History Characters / TheSpectacularSpiderMan

* BaldOfEvil: Toomes is an old man, but nevertheless a criminal.

* GrumpyOldMan: His default mood.
* MythologyGag: His red and black color scheme is a homage to his look in Marvel Knights: Spider-Man

* LEGOGenetics: Well, he does use Connors' research.

* CorruptedCharacterCopy: Of Greg Wiesman's creation [[WesternAnimation/Gargoyles David Xanatos]], being a prideful and [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Machiavellian businessmnan]] who is a master at pulling the strings of others to further his own gains. This version of Norman is basically Xanatos if he were bereft of any redeeming qualities, namely his affable conduct and capacity to care for others. The best example is how they treat their respective sons: while Xanatos is willing to swallow his own pride by begging the Gargoyles to save his son Alexander, Norman treats his son Harry terribly [[spoiler:and goes as far as to frame him as the Green Goblin to save his own skin.]]

* CoolLoser: Peter is a nerd that is mocked and bullied relentlessly in high school, but as Flash and later Harry note, somehow attracts the attention and friendship of incredibly pretty girls.

* BadassNormal: It's made deliberately ambiguous whether he's just a highly trained person, or has legitimate super strength. If the former, he's still able to go toe to toe with Spidey. In the four-way brawl between him, Spider-Man, and his rival crime lords, he's the only one without any explicit powers or cybernetic enhancements and yet he was able. tokeep up with all of them.

* BadassNormal: It's made deliberately ambiguous whether he's just a highly trained person, or has legitimate super strength. If the former, he's still able to go toe to toe with Spidey.

* KingpinInHisGym: Demolishes a punching bag while giving orders to Hammerhead.

* YouHaveFailedMe: He has done this too many times with Tombstone and is fed up with him. This results in Hammerhead becoming The Starscream.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Toomes wanted to kill Osborn for stealing his light tech, but it was because of his actions that [[spoiler: Osborn would create the Green Goblin, who would later cause trouble towards Spider-Man]].

* HumbleGoal: In his first appearance, all he wants is to get an apology from Norman. Since this is [[TheUnapologetic Norman Osborn]] we’re talking about, Vulture quickly realizes this is impossible and settles for killing Norman instead.

* TheDragon: He usually serves as this in the Sinister Six and whenever in service to Doctor Octopus. Although, Toomes had animosity towards Octavius in the first episode (which was later retracted thanks to Norman Osborn's BrutalHonesty). When he re-emerged as Doc Ock, Toomes seems to have regarded him as a good comrade. Their shared hatred of Norman ''especially'' helps that.

* BatmanGambit: After being disappearing, Eddie gaslights Peter by sporadically appearing at random spots enough to make it seem as though he's hallucinating. By dressing up as Venom, he finally drives Peter to lead him to where he buried the symbiote so he can free it and become Venom again.

* BerserkButton: It's subtle, but while the symbiote was still bonded with Spider-Man, threatening to remove it from him is one. The symbiote-controlled Spider-Man tries to kill Doctor Octopus when the latter expresses a desire to peel the suit off to study it.

%%* VillainousBreakdown: Eddie has one upon losing the symbiote.

* TallDarkAndSnarky: Only as Spider-Man, just like the comics, though the "tall" part doesn't exactly fit.

* DoingItForTheArt:[[invoked]] Beck seems to view the disguises and special effects he uses for his crimes as akin to acting and is concerned about putting on a good performance.

* TooDumbToLive: You'd think he'd know better than to directly provoke a super human with fire powers who has a grudge against him in his bar.

An extremely energetic student who but commentates the school's football matches.

* BadassNormal: He has no powers other than possibly the prosthesis on his head, but he is still a quite competent enemy and is incredibly durable and stronger than a normal human being. [[spoiler: Not to mention being able to keep up against a trained killer like Silver Sable with nothing but his hard head and a pair of knuckle dusters(and a little help from his driver.)

* AlternateSelf: In ''Across the Spider-Verse'' he joins the Spider-Society, which includes several [[Characters/SpiderManSpiderVerse versions of himself]] including his counterparts from [[WesternAnimation/SpiderMan1967 Earth-67]], [[VideoGame/LEGOMarvelSuperHeroes Earth-13122]], [[Characters/TheSpectacularSpiderMan Earth-26496]] and [[Characters/SpiderManUnlimited Earth-751263]]. The film also uses archive footage of his counterparts from [[Characters/SpiderManTrilogySpiderMan Earth-96283]] and [[Characters/TheAmazingSpiderManSeriesSpiderMan Earth-120703]], while his counterpart from [[Characters/MCUPeterParker Earth-199999]] is directly acknowledged.

* AllLovingHero: He's Spider-Man. He tries to be selfless and altruistic in all situations, feels the need to take the weight of the world's problems upon his shoulders in addition to living an ordinary life, and tries to appeal to the good in even some of his enemies. Of course, he's not exactly perfect in fitting the archetype, on account of having a real human personality.
* AlmightyJanitor: He is a teenage freelance photographer who constantly struggles to help pay his Aunt May's bills.

