* TakeUpMySword: At the end of ''Spider-Verse'', Mary Jane gives May Peter's old Spider-Man costume. She declares she's no longer Spider-Girl, but Spider-''Woman''.

* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The Tomboy to her mother.

* TragicKeepsake: Her costume used to belong to Ben Reilly.

* WallCrawl: Her wall-crawling ability is markedly different from her father's, being a fair bit stronger for starters.

* CharacterDeath: In a tie-in to ComicBook/SpiderVerse.

* TalkingTheMonsterToDeath: How she convinces a student's parents to stop [[HaveYouTriedNotBeingAMonster trying to "fix" their mutant daughter]].

* NaughtyIsGood: Starts growing into this once he [[spoiler: gets his spider-powers]], using his newfound skills to cause mischief ([[{{TheReveal}} revealing]] his secret to his by [[{{BadlyBatteredBabysitter}} pelting May with toys]] [[spoiler: from above]] for example). In the L'il Benjy "series" he frequently uses them to cause mischief and evade grownups.

* [[AscendedFanboy Ascended Fangirl]]: Fangirled the Fantastic Five (especially [[TeenIdol Franklin Richards]]) and the Avengers even before becoming a superhero.
* [[BigManOnCampus Big Woman on Campus]]: May, like her mother, is rather popular. [[StepfordSmiler Until her life as Spider-Girl starts messing things up.]]
* [[{{BigBrotherMentor}} Big Sister Mentor]]: ''Never'' stops trying to be this to [[spoiler: April]] and will certainly be one to Benjy in the future.
* [[{{BigBrotherInstinct}} Big Sister Instinct]]: Don't mess with her little brother. [[MySisterIsOffLimits Or try to date her "sister" (at least if your name is Gene Thompson).]]

* MommyIssues: Is not happy about Felicia's new partner. She's upset about her parent's divorce rather than her mom being lesbian.

* GenerationXerox: To Spidey, sort of, as he becomes the subject of Jonah's ire [[MistakenForMurderer due to a misunderstanding]]

* ImportantHaircut: Averted. May kept changing her hairstyle every 10 or so issues just because. Until she finally settled on a look in Amazing Spider-Girl

* YouKilledMyFather You Killed My Son]]: Blames Spider-Girl for [[spoiler: Crazy Eight's death]].

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: When Earth-616 Peter attempts to console her [[spoiler:after the Inheritors steal her baby brother and promises to do whatever it takes to get him back]], May angrily snaps that he and all the other Spiders are fakes and that the only real Spider-Man was her father, who was killed by Daemos.

!!May Parker/Spider-Girl/Spider-Woman

!!May Parker/Spider-Girl

* CostumeCopycat: It used to be her Uncle Ben's.

* CharacterDeath: In a tie-in to ComicBook/SpiderVerse.

** BadassGrandpa: If you do the math.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: TheReveal never happened despite being set up in [[AbortedArc Venom and Gwen Reilly arcs]]. WordOfGod is that [[http://comicboards.com/php/show.php?rpy=spidergirl-2010120514052861 he probably would have told the Parkers the truth had the series continued]].

* [[HoYay Les Yay]]: Really, ''really'', '''really''' wants to be May's "partner". In crime, of course.

* FoeYay: Subverted in that the ShipTease doesn't start until his HeelFaceTurn. Then Normie got [[spoiler: Venomized]] and started trying to [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything merge]] with May. Also, Fury, [[StalkerWithACrush kind]] [[AbhorrentAdmirer of]].

* HoYay: Did we mention he's a ''big'' fan of Spider-Man?

* RedHerring: No relation to Peter OR Felicia. [[spoiler: He's the son of [[SpiderWoman Jessica Drew]]]].

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: For the fans who saw 616!Anya as something of rival.

* TheScrappy: A meta example, as some fans [[MisBlamed blame 616!Anya for the cancellation]].

* Foil: In [[FridgeBrilliance retrospect]], it's funny he and fellow [[spoiler: AloofBigBrother big brother Darkdevil]] were introduced in the same issue.

* JerkassWoobie: Okay, yes, he's a crazy MonsterClown. But it's hard not to feel bad for him when [[spoiler: his brother gets gunned down in a gang war]].
