| 8 | |
| 9 | A young but brilliant, somewhat irritable teacher at Horizon High, Otto Octavius ends up suffering an accident leading to one of his inventions, a harness with tentacle-like appendages, being merged to his body. He is initially inspired by Peter into becoming a hero as "the Octopus", but tensions with Max Modell, coupled with Norman Osborn's manipulations, eventually lead him to quit and join Oz Academy instead. When Osborn betrays his trust as well, he turns against him and starts a career as a criminal, renaming himself Doctor Octopus. |
| 10 | ---- |
| 11 | * AbusiveParents: [[spoiler:During his childhood, his father Torbert was shown to be both physically and verbally abusive to Otto, such as pushing and belittling him about science.]] |
| 12 | * ActingYourIntellectualAge: Despite being nineteen, which is very young for an adult, he acts and talks to students as if he's even older. |
| 13 | * ActuallyIAmHim: When Peter first meets him, Peter mistakes Otto for a fellow student and mentions the bad things heard about Otto. It's only upon seeing a picture of Otto receiving an award from the Mayor that Peter realizes he's talking to Otto. |
| 14 | * AdaptationalHeroism: While his comic counterpart always was a NobleDemon and did try to act as a hero during a [[ComicBook/SuperiorSpiderMan specific arc]], he started out as a straight villain and was one for most of his career. This incarnation, while definitely a JerkAss with ego problems, starts out as a hero before his ego gets the better of him in season 1. He also doesn't snap and go psychopathic after his freak accident like most versions of his character did, instead continuing his career as a teacher until [[spoiler:the tensions with Modell lead him to quit]]. In season 2, he also [[spoiler:makes a genuine attempt to [[HeelFaceTurn reform]] after giving Peter's body back, and dies a hero in season 2's finale]]. |
| 15 | * AlliterativeName: '''O'''tto '''O'''ctavius. |
| 16 | * AppropriatedAppellation: Implied. Briefly in "The Rise of Doc Ock, Part 3", Peter refers to the Oz Commandos as "sinister". In the very next part, after revealing that he [[spoiler:used mind control on the other members]], he refers to the group as the "Sinister Five". |
| 17 | * TheBadGuyWins: He successfully possesses Spider-Man's body in the second season episode, "The Living Brain". This victory sticks for several episodes as the series adapts the Superior Spider-Man storyline, until Otto relinquishes Peter's body in "Superior". |
| 18 | * BewareTheQuietOnes: While Otto's definitely an InsufferableGenius, he does tend to dip into this on some occasions. [[spoiler:The most recent case being the "quiet one" of the "Oz Commandos", being subservient to Osborn until the Oz Commandos are ordered to finish off the Jackal...which is where Doc Ock reveals his ManipulativeBastard qualities through EvilGloating.]] |
| 19 | * BigBadEnsemble: One of the major antagonists of the series, alongside Norman Osborn, the Jackal, Venom, and Vulture. When Osborn is seemingly killed in the first season finale, along with Jackal and Vulture laying low, and Venom in captivity, Octavius becomes the sole main villain for the majority of the second season, until his HeelFaceTurn. |
| 20 | * BigOlEyebrows: Has a rather big set of those. |
| 21 | * BodyHorror: His robotic arms are ''merged'' with his nervous system now in "The Rise of Doc Ock Part 1". |
| 22 | * CharacterDevelopment: [[spoiler:Spending time as the Superior Spider-Man significantly softens him, putting him toward a genuine effort to become a hero (albeit [[GoodIsNotNice much darker than Peter]]), and his interactions with Anna Maria and the swap being undone result in him shedding a lot of his worst tendencies as both Doctor Octopus and the Superior Spider-Man, becoming an ally to Peter as a result.]] |
| 23 | * TheChessmaster: [[spoiler:How did he manage to get control of Peter's body? By sending wave after wave of villains after him to tire him out.]] |
| 24 | * CompositeCharacter: He is under Oscorp's employment like his Ultimate Marvel version and is the Sinister Six's leader like his mainstream version. His connection with Horizon High and [[spoiler:his mind within the Neuro-Cortex followed by a robot body also makes him one to his backup consciousness and the Living Brain]]. |
| 25 | * CoolShades: In his pre-villain days, he occasionally wore black sunglasses through experiments and crime-fighting. |
| 26 | * DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler:He sacrifices himself to save New York during the "Goblin War" arc.]] |
| 27 | * DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler:He dies in Peter's in "Goblin War, Part 4".]] |
| 28 | * EvilCounterpart: Another one to Peter Parker/Spider-Man; they're remarkably intelligent for their age and driven to do good by a figure who gave them a pep-talk on using their abilities responsibly, but unlike Peter, Otto's ego cripples his judgment and eventually results in him being a villain. In a dark mirror to Max seeing Peter's potential and letting him into Horizon, Norman wants Octavius to be part of Oscorp, [[spoiler:something Norman succeeds in]]. [[spoiler:He also leads a team of people with great scientific minds, but instead of a mutual desire to work together, has implanted mind control devices on them to render them subservient to him.]] |
| 29 | * EvilGenius: [[spoiler:Is ''miffed'' with Norman after discovering the Octobot project. When he confronts Norman about this, Norman nonchalantly dismisses his complaints, since Oscorp owns Otto's research contractually. To get back at Norman, Otto utilizes mind-control devices he developed alongside the Jackal in order to completely brainwash the Oz Commandos and severely wound Norman, effortlessly taking over Oscorp as well as the Jackal's own research. ''Damn''.]] |
| 30 | * EvilIsHammy: He was mostly a stoic grump before, but he gets more bombastic as Doctor Octopus. |
| 31 | * FatalFlaw: {{Pride}}. While Otto undeniably is brilliant, he is so convinced of his own genius that he dismisses ''everyone'' as less intelligent than he and doesn't even consider they might have a point. Most notably, he worked on an extremely volatile power source ''in a school's basement'' in blatant disregard for the students' security, based on the argument that surely, someone with his superior intelligence would ''know'' how to make it safe. [[spoiler:Amusingly, this also is what prevents him from figuring out Spider-Man's identity; despite having recognized Peter's tech on one of Spider-Man's tracers, his assumption is that Peter is ''providing'' tech for Spider-Man rather than being Spider-Man himself, because he cannot believe Spider-Man would be smart enough to build his own tech like he himself is.]] |