[[folder:Jean [=DeWolff=]]]
!!Jean [=DeWolff=]
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/IreneBedard

Jean [=DeWolff=] is a police officer for the New York City Police Department partnered with Stan Carter. Unlike Captain Stacy and Carter, she does not consider Spider-Man as much help as most of the criminals he captures wind up being released.

* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Much like in ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan'', this version of Jean is a part of Peter's life in high school instead of after college.
* AdaptationalJobChange: This version is a beat cop, not a captain.
* {{Expy}}: Could be one of [[WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}} Eliza Maza]], as she's a female cop of Native American heritage.
* RaceLift: She is white in the comics, but is Native-American in this adaptation.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: It is mostly because her partner didn't become a serial killer.

[[folder:Stan Carter]]
!!Stan Carter
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ThomasFWilson

Stan Carter is a New York City police officer partnered with Jean [=DeWolff=]. He has a short temper and has shown an appreciation of Spider-Man's vigilantism.

* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Much like in [=DeWolff=], Stan is a part of Peter's life in high school instead of after college.
* AdaptationalJobChange: This version is a beat cop, not a sergeant.
* {{Expy}}: As his partner is Eliza from ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'', he's basically Matt Bluestone.
* HiddenDepths: In one episode, Stan said that Spider-Man hasn't gone "far enough" dealing with criminals. Tellingly, in the comics, he becomes a serial killer whose targets include people he felt were too light on criminals.
* RabidCop: Shown when he screams at Electro to surrender when he refuses to comply, while Jean tries to settle it more peacefully.

[[folder:Miles Warren]]
!!Miles Warren
[[quoteright:229:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Miles_Warren_Spectacular_Spiderman_9538.png]]
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/BrianGeorge

Dr. Miles Warren is a renowned scientist and Professor Aaron Warren's brother.

* CastAsAMask: Steve Blum doesn't voice any of his potential secret identities.

* IntrepidReporter: He is very alert and meticulous in hunting for clues about who Spiderman is, especially in the episode where he is investigating claims Peter is Spiderman.

* TeamRocketWins: Marko spends a large fraction of his screen time trying to pull off a “big score” and being foiled by Spiderman. In his final appearance, he does successfully escape with a valuable object, [[MeaninglessVillainVictory only to have the Master Planner and The Big Man take most of the profits, leaving him with just a few thousand dollars]].

* ScoobyDooHoax: Befitting an SFX wizard, Mysterio poses as a sorceror from another dimension in his debut. Even after Spiderman figures he's a fraud, he likes to keep the act going for dramatics. There's even an unmasking when Peter beats him!

* NotSoHarmlessVillain: They are mostly mistreated petty crooks who are easy to defeat, but one of them hides from Spiderman during a fight and escapes with a truck of stolen weapons. Then, once the whole gang is using those weapons (liked armed gliders and rocket launchers), they nearly kill Spiderman a few times.

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Green Goblin is willing to leave the original three behind in a room with a bomb after they help him get to Tombstone. Once Spiderman lets them know about the bomb, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere they immediately run for the stairway]], although, based on the wardrobes of the goons from the finale, they apparently go back to work for Green Goblin afterward.

* DeadpanSnarker: Despite his hatred for jokes, he can be pretty snarky when he wants to be:

--->'''Otto:''' How very kind of you...[[ImpliedDeathThreat and wise]].

--->'''Otto:''' (through gritted teeth) Electro...''take this outside''...

-->'''Otto:''' ''*Pinning Spider-Man down and jamming a finger towards his face.*'' '''''[[ItIsDehumanizing THIS!!]]''''' -is the cause of our troubles...! We can ''RULE'' Manhattan together --or ''divided''-- at our ''leisure'', as soon as we dispose of ''this...'''PEST!!'''''

* ItsAllAboutMe: While hey may or may not have been genuinely concerned about Dr. Connors at first, even before the symbiote amplified his anger, he continued to treat Peter and even the Connors family's financial structures as them trying to spite him specifically. He eventually clears his office late at night to avoid giving Curtis the "satisfaction" of seeing him leave.

* ShipSinking: She doesn't end up with Liz's older brother after he's sent back to prison.

* {{Deconstruction}}: Of his [[BadassNormal usual portrayal]]. While most depictions of Kraven can take Spider-Man in a straight fight, this series makes it a point to show that, regardless of his peak physical condition, he's woefully out of his league against a guy with superpowers, and resorts to mutating himself to be on even footing.

* AlternateSelf: He eventually joins the Spider-Society, which leads him to meet many of his counterparts from [[Characters/SpiderManSpiderVerseTheSpiderGang across the]] [[Characters/SpiderManSpiderVerseSpiderSociety multiverse]].
