!!! '''Alter Ego:''' Reed Richards
!!! '''First Appearance:''' ''The Fantastic Four'' #1 (November 1961)
The certified Super Genius of the 4, and TeamDad with his ability to think his way out of the many problems they face. Reed grew up an extremely intelligent man. In fact, it was his idea to take the shuttle flight to study cosmic rays that day. After that fateful encounter, he gained the ability to stretch and mold his body however he could want. Whether that's sliding through a rivet hole or turning his body into a ball. Regardless, his brain will always be his best weapon to fight supervillains. Of course, that same brain can sometime infuriate the family, as it can lead him to alienating the others when he gets too caught up in an experiment or not listening to others. See ComicBook/MisterFantastic for more info.

!!! '''First Appearance:''' ''The Fantastic Four'' #1 (November 1961)
The TeamMom of the 4, "Sue" was originally just Reed's girl. In fact she first fell for him before finishing puberty, and slowly grew into his life. Her initial powers seemed to just be invisibility, but after some much needed growth and practice, that was upgraded into "projecting" that invisibility into force fields. Sue is fiercely devoted to the family around her, but that often can rub shoulders with Ben on his grumpier days, and she's more often annoyed at her brother Johnny's antics sometimes as well. And don't get her started on the frustrations she can have with her now husband over spending quality time with the family. Despite the rough patches though, Sue will do whatever it takes to ensure the world and her home is kept safe. See [[ComicBook/InvisibleWoman The Invisible Woman]] for more info.

!!! '''First Appearance:''' ''The Fantastic Four'' #1 (November 1961)
An impulsive (and soon, literal) hothead of the 4, Johnny is the younger brother of Sue Storm, the Invisible Woman. A classic case of [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks Silver Age]] science fiction, Johnny was part of an outer space expedition that —alongside Sue, her boyfriend Dr. Reed Richards, and his associate Ben Grimm— granted him special powers via cosmic radiation. In his case, Johnny gained [[PlayingWithFire fire-based abilities]], including [[FlyingFirepower flight]]. With them, Johnny became a founding member of the Fantastic Four, using their powers for the betterment of humanity. One of Spider-Man's longtime friends.

!!! '''Alter Ego:''' Benjamin Jacob Grimm
!!! '''First Appearance:''' ''The Fantastic Four'' #1 (November 1961)
Perhaps the most iconic of the 4, simply because of his visual distinctiveness. Ben Grimm was Reed's college roommate, and when Reed needed someone to fly a ship into space despite the risks of cosmic radiation, he went to Ben, who initially refused and had to be goaded into flying the rocket. The rays afflicted Ben more severely than everyone else, turning him into a rocklike humanoid. Despite Reed's best efforts, he's consistently proven unable to revert Ben back to his normal human self for very long, something that causes both men no end of grief. Meanwhile, even with his condition, Ben has managed to become an "idol o' millions" thanks to his stalwart nature and good heart (constant bickering with Johnny aside).

!!! '''Alter Ego:''' Andrew Maguire
!!! '''First Appearance:''' ''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #692 (October, 2012)
--> ''"Put the knife down and let the lady go. Sweet. I just said that thing super heroes say!"''
An average fifteen-year-old given extraordinary abilities by an experiment gone wrong, leading him to become the sidekick to Spider-Man. After misusing his powers in a mission with the Avengers, he was depowered by the web-head. However, he has since been repowered by Doc Ock possessing Peter Parker's body.
----
* ArchEnemy: Has one named Zeta, who is a tumor-like beast. He's also [[spoiler: the mugger that Alpha nearly killed.]] Alpha asked Spider-Man to help finish him, but some of Zeta's cancerous tissues escapes, meaning he will be back again.
* TheAtoner: In the ''Alpha: Big Time'' mini-series he really wants to make up for his mistakes. When he [[spoiler: believed he killed a mugger by accident]] he was ready to get arrested and depowered again.
* BarrierWarrior: Can protect himself with forcefields.
* {{Blackmail}}: He's currently being blackmailed by "Boss" Cohen, the crimelord of Pittsburgh over the incident above in TheAtoner. And this was after Cohen attempted to kill his mother through a fire and then targeted his LoveInterest.
* ButtMonkey: Without his powers (and the confidence boost that comes with them) he is pretty much this.
** His life has been steadily getting worse as his parents have divorced (which perhaps his homelife may not been as good as first assumed) and he is currently being blackmailed by a crimelord while trying to be the protector of Pittsburgh.
* CannotTalkToWomen: Before he got his powers.
* CharacterShilling: Assessed by Reed to potentially be the first Alpha-level threat, which puts him above the Hulk, Sentry and even the Phoenix in terms of power level.
** Turns out this is because his "power source," Parker Particles, are tied to the ''expansion of the universe.'' It certainly explains why he can be a danger.
* CreateYourOwnVillain: Zeta appears to be the result of his ill-controlled powers mutating someone into a tumor-like abomination. [[spoiler: Said someone was the mugger.]]
* DePower: Spider-Man eventually decided Alpha was too irresponsible for his power and used Terminus' lance to depower Alpha after too much collateral damage.
** This was undone by the Superior Spider-Man (Doc Ock) who was gradually repowering Andrew during his weekly Horizon Labs test in the hopes of taking that power for himself.
* HeroWithBadPublicity: After his actions as Alpha, no one has a good image of him. The kids at his school think he is a freak and the adults think he is a doofy kid.
* InstantExpert: During his first appearances it looked like this was the case since he was kicking ass even outshining Thor, but then you realize that all his first fights were against giant monsters and when the time came for him to stop a regular burglar, this trope is subverted.
** He would get depowered as he was too reckless against Terminus and Peter decided it wasn't worth it.
* {{Jerkass}}: He became the total package after getting his powers.
** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He became a nicer person and trying to do good after being de-powered. Heck, as seen with TheAtoner, he's more willing to try and take responsibility.
* JumpedAtTheCall: The day he got powers was his best day ever, although he jumped more because of the fame and noteworthiness rather than his desire to help.
** But later in his mini, it was revealed that deep inside [[IJustWantToBeNormal he just wants to be normal]]. Given how things are going worse for him, not hard to blame him.
* JuniorCounterpart: He is somewhat like Peter Parker back when he got his powers, but before losing Uncle Ben. He wanted to use his powers for fame and profit.
* KidHero: He's still in high school.
* LameComeback: After recovering his powers, he finds himself struggling with responses to other people.
* LeftHanging: His mini introduced a number of plot threads that seem unlikely to be resolved as time goes by: a local crime boss is blackmailing him into ignoring his crimes, his love interest he finally began talking to is too scared to be around him because aforementioned boss threatened her, and his Mom who he revived from an attempted hit is now infected with his power, which has a cancerous mutating effect on everyone that isn't him.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: He must be related to [[Film/SpiderManTrilogy Tobey Maguire]] although maybe his parents are more fans of [[Creator/AndrewGarfield Andrew]] [[Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan Garfield]].
* OnlyFriend: Duncan Kilgore is his confidant and only non-superhuman friend.
* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: Like Peter Parker once was. Unlike Peter though, he was even more average, being a C- student and having little motivation.
* TheScrappy: Both in-universe and in real life, to where it seems almost intentional. He was doomed to become this since the beginning (something his creator Dan Slott kinda expected it seems), first announced as Spider-Man's new sidekick to light the fire of the fandom (who despised the sole idea of Spidey joining the Avengers, let alone getting a sidekick), then wrote him as a complete Jerkass with no redeemable qualities and to top it all, making him a GodModeSue who is shown to be stronger than [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]] in one fight. Even now when he's getting some better characterization in his mini, people still cry why did he get a mini instead of being thrown at [[ComicBook/AvengersArena "The Arena"]].
* SecretIdentity: He didn't have one at the beginning. After getting his powers back, he tries to have one but unfortunately for him, everybody recognizes him and not in a good way.
* ShooOutTheNewGuy: A perfect example (although he does come back later). He's even accused of being a "Poochie" (alternate name for this trope) in-universe.
* SuperpowerLottery: Let's see, flight, energy blasts, nigh-invulnerability, low-level telekinesis, matter manipulation and with enough power to put people in a severe coma at 10%. The only downside being that he can only use one ability at a time. All of this coming from a lab accident with "Parker Particles," described by Reed as a hyper-kinetic form of energy tied directly to the expansion of the universe, providing near-limitless power (and being Marvel's equivalent to dark energy.)
* SuperSenses: Can see down to the molecular level and hear things happening all over the world.
* TookALevelInBadass: A more subtle example, but after he got repowered, Andrew discovers that his senses have now been heighted to where he could see things at a molecular levels and hear things across the world.

