15The web-swinging and wall-crawling hero with radioactive blood himself, who fights villains while ignoring both wealth and fame. Action is his reward.
16----
17* AdaptationalBadass: Even by the standards of the comic version at the time, this version of Spider-Man can use his webbing to create almost anything including a fully operatable boat. He also has a number of minor abilities unique to this version.
18* AdaptationalDyeJob: While it’s hard to see at times this version has blue eyes instead of brown.
19* AdaptationalRelationshipOverhaul: This version has a more platonic relationship with Betty.
20* AlliterativeName: '''P'''eter '''P'''arker.
21* AlternateSelf:
22** The official designation of the show is Earth-6799, but ''ComicBook/SpiderVerse'' used a version from Earth-67 and ''ComicBook/WebWarriors'' introduced another variation from Earth-3015. Both are [[BroadStrokes essentially the same]] as the original version from Earth-6799. These versions meet several of his counterparts from other realities such as [[WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan2012 Earth-12041]] and [[ComicBook/MiniMarvels Earth-99062]].
23** The Earth-67 version reappeared in ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse'', which featured several [[Characters/SpiderManSpiderVerseTheSpiderGang alternate versions of Peter Parker]]. It's sequel ''Across the Spider-Verse'' featured counterparts from [[VideoGame/SpiderManPS4 Earth-1048]], [[Characters/TheSpectacularSpiderMan Earth-26496]] and [[Characters/SpiderManUnlimited Earth-751263]] as part of the [[Characters/SpiderManSpiderVerseSpiderSociety Spider-Society]]. Archive footage of his counterparts from [[Film/SpiderManTrilogy Earth-96283]] and [[Film/TheAmazingSpiderManSeries Earth-120703]] is also used, whiel his counterpart from [[Film/MCUSpiderManTrilogy Earth-199999]] is mentioned.
24* ComicallySerious: No matter what situation he's in he treats it seriously.
25* {{Expy}}: This version is the closest the character has ever been to being [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks Silver Age]] ComicBook/{{Superman}} with how he is able to create new powers and having to often save Betty Brant.
26* HiddenDepths: When they meet in ''Spider-Verse'', Miles Morales thinks that he's somewhat naive and unaware of the dangers of being a hero due to how kid friendly and ridiculous his universe is. Peter then mentions the death of his uncle and affirms that while his world might be ridiculous, he takes the dangers really seriously.
27* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: He spins his webbing into a shield to protect him from bullets and arrows more than once. He also spun a shield for Billy Connors to protect the kid from Harley Clivendon's arrows while Billy rescued his father.
28* MistakenForRacist: In ''Spider-Verse'' his counterpart from Earth-12041 thinks he's going to comment on the fact that [[Characters/MarvelComicsMilesMorales Miles Morales]] is [[AffirmativeActionLegacy black]] due to the time period of his universe, but instead he mentions that he's surprised by how young the hero is due to the experience he showed.
29* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Not only can his webbing make almost anything, but he has a new skill or power that helps solve his current problem.
30* OtherMeAnnoysMe: {{Downplayed|Trope}} as he gets along well enough with his counterpart from the ''Ultimate Spider-Man'' cartoon in ''Spider-Verse'' but that version thinks he's joking when he mentions the [[PunnyName names]] of his villains and neither one likes how the other dresses. Peter also finds it weird how his counterpart [[BreakingTheFourthWall talks to people who aren't there]].
31* ReallyGetsAround: This version of Peter seems far more confident with girls given that post-{{Retool}} he seemed to have a new girlfriend every episode.

34[[folder:J. Jonah Jameson]]
35-> For tropes related to his appearance in WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse, see [[Characters/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse here]]
36!![[Characters/MarvelComicsJJonahJameson John Jonah Jameson]]
37!!!'''Voiced By:''' Creator/PaulKligman
38!!!'''Appearances:''' ''WesternAnimation/SpiderMan1967'' | ''ComicBook/SpiderVerse'' | ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse''
39
40The editor-in-chief of the Daily Bugle who hates Spider-Man, while unknowingly employing the hero as his photographer.
41----
42* AlternateSelf: Has a BroadStrokes version from Earth-67, who appears in ''ComicBook/SpiderVerse'' and ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse''.
43* LargeHam: As usual, arguably even more than most versions.
44* InsaneTrollLogic: Jameson is so obsessed with proving Spider-Man is a "menace" that HE WILL automatically accuse Spider-Man of any crime, even when the evidence clearly contradicts him. In one episode where the Green Goblin kidnaps him as a way to summon evil spirits, Jameson ACTUALLY thinks Green Goblin is Spider-Man who just changed his name and costume!
45* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Like in the comics at the time, this version lacks many of the redeeming qualities seen in modern adaptions.
46* TookALevelInJerkass: The Season 2 prequel episode ''King Pinned'' reveals that in their first meeting Jameson was originally more surprised and excited by the existence of Spider-Man, and even teamed up with the web slinger to stand up to and expose the Kingpin for his pharmaceutical crimes. The past Jameson had much more moral courage who wasn't afraid of the Kingpin and insulted him to his face, and generously gave Peter a job when he realized he was the one whose uncle was murdered. A far cry from him at some point, for unknown reasons, coming to despise Spider-Man and libel and scapegoat him for everything he possibly could, while treating Peter and his other employees like trash, and cowering at the very presence of supervillains, even hiding behind Betty Brant.