| 32 | * ForScience: His primary motivation. He considers any risk to be worth the pursuit of scientific advancement and looks down on those who think otherwise. |
| 33 | * FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler:He was bullied as a child for his short stature, and his father physically and emotionally abused him because he resented his intelligence and love of science. That instilled in him the constant need to prove his superiority over others that would ultimately lead him down the path of villainy.]] |
| 34 | * GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:As his molecules are ripped apart by his HeroicSacrifice, Otto can't help but smile tearfully because he finally found a best friend with Peter.]] |
| 35 | * GrandTheftMe: [[spoiler:At the end of "The Living Brain", he transfers his consciousness into Spider-Man. With neither Miles nor Spider-Girl none the wiser.]] |
| 36 | * HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:"Superior" has him sacrificing himself to give Peter's body back after realizing what it truly means to be a hero. When he wakes up from his coma in "The Cellar", he seems to be on his way towards being an ally.]] |
| 37 | * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:In "Goblin War, Part 4", he uses the Neuro Cortex to disable Adrian Toomes's mech, but at the cost of his own life.]] |
| 38 | * HijackedByGanon: [[spoiler:He turns out to be the mastermind who put a bounty on Spider-Man's head in season 2, hoping to tire Peter out until he could finally enact his plan to steal Spider-Man's body.]] |
| 39 | * IHaveManyNames: Otto Octavius, Doctor Octopus, Doc Ock, The Octopus, [[spoiler:Superior Spider-Man]]. |
| 40 | * IJustWantToBeLoved: It's buried so deep even Otto's not aware of it, but all he really wants is to be accepted. Unfortunately, thanks to [[spoiler:his father's abuse]] and the resulting superiority complex, he believes it doesn't come unconditionally, so he must prove he's worthy of people's acknowledgement. At the time of the series, he's long forgotten ''why'' he needs to be smarter than everybody else. |
| 41 | * InferioritySuperiorityComplex: For all his arrogance, Otto really is looking for people recognizing his genius, something he had trouble finding due to his young age, and as such tends to follow whoever acknowledges him as brilliant. Max being the first to recognize him despite his age was what led him to join Horizon High. [[spoiler:This is also exploited by Norman to create tension between him and Max, and get him to join Oscorp.]] |
| 42 | * InsufferableGenius: Otto is an incredibly smart and talented scientist, especially considering his age; unfortunately, he also is very arrogant, dismissive of others, and constantly convinced he knows better than anyone else around him due to his intelligence. |
| 43 | * IntelligenceEqualsIsolation: "The Rise of Doc Ock" reveals he always was considered a freak by his peers due to his high intelligence, presumably leading to his asocial behavior. |
| 44 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Arrogant, dismissive of others, easily annoyed, and generally an unpleasant teacher, but does occasionally compliment his students and his bouts of heroism were genuine, if somewhat reluctant. [[spoiler:He's later released from prison after his Sinister Six stunt was foiled, and in the months spent he gained three degrees and seems to have TookALevelInKindness]], however [[spoiler:the Kindness part turns out to be an act and he became a JerkWithAHeartOfJerk to use his kind facade as a way for his master plan. As of "The Cellar", however, he seems to have fully become this trope. Time will tell if it sticks]]. |
| 45 | * LoveRedeems: [[spoiler:It's ultimately his feelings for Anna Maria and desire to validate her belief that he's a hero that push him towards cementing his HeelFaceTurn.]] |
| 46 | * ManipulativeBastard: [[spoiler:After spending much of his tenure in the Oz Commandos as TheQuietOne, Octavius fully embraces his supervillain status by expositing his plan to overthrow Norman as head of Oscorp, since the company owns all his research. To that end, he utilized the Jackal's mind-control research to brainwash the rest of the Commandos into his minions and formed a VillainTeamUp with the Jackal, ''off-screen and out of prying eyes''. The plan goes off without a hitch...except, of course, for the fact that Norman apparently survives the ordeal. Still, the minimal time and effort Otto put into his plan is astounding.]] |
| 47 | * MissionControl: As of "The Road to Goblin War", [[spoiler:Otto finds a new way to be a hero as Spider-Man's partner behind the Spider's Nest computers, headset and all, and controlling the Spider-Bots]]. |
| 48 | * MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: [[spoiler:He turns against Osborn after finding out Norman stole his technology by hiring him.]] |
| 49 | * MoralMyopia: [[spoiler:After the Sinister Five are freed from his mind control and attack him, he is outraged that they would "betray" him, believing that he was helping the group to "achieve greatness".]] |
| 50 | * NeverMyFault: [[spoiler:In "The Hobgoblin, Part One", he claims that Max Modell had "practically driven" him to side with Osborn.]] |
| 51 | * NeverTrustATrailer: This version of Doctor Octopus is 19 years old, only slightly older than Peter. However, [[https://static3.comicvine.com/uploads/original/4/46646/5813593-6718589659-15403.jpg a poster to promote the show]] features the traditional middle-aged version with a bowl cut. |
| 52 | * NoBodyLeftBehind: [[spoiler:In "Goblin War, Part 4", his body fades away after he dies, leaving only his tentacles.]] |
| 53 | * NotSoAboveItAll: Otto spends most of his earlier episodes as TheStoic, and looks down to the Spider-Men for their goofy antics. However, he himself displays a liking for catchy names (he came up himself with his two aliases and the Sinister Five name), makes attempts at witty banter during his brief career as a hero, and [[EvilIsHammy can at times be quiet hammy]]. |