John Jameson is an astronaut, a test pilot and for his father J. Jonah Jameson the archetype of a true hero unlike these “masked clowns” like Spider-Man. John has also been transformed into a Werewolf-like creature called the Man-Wolf, and was once host to the Carnage Symbiote.
----
* AcePilot: John is a skilled pilot and experienced astronaut.

* ClingyMacGuffin: The moonstone turning John into the Man-Wolf. In the story where he fought Carnage, it's stated that his body chemistry is [[CantStayNormal permanently altered to recreate it whenever it's destroyed]].
* ContainmentClothing: As Colonel Jupiter a combination of lack of control over his new strength and his body being under physical strain necessitated the creation of a suit to correct for both.
* DiscardAndDraw: Had a single issue as Captain Jupiter before being depowered and, later on in an entirely unrelated story, became empowered as Stargod.
* {{Heavyworlder}}: The theme behind his single issue stint as Colonel Jupiter. Spores from the eponymous planet made him grow larger, denser and strong to the point that attempting to stand up launched him through a brick wall. Notably his body didn't have the [[RequiredSecondaryPowers secondary effects]] to handle this change, and the strain put his body at risk until a special suit was devised to correct it.
* HeelFaceTurn
* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight
* InvoluntaryShapeshifter: Whenever there was a full moon, the ruby would force him to transform into Man-Wolf.
* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: He was transformed by a ruby he found on the moon into Man-Wolf. He was later transported to the dimension the ruby originated in, where he became Stargod. (Still a man-wolf, but with Jameson's intelligence and personality).
** TotallyNotAWerewolf: Man-Wolf is not a werewolf either but has an alien weapon that makes him look like a wolfman. He is considered a godly savior by said aliens.
* PhysicalGod: As Stargod.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: When empowered by spores from Jupiter he was transformed into a physical powerhouse but it also eventually made him psychotic.

Frog-Man is Eugene Patilio, the son of the former super-villain Leap-Frog, who hoped to do good and become a hero. He clumsily tried to battle crime to redeem his father's name. His only "power" is the ability to leap great distances with electrical coils in his boots.
----
* TheDutifulSon: Son of the retired small-time villain Vincent Patilio, alias [[Characters/DaredevilCentralRoguesGallery Leap-Frog]]. After learning how Vincent was haunted by his inept past as the Leap-Frog, Eugene decided to take up his father's mantle and try his hand at superheroics, in a bid to clean up their legacy. Even before this, much of Eugene's after-school time was taken up by his part-time job, to help support the struggling household.
* TheFool: He has difficulty asserting any real control over his father's old suit, and tends to bounce around uncontrollably. Nonetheless, he still usually manages to succeed at taking down his targets through sheer blind luck.
* NeverBeAHero: Defied. When Johnny Storm, [[ComicBook/FantasticFour the Human Torch]], advised Eugene to give up after his first outing, Eugene rejected this notion, on the grounds that he was the one to have taken down Speed Demon, where Johnny and Spider-Man had failed. As Eugene walks away with his father, the two veteran heroes muse that, while they don't think Eugene's decision to be wise, they nevertheless admire him for putting his life on the line for his father.
* WellDoneSonGuy: After Eugene's successful debut as a hero, Vincent amusedly wonders aloud what he's going to do with a son like Eugene. Eugene's response? To love him. The pair then cheerfully leave the scene together.

One of Peter's co-workers at Horizon Labs, Sajani Jaffrey was cold, pragmatic, and ambitious. Following Horizon being bought up by Alchemax, she was hired by Peter Parker, but repeatedly undermined his authority to work on her own unauthorized side-projects, and even outright betrayed him. She strongly dislikes Spider-Man, and was the one who forbade Peter from supplying Spider-Man with Parker Industries tech.
----
* TheBusCameBack: In a sense; [[spoiler:After being fired by Peter, she vanished for a while, but got a brief mention at the beginning of [[ComicBook/NickSpencersSpiderMan Nick Spencer's run]], with a reporter saying that she was claiming to be [[StealingTheCredit the real brains behind Parker Industries]], and was planning to sue Peter alongside many others.]]
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Sajani double-crosses and subverts Peter repeatedly, and while he still writes her pay checks. [[spoiler:He even puts her in charge of her own facility in the rebooted universe, but when Zodiac starts trying to steal his company's tech he makes it doubly clear that he won't tolerate her betraying him again.]]
* FrameUp: [[spoiler:Otto's mind (hidden in the Living Brain) frames her for him having the Parker Industries nanotech used on all the security cameras in London, resulting in Peter firing her for supposedly going behind his back again.]]
* MultidisciplinaryScientist: She's an expert in xenotech, biology, and chemistry.
* NeverMyFault: After her attempt to strike a deal with the Ghost almost gets her killed, she decides it's all Peter's fault.
* NotMeThisTime: Well sorta. [[spoiler: Doc Ock in the Living Brain ends up framing up her with the intent on getting fired and it works.]] Given everything she did to Peter in the past at him and while he's Spider-Man, it's unsurprising that he holds little trust in her.
* RememberTheNewGuy: She's one of Peter's classmates at Midtown High in the retcon-heavy interquel series ''Spidey''. Peter's also depicted as knowing and interacting with her, unlike the similarly retconned ComicBook/JessicaJones or [[ComicBook/{{Silk}} Cindy Moon]].
* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: She tries to sell Peter out to the Ghost, and is almost killed. Fortunately, Spider-Man saves her.

