* [[Chronic Hero Syndrome]]: Even after her rebellious phase ends, Mary Jane finds herself still becoming Spider-Woman on instinct whenever people are in trouble. This is even [[Lampshaded]] by some of her enemies, who ask her why she fights crime as a heroine. Even Mary Jane herself can't quite figure out the reason why she continues to fight crime for no apparent or rational reason. What she ''does'' know is that she simply can't help herself whenever she sees someone who needs help.

* [[The City Narrows]]: New Yorkers commonly refer to Yancy Street as the city's figurative "ass crack", considering what it spews on a daily basis. Home to street gangs, drug dealers and pimps, every law-abiding person who could afford to flee Yancy Street long ago, and the few that remain live in fear of the criminals that use the street as their base of operations, especially the Yancy Street Gang.

* [[C List Fodder]]: Jared makes an effort to subvert this trope, relegating A-list heroes to guest star appearances and forming Spider-Woman's [[Rogues Gallery]] out of many of his favorite C- and D-list bad guys.

* [[Composite Character]]: Take the character of Mary Jane Watson, give her [[Spider Woman|Jessica Drew]]'s costume and some of Jessie's powers, add a few biological equivalents to Spider-Man's webbing and spider-tracers, and you have our dashing heroine.

* [[Cute Bruiser]]: Mary Jane Watson is a hot teenage coed. Spider-Woman is every bit as strong as Spider-Man.
* [[Cute Bruiser]]: Mary Jane Watson is a hot teenage coed. Spider-Woman is every bit as strong as Spider-Man.
* [[Cut Himself Shaving|Cut Herself Shaving]]: Mary Jane's had to come up with explanations for her injuries at different points. Her typical excuse is that she got caught in the middle of a supervillain attack or some other type of crime. This actually works more than you'd think, particularly since New York is typically rife with enough supervillains to create a Rogues Gallery for each hero that operates there and is specifically mentioned as having the highest crime rate in the entire United States.

* [[Cut Lex Luthor a Check]]: Subverted with Polestar. After almost twenty years of slaving away in honest work, he's earned about as much wealth and prestige as [[Married With Children|Al Bundy]]. So why in the blue hell would he get a legitimate job when he obtains magnetic powers?

** More generally, this trope is repeatedly [[Reconstruction|Reconstructed]] throughout the series. The simple fact is that many supervillains find chaos, torture and murder to be far more fulfilling and meaningful than earning an honest living with their powers. They could probably make an honest living with their powers, but many of them simply don't ''want'' to.

* [[Dating What Daddy Hates]]: In this case, it's the son (Ben Reilly) dating a girl (Mary Jane Watson) that his father (Andrew Reilly) hates.

* [[Heroic BSOD]]: After a particularly brutal [[Humiliation Conga]] stretched over two days, Mary Jane pretty much falls to pieces at the end of issue #35. Ben Parker helps her get back on her feet.

* [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold]]: Although she gets better as the series goes on, Mary Jane goes into this territory at times. Instead of hiding her anger and frustrations behind a party-girl persona, this version of Mary Jane simply represses it, which leads her anger to manifest on occasion.

* [[Official Couple]]: Subverted in that Mary Jane and Peter Parker dated in the past, but never really clicked. And they never will, because [[Word of God]] says so.

* [[One Steve Limit]]: Kenny "Kong" McFarlane, a [[Canon Immigrant]] from the [[Ultimate Spider Man]] comics, also appears here briefly. However, since [[Troper Works/Ultimate Sleepwalker|Ultimate Sleepwalker]] already had a character named Kenny as part of the cast, Kong's real name is Bruce.

* [[Only in It For The Money]]: As Mary Jane finds out, getting psychiatric help for your mother isn't cheap. Hence why she forces herself to put up with Roderick Kingsley's borderline sexual harassment.

He bluntly warns her to stay away from his son, before threatening to make her life miserable if she doesn't listen to him. Ben is not pleased when he hears about this.

* [[Perpetual Poverty]]: Mary Jane lives paycheck to paycheck, in no small part because she's a teenage university student who has to pay her own tuition and living expenses. It's not helped by her insistence on helping Anna support Maddie and pay for her therapy, or the fact that she's been shortchanged on her tuition payments both deliberately (by her father, out of spite) and accidentally (after the idiots at the bank fouled up her student loan application). Hence Mary Jane is constantly trying to find time for additional modelling or acting work to help pay the bills.