| 54 | * OlderThanTheyLook: He is ''nineteen'', but looks young enough that Peter initially mistakes him for a fellow student. |
| 55 | * OmnidisciplinaryScientist: Much like the comics, Octavius created a nuclear reactor with mechanical arms, requiring engineering and nuclear physics degrees. Somewhat justified in his return when he gained three more doctorates (at least one in neuroscience) [[spoiler:during his time in prison]], which helps the plot along significantly. |
| 56 | * PeerAsTeacher: Otto in this continuity is [[AgeLift not much older]] than Peter himself, being nineteen to Peter's fifteen, and is one of Peter's teachers at Horizon Academy. |
| 57 | * RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:In the "Goblin War" arc, he uses the Neuro Cortex to defeat Toomes to make up for his sins, but dies in Peter's arms in doing so.]] |
| 58 | * ReformedButRejected: [[spoiler:Unsurprisingly, no one except Anna Maria and Peter is willing to accept his genuine turn to the side of good, especially since he faked being reformed once before, not to mention the many moral lines he crossed as a supervillain. It takes him sacrificing himself for everyone to acknowledge his turn to good.]] |
| 59 | * SecretKeeper: [[spoiler:In the "Superior Spider-Man" arc, he learns about Peter's identity while possessing Spider-Man's body.]] |
| 60 | * ShadowArchetype: [[spoiler:He's basically what Peter would've turned into without the kindness and support of Aunt May and Uncle Ben. Like Peter, he's a promising man of science who was bullied for his intelligence. Without anyone to support him and put him on the right path, however, Otto became obsessed with proving his superiority over those who belittled him, which evolved into a full-blown InferioritySuperiorityComplex that would lead him to eventually becoming a supervillain. Upon finding out about his past, Peter notes how they're {{Mirror Character}}s.]] |
| 61 | * ShorterMeansSmarter: Is much shorter than Peter, and quite brilliant. |
| 62 | * TheStoic: He's not much on emotions. |
| 63 | * ThenLetMeBeEvil: Seems to be the impetus of his eventual transformation into Dr. Octopus; he was bullied by his peers for his intelligence, [[spoiler:was unable to keep the job he has at Horizon due to Max assuming the worst of him, and then finding out that he doesn't own any of his tech anymore]]. These, coupled with calling his team "the Sinister Five", suggests he's decided to drop any pretense of being a hero entirely. |
| 64 | * TheUsurper: [[spoiler:Is primarily this to Osborn as leader of the "Oz Commandos" (aka the Sinister Five), having severely injured him in the finale of "Rise of Doc Ock", and surprisingly this to the Jackal as well, at least in terms of his mind-control research.]] |
| 65 | * VillainTeamUp: [[spoiler:Teams up with the Jackal to help along with his mutiny of Oscorp, although the latter seems to consider the deal more of an EnemyMine.]] |
| 66 | * VoiceWithAnInternetConnection: [[spoiler:He becomes this for Peter, and later the other Spiders, after he reverses their bodyswap and comes out of his coma.]] |
| 67 | * YoungerAndHipper: This version is only nineteen instead of a middle-aged man as in the comics and other versions. |

| 71 | !!Jackal (Raymond Warren) |
| 72 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/marvel_jackal.jpg]] |
| 73 | -> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/JohnDiMaggio |
| 74 | |
| 75 | A scientist who can turn into an animalistic, green-furred criminal trying to steal technology for unknown purposes. [[spoiler:Also happens to be Gwen's uncle. Later revealed to have created the spiders behind Peter's and Miles's abilities- and he fully intends to use them to create an entire army at his command.]] |
| 76 | ---- |
| 77 | * ActuallyADoombot: [[spoiler:The creature that attacked Norman and the one in prison were both his clones, with the latter revealing this is a favored tactic for keeping the real Jackal out of the spotlight.]] |
| 78 | * AdaptationalVillainy: His comic counterpart was driven insane by Gwen Stacy's [[ComicBook/TheNightGwenStacyDied infamous demise]], but was classified as an AntiVillain. This version has no such excuse and only seeks to perfect his projects at the expense of everyone else. Triply so, given he's an amalgamation of the Jackal (Miles Warren), his brother as this version's true identity, and [[spoiler:Arthur Stacy (Gwen's uncle and a cop)]]. |
| 79 | * AdaptationOriginConnection: [[spoiler:This version is responsible for the creation of the spiders who behind the abilities of Peter and the main cast. He is also responsible for the Rhino serum.]] |
| 80 | * AdaptedOut: Miles is nowhere to be seen and doesn't use the Jackal persona which is used by his brother Raymond Warren instead. |
| 81 | * ArtEvolution: He sports prominent [[RedEyesTakeWarning red eyes]] when he [[spoiler:reappears in ''Maximum Venom'']] along with gaunter facial features that make him look even more deranged. |
| 82 | * AxCrazy: While his human self (despite still being evil) is a bit more collected, his Jackal persona displays psychopathic tendencies, including trying to kill random bystanders or threatening to dissect Spider-Man so he could figure out how his nemesis's powers work. |
| 83 | * BigBadEnsemble: He ends up in conflict with Season 1's other major villain Norman Osborn. |
| 84 | * TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler:After having a long absence, he finally returns in ''Maximum Venom''.]] |
| 85 | * CompositeCharacter: His comics counterpart is the Jackal's ''brother'' but [[OneSteveLimit seeing as the Jackal's name was Miles and this series already has a character named Miles as a protagonist... yeah]]. This version also has a character trait from [[spoiler:Arthur Stacy through being portrayed as Gwen's uncle]]. |
| 86 | * CreepyUncle: [[spoiler:The way he has Ghost-Spider pinned on the bed with his creation and his way of wanting his niece to respect him, gives him some creepy implications for a show aimed for kids.]] |
| 87 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: As evil as he is, Raymond does seem to genuinely care about [[spoiler:Gwen]], as he [[spoiler:actually goes through the trouble of saving his niece in the middle of a crime]]. |
| 88 | * EvilUncle: [[spoiler:He is Gwen's uncle.]] |