A chemistry and physics tutor who offers her help to Otto Octavius/Peter Parker.
----
* AnimalStereotypes: After Peter's and Cindy's intimacy gets on her nerves, she takes a squirt bottle to them and [[DeadpanSnarker says that as long as they act like dogs in heat she'll treat them as such]].
* TheBeard: After Peter regains control of his body, Anna keeps up the facade that the two are still dating in order to help him run the company Otto started and even once that drops she keeps his acts as Spider-Man logical and easily explained.
* BrutalHonesty: A softer example, but she does often cut out lies Peter tells before they can spiral out of control from him trying to cover them up--though she'll leave out parts that ''need'' to be secret, like telling Aunt May they've broken up and remain AmicableExes without mentioning the brain-swapping and admitting he has a secret entrance for Spider-Man and is still giving him tech to Sanjay, but not that he is him.
* DamselInDistress: During the "Goblin Nation" arc she is kidnapped as a deliberate call-back to Gwen Stacy.
* ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies: In an odd way - Peter tells Anna Maria of the truth between him and Doc Ock and what their relationship was. She actually takes it in stride and doesn't get cheesed off. At least, not at Peter.
* LovingAShadow: After learning the truth, she comes to realize she was in this situation with Otto. The man she loved wasn't really Otto Octavius, but Otto Octavius pretending to be Peter Parker. When prompted by the Living Brain (who, unbeknownst to her, had a copy of Otto's brain patterns within it), she states that she could never love the real Otto, as he was a criminal madman who threatened the entire world.
* MoralityPet: For Otto.
* NiceGal: Towards Peter.
* PluckyGirl: Part of what attracts Otto. The way she handles the truth shows a lot of signs of this as well.
* ShipperOnDeck: She tells a clueless Peter that Mockingbird (Bobbi Morse) is apparently interested in him. She wraps her arm around his to get Bobbi jealous.
* ShorterMeansSmarter: She has dwarfism, but still manages to attract Otto with her intelligence.
* SoProudOfYou: She admits that while [=SpOck=] was more smooth and sexier than Peter was, the fact that he rescued Electro from Ock's workings and [[BroughtDownToNormal depowered]] him to save his life makes her so happy to be his friend.
* RobotMe: Ock creates a holographic companion based off of her in ''ComicBook/SpiderVerse''.
* VillainHasAPoint: She maintains that Otto's policy of leaving street-crime to the normal cops was more efficient than Peter's policy of trying to do everything himself.

The certified Super Genius of the 4, and TeamDad with his ability to think his way out of the many problems they face. Reed grew up an extremely intelligent man. In fact, it was his idea to take the shuttle flight to study cosmic rays that day. After that fateful encounter, he gained the ability to stretch and mold his body however he could want. Whether that's sliding through a rivet hole or turning his body into a ball. Regardless, his brain will always be his best weapon to fight supervillains.

Sue is fiercely devoted to the family around her, but that often can rub shoulders with Ben on his grumpier days, and she's more often annoyed at her brother Johnny's antics sometimes as well. And don't get her started on the frustrations she can have with her now husband over spending quality time with the family.

Ben Grimm was Reed's college roommate, and when Reed needed someone to fly a ship into space despite the risks of cosmic radiation, he went to Ben, who initially refused and had to be goaded into flying the rocket. The rays afflicted Ben more severely than everyone else, turning him into a rocklike humanoid. Despite Reed's best efforts, he's consistently proven unable to revert Ben back to his normal human self for very long, something that causes both men no end of grief. Meanwhile, even with his condition, Ben has managed to become an "idol o' millions" thanks to his stalwart nature and good heart (constant bickering with Johnny aside).

!!! '''First Appearance:''' ''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #692 (October, 2012)
--> ''"Put the knife down and let the lady go. Sweet. I just said that thing super heroes say!"''
An average fifteen-year-old given extraordinary abilities by an experiment gone wrong, leading him to become the sidekick to Spider-Man. After misusing his powers in a mission with the Avengers, he was depowered by the web-head. However, he has since been repowered by Doc Ock possessing Peter Parker's body.
----
* ArchEnemy: Has one named Zeta, who is a tumor-like beast. He's also [[spoiler: the mugger that Alpha nearly killed.]] Alpha asked Spider-Man to help finish him, but some of Zeta's cancerous tissues escapes, meaning he will be back again.
* TheAtoner: In the ''Alpha: Big Time'' mini-series he really wants to make up for his mistakes. When he [[spoiler: believed he killed a mugger by accident]] he was ready to get arrested and depowered again.
* BarrierWarrior: Can protect himself with forcefields.
* {{Blackmail}}: He's currently being blackmailed by "Boss" Cohen, the crimelord of Pittsburgh over the incident above in TheAtoner. And this was after Cohen attempted to kill his mother through a fire and then targeted his LoveInterest.
* ButtMonkey: Without his powers (and the confidence boost that comes with them) he is pretty much this.
** His life has been steadily getting worse as his parents have divorced (which perhaps his homelife may not been as good as first assumed) and he is currently being blackmailed by a crimelord while trying to be the protector of Pittsburgh.
* CannotTalkToWomen: Before he got his powers.
* CharacterShilling: Assessed by Reed to potentially be the first Alpha-level threat, which puts him above the Hulk, Sentry and even the Phoenix in terms of power level.
** Turns out this is because his "power source," Parker Particles, are tied to the ''expansion of the universe.'' It certainly explains why he can be a danger.
* CreateYourOwnVillain: Zeta appears to be the result of his ill-controlled powers mutating someone into a tumor-like abomination. [[spoiler: Said someone was the mugger.]]
* DePower: Spider-Man eventually decided Alpha was too irresponsible for his power and used Terminus' lance to depower Alpha after too much collateral damage.
** This was undone by the Superior Spider-Man (Doc Ock) who was gradually repowering Andrew during his weekly Horizon Labs test in the hopes of taking that power for himself.
* HeroWithBadPublicity: After his actions as Alpha, no one has a good image of him. The kids at his school think he is a freak and the adults think he is a doofy kid.
* InstantExpert: During his first appearances it looked like this was the case since he was kicking ass even outshining Thor, but then you realize that all his first fights were against giant monsters and when the time came for him to stop a regular burglar, this trope is subverted.
** He would get depowered as he was too reckless against Terminus and Peter decided it wasn't worth it.
* {{Jerkass}}: He became the total package after getting his powers.
** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He became a nicer person and trying to do good after being de-powered. Heck, as seen with TheAtoner, he's more willing to try and take responsibility.
* JumpedAtTheCall: The day he got powers was his best day ever, although he jumped more because of the fame and noteworthiness rather than his desire to help.
** But later in his mini, it was revealed that deep inside [[IJustWantToBeNormal he just wants to be normal]]. Given how things are going worse for him, not hard to blame him.
* JuniorCounterpart: He is somewhat like Peter Parker back when he got his powers, but before losing Uncle Ben. He wanted to use his powers for fame and profit.
* KidHero: He's still in high school.
* LameComeback: After recovering his powers, he finds himself struggling with responses to other people.
* LeftHanging: His mini introduced a number of plot threads that seem unlikely to be resolved as time goes by: a local crime boss is blackmailing him into ignoring his crimes, his love interest he finally began talking to is too scared to be around him because aforementioned boss threatened her, and his Mom who he revived from an attempted hit is now infected with his power, which has a cancerous mutating effect on everyone that isn't him.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: He must be related to [[Film/SpiderManTrilogy Tobey Maguire]] although maybe his parents are more fans of [[Creator/AndrewGarfield Andrew]] [[Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan Garfield]].
* OnlyFriend: Duncan Kilgore is his confidant and only non-superhuman friend.
* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: Like Peter Parker once was. Unlike Peter though, he was even more average, being a C- student and having little motivation.
* TheScrappy: Both in-universe and in real life, to where it seems almost intentional. He was doomed to become this since the beginning (something his creator Dan Slott kinda expected it seems), first announced as Spider-Man's new sidekick to light the fire of the fandom (who despised the sole idea of Spidey joining the Avengers, let alone getting a sidekick), then wrote him as a complete Jerkass with no redeemable qualities and to top it all, making him a GodModeSue who is shown to be stronger than [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]] in one fight. Even now when he's getting some better characterization in his mini, people still cry why did he get a mini instead of being thrown at [[ComicBook/AvengersArena "The Arena"]].
* SecretIdentity: He didn't have one at the beginning. After getting his powers back, he tries to have one but unfortunately for him, everybody recognizes him and not in a good way.
* ShooOutTheNewGuy: A perfect example (although he does come back later). He's even accused of being a "Poochie" (alternate name for this trope) in-universe.
* SuperpowerLottery: Let's see, flight, energy blasts, nigh-invulnerability, low-level telekinesis, matter manipulation and with enough power to put people in a severe coma at 10%. The only downside being that he can only use one ability at a time. All of this coming from a lab accident with "Parker Particles," described by Reed as a hyper-kinetic form of energy tied directly to the expansion of the universe, providing near-limitless power (and being Marvel's equivalent to dark energy.)
* SuperSenses: Can see down to the molecular level and hear things happening all over the world.
* TookALevelInBadass: A more subtle example, but after he got repowered, Andrew discovers that his senses have now been heighted to where he could see things at a molecular levels and hear things across the world.

