[[folder: Spider-Girl's Friends and Allies]]

[[folder: Villains]]

!!Reilly Tyne[=/=]Darkdevil

* EmergencyTransformation/MentalFusion: With [[{{SpiritAdvisor}} Daredevil]] to prevent a complete DemonicPossession.

* Tsundere: Towards May, big time, though [[CharacterDevelopment by the end of the series]] he's [[SoProudOfYou openly praising her]] and [[InterruptedCooldownHug even tries to hug her when she's worried about April]].

* LovesMyAlterEgo / MistakenIdentity: Mistakes Courtney for Spider-Girl... but falls for her on her own merits.

!! Jack "J.J." Jameson / The Buzz

!! Felicity Thompson / Scarlet Spider II

* StarvingArtist / [[ChildProdigy Teen Prodigy]]: Well, maybe not the starving part.

!! Normie Osborn / The Green Goblin / Venom

!! Brenda Drago Osborn / Raptor

* TheCowl to May, who is more of [[TheCape a cape]].

* ChessMaster / ManipulativeBastard: Manages to get and ''keep'' the Kingpin's criminal empire after the latter's [[KilledOffForReal death]]. Which he arranged, by the way. [[spoiler: At least until he starts losing it all in Spectacular.]]

%%* DeadGuyJunior
* DeadpanSnarker: You already know where she gets it.

* EveryoneLovesBlondes: Four of May's love interests (Brad, J.J., Franklin and Gene) are blondes. However, only two are evil.
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Changing her short Tomboy look for longer brown locks in Amazing Spider-Girl. Notably the haircut that stuck.
* {{Expy}}: Played with but ultimately [[{{Averted}} averted]]. May has similarities to Peter, MJ and even Ben ([[LampshadeHanging Peter lampshades that one]]) but is her own character. WordOfGod is that this was deliberate.

* ForcefulKiss: To [[spoiler: Normie]]. It didn't work out.

* ImportantHaircut: Averted. May kept changing her hairstyle every 10 or so issues just because. May finally settled on having long brown hair in ''Amazing Spider-Girl'' and retains the hairstyle in ''Spectacular Spider-Girl'' comics series as well as the ''Spider-Girl End'' issue.

* JumpedAtTheCall: She was delighted to learn she'd inherited her father's powers.

* PluckyGirl: Considering the fact that she is daughter of Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson.
* ProgressivelyPrettier: Definitely. While May was still pretty in her original solo comic book series (as well as the one hundred and fifth ''What if'' issue that she debuted in), she was kind of tomboyish and usually acted and/or appeared in a masculine manner due to her design as well as the art style and the fact that she had short hair. By the time of the ''Amazing Spider-Girl'' (which continues into the ''Spectacular Spider-Girl'' and ''Spider-Girl End''), May has long brown hair as well as a more feminine taste in fashion in addition to acting and appearing in a more feminine matter along with having a very attractive design due to the new art style, all while still being a superhero. Due to having an attractive design, May has a voluptuous yet athletic body instead of the skinny yet slightly toned body that she originally had in her first solo comic book series.
* ProperTightsWithASkirt: In ''Amazing Spider-Girl'' (which continues into ''Spectacular Spider-Girl'' and the ''Spider-Girl End'' issue), May usually wears skirts with or without a pair of red or blue tights.

* SaveThisPersonSaveTheWorld: In "The End".
* ShesGotLegs: In the ''Amazing Spider-Girl'' (along with the ''Spectacular Spider-Girl'' comic book series and the ''Spider-Girl End'' issue), May has long toned yet shapely legs and they are highlighted by the form-fitting costume and other outfits (such as skirts with or without tights) that she tends to wear.

* SiblingYinYang: With April and [[spoiler: Darkdevil]], [[CloningBlues depending on how you define "sibling"]].
* SleepCute: Gets a platonic version with [[spoiler: Peter]].
* SpiderSense: One of the powers she inherited from her father.
* StepfordSmiler: At times, when things get ''really'' bad.

** Averted in the ''Amazing Spider-Girl'' and the ''Spectacular Spider-Girl'' (along with ''The End'') where May is much more feminine and less of a tomboy (but still athletic) mainly due to the fact that she dresses more fashionably.