| 89 | * EvilVersusEvil: Both he and Norman are ruthless and willing to do morally questionable things to reach their goals, but they end up in conflict due to [[spoiler:Norman opposing his plan to create a spider soldier army]]. |
| 90 | * ExpendableClone: [[spoiler:Uses these to keep himself incognito, and even the clones themselves go along with this, to the point of one in prison killing himself upon learning that another one self-destructed.]] |
| 91 | * FauxAffablyEvil: Likes to have seemingly genial conversations with his opponents and co-workers, but it's clear that much of it isn't genuine at all. |
| 92 | * KarmaHoudiniWarranty: [[spoiler:As of ''Maximum Venom'', he's now behind bars.]] |
| 93 | * KnightOfCerebus: Episodes involving him tend to be game-changers, due to his personal connection to [[spoiler:Gwen Stacy]], and his overall influence having series-wide consequences. He's also regularly portrayed as being among the most evil of Spider-Man's enemies in the series, being far more willing to intentionally try and commit murder on innocent bystanders for seemingly no reason. He's also the villain that came the closest to succeeding at their goals throughout Season 1, with the events of [[spoiler:Spider-Island]]. |
| 94 | * MadScientist: Just like in his comic equivalent, this version is implied to have created the serum behind the ability to shapeshift into a jackal-man, and [[spoiler:is responsible for both mutating the Rhino and creating the spiders which are behind the main cast's abilities]]. |
| 95 | * OurWerebeastsAreDifferent: He has the ability to switch between his human form and furry, green-haired BeastMan with jackal ears. |
| 96 | * OutOfFocus: He's largely absent from Season 2 and left mostly unacknowledged with sporadic references to his influence to be referenced but with no physical reappearance. [[spoiler:He officially returns in ''Maximum Venom'', temporarily working with Osborn.]] |
| 97 | * RedHerring: Played with. He's introduced with almost no formal introduction in his first appearance, much like the Scorpion, seemingly indicating that he's going to be a BitPartBadGuy, but at the end of his episode, [[spoiler:is shown to secretly be Gwen's uncle]], highlighting that he's really going to be a very important character, and in fact one of the most major antagonists of the series. |
| 98 | * RelatedInTheAdaptation: This version is [[spoiler:Gwen's uncle]]. |
| 99 | * SendInTheClones: Just like in the comics, he has a big liking for clones. [[spoiler:In this case, he repeatedly uses clones of himself as decoys, and intends to create an army of them with Spider-Man's abilities.]] |
| 100 | * SuicideAttack: His clones have a self-destruct feature. A Jackal and Raymond Warren clone both use it to try to kill Norman and Spider-Man respectively. |
| 101 | * ThatManIsDead [[spoiler:In ''Maximum Venom'', he no longer responds to Raymond Warren and considers himself to be only The Jackal.]] |

| 108 | -> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/AlastairDuncan |
| 109 | |
| 110 | ---- |
| 111 | * AdaptationalBadass: The original Adrian Toomes just had a flight suit; the sonic scream is unique to this version. |
| 112 | * AdaptationalVillainy: While his comic counterpart has more redeeming qualities, this version is far viler, [[spoiler:willing to use his minions as tools and having no problem with the idea of killing many civilians just to get to Spider-Man]], making him the second most amoral version of Adrian Toomes right next to his Noir counterpart. |
| 113 | * AgeLift: Instead of an elderly man, this version is presented as being more of a middle-aged man with his hair still intact and with full color. |
| 114 | * ArcVillain: [[spoiler:Of the "Goblin War" arc as the Goblin King]]. |
| 115 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler:He's a member of the Sinister Five via mind control in "The Rise of Doc Ock, Part 4" and "The Hobgoblin, Part 1"]]. |
| 116 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: He's much more impulsive, loud and egotistical in the pilot episode, but later appearances have shown him to be one of the few of Norman's henchmen to be relatively sane, mild-mannered, and even refuses to steal from Horizon [[PragmaticVillainy because it'd jeopardize having just got out of prison]]. Given that Alistair wears a different Vulture suit and demonstrates a lot of the same traits as Toomes's first appearance, it was likely to help keep the two distinct when they both wore the Vulture technology. |
| 117 | * CompositeCharacter: His Vulture technology is a mix of his original incarnation and his MCU counterpart. [[spoiler:He also later takes on the Goblin King identity]]. |
| 118 | * TheDragon: He's Norman's top enforcer after he is bailed. |
| 119 | * FatalFlaw: {{Pride}}. His inflated sense of pride is why he's the Vulture and attacks Max Modell. This trait also allows the Wake Riders to convince him to return to a life of crime in "Rise Above It All" and ultimately drive him [[spoiler:in his crusade as the Goblin King]]. |
| 120 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: [[spoiler:He goes from a glorified minion of Norman and Doctor Octopus to the leader of a crime movement that has practically every criminal in New York]]. |
| 121 | * {{Hypocrite}}: [[spoiler:His motivation in the "Goblin War" arc is that he wishes to be recognized for his technology which has been claimed by Oscorp. He accomplishes this by assimilating Electro's and Silvermane's inventions into the Goblin Nation, and stealing the Hobgoblin's schematics]]. |
| 122 | * MightyRoar: The Vulture's main weapon in contrast to his other versions. |
| 123 | * MoralMyopia: During a {{Crossover}} with ''WesternAnimation/AvengersAssemble'', he insisted that he wasn't a criminal despite breaking out of jail with Ulysses Klaue's help. When Spider-Man arrived on the scene, he tried to "prove" himself by attempting to capture Klaue while wrecking Horizon's gym as he did. When Spidey pointed out all the damage he was causing, the Vulture replied "And your point is?". |
| 124 | * NeverMyFault: Modell fired him for stealing equipment that belonged to the school. He got pissed and decides to kill Max, blaming Max for it. |
| 125 | * NeverTrustATrailer: This version looks like he came out of ''Anime/ScienceNinjaTeamGatchaman''. However, [[https://static3.comicvine.com/uploads/original/4/46646/5813593-6718589659-15403.jpg a poster to promote the show]] features a design more akin to his counterpart in ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming''. |