* ClingyMacGuffin: The moonstone turning John into the Man-Wolf. In the story where he fought Carnage, it's stated that his body chemistry is [[CantStayNormal permanently altered to recreate it whenever it's destroyed]].
* ContainmentClothing: As Colonel Jupiter a combination of lack of control over his new strength and his body being under physical strain necessitated the creation of a suit to correct for both.
* DiscardAndDraw: Had a single issue as Captain Jupiter before being depowered and, later on in an entirely unrelated story, became empowered as Stargod.
* {{Heavyworlder}}: The theme behind his single issue stint as Colonel Jupiter. Spores from the eponymous planet made him grow larger, denser and strong to the point that attempting to stand up launched him through a brick wall. Notably his body didn't have the [[RequiredSecondaryPowers secondary effects]] to handle this change, and the strain put his body at risk until a special suit was devised to correct it.

!!! '''Alter Ego:''' Eugene Patilio
!!! '''First Appearance:''' ''Marvel Team-Up'' Vol. 1 #121 (September, 1982)
Frog-Man is Eugene Patilio, the son of the former super-villain Leap-Frog, who hoped to do good and become a hero. He clumsily tried to battle crime to redeem his father's name. His only "power" is the ability to leap great distances with electrical coils in his boots.
----
* TheDutifulSon: Son of the retired small-time villain Vincent Patilio, alias [[Characters/DaredevilCentralRoguesGallery Leap-Frog]]. After learning how Vincent was haunted by his inept past as the Leap-Frog, Eugene decided to take up his father's mantle and try his hand at superheroics, in a bid to clean up their legacy. Even before this, much of Eugene's after-school time was taken up by his part-time job, to help support the struggling household.
* TheFool: He has difficulty asserting any real control over his father's old suit, and tends to bounce around uncontrollably. Nonetheless, he still usually manages to succeed at taking down his targets through sheer blind luck.
* NeverBeAHero: Defied. When Johnny Storm, [[ComicBook/FantasticFour the Human Torch]], advised Eugene to give up after his first outing, Eugene rejected this notion, on the grounds that he was the one to have taken down Speed Demon, where Johnny and Spider-Man had failed. As Eugene walks away with his father, the two veteran heroes muse that, while they don't think Eugene's decision to be wise, they nevertheless admire him for putting his life on the line for his father.
* WellDoneSonGuy: After Eugene's successful debut as a hero, Vincent amusedly wonders aloud what he's going to do with a son like Eugene. Eugene's response? To love him. The pair then cheerfully leave the scene together.

Hobie wanted to be noticed for his genius after feeling stuck as a window washer. He invented several gadgets to make the work easier, but his boss wouldn't listen to his ideas. Modifying the look, the outfit for cleaning windows eventually became a costume that Hobie dubbed the Prowler. While at first torn up about whether the Prowler would be a hero or villain, Hobie thought he'd compromise by having the Prowler steal, while Hobie Brown returned the goods later. However, when stopped by Spider-Man, Hobie realized that the life of a villain wasn't for him, and soon became the wall-crawler's steadfast ally. He is currently Parker Industries' chief-of-security, and masquerades as Spider-Man when Peter is out of town.

Whether that's sliding through a rivet hole or turning his body into a ball. Regardless, his brain will always be his best weapon to fight supervillains. Of course, that same brain can sometime infuriate the family, as it can lead him to alienating the others when he gets too caught up in an experiment or not listening to others.

!!! '''First Appearance:''' ''The Fantastic Four'' #1 (November 1961)
The TeamMom of the 4, "Sue" was originally just Reed's girl. In fact she first fell for him before finishing puberty, and slowly grew into his life. Her initial powers seemed to just be invisibility, but after some much needed growth and practice, that was upgraded into "projecting" that invisibility into force fields. Sue is fiercely devoted to the family around her, but that often can rub shoulders with Ben on his grumpier days, and she's more often annoyed at her brother Johnny's antics sometimes as well. And don't get her started on the frustrations she can have with her now husband over spending quality time with the family. Despite the rough patches though, Sue will do whatever it takes to ensure the world and her home is kept safe. See [[ComicBook/InvisibleWoman The Invisible Woman]] for more info.

An impulsive (and soon, literal) hothead of the 4, Johnny is the younger brother of Sue Storm, the Invisible Woman. A classic case of [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks Silver Age]] science fiction, Johnny was part of an outer space expedition that —alongside Sue, her boyfriend Dr. Reed Richards, and his associate Ben Grimm— granted him special powers via cosmic radiation. In his case, Johnny gained [[PlayingWithFire fire-based abilities]], including [[FlyingFirepower flight]].

Perhaps the most iconic of the 4, simply because of his visual distinctiveness. Ben Grimm was Reed's college roommate, and when Reed needed someone to fly a ship into space despite the risks of cosmic radiation, he went to Ben, who initially refused and had to be goaded into flying the rocket. The rays afflicted Ben more severely than everyone else, turning him into a rocklike humanoid. Despite Reed's best efforts, he's consistently proven unable to revert Ben back to his normal human self for very long, something that causes both men no end of grief. Meanwhile, even with his condition, Ben has managed to become an "idol o' millions" thanks to his stalwart nature and good heart (constant bickering with Johnny aside).

