!!''Deadpool Syndrome'' contains examples of:
* AdaptationalHeroism: As the fic goes on, it becomes clear that this Ultron isn't nearly as villainous as his film counterpart.
* AdaptationalVillainy: Doctor Strange, who is revealed in Chapter 18 to have [[spoiler:erased [[Film/SpiderManTrilogy Tobey Maguire's version of Peter Parker]] from existence, along with the entire rest of the Raimi trilogy's cast. However, at the same time, Tobey asserts that Strange is "on [Garfield!Peter's] side" and doesn't want to have to erase him from existence as well.]]
* {{Adorkable}}:
** Peter and Barton, definitely. Just look at them singing along to "[[Disney/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas What's This?]]" in Chapter 19.
** Also, Baymax and the two Hamadas.
* AIIsACrapshoot: Dear God, Ultron. He starts out as a simple music-searching program (and Japanese tutor) before developing a mind of his own. Thankfully, he's not so outright evil - although his being TheSnarkKnight makes him quite a nuisance as far as the main characters are concerned.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Skye takes advantage of this to pass for Hiro and Tadashi's sister while undercover at Augustine High. She later points out that while she is a close racial match to the Hamada brothers (being a similar white-Asian mix), she's half-Chinese as opposed to half-Japanese.
* ArtisticLicensePhysics: The Tesla coil explosion in Chapter 15. [[LampshadeHanging As Gwen accurately points out in the next chapter]], that really should not happen.
* AuthorAvatar: Arguably, Peter. Which, given his {{Everyman}} nature, makes sense. The point is hammered home by the fact that Pine even uses Peter as his profile pic.
* BetterThanABareBulb: Almost no reference, and no bad joke, goes unnoticed by Peter or Gwen. Especially the former, who has a considerably wider pop-culture knowledge base.
* BigBadDuumvirate: Ultron and Doctor Strange, oddly enough, are being set up as one.
* BiTheWay: Loki, in keeping with canon. [[spoiler:And also Thor and Sif - implying that bisexuality is the norm for Asgardians.]]
* BreakingTheFourthWall: Deadpool, natch. Peter also catches himself addressing the audience from time to time - increasingly often after his first encounter with the Merc with the Mouth.
* CaptainErsatz: Played with. The various Marvel movies exist in the alternate universe under the same names, but the actors and characters are different, for obvious reasons. For instance, in the alternate ''Amazing Spider-Man,'' the title character's real name is Cade Clarke, and he's played by Creator/AaronJohnson.

* DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler:Sadly, Coulson once again. And also Lola, who is destroyed in the Bus crash at the end of Chapter 12.]]
* FirstPersonSmartass: Par for the course for Peter. Gwen, too, to a (slightly) lesser extent.
* GoddamnedBats: The Dark Elves, who like to attack in great numbers.
* HowsYourBritishAccent: Subverted. Upon learning that he's played by a British actor, Peter immediately tries his hand at the accent. The result is atrocious, to say the least.
* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Every chapter title is taken from the lyrics of a different song. The song selections are pretty disparate, too - in the first four chapters alone, the titles are taken from songs by Music/FallOutBoy, Music/MichaelJackson, Music/{{CAKE}}, and Music/TalkingHeads.
* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: Lance Hunter does a toned-down version of this on his first appearance, asking Peter for his autograph.
* LudicrousGibs: The Dark Elves sometimes leave this, but perhaps none more so than the one that gets a grenade shoved into its mouth by Deadpool.
* {{Metrosexual}}: The teenage version of Steve Rogers is described as such by Gwen.
-->"...he goes more unnoticed in [Starbucks] than the rest of us. All he needs is a pair of [[{{Hipster}} hipster glasses]] and he'd be totally invisible."
* MistakenForGay: Loki, largely due to the negative publicity he received after the incident where he catfished Barton by pretending to be Natasha on Facebook. Thor has to inform the rest of the group in Chapter 20 that Loki's into more than just males.
* MythologyGag: Tons.
** For example, the e-mail from J. Jonah Jameson (here a journalism teacher rather than the ''Daily Bugle'' owner) with the subject line "[[Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2 WRONG!!!!!]]"

* [[OhCrapThereAreFanficsOfUs Oh Crap, There Are Movies Of Us!]] The whole story runs on this.
* RapidFireNo: Peter delivers some of these.
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Pine incorporates new Marvel movie details and plans into the story practically as soon as they come out. Chief among them - the February 2015 announcement of the re-rebooting of Spider-Man and the subsequent cancellation of Sony's ''Amazing Spider-Man'' franchise.
* ReferenceOverdosed: And not just for Marvel-related stuff either.
* SparedByTheAdaptation:
** Gwen, sort of. The fic takes place after ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2,'' and after seeing the "real" version of the same film (that is, the "actual record" of events), she actually remembers the moment of her own death.
** There's also a blink-and-you'll-miss-it line from Skye in Chapter 12 referring to Tadashi's death - but as with Gwen, he's still alive and well in the story.
** And don't forget Uncle Ben - who, upon learning that his nephew is Spider-Man, immediately asks if that means he's going to die.
* AWizardDidIt: Invoked so many times to explain some of the story's more outlandish phenomena, courtesy of Doctor Strange, that it's practically a RunningGag. There's at least one "strange magic" joke in the story as a result.
* WorldOfSnark: So very much. It must be a superhero thing.

* [[OhCrapThereAreFanficsOfUs Oh Crap, There Are Movies Of Us!]] The whole story runs on this.
* RapidFireNo: Peter delivers some of these.
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Pine incorporates new Marvel movie details and plans into the story practically as soon as they come out. Chief among them - the February 2015 announcement of the re-rebooting of Spider-Man and the subsequent cancellation of Sony's ''Amazing Spider-Man'' franchise.
* ReferenceOverdosed: And not just for Marvel-related stuff either.
* SparedByTheAdaptation:
** Gwen, sort of. The fic takes place after ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2,'' and after seeing the "real" version of the same film (that is, the "actual record" of events), she actually remembers the moment of her own death.
** There's also a blink-and-you'll-miss-it line from Skye in Chapter 12 referring to Tadashi's death - but as with Gwen, he's still alive and well in the story.
** And don't forget Uncle Ben - who, upon learning that his nephew is Spider-Man, immediately asks if that means he's going to die.
* AWizardDidIt: Invoked so many times to explain some of the story's more outlandish phenomena, courtesy of Doctor Strange, that it's practically a RunningGag. There's at least one "strange magic" joke in the story as a result.
* WorldOfSnark: So very much. It must be a superhero thing.