| 126 | * PoweredArmor: His Vulture technology grants him {{flight}} and a sonic scream. [[spoiler:As the Goblin King, he sports a bulkier, green Goblin suit followed by the Goblin Mech]]. |
| 127 | * PragmaticVillainy: He's bailed out of jail in "Symbiotic Relationship", and when Norman tells him to go steal the V-252 from Horizon, he points out that he just got out of prison and doesn't want to risk getting caught again so soon. |
| 128 | * TheReveal: [[spoiler:He's the Goblin King, not Norman as everyone initially assumes]]. |
| 129 | * StarterVillain: The first proper supervillain that Spider-Man fights in the series. |

| 136 | -> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/JoshKeaton |
| 137 | |
| 138 | Oscorp's CEO and Harry's father. |
| 139 | ---- |
| 140 | * AbusiveDad: Played with example, but to start with [[spoiler:he frames Harry for a crime his son did not commit]] which is considered abusive for a father to do [[spoiler:(even though he has Spencer Smythe do it)]], not to mention saying that Harry wouldn't have anything without the Osborn name and discouraging from trying to establish himself outside of it, but some episodes shows that Norman cares for his son's safety. This dilemma is [[spoiler:officially at its worst in "Generations" where the Dark Goblin attacks Harry alongside Spider-Man's allies]]. |
| 141 | * AdaptationalDumbass: Downplayed. While he's still a very adept manipulator, he gets blindsided by his arrogance more often than in his other incarnations, such as [[spoiler:failing to realize Doctor Octopus was going to betray him as soon as he said that he owns Doc Ock's tech]]. He also lacks the intelligence to make his own weapons and will stoop to stealing ideas from others. |
| 142 | * AdaptationalHeroism: To a lesser extent; while he is still as unscrupulous and ruthless as usual, his primary motivation here is to [[spoiler:stop the Jackal's creation of an army of spider-themed {{Super Soldier}}s]], an unusually altruistic goal for his character. He also antagonizes Spider-Man not out of greed or revenge as usual, but because [[spoiler:he wrongly believes Spider-Man to be working for the Jackal. Though it's ultimately subverted on the last part: turns out he wanted Harry to be a hero for the new generation, only for Spider-Man to show up at the wrong time and steal the thunder, so he planned to get rid of Spider-Man]]. |
| 143 | * AdaptationalWimp: A variation when it comes to his symbiote-bonded Goblin form. His comics counterpart as the Red Goblin had what amounted to StorybreakerPower with no traditional symbiote weaknesses and manhandled the entire Spider-family, only losing in the end because Spider-Man convinced him to ditch the Carnage symbiote and fight man-to-man. This version [[spoiler:instead bonds with a synthetic symbiote to be the Dark Goblin. Despite being so enhanced, both Spider-Man and Harry are still able to fight back against him and the Dark Goblin is beaten soundly once the whole Spider-team joins the fray]]. |
| 144 | * AntiVillain: Surprisingly. He is ruthless, manipulative, deceptive and corrupt, but [[spoiler:he genuinely wishes to prevent the Jackal's army of spider-soldiers]]. |
| 145 | * BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:''Maximum Venom'' shows him alive as Curt Connors's contact who's shown to be somewhere in what appears to be some kind of chamber]]. |
| 146 | * BigBad: Of Season 1 and [[spoiler:''Maximum Venom'']], most of the things that go wrong and villains that are created can be traced either directly or indirectly to him. |
| 147 | * BigBadEnsemble: He ends up scheming in conflict with other major villains: The Jackal during Season 1 and [[spoiler:Venom during ''Maximum Venom'']]. |
| 148 | * BodyHorror: [[spoiler:"Generations" shows how severe his injuries from Season 1 are. The right side of his face is burned, he is deathly thin, and he is missing [[AnArmAndALeg his left arm and his right leg]]. As the Dark Goblin, he is instantly healed and his limbs are regenerated (possibly as a result of the synthetic symbiote) and even so when he's reverted back to normal]]. |

| 151 | ** [[spoiler:His Dark Goblin form resembles his original counterpart's Red Goblin form with symbiote abilities and a tail while having the Green Goblin's weaponry and green accents, and his Ultimate counterpart's Hulk-esque size]]. |
| 152 | ** His obsession with the experimental spiders as well as obtaining abilities as the Stealth Spider and the Spider-King has some similarities with Carl King. |
| 153 | ** [[spoiler:His Hobgoblin impersonation is a mix of Roderick Kingsley and Phil Urich]]. |
| 154 | * CorruptCorporateExecutive: He ''is'' Norman Osborn after all. |
| 155 | * TheCorrupter: [[spoiler: His actions in 'The Rise of Doc Ock' arc were the main reasons for Otto's FaceHeelTurn; Purposely giving him tainted data to make a cure so that his attempt to cure Lizard will worsen the situation by turning the Lizard giant, framing Otto and getting him kicked out of Horizon, leaving Otto with not much of another choice but to work at Oscorp, so that Norman could take the chance to steal his tech, plus name a group of tech-users at Oscorp, including Otto, the Oz Commandos after himself, despite not doing much himself]]. |
| 156 | * DeflectorShields: He uses this whenever someone targets him personally. |
| 157 | * DevilInPlainSight: Even at his most Faux Affable, the guy's every word and action has "evil mastermind" written all over it. |
| 158 | * DrivenByEnvy: [[spoiler:Why he framed his own son; he was envious of Max being something greater than the Osborn name]]. |
| 159 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Can be stern and a bit controlling with Harry but loves his son all the same, despite being a supervillain. [[spoiler:He unfortunately abandons this redeeming aspect after Harry turns on him for masquerading as the Hobgoblin to kill Spider-Man, and later when tries to fight both youths as the Dark Goblin]]. |
| 160 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: The Jackal approached Norman about working together on an army of spider soldiers and got turned down. Not only that but Norman is viciously driven to prevent this spider army's creation and opts for destroying the resources that would enable the plan rather than taking for his own use. |