* UnluckyChildhoodFriend: To [[spoiler: Normie]].
* UncannyFamilyResemblance: Played straight at first, as she was drawn as a female Peter, but averted as the [[ArtEvolution art evolved]]. Now she resembles both of her parents equally.

%%* SleepCute: With May.

!! Aunt May Parker-Reilly

* DisappearedDad: It's revealed that he's Darkdevil's father.

!!April Parker/Mayhem

* AntiHeroSubstitute: What she was intended to be. May has to keep April on track to prevent her from injuring or killing people. As "the merciless Mayhem" she breaks with May to become a full-on antiheroine, but after realizing the damage she's caused she returns to the good side and turns back time to sacrifice herself to save her sister.

* DistaffCounterpart: To Ben Reilly, Kaine Parker, and Venom; being a clone of the series' Spider-hero who is convinced they're the original, not opposed to using excessive force or killing, and bonded to a symbiote.

* GoMadFromTheRevelation: The combined grief of accidentally killing May, being kicked out of the Parker family, and realizing that she was the real clone causes April to snap and go on a rampage, killing any superhero being she comes across in an effort to [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans make the world a better place]].

* MySiblingWillLiveThroughMe: April tries to invoke this via DeadPersonImpersonation after accidentally causing May's death. Unfortunately for her, Mary Jane sees through it right away, and when she figures out what happened furiously kicks April out of the Parker family.

* NinetiesAntiHero: April is brooding and sarcastic at the best of times. At the worst, she's downright bloodthirsty, and while she lacks [[MostCommonSuperpower some common attributes]], as Mayhem she can tick off scary "costume" and [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast scary name]] as well.
* OneLetterName: Goes by "Auntie A" in the BadFuture.

* PunnyName: As April herself put it, "After all, April comes before May".

* TwinSwitch: Impersonated May to make out with Wes, and later tried to take her place in life after accidentally killing her.

* WholeCostumeReference: April's superhero persona looks almost identical to Spider-Girl, and when she lets her symbiote side surface she [[http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100404191811/marveldatabase/images/b/b7/April_Parker_%28Earth-982%29_0001.jpg occasionally appears similar to Spider-Carnage]]. As Mayhem she looks similar to a black-and-blue Carnage.

%%* DarkIsNotEvil
%%* DeadpanSnarker

%%* UncannyFamilyResemblance: Though only MJ and Normie have noticed it. Peter (who insists the kid looks more like [[ShoutOut Tobey Maguire]]) and May [[SelectiveObliviousness remain oblivious]].

** She also had this with [[spoiler: Black Tarantula]]. She couldn't figure out why he was helping her... even after he got her [[StalkerWithACrush a strike team, training, a new costume,]] [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and flowers]].

* DeadGuyJunior: Named after both [[MyGreatestFailure Uncle]] [[SacrificialLion Bens]]

* NinetiesAntiHero: April is brooding and sarcastic at the best of times. At the worst, she's downright bloodthirsty, and while she lacks [[MostCommonSuperpower some]] [[TooManyBelts common]] [[{{Stripperiffic}} attributes]], as Mayhem she can tick off scary "costume" and [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast scary name]] as well.

* BadassGrandpa: With a BadassLongcoat AND BadassBeard!

* DealWithTheDevil: With [[Comicbook/GhostRider Zarathos]] to save Daredevil. It [[DemonicPossession does]] [[NiceJobBreakingItHero not]] [[InnocentBystander go]] [[EmergencyTransformation as]] [[MentalFusion planned]].

* GenerationXerox: [[YouAreNotAlone Reached]] [[NotSoDifferent out]] to [[spoiler:April]] like [[spoiler:Ben Reilly]] reached out to [[spoiler:Kaine]].

* PetTheDog: Teams up with Gerry Drew despite how [[AscendedFanboy very]] [[MotorMouth very]] [[BrattyHalfPint very]] [[AnnoyingYoungerSibling annoying]] he can be. Not to mention all the AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther moments with Mayday.