* [[Playing Both Sides]]: Jack O'Lantern does this with the New York mobs, using Phillip Watson as his proxy. Subverted in that Jack ''knows'' the mobs are going to realize they were played for fools, and are going to blame Phillip for it...

* [[Popularity Power]]: Completely inverted. The more of this you have, the lower your chances of showing up outside of the odd guest star appearance. The sole exception is Spider-Man, but even he doesn't get more than the odd cameo appearance.

* [[Powers As Programs]]: The nanotechnology that's used with the cells of Netshape's body are programmed with the abilities of various video game characters, including the [[Super Mario Brothers]], [[Sonic the Hedgehog]], [[Duke Nukem]], [[Donkey Kong]] and [[God of War (Video Game)|Kratos]]. By changing shape, he can give himself super speed, super strength, [[More Dakka]], the ability to throw fireballs, etc.

* [[Prima Donna Director]]: Archibald Llewellyn, Mary Jane's director on a production of ''[[A Streetcar Named Desire]]'' is a pompous jerk who rubs most of his actors the wrong way. He goes out of his way to belittle and even humiliate Mary Jane, but she gets a sort of revenge when the critics give her a glowing review for her performance during the show's actual run.

* [[Psycho Electro]]: Completely inverted with Thunderbird, a member of the X-Men. In this version, rather than [[Dropped a Bridge On Him|getting a bridge dropped on him]] the way his 616 counterpart did in the [[X-Men]] comics, Thunderbird is alive and well and possesses the power to generate and control electricity. His brother is also part of the group, serving as [[The Big Guy]] for the X-Men when they team up with Spider-Woman to help rescue her family from the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.

* [[Reconstruction]]: Of traditional superhero comics. Efforts are frequently made to [[Justify]] various superhero tropes and examine how the world would develop if they really existed. Some of the larger trends in recent years, such as [[Writing for The Trade]], are also notably absent.

* [[Rogues Gallery]]: For someone who's only been a costumed hero for about a year, Mary Jane's built up a pretty big one. So far Spider-Woman has tangled with the likes of Blizzard, Will O' the Wisp, the Brothers Grimm, Firebrand, Polestar, Tarot, the Constrictor, Jack O' Lantern, Moonstone, Supercharger, Joystick, Boomerang, Mayhem, Netshape and the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Blizzard, the Brothers Grimm, Firebrand, Will O' the Wisp, Tarot, Polestar, the Constrictor, the Brotherhood (in the form of [[Dishing Out Dirt|Avalanche]]), Moonstone and Jack O'Lantern have already come back for a second round. The speed with which Spider-Woman gained her rogues gallery is [[Lampshaded]], as is the fact that there seemed to be enough costumed criminals in New York to form a Rogues Gallery for every hero that operates there.

* [[Stalker With a Crush]]: After Spider-Woman fights to stop Jack O' Lantern from robbing a high-society party, teenage guest Ronald Hilliard gets it into his head that she was there to protect him specifically. He finds himself constantly thinking about her, and begins downloading every picture he can find of her on the Internet, which he then uses to [[Stalker Shrine|wallpaper his bedroom]].

* [[Stern Teacher]]: Dr. Curt Connors is one of the most popular professors at Empire State University. His classes are highly sought after because of his ability to clearly explain complicated scientific principles to even the least scientifically-minded students. He doesn't pull his punches when he doesn't think his students are living up to their potential, though.

* [[Straight Gay]]: Anna Watson's lesbianism is casually mentioned by Mary Jane in a one-off conversation with Kitty, explaining that Anna doesn't make a big deal about it because she doesn't want her homosexuality to be the only thing people notice about her. As a mutant who consciously tries to avoid getting caught up in the drama surrounding mutant politics, Kitty can sympathize.

* [[Wacky Fratboy Hijinx]]: Subverted by Mark Raxton and his fraternity brothers, who despise the stereotype of drunken fraternity hooligans created by the ''[[American Pie]]'' and ''[[National Lampoon]]'' movies. While Mark jokingly refers to this trope when he first meets Mary Jane at Fire Island, his fraternity brothers have more important things to do, like performing charity work or indulging their musical interests.