| 161 | * EvilCounterpart: |
| 162 | ** To Max Modell. Whereas Max prefers to work ethically and students to work together, Norman doesn't care about ethics and encourages competition between each other, even at its most extreme. |
| 163 | ** To Uncle Ben. Whereas Ben taught Peter to use talents to help others in his own way, Norman tries to mold his son into a direction he prefers. |
| 164 | * EvilIsOneBigHappyFamily: Norman welcomes all to his faculty those who are morally bankrupt, or who feel betrayed by Modell for denying a chance at their work. |
| 165 | * FauxAffablyEvil: He keeps a courteous and pleasant tone while talking with Modell, but it's pretty clear that behind this thin-veiled façade, he has a very clear disdain for the man. Most of the other characters who personally know Norman [[DevilInPlainSight know it's an act immediately]]. |
| 166 | * Fiction500: Casually founds an entire academy filled with state-of-the-art technology in virtually no time at all. Then again, he ''is'' the [[CorruptCorporateExecutive CEO of Oscorp]], a rival of various industries. |
| 167 | * ForScience: He's more than willing to manipulate two teenagers who are best friends into attacking each other with lethal sonic weaponry just to see the full capabilities of their creations. |
| 168 | * {{Gaslighting}}: [[spoiler:Had Spencer set up Harry on purpose as an excuse to set up Osborn Academy to have Harry enrolled there, and then guilt-trips Harry and carefully derails his son's confidence to make dependent on his father's tutelage. This is a classic Norman trick common across all adaptations. He also does the same thing to Doctor Octopus, giving incorrect information as to a cure for the Lizard, then pinning the blame on Spider-Man and leaking to news outlets that Otto is responsible for the Lizard's towering form that trashed the New York City]]. |
| 169 | * GoneHorriblyRight: [[spoiler:He attempts to mold Harry Osborn into a superhero due to the impact on his legacy it would make. Harry ''does'' become the Hobgoblin, but his son also finally realizes Norman has been manipulating him. ''Maximum Venom'' goes a step further: Harry tells his father, in no uncertain terms, that he's [[YoureNotMyFather disowned him]]]]. |
| 170 | * GreaterScopeVillain: Like his Ultimate Universe depiction, this version's recurrent as the instigator in a lot of story arcs. It's his work with the Jackal that lead to the creation of the spider-based genetic enhancements that empowered Peter, Miles, Gwen and Anya. His scheming to secure greater glory to the Osborn name lead to the creation of Osborn Academy where a lot of supervillains (and one superhero) got their start. |
| 171 | * HateSink: Unlike the [[WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan2012 previous series]], this version is a complete {{Jerkass}} who [[spoiler:manipulates his own son in order to mold into his personal vision]], keeping him in line with his comic counterpart. |
| 172 | * HiddenAgendaVillain: Osborn has some plan or the other, involving [[spoiler:the Jackal's experiments on spiders, originally hoping to create super soldiers until he discontinued this research]]. |
| 173 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: His manipulations end up hurting him in a big way: |
| 174 | ** [[spoiler:After revealing he owns Octavius's technology, Doc Ock takes control of the Oz Commandos whilst revealing an intent to take over Norman's company]]. |
| 175 | ** [[spoiler:Norman destroying the Jackal's spider soldier technology is what led to the spider virus being airborne and New York City's citizens are turned in Spider-Creatures]]. |
| 176 | * {{Hypocrite}}: He accuses Modell of being a GloryHound, but one of his main reasons for setting up Osborn Academy was to prove he could make a better school than Horizon High. [[spoiler:And "The Hobgoblin" arc reveals that he hates Spider-Man ''far'' more for being a hero before Harry could, essentially because this robbed the Osborn legacy of such a powerful figure]]. |
| 177 | * IHaveNoSon: [[spoiler:"Then you failed me, and deserve what you've wrought!"]] |
| 178 | * ILied: [[spoiler:He promised Connors he would fully cure the Lizard's condition if he's restored. Once it's done, however, he admits that the cure was only temporary and that there is no way to make it permanent, and the promise was a trick to make Connors work for him.]] |
| 179 | * ItsAllAboutMe: [[spoiler:He does not hesitate to hurt, frame, manipulate, or even ''kill'' others in order to get what he wants; framing Harry and Otto to get them kicked out of Horizon so he could have them at Osborn Academy, and wanting Spider-Man dead so he would not be competition for glory.]] |
| 180 | * {{Jerkass}}: He's a terrible person and is very upfront about this. |
| 181 | * JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Norman ''thinks'' he is a JerkWithAHeartOfGold with his claims on being stern and tough yet ultimately wanting Harry to do good, but he's vile and cruel deep down. |
| 182 | * KickTheDog: He deliberately sets Herman and Clayton against each other after he sees that they're a team. [[spoiler:Then he sends Alistair Smythe against Spencer.]] |
| 183 | * {{Leitmotif}}: Often accompanied by a quiet, eerie theme whenever he shows up. |
| 184 | * ManipulativeBastard: Can get most people to do what he wants simply by talking to them and preying on their fears, insecurities and desires, letting him get away with any one of his "experiments" since he didn't have to get his own hands dirty. |
| 185 | * MythologyGag: |
| 186 | ** He's briefly called "Normie" is an apparent nod to his grandson Normie Osborn. |
| 187 | ** His Spider-King form is similar to his voice actor's [[WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan well-known role]]. |
| 188 | ** [[spoiler:His Hobgoblin impersonation is similar to what his mainstream counterpart did in the ''ComicBook/SuperiorSpiderMan'' comics.]] |
| 189 | * NeverFoundTheBody: [[spoiler:His body wasn't found which leads to Peter and Harry believing he's still alive.]] |
| 190 | * NotHisSled: This version doesn't use the Green Goblin moniker, [[spoiler:however, he embraces the Dark Goblin name in ''Maximum Venom'']]. |
| 191 | * RedHerring: |
| 192 | ** During the "Spider-Island" arc, Norman is dubbed the Spider-King, leading Peter to believe he's the Man-Spiders' leader. [[spoiler:{{Subverted|Trope}} as his actual status is a figurehead, and the Jackal is the true leader.]] |
| 193 | ** [[spoiler:Norman's body wasn't found, leading to Harry to believe he seemingly returns in Season 2's "Goblin War" arc as the Goblin King. {{Subverted|Trope}} as his actual status remains uncertain (at the time), and Adrian Toomes is the Goblin King.]] |
| 194 | * TheResenter: [[spoiler:Big time. He wanted Harry to be a hero of the new generation. But after Spider-Man showed up, he came to the conclusion that Spider-Man was stealing his son's thunder and made several plots to get rid of Spider-Man and get the Osborn name into the spotlight.]] |
| 195 | * SanitySlippage: [[spoiler:His defeat and near death in Season 1's finale has taken a toll on his mind, getting completely obsessed with revenge on Spider-Man. As the Dark Goblin, he refuses to acknowledge his humanity.]] |
| 196 | * SayingTooMuch: [[spoiler:While attacking as the Hobgoblin, he told Spider-Man that he would learn the web-slinger's secret identity before killing, making Spider-Man realize that it wasn't Harry attacking since Harry already knew Spider-Man's true identity.]] |
| 197 | * StageDad: [[spoiler:Wants to mold Harry into his idea of the hero that New York City needs, and got Harry kicked out of Horizon and set up Osborn Academy so he could keep a closer eye on and mentor himself instead of letting Max influence his son.]] |
| 198 | * StartMyOwn: After Harry's suspended from Horizon High, it's mentioned that his dad wants to start his own, better school. He makes due on that promise in "Osborn Academy", and it's out of spite for how Modell and the other students at Horizon treated Harry. [[spoiler:Given the plot to frame Harry was his idea, Norman was planning it from the start.]] |
| 199 | * ThatManIsDead: [[spoiler:As the Dark Goblin, he refuses to be called Norman Osborn ever again, and even insists that Spider-Man is Peter's true self.]] |
| 200 | * TrailersAlwaysSpoil: [[spoiler:His survival is spoiled by the trailer of "Generations".]] |
| 201 | * TruerToTheText: Compared to his [[WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan2012 somewhat sympathetic counterpart]], this version is more similar to his comics counterpart, lacking redeeming qualities and whose interests are completely self-serving. He also largely appropriates other people's inventions rather than creating his own in this adaptation, which is more in-line with the early Steve Ditko comics, where it's implied his often used tech as the Green Goblin is stolen from his partner Mendell Stromm. |
| 202 | * UngratefulBastard: Max officially clears Harry of all charges, and how does Norman repay Horizon High? Burns all bridges by with Osborn Academy and convinces Harry not to go back to Horizon, all because he can't forgive Horizon for not believing in Harry. [[spoiler:The fact that it was Norman who framed Harry and started the situation is all the more hypocritical and cynical.]] |
| 203 | ** [[spoiler:Norman had Spencer frame Harry in exchange for a position within Oscorp but reneged the deal.]] |
| 204 | ** [[spoiler:Connors helped execute his benefactor's plans in exchange for a cure as the Lizard to which the Dark Goblin repays by refusing and bragging that the cures he supplied were always temporary.]] |
| 205 | * VillainHasAPoint: |
| 206 | ** Despite the nefarious purpose behind his school, it's hard to argue against him when he mentions that Harry's classmates didn't stand by him when he was accused. Max in particular, while being a ReasonableAuthorityFigure about the whole thing ''and'' being smart enough to recognize Smythe framing him, still chose to suspend Harry before he absolutely had to. [[spoiler:Then again, the whole plot to frame Harry was Norman's idea, anyway. Nonetheless, the fact that those who knew Harry for the longest time didn't believe in his innocence in such a situation justifies that sentiment.]] |
| 207 | ** He also didn't want Harry to debut his flying glider at the Stark Expo. Though Norman probably had his own agenda for the glider, he was still right to tell Harry not to present it there, considering the expo gets hijacked and almost everybody's experiments there are destroyed. Harry later understood afterwards. |
| 208 | ** Although Max is the one who acknowledges it, no matter how morally bankrupt people see Norman as, he has the right to run his school as he sees fit, so Max has no say in the matter. |
| 209 | * VillainousBreakdown: |
| 210 | ** In "The Rise of Doc Ock, Part 4", [[spoiler:when he finds out that the Oz Commandos were no longer under his control results in him (for the first time in the series) stumbling, losing his coolheadedness (seen when he tries to kill the four experimental Spiders), and being legitimately afraid for his life]]. |
| 211 | ** In "The Hobgoblin", [[spoiler:he drops his FauxAffablyEvil act after being discovered as the Hobgoblin promptly trying to kill Spider-Man and then viciously disowns his son for refusing to follow his orders]]. |
| 212 | * WaistcoatOfStyle: This version sports one constantly, rather than the usual double-breasted suits he wears. |

| 221 | ---- |
| 222 | * AdaptationalAttractiveness: The Hobgoblin outfit is still a bit sinister, but is definitely designed for a superhero rather than a supervillain this time around. Rather than the original version's unflattering hood/cape/spandex/tunic combo and hideous ExpressiveMask, this version is a Goblin-themed suit of PoweredArmor with a HeroicBuild and LanternJawOfJustice that resembles ComicBook/IronMan and ComicBook/AntMan. |
| 223 | * AdaptationalHeroism: Played with. Most incarnations are villains, [[spoiler:however, Harry Osborn is depicted as a hero. Subverted with Norman Osborn's impersonation]]. |
| 224 | * AdaptedOut: Roderick Kingsley and Phil Urich are nowhere to be seen as the Hobgoblin. |
| 225 | * CastAsAMask: The Hobgoblin alter ego shares the same voice actor as Harry Osborn (voiced by Creator/MaxMittelman) as well as the antagonistic impersonator [[spoiler:who is unmasked to be Norman Osborn (voiced by Creator/JoshKeaton)]]. |
| 226 | * CompositeCharacter: This version of Hobgoblin is an amalgamation of Urich with the flame sword and sonic scream, and Kingsley with the flying glider. [[spoiler:Plus the identity being used by Harry such as his Ultimate counterpart]]. |