!!! '''Alter Ego:''' Andrew Maguire
!!! '''First Appearance:''' ''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #692 (October, 2012)
--> ''"Put the knife down and let the lady go. Sweet. I just said that thing super heroes say!"''
An average fifteen-year-old given extraordinary abilities by an experiment gone wrong, leading him to become the sidekick to Spider-Man. After misusing his powers in a mission with the Avengers, he was depowered by the web-head. However, he has since been repowered by Doc Ock possessing Peter Parker's body.
----
* ArchEnemy: Has one named Zeta, who is a tumor-like beast. He's also [[spoiler: the mugger that Alpha nearly killed.]] Alpha asked Spider-Man to help finish him, but some of Zeta's cancerous tissues escapes, meaning he will be back again.
* TheAtoner: In the ''Alpha: Big Time'' mini-series he really wants to make up for his mistakes. When he [[spoiler: believed he killed a mugger by accident]] he was ready to get arrested and depowered again.
* BarrierWarrior: Can protect himself with forcefields.
* {{Blackmail}}: He's currently being blackmailed by "Boss" Cohen, the crimelord of Pittsburgh over the incident above in TheAtoner. And this was after Cohen attempted to kill his mother through a fire and then targeted his LoveInterest.
* ButtMonkey: Without his powers (and the confidence boost that comes with them) he is pretty much this.
** His life has been steadily getting worse as his parents have divorced (which perhaps his homelife may not been as good as first assumed) and he is currently being blackmailed by a crimelord while trying to be the protector of Pittsburgh.
* CannotTalkToWomen: Before he got his powers.
* CharacterShilling: Assessed by Reed to potentially be the first Alpha-level threat, which puts him above the Hulk, Sentry and even the Phoenix in terms of power level.
** Turns out this is because his "power source," Parker Particles, are tied to the ''expansion of the universe.'' It certainly explains why he can be a danger.
* CreateYourOwnVillain: Zeta appears to be the result of his ill-controlled powers mutating someone into a tumor-like abomination. [[spoiler: Said someone was the mugger.]]
* DePower: Spider-Man eventually decided Alpha was too irresponsible for his power and used Terminus' lance to depower Alpha after too much collateral damage.
** This was undone by the Superior Spider-Man (Doc Ock) who was gradually repowering Andrew during his weekly Horizon Labs test in the hopes of taking that power for himself.
* HeroWithBadPublicity: After his actions as Alpha, no one has a good image of him. The kids at his school think he is a freak and the adults think he is a doofy kid.
* InstantExpert: During his first appearances it looked like this was the case since he was kicking ass even outshining Thor, but then you realize that all his first fights were against giant monsters and when the time came for him to stop a regular burglar, this trope is subverted.
** He would get depowered as he was too reckless against Terminus and Peter decided it wasn't worth it.
* {{Jerkass}}: He became the total package after getting his powers.
** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He became a nicer person and trying to do good after being de-powered. Heck, as seen with TheAtoner, he's more willing to try and take responsibility.
* JumpedAtTheCall: The day he got powers was his best day ever, although he jumped more because of the fame and noteworthiness rather than his desire to help.
** But later in his mini, it was revealed that deep inside [[IJustWantToBeNormal he just wants to be normal]]. Given how things are going worse for him, not hard to blame him.
* JuniorCounterpart: He is somewhat like Peter Parker back when he got his powers, but before losing Uncle Ben. He wanted to use his powers for fame and profit.
* KidHero: He's still in high school.
* LameComeback: After recovering his powers, he finds himself struggling with responses to other people.
* LeftHanging: His mini introduced a number of plot threads that seem unlikely to be resolved as time goes by: a local crime boss is blackmailing him into ignoring his crimes, his love interest he finally began talking to is too scared to be around him because aforementioned boss threatened her, and his Mom who he revived from an attempted hit is now infected with his power, which has a cancerous mutating effect on everyone that isn't him.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: He must be related to [[Film/SpiderManTrilogy Tobey Maguire]] although maybe his parents are more fans of [[Creator/AndrewGarfield Andrew]] [[Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan Garfield]].
* OnlyFriend: Duncan Kilgore is his confidant and only non-superhuman friend.
* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: Like Peter Parker once was. Unlike Peter though, he was even more average, being a C- student and having little motivation.
* TheScrappy: Both in-universe and in real life, to where it seems almost intentional. He was doomed to become this since the beginning (something his creator Dan Slott kinda expected it seems), first announced as Spider-Man's new sidekick to light the fire of the fandom (who despised the sole idea of Spidey joining the Avengers, let alone getting a sidekick), then wrote him as a complete Jerkass with no redeemable qualities and to top it all, making him a GodModeSue who is shown to be stronger than [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]] in one fight. Even now when he's getting some better characterization in his mini, people still cry why did he get a mini instead of being thrown at [[ComicBook/AvengersArena "The Arena"]].
* SecretIdentity: He didn't have one at the beginning. After getting his powers back, he tries to have one but unfortunately for him, everybody recognizes him and not in a good way.
* ShooOutTheNewGuy: A perfect example (although he does come back later). He's even accused of being a "Poochie" (alternate name for this trope) in-universe.
* SuperpowerLottery: Let's see, flight, energy blasts, nigh-invulnerability, low-level telekinesis, matter manipulation and with enough power to put people in a severe coma at 10%. The only downside being that he can only use one ability at a time. All of this coming from a lab accident with "Parker Particles," described by Reed as a hyper-kinetic form of energy tied directly to the expansion of the universe, providing near-limitless power (and being Marvel's equivalent to dark energy.)
* SuperSenses: Can see down to the molecular level and hear things happening all over the world.
* TookALevelInBadass: A more subtle example, but after he got repowered, Andrew discovers that his senses have now been heighted to where he could see things at a molecular levels and hear things across the world.

* ContainmentClothing: As Colonel Jupiter a combination of lack of control over his new strength and his body being under physical strain necessitated the creation of a suit to correct for both.
* DiscardAndDraw: Had a single issue as Captain Jupiter before being depowered and, later on in an entirely unrelated story, became empowered as Stargod.
* {{Heavyworlder}}: The theme behind his single issue stint as Colonel Jupiter. Spores from the eponymous planet made him grow larger, denser and strong to the point that attempting to stand up launched him through a brick wall. Notably his body didn't have the [[RequiredSecondaryPowers secondary effects]] to handle this change, and the strain put his body at risk until a special suit was devised to correct it.
* HeelFaceTurn
* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight
* InvoluntaryShapeshifter: Whenever there was a full moon, the ruby would force him to transform into Man-Wolf.
* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: He was transformed by a ruby he found on the moon into Man-Wolf. He was later transported to the dimension the ruby originated in, where he became Stargod. (Still a man-wolf, but with Jameson's intelligence and personality).

* PhysicalGod: As Stargod.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: When empowered by spores from Jupiter he was transformed into a physical powerhouse but it also eventually made him psychotic.

After learning how Vincent was haunted by his inept past as the Leap-Frog, Eugene decided to take up his father's mantle and try his hand at superheroics, in a bid to clean up their legacy. Even before this, much of Eugene's after-school time was taken up by his part-time job, to help support the struggling household.
* TheFool: He has difficulty asserting any real control over his father's old suit, and tends to bounce around uncontrollably. Nonetheless, he still usually manages to succeed at taking down his targets through sheer blind luck.
* NeverBeAHero: Defied. When Johnny Storm, [[ComicBook/FantasticFour the Human Torch]], advised Eugene to give up after his first outing, Eugene rejected this notion, on the grounds that he was the one to have taken down Speed Demon, where Johnny and Spider-Man had failed. As Eugene walks away with his father, the two veteran heroes muse that, while they don't think Eugene's decision to be wise, they nevertheless admire him for putting his life on the line for his father.

