "Spider-Woman" rescues Peter from Nick Fury and reveals herself to be an [[Opposite SexGender Clone]] of him. The deformed clone beats up another clone which has 6 arms and mutates MJ with OZ, causing her to turn into a horrific hairy monster when she gets angry or frightened. "Richard Parker" turns out to be an artificially aged clone of Peter with fake memories. It turns out the one behind it all was [[Complete Monster|Doctor Octopus,]] who is now working for the CIA. And Doc Ock's power isn't control over his tentacles after all- it's absolute control over ''metal''.}} The [[Holy Shit Quotient|HSQ]] for this arc was ''through the roof.''
** ''Ultimate Origins'' reveals {{spoiler|that Richard & Mary Parker were killed by the Hulk during Banner's first transformation whilst Peter was a baby... [[It Got Worse|And it was only the sight of Peter in his mother's arms that stops the Hulk from doing more damage]]}}. However, as it had previously been established that {{spoiler|Peter knew his parents & that they died in a plane crash with Eddie Brock's parents}}, this means that {{spoiler|the Richard & Mary Parker that Peter knew ''aren't his real parents''}}.
** Issue #160. {{spoiler|Peter dies.}}
Line 319 ⟶ 320:
'''Hoodie Two''': DAAYUUM!
'''Hoodie One''': IZZAT HOW IT'S GONNA BE!? (attacks Spider-Man) }}

{{quote|''The Ringer captures Spider-Man in his rings''
'''Spider-Man''':(immobilized) [[Oh Crap|Ggnn!!]]<br />
'''The Ringer''': '''Come on!! Come on!'''<br />
''The Ringer sends out an explosive torrent of rings at Spider-Man''<br />
'''Spider-Man''': I can't!<br />
''The Ringer's rings flail around and bounce harmlessly off Spider-Man''<br />
'''Spider-Man''': I really can't!! Hello!! }}
* [[Pre-Mortem One-Liner]]: Non fatal example:
