*** The public also continues to hate and fear mutants despite the ComicBook/XMen's best efforts, they trust convicted murderers and psychopaths to keep them safe after ''ComicBook/{{Civil War|2006}}, and routinely MisBlame the heroes for things that are the fault of the villains. Suffice it to say that the general public in 616 Marvel is a collection of ungrateful douchebags who are TooDumbToLive and quite frankly don't even '''deserve''' to have the heroes continually fighting to protect them. That means you, Sally Floyd! (Sorry, couldn't resist.)

** Alpha wasn't just failing to live up to Peter's notions of responsibility: He was actively ignoring his responsibilities, being a massive jerk to everyone around him, sleeping around behind the back and to the face of girls he was with, and engaging in incredibly reckless fights because he could get away with it. Really, it was only a matter of time before the kid caused a tragedy, and with his power, it wasn't going to be limited to "I let Uncle Ben die." Alpha was either going to be so negligent he caused a disaster that made [[ComicBook/CivilWar Stamford]] look like a square dance, or he was going to actively go DrunkOnTheDarkSide and become a threat no one could hope to put down.

** It has been shown that media set in the DC Universe exists in the Marvel Universe, and Spider-Man himself [[https://i.redd.it/f8gmq25cbgs21.jpg does know of the character of Batman]]. It's plausible that he created the Spider-Signal as a homage to the actual Bat-Signal depicted in his world's Batman comics.

*Do you think Ben Reilly had that new born baby smell when be was born? I know he was born a grown man, but does that mean he wouldn't smell like a new baby?

** OP here. Considering how rampant AllOfTheOtherReindeer is in the Marvel universe, I'm now theorizing that the reason that Peter doesn't sell photos to other news outlets is because the other ones aren't really any better. The entire Marvel Universe regularly treats superheroes like garbage and mutants even worse. Sure, the Daily Bugle might be the top dog in New York City, but the rest probably bash superheroes just as much.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


** Well, it is precognitive, in a sense. It's an expansion of awareness across time and space--he can use it as a radar AND he can sense 'threatening' events milliseconds before they occur (although he has had visions of the future across further in time). The movies describe it as quick reflexes UpToEleven, though they function more as super reflexes. Negative reaction time.

*** That seems rather contrived. There're exactly two possible answers to this question: either Peter is Spider-man or he's friends ''with'' Spider-man, who loves publicity, but needs a middle-man. Obviously he'd tell them the latter. How would that fail to convince them?

!!Video Game
* Before the Carnage fight, Venom was clearly knocked unconscious (or at least beaten to submission), laying on the floor of Doc Ock's underwater base. However, after the Monster Ock level, he reappears on the Quinjet, fully lucid. Black Cat had contacted Cap about the situation after Spidey rescued him, but the question is: how did Venom even get on board? They may not have been able to reach out and contact him through normal means, since ''he was technically underwater''. While he does have the invisibility power and that he can recover swiftly from any attack that isn't fire or sonic-related, there wasn't necessarily a quick exit from the base either for him to use. When Monster Ock came up, did the explosions wake Venom up? Did he smash a hole into the base and just swim away until he found the Quinjet?

Poor grammar.


*** Keep in mind, she's peter parker in in a female body. there is 3 options(sorry if this troper misgender the character,he's french and doesn't speaks english very well) :
*** -Jessica still considers himself as a boy and that make him a FtM transgender(he's just really good at hinding his dysphoria)
*** -Peter is in fact a transgender MtF and that's explain why Jessica has no problem about being a girl even if she is a clone of peter with the same personality
*** -Peter and Jessica are non binary (probably genderfluid) and that explain why they don't have a problem about their gender