!!! '''First Appearance:''' ''Amazing Spider-Man'' # 648 (January, 2011)
One of Peter's co-workers at Horizon Labs, Sajani Jaffrey was cold, pragmatic, and ambitious. Following Horizon being bought up by Alchemax, she was hired by Peter Parker, but repeatedly undermined his authority to work on her own unauthorized side-projects, and even outright betrayed him. She strongly dislikes Spider-Man, and was the one who forbade Peter from supplying Spider-Man with Parker Industries tech.
----
* TheBusCameBack: In a sense; [[spoiler:After being fired by Peter, she vanished for a while, but got a brief mention at the beginning of [[ComicBook/NickSpencersSpiderMan Nick Spencer's run]], with a reporter saying that she was claiming to be [[StealingTheCredit the real brains behind Parker Industries]], and was planning to sue Peter alongside many others.]]
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Sajani double-crosses and subverts Peter repeatedly, and while he still writes her pay checks. [[spoiler:He even puts her in charge of her own facility in the rebooted universe, but when Zodiac starts trying to steal his company's tech he makes it doubly clear that he won't tolerate her betraying him again.]]
* FrameUp: [[spoiler:Otto's mind (hidden in the Living Brain) frames her for him having the Parker Industries nanotech used on all the security cameras in London, resulting in Peter firing her for supposedly going behind his back again.]]
* MultidisciplinaryScientist: She's an expert in xenotech, biology, and chemistry.
* NeverMyFault: After her attempt to strike a deal with the Ghost almost gets her killed, she decides it's all Peter's fault.
* NotMeThisTime: Well sorta. [[spoiler: Doc Ock in the Living Brain ends up framing up her with the intent on getting fired and it works.]] Given everything she did to Peter in the past at him and while he's Spider-Man, it's unsurprising that he holds little trust in her.
* RememberTheNewGuy: She's one of Peter's classmates at Midtown High in the retcon-heavy interquel series ''Spidey''. Peter's also depicted as knowing and interacting with her, unlike the similarly retconned ComicBook/JessicaJones or [[ComicBook/{{Silk}} Cindy Moon]].
* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: She tries to sell Peter out to the Ghost, and is almost killed. Fortunately, Spider-Man saves her.

A chemistry and physics tutor who offers her help to Otto Octavius/Peter Parker.
----
* AnimalStereotypes: After Peter's and Cindy's intimacy gets on her nerves, she takes a squirt bottle to them and [[DeadpanSnarker says that as long as they act like dogs in heat she'll treat them as such]].
* TheBeard: After Peter regains control of his body, Anna keeps up the facade that the two are still dating in order to help him run the company Otto started and even once that drops she keeps his acts as Spider-Man logical and easily explained.
* BrutalHonesty: A softer example, but she does often cut out lies Peter tells before they can spiral out of control from him trying to cover them up--though she'll leave out parts that ''need'' to be secret, like telling Aunt May they've broken up and remain AmicableExes without mentioning the brain-swapping and admitting he has a secret entrance for Spider-Man and is still giving him tech to Sanjay, but not that he is him.
* DamselInDistress: During the "Goblin Nation" arc she is kidnapped as a deliberate call-back to Gwen Stacy.
* ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies: In an odd way - Peter tells Anna Maria of the truth between him and Doc Ock and what their relationship was. She actually takes it in stride and doesn't get cheesed off. At least, not at Peter.
* LovingAShadow: After learning the truth, she comes to realize she was in this situation with Otto. The man she loved wasn't really Otto Octavius, but Otto Octavius pretending to be Peter Parker. When prompted by the Living Brain (who, unbeknownst to her, had a copy of Otto's brain patterns within it), she states that she could never love the real Otto, as he was a criminal madman who threatened the entire world.
* MoralityPet: For Otto.
* NiceGal: Towards Peter.
* PluckyGirl: Part of what attracts Otto. The way she handles the truth shows a lot of signs of this as well.
* ShipperOnDeck: She tells a clueless Peter that Mockingbird (Bobbi Morse) is apparently interested in him. She wraps her arm around his to get Bobbi jealous.
* ShorterMeansSmarter: She has dwarfism, but still manages to attract Otto with her intelligence.
* SoProudOfYou: She admits that while [=SpOck=] was more smooth and sexier than Peter was, the fact that he rescued Electro from Ock's workings and [[BroughtDownToNormal depowered]] him to save his life makes her so happy to be his friend.
* RobotMe: Ock creates a holographic companion based off of her in ''ComicBook/SpiderVerse''.
* VillainHasAPoint: She maintains that Otto's policy of leaving street-crime to the normal cops was more efficient than Peter's policy of trying to do everything himself.

* AnimalStereotypes: After Peter's and Cindy's intimacy gets on her nerves, she takes a squirt bottle to them and [[DeadpanSnarker says that as long as they act like dogs in heat she'll treat them as such]].
* TheBeard: After Peter regains control of his body, Anna keeps up the facade that the two are still dating in order to help him run the company Otto started and even once that drops she keeps his acts as Spider-Man logical and easily explained.
* BrutalHonesty: A softer example, but she does often cut out lies Peter tells before they can spiral out of control from him trying to cover them up--though she'll leave out parts that ''need'' to be secret, like telling Aunt May they've broken up and remain AmicableExes without mentioning the brain-swapping and admitting he has a secret entrance for Spider-Man and is still giving him tech to Sanjay, but not that he is him.
* DamselInDistress: During the "Goblin Nation" arc she is kidnapped as a deliberate call-back to Gwen Stacy.