56* AdaptationalRelationshipOverhaul: This version has a more platonic relationship with Peter and is more supportive of Spider-Man.
57* AlternateSelf: Her BroadStrokes Earth-67 counterpart appears in ''Spider-Verse''.
58* {{Expy}}: Acts a little like [[ComicBook/{{Superman}} Lois Lane]] in how she often gets captured and needs to be saved while lacking a romantic attraction to the hero's secret identity.

142----
143* CanonForeigner: Never appeared in the comics.
144* GeniusBruiser: His invisibilty makes him strong enough to throw large paper rolls and printing equipment at Jameson, and even keep Spider-Man on his toes when they fight.
145* EvilIsPetty: Instead of ignoring Jameson, he resorts to drastic methods to get revenge.
146* InvisibleJerkass: He turns himself invisible to commit crimes.
147* PunnyName: In ''ComicBook/SpiderVerse'' the [[WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan2012 Ultimate Spider-Man]] couldn't stop himself from laughing after hearing Boddy's name and asks if his Earth-67 counterpart was joking.
148* TheUnreveal: We never see what he actually looked like. The most we get is an outline of him whenever his invisibility starts to wear off.

161!!Norman Osborn / Green Goblin
162!!!'''Voiced By:''' Creator/LenCarlson
163
164A criminal who is obsessed with magic.
165----
166* AdaptationalDumbass: His comic self was far more crafty while this version is more dimwitted.
167* AdaptationalSkill: Green Goblin has legitimate knowledge of magic and uses it in his plans.
168* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: This version of the character is pretty obsessed with magic and the supernatural, likely because of the writers glomming onto the "goblin" theme.
169* MagiciansAreWizards: The episode "Magic Malice" at least has him stealing some items from a stage magician that have very definitely real magic powers.
170* PragmaticAdaptation: Not exactly the most accurate adaption of the character and his motives.

186----
187* AbledInTheAdaptation: He has both his arms in this version, and he turned himself into Lizard Man while trying to cure swamp fever.

197* AdaptationalDyeJob: Has red hair instead of brown.
198* AdaptationalNameChange: He is named Joe instead of Quentin Beck in this version.
199* AdaptationalUgliness: His comic self was angry that he wasn't considered attractive enough to be an actor, but this version has it even worse with his green skin.
200* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: His initial appearance out of costume made him look like [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/marvelanimated/images/d/d7/Joe_%28Spider-Man_%281967%29%29.png/revision/latest?cb=20200223042956 Creator/LeonardNimoy]]. He was inexplicably redrawn to look like a green-skinned Creator/WoodyAllen in the third season.
201* DisabledInTheAdaptation: He received a pair of glasses when he was redesigned in the third season.

218!!!'''Voiced By:''' Tom Harvey
219
220
221A thief able to turn into sand.
222----
223* AdaptationalNameChange: {{Subverted|Trope}} as at the time Sandman's real name was Flint Marko, with the comics revealing that to be an alias decades later.
224* DemotedToExtra: Despite being one of Spider-Man's main villains in the comics and having made mutliple appearances by the time the cartoon was made, Sandman only appears in one episode.
225[[/folder]]
226
227[[folder:Scarlet Sorcerer]]
228!!Kotep / Scarlet Sorcerer
229!!!'''Voiced By:''' Carl Banas
230
231An ancient Demon King who was defeated and imprisoned, until he was revived by a professor 7000 years later which brings him into contact with Spider-Man.
232----
233* AchillesHeel: His scepter is both his power source and his weak point. He's permanently destroyed when Spider-Man breaks it.
234* CanonForeigner: Never appeared in the comics.
235* NonIndicativeName: It's not really clear why he's called "the Scarlet Sorcerer" since he isn't red, and doesn't wear red, although sometimes his magic has red effects. One of Spidey's throwaway lines indicates he's ''supposed'' to be wearing red, but the animators actually colored his robes purple.
236* OutsideGenreFoe: Kotep should be a ComicBook/DoctorStrange villain, yet he's a foe of Spider-Man.
237* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Not only was he in suspended animation for seven thousand years, but since he's a Demon King he is likely long lived anyway.
238[[/folder]]

244A science experiment gone wrong who has become a violent criminal.

247[[/folder]]
248
249[[folder:Voltan]]
250!!Voltan
251!!!'''Voiced By:''' Creator/LenCarlson
252
253The Martian warrior who came to Earth to plunder it for gold.
254----
255* AmbiguousSituation: Whether he is an actual god or simply a highly advanced alien.
256* BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy: It's implied that he was the basis for the Roman deity Vulcan, and his powers would also imply either he or other Martians influenced Earth mythology.
257* HornyVikings: He carries a large warhammer, can conjure thunderbolts, wears a horned helmet and sports a large, thick beard. If anything, he could pass for an evil version of Comics/TheMightyThor.
258* CanonForeigner: Never appeared in the comics.
259* OutsideGenreFoe: While it's not uncommon for this version of Spider-Man to deal with magic or aliens, a possible god from Mars was sort of pushing it.

263!!Raniero "Blackie" Drago / Vulture Man
264!!!'''Voiced By:''' Creator/PaulSoles and Gillie Fenwick
265
266A criminal who uses special wings to fly.
267----
268* AdaptationalNameChange: While he is on occasion called the Vulture, his name is changed to Vulture Man.
269* AdaptedOut: Subverted. There is no mention of the Adrian Toomes version of the Vulture, but this Vulture actually did exist in the comics. Blackie Drago was a petty criminal who stole Toomes' equipment while the latter was in jail, and added a helmet to the original costume.