* SecretIdentityIdentity: Does NOT appreciation Doc Magus's suggestion that he [[spoiler: exorcise himself]] and stop being Darkdevil. Although, [[FridgeHorror considering]] [[CloneDegeneration what might happen if he did]]...

* BadassGrandpa: If you do the math.

* JerkassFacade: Gets [[{{Adorkable}} adorkably]] nervous talking to Spider-Girl out of costume, and seems to be a bit of a SociallyAwkwardHero in general due to being kind of MarriedToTheJob (both of them). Plus, see TricksterMentor below.

* YouAreNotAlone: [[TearJerker Tries]] to convince April she belongs in the Spider-Family.

* YouAreNotAlone: [[TearJerker Tries]] to convince April [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming she belongs in the Spider-Family]].

* AmazonianBeauty: Started out on the [[http://marvel.com/images/gallery/character/1009609/images_featuring_spider-girl_may_parker/image/19035 slender side]], but was continually [[http://marvel.wikia.com/The_Amazing_Spider-Girl_Vol_1_12 toned]] [[http://marvel.com/images/gallery/issue/21214/images_from_amazing_spider-girl_2006_20/image/138519 up]] as the series progressed. Of course this makes sense considering the amount of exercise she'd get fighting supervillains and bounding across New York.

* MsFanservice: Though initially not as much as other the super heroines (due to usually being [[AvertedTrope Averted]]) in her original solo series, Mayday is made for this trope in the ''Amazing Spider-Girl'' and the ''Spectacular Spider-Girl'' comics series as well as the ''Spider-Girl End'' issue (While she was pretty in her original solo series, May is very beautiful in her following three comic book series).
* MostCommonSuperpower: DependingOnTheArtist. Most often she's not the bustiest of heroines, but in ''Amazing Spider-Girl'' #9 she's drawn as being more buxom than usual.
** She's also not fond of Stripperiffic costumes. Mostly because her Dad would ''never'' let her wear one.

* ProgressivelyPrettier: Definitely. While May was still pretty in her original solo comic book series (as well as the one hundred and fifth ''What if'' issue that she debuted in), she was kind of tomboyish and usually acted and/or appeared in a masculine manner due to her design as well as the art style and the fact that she had short hair. Come the ''Amazing Spider-Girl'' (which continues into the ''Spectacular Spider-Girl'' and ''Spider-Girl End''), May has long brown hair as well as a more feminine taste in fashion and acts and appears in a more feminine matter in addition to having a very attractive design due to the new art style, all while still being a superhero. Due to having an attractive design, May has a voluptuous yet athletic body instead of the skinny yet slightly toned body that she originally had in her first solo comic book series.

* ShesGotLegs: In the ''Amazing Spider-Girl'' and the ''Spectacular Spider-Girl'' comic book series (as well as the ''Spider-Girl End'' issue), May has long toned yet shapely legs (rather than the skinny pair of legs that she originally had in her first solo comic book series) that are highlighted by the form-fitting costume and other outfits (such as skirts with or without tights) that she tends to wear.

* GenreSavvy: Aware of most ComicBookTropes, due to having grown up in a world with superheroes. Especially LetsYouAndHimFight, which she hates falling for.

* DatingCatwoman: She and [[spoiler: Black Tarantula]] had ''lots'' of FoeYay. Then it was [[RelationshipReveal revealed they used to have a thing]]. Then they [[LivingWithTheVillain started living together]]. In Spectacular, [[spoiler:Fabian proposed]].

* TheChosenOne: It's revealed that [[spoiler:he is the receptacle of the Scion]].

* DeadLittleSister: Was one to April in the BadFuture of ''Spider-Girl: The End'', and [[TearJerker loses April by the end of the story]].

* PluckyGirl

* GirlinessUpgrade/ProgressivelyPrettier: Definitely. While May was still pretty in her original solo comic book series (as well as the one hundred and fifth ''What if'' issue that she debuted in), she was kind of tomboyish and usually acted and/or appeared in a masculine manner due to her design as well as the art style and the fact that she had short hair.

* TheObiWannabe: Because of her May's clashing morals.