--> ''"Put the knife down and let the lady go. Sweet. I just said that thing super heroes say!"''
An average fifteen-year-old given extraordinary abilities by an experiment gone wrong, leading him to become the sidekick to Spider-Man. After misusing his powers in a mission with the Avengers, he was depowered by the web-head. However, he has since been repowered by Doc Ock possessing Peter Parker's body.
* ArchEnemy: Has one named Zeta, who is a tumor-like beast. He's also [[spoiler: the mugger that Alpha nearly killed.]] Alpha asked Spider-Man to help finish him, but some of Zeta's cancerous tissues escapes, meaning he will be back again.
* TheAtoner: In the ''Alpha: Big Time'' mini-series he really wants to make up for his mistakes. When he [[spoiler: believed he killed a mugger by accident]] he was ready to get arrested and depowered again.
* BarrierWarrior: Can protect himself with forcefields.
* {{Blackmail}}: He's currently being blackmailed by "Boss" Cohen, the crimelord of Pittsburgh over the incident above in TheAtoner. And this was after Cohen attempted to kill his mother through a fire and then targeted his LoveInterest.
* ButtMonkey: Without his powers (and the confidence boost that comes with them) he is pretty much this.
** His life has been steadily getting worse as his parents have divorced (which perhaps his homelife may not been as good as first assumed) and he is currently being blackmailed by a crimelord while trying to be the protector of Pittsburgh.
* CannotTalkToWomen: Before he got his powers.
* CharacterShilling: Assessed by Reed to potentially be the first Alpha-level threat, which puts him above the Hulk, Sentry and even the Phoenix in terms of power level.
** Turns out this is because his "power source," Parker Particles, are tied to the ''expansion of the universe.'' It certainly explains why he can be a danger.
* CreateYourOwnVillain: Zeta appears to be the result of his ill-controlled powers mutating someone into a tumor-like abomination. [[spoiler: Said someone was the mugger.]]
* DePower: Spider-Man eventually decided Alpha was too irresponsible for his power and used Terminus' lance to depower Alpha after too much collateral damage.
** This was undone by the Superior Spider-Man (Doc Ock) who was gradually repowering Andrew during his weekly Horizon Labs test in the hopes of taking that power for himself.
* HeroWithBadPublicity: After his actions as Alpha, no one has a good image of him. The kids at his school think he is a freak and the adults think he is a doofy kid.
* InstantExpert: During his first appearances it looked like this was the case since he was kicking ass even outshining Thor, but then you realize that all his first fights were against giant monsters and when the time came for him to stop a regular burglar, this trope is subverted.
** He would get depowered as he was too reckless agaisnt Terminus and Peter decided it wasn't worth it.
* {{Jerkass}}: He became the total package after getting his powers.
** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He became a nicer person and trying to do good after being de-powered. Heck, as seen with TheAtoner, he's more willing to try and take responsability.
* JumpedAtTheCall: The day he got powers was his best day ever, although he jumped more because of the fame and noteworthiness rather than his desire to help.
** But later in his mini, it was revealed that deep inside [[IJustWantToBeNormal he just wants to be normal]]. Given how things are going worse for him, not hard to blame him.
* JuniorCounterpart: He is somewhat like Peter Parker back when he got his powers, but before losing Uncle Ben. He wanted to use his powers for fame and profit.
* KidHero: He's still in high school.
* LameComeback: After recovering his powers, he finds himself struggling with responses to other people.
* LeftHanging: His mini introduced a number of plot threads that seem unlikely to be resolved as time goes by: a local crime boss is blackmailing him into ignoring his crimes, his love interest he finally began talking to is too scared to be around him because aforementioned boss threatened her, and his Mom who he revived from an attempted hit is now infected with his power, which has a cancerous mutating effect on everyone that isn't him.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: He must be related to [[Film/SpiderManTrilogy Tobey Maguire]] although maybe his parents are more fans of [[Creator/AndrewGarfield Andrew]] [[Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan Garfield]].
* OnlyFriend: Duncan Kilgore is his confidant and only non-superhuman friend.
* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: Like Peter Parker once was. Unlike Peter though, he was even more average, being a C- student and having little motivation.
* TheScrappy: Both in-universe and in real life, to where it seems almost intentional. He was doomed to become this since the beginning (something his creator Dan Slott kinda expected it seems), first announced as Spider-Man's new sidekick to light the fire of the fandom (who despised the sole idea of Spidey joining the Avengers, let alone getting a sidekick), then wrote him as a complete Jerkass with no redeemable qualities and to top it all, making him a GodModeSue who is shown to be stronger than [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]] in one fight. Even now when he's getting some better characterization in his mini, people still cry why did he get a mini instead of being thrown at [[ComicBook/AvengersArena "The Arena"]].
* SecretIdentity: He didn't have one at the beginning. After getting his powers back, he tries to have one but unfortunately for him, everybody recognizes him and not in a good way.
* ShooOutTheNewGuy: A perfect example (although he does come back later). He's even accused of being a "Poochie" (alternate name for this trope) in-universe.
* SuperpowerLottery: Let's see, flight, energy blasts, nigh-invulnerability, low-level telekinesis, matter manipulation and with enough power to put people in a severe coma at 10%. The only downside being that he can only use one ability at a time. All of this coming from a lab accident with "Parker Particles," described by Reed as a hyper-kinetic form of energy tied directly to the expansion of the universe, providing near-limitless power (and being Marvel's equivalent to dark energy.)
* SuperSenses: Can see down to the molecular level and hear things happening all over the world.
* TookALevelInBadass: A more subtle example, but after he got repowered, Andrew discovers that his senses have now been heighted to where he could see things at a molecular levels and hear things across the world.
* TheAtoner: In the ''Alpha: Big Time'' mini-series he really wants to make up for his mistakes. When he [[spoiler: believed he killed a mugger by accident]] he was ready to get arrested and depowered again.
* BarrierWarrior: Can protect himself with forcefields.
* {{Blackmail}}: He's currently being blackmailed by "Boss" Cohen, the crimelord of Pittsburgh over the incident above in TheAtoner. And this was after Cohen attempted to kill his mother through a fire and then targeted his LoveInterest.

John Jameson is an astronaut, a test pilot and for his father J. Jonah Jameson the archetype of a true hero unlike these “masked clowns” like Spider-man. John has also been transformed into a Werewolf-like creature called the Man-Wolf, and was once host to the Carnage Symbiote.

* ClingyMacGuffin: The moonstone turning John into the Man-Wolf. In the story where he fought Carnage, it's stated that his body chemistry is [[CantStayNormal permanently altered to recreate it whenever it's destroyed]].
* ContainmentClothing: As Colonel Jupiter a combination of lack of control over his new strength and his body being under physical strain necessitated the creation of a suit to correct for both.
* DiscardAndDraw: Had a single issue as Captain Jupiter before being depowered and, later on in an entirely unrelated story, became empowered as Stargod.
* {{Heavyworlder}}: The theme behind his single issue stint as Colonel Jupiter. Spores from the eponymous planet made him grow larger, denser and strong to the point that attempting to stand up launched him through a brick wall. Notably his body didn't have the [[RequiredSecondaryPowers secondary effects]] to handle this change, and the strain put his body at risk until a special suit was devised to correct it.
* HeelFaceTurn
* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight
* InvoluntaryShapeshifter: Whenever there was a full moon, the ruby would force him to transform into Man-Wolf.
* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: He was transformed by a ruby he found on the moon into Man-Wolf. He was later transported to the dimension the ruby originated in, where he became Stargod. (Still a man-wolf, but with Jameson's intelligence & personality).
** TotallyNotAWerewolf: Man-wolf is not a werewolf either but has an alien weapon that makes him look like a wolfman. He is considered a godly savior by said aliens.
* PhysicalGod: As Stargod.

It proves fatal to all they test it on but the pair, who gain superpowers from the event.

Tandy Bowen and Tyrone Johnson, a pair of teenage runaways, are experimented on by the mob, who are trying to create a new drug substitute for heroin. It proves fatal to all they test it on but the pair, who gain superpowers from the event. Tandy can throw daggers of light, which can also purge unhealthy chemicals from a target as well, while Tyrone's powers were originally to suck people into a dark dimension where he would strip them of their light.

Spidey's most frequent team-up, Daredevil has the ultimate in DisabilitySuperpower -- he's blind, but his other senses are [[HyperAwareness superhumanly sharp]]. This is the result of his having been blinded by a radioactive substance whilst rescuing a blind man (oh, the irony) from the path of an oncoming truck. He is also a superb gymnast and martial artist, having been trained from an early age by a mysterious blind sensei called Stick as well as showing him how to control his senses to live normally. His SecretIdentity is that of Matt Murdock, attorney-at-law.

* TheAtoner: In the ''Alpha: Big Time'' mini-series he really wants to make up for his mistakes. When he [[spoiler: believed he killed a mugger by accident]] he was ready to get arrested and depowered again.
* BarrierWarrior: Can protect himself with forcefields.
* {{Blackmail}}: He's currently being blackmailed by "Boss" Cohen, the crimelord of Pittsburgh over the incident above in TheAtoner. And this was after Cohen attempted to kill his mother through a fire and then targeted his LoveInterest.
* ButtMonkey: Without his powers (and the confidence boost that comes with them) he is pretty much this.
** His life has been steadily getting worse as his parents have divorced (which perhaps his homelife may not been as good as first assumed) and he is currently being blackmailed by a crimelord while trying to be the protector of Pittsburgh.
* CannotTalkToWomen: Before he got his powers.
* CharacterShilling: Assessed by Reed to potentially be the first Alpha-level threat, which puts him above the Hulk, Sentry and even the Phoenix in terms of power level.
** Turns out this is because his "power source," Parker Particles, are tied to the ''expansion of the universe.'' It certainly explains why he can be a danger.
* CreateYourOwnVillain: Zeta appears to be the result of his ill-controlled powers mutating someone into a tumor-like abomination. [[spoiler: Said someone was the mugger.]]
* DePower: Spider-Man eventually decided Alpha was too irresponsible for his power and used Terminus' lance to depower Alpha after too much collateral damage.
** This was undone by the Superior Spider-Man (Doc Ock) who was gradually repowering Andrew during his weekly Horizon Labs test in the hopes of taking that power for himself.
* HeroWithBadPublicity: After his actions as Alpha, no one has a good image of him. The kids at his school think he is a freak and the adults think he is a doofy kid.
* InstantExpert: During his first appearances it looked like this was the case since he was kicking ass even outshining Thor, but then you realize that all his first fights were against giant monsters and when the time came for him to stop a regular burglar, this trope is subverted.

* KidHero: He's still in high school.
* LameComeback: After recovering his powers, he finds himself struggling with responses to other people.

Even now when he's getting some better characterization in his mini, people still cry why did he get a mini instead of being thrown at [[ComicBook/AvengersArena "The Arena"]].
* SecretIdentity: He didn't have one at the beginning. After getting his powers back, he tries to have one but unfortunately for him, everybody recognizes him and not in a good way.

!!! '''Alter Ego:''' Tandy Bowen (Dagger) and Tyrone Johnson (Cloak)
!!! '''First Appearance:''' ''Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man'' #64 (March 1982)
Tandy Bowen and Tyrone Johnson, a pair of teenage runaways, are experimented on by the mob, who are trying to create a new drug substitute for heroin. It proves fatal to all they test it on but the pair, who gain superpowers from the event. Tandy can throw daggers of light, which can also purge unhealthy chemicals from a target as well, while Tyrone's powers were originally to suck people into a dark dimension where he would strip them of their light. Together, they battle the drug trade while trying to balance out normal lives.

* CoolOldGuy: He's a captain who likes Spider-Man and approves of Peter dating his daughter even after he had known Peter was Spider-Man.
* DaChief: Da Chief of Police, to be precise.
* ForgottenFallenFriend: His death isn't ''nearly'' as well remembered as [[ComicBook/TheNightGwenStacyDied Gwen's]] and he's often excluded in montage panels showing the people Peter grieves for.
* TheGreatestStoryNeverTold: He knew Peter was Spider-Man and approved of him dating his daughter a fact that Gwen never found out, and which Peter had no independent means to communicate with her, since she hated Spider-Man and blamed him for her father's death. When she died later without Peter gaining closure for his actions, Captain Stacy's story remains untold for good.
* HeroicSacrifice: He was crushed by falling debris while making a DivingSave.
* KilledOffForReal: He's accidentally killed by Doctor Octopus during a fight with Spider-Man.
* ParentalSubstitute: Nearly the same age as Ben Parker and he becomes one for Peter. His death shakes Peter badly albeit more for how it affects Gwen. After her death, Peter's guilt is expounded by the fact that he believed he had failed to honor Captain Stacy's dying wish.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Of the few cops to show trust in Spidey, George was the first. He also approved Peter Parker dating Gwen despite the awareness of his double life.
* SecretSecretKeeper: Upon his introduction, George was determined to figure out Spider-Man's true identity (as he felt it would better make him understand the young hero's motives). Peter made sure to watch his step, but upon his death, George revealed that he had long-since figured out the truth, but kept the secret out of respect.
* YouKilledMyFather: Gwen Stacy blames Spider-Man, wrongfully, for her father's death, a fact that Peter doesn't challenge and correct even if George Stacy never held that attitude himself.

* AnimalStereotypes: After Peter's and Cindy's intimacy gets on her nerves, she takes a squirt bottle to them and [[DeadpanSnarker says that as long as they act like dogs in heat she'll treat them as such]].
* TheBeard: After Peter regains control of his body, Anna keeps up the facade that the two are still dating in order to help him run the company Otto started and even once that drops she keeps his acts as Spider-Man logical and easily explained.
* BrutalHonesty: A softer example, but she does often cut out lies Peter tells before they can spiral out of control from him trying to cover them up--though she'll leave out parts that ''need'' to be secret, like telling Aunt May they've broken up and remain AmicableExes without mentioning the brain-swapping and admitting he has a secret entrance for Spider-Man and is still giving him tech to Sanjay, but not that he is him.
* DamselInDistress: During the "Goblin Nation" arc she is kidnapped as a deliberate call-back to Gwen Stacy.
* ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies: In an odd way - Peter tells Anna Maria of the truth between him and Doc Ock and what their relationship was. She actually takes it in stride and doesn't get cheesed off. At least, not at Peter.
* LovingAShadow: After learning the truth, she comes to realize she was in this situation with Otto. The man she loved wasn't really Otto Octavius, but Otto Octavius pretending to be Peter Parker. When prompted by the Living Brain (who, unbeknownst to her, had a copy of Otto's brain patterns within it), she states that she could never love the real Otto, as he was a criminal madman who threatened the entire world.
* MoralityPet: For Otto.
* NiceGal: Towards Peter.
* PluckyGirl: Part of what attracts Otto. The way she handles the truth shows a lot of signs of this as well.
* ShipperOnDeck: She tells a clueless Peter that Mockingbird (Bobbi Morse) is apparently interested in him. She wraps her arm around his to get Bobbi jealous.
* ShorterMeansSmarter: She has dwarfism, but still manages to attract Otto with her intelligence.
* SoProudOfYou: She admits that while [=SpOck=] was more smooth and sexier than Peter was, the fact that he rescued Electro from Ock's workings and [[BroughtDownToNormal depowered]] him to save his life makes her so happy to be his friend.
* RobotMe: Ock creates a holographic companion based off of her in ''ComicBook/SpiderVerse''.
* VillainHasAPoint: She maintains that Otto's policy of leaving street-crime to the normal cops was more efficient than Peter's policy of trying to do everything himself.