| 227 | * CoolSword: The Hobgoblin uses a blade made out of fire. |
| 228 | * DecompositeCharacter: In-universe. [[spoiler:The Hobgoblin mantle is used by Harry primarily as a hero while Norman's impersonation comes off as a villain]]. |
| 229 | * EvilCounterpart: [[spoiler:Norman-Goblin]] is one to Spider-Man. Whereas Spider-Man makes sure civilians are safe from danger, the Hobgoblin will actually welcome collateral damage. |
| 230 | * {{Foil}}: [[spoiler:Harry-Goblin]] is one to Spider-Man. While Spider-Man relies on spider strength, the Hobgoblin replies on an arsenal of weapons. Both make their own respective tech, however, Spider-Man has limited resources while the Hobgoblin has Oscorp's limitless resources. |
| 231 | * MythologyGag: The Hobgoblin alter-ego being created by Oscorp is an homage to the [[WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries 1990s animated series]]. |

| 251 | A substance found in outer space, with properties that enhance Spider-Man's powers and webbing. |
| 252 | ---- |
| 253 | * AdaptedOut: One of the abilities the Venom Suit gave to its hosts was [[spoiler:Spider-Man's identity. Flash Thompson was the host in season 1, but doesn't know who is Spider-Man. Subverted once Eddie Brock was the host in season 2, retaining the knowledge of Spider-Man's identity]]. |
| 254 | * AdaptationalVillainy: Most iterations of Venom are only villainous as a result of absorbing the negative thoughts and emotions of their previous hosts and typically only fixate on Peter Parker and Eddie at most. [[spoiler:This version is revealed in ''Maximum Venom'' to actually be a scout for a full-blown AlienInvasion.]] |
| 255 | * AliensAreBastards: [[spoiler:It's revealed in "Web of Venom" that it intentionally crash landed on Earth to signal an AlienInvasion.]] |
| 256 | * ArcVillain: The V-252 itself in season 1 takes center stage in "Sandman", "Symbiotic Relationship" and "Stark Expo" before being separated by Peter and returns five episodes later in "Venom". In season 2, [[spoiler:Venom bonds with Eddie]] for "Dead Man's Party" and "Venom Returns". |
| 257 | * BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil: Being trapped in a jar for over 3 years and being experimented on has likely made the V-252 not very friendly towards humans. [[spoiler:Venom kidnaps Max Modell, Gwen Stacy and Anya Corazon to get revenge in "Venom Returns" and points out the mistreatment in "Superior".]] |
| 258 | * BigBadEnsemble: One of the key villains of the series. Venom is the vanguard of the Kylntar invasion, making him a threat entirely independent of Oscorp, the Jackal, and Doc Ock. He functions as an ArcVillain throughout the first two seasons, before settling into a proper BigBad for Maximum Venom. |
| 259 | * TheCorrupter: Peter gradually loses his moral compass and starts getting more aggressive and egotistical, the more the Venom Symbiote is bonded. |
| 260 | * EvilSoundsDeep: As per tradition with the character, his voice (as [[spoiler:Eddie-Venom]]) is particularly deep, with an alien filter on top. |
| 261 | * FinalBoss: Venom serves as the final villain of ''Maximum Venom'' and pretty much the entire series overall. |
| 262 | * InterimVillain: In season 2, Venom takes over as the main villain when Doctor Octopus is put in a coma. Once Venom is defeated, Doc Ock returns to BigBad status. |
| 263 | * KnightOfCerebus: Same as it was in ''[[WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan2012 Ultimate Spider-Man]]'', his presence often darkens the show's fairly lighthearted tone, [[spoiler:especially after bonding with Eddie]]. |
| 264 | * JaggedMouth: When it causes Peter to lash out at Aunt May, it forms a serrated mouth. In all subsequent appearances, it has it on full-time often alongside MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily. |
| 265 | * {{Leitmotif}}: Accompanied by a [[DarkReprise distorted, slightly off-key]] version of Spider-Man's theme. |
| 266 | * MythologyGag: Venom's appearance when bonded to various hosts his comics counterpart's form albeit differently: |
| 267 | ** His appearance when bonded with [[spoiler:Flash in season 1 and Curt Connors in ''Maximum Venom'']] matches his first monstrous form from the comics. |
| 268 | ** His appearance when bonded with [[spoiler:Eddie in season 2]] matches Mac Gargan's form in the comics. |
| 269 | ** His appearance when bonded with [[spoiler:Max]] in ''Maximum Venom'' matches Flash's form in the comics. |
| 270 | ** Its ID number (V-252) references the first appearance of the Venom symbiote (as "The Alien Costume") in ''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #252 (May 1984). |
| 271 | * PowerEchoes: This series marks the first time effects are added to Peter's voice when wearing the V-252 as a costume instead of just limiting it to Venom. |
| 272 | * SignificantDoubleCasting: Venom has the same voice actor as [[spoiler:Flash Thompson in "Venom" and Eddie Brock in "Dead Man's Party" and "Venom Returns"]]. |
| 273 | * SpotTheImposter: A villainous example in "Superior" where, while seeking revenge on the web-slinger's rejection, the Venom symbiote clashes with [[spoiler:Superior Spider-Man]] at Midtown High; [[spoiler:its new ability to interface with people's memories leads it to realize that it had not been fighting Peter but Otto Octavius [[{{Sucksessor}} who it dismisses as a fraud]]]]. |
| 274 | * SuddenlyVoiced: Whereas he didn't speak in his self-titled episode while bonded to Flash, he has his first speaking role in "Dead Man's Party" when he's bonded to [[spoiler:Eddie]]. |
| 275 | * TheSymbiote: It is a black, amorphous entity that bonds to a host who it augments at the cost of turning into a vicious monster. |
| 276 | * TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:After having been experimented on, it now has the ability to communicate with its host, and has a much higher resistance toward loud noises, previously the Venom symbiote's most easily exploitable weakness.]] |
| 277 | ** He's revealed to have taken another one in "Superior". [[spoiler:Not only does he have much more control over his body, he also ''doesn't need a host''. In addition, he can forcibly bond himself to others in order to use their memories. He's effectively an EldritchAbomination at this point.]] |
| 278 | * TheVoiceless: Unlike most versions, Venom attached to [[spoiler:Flash]] doesn't speak and only hisses and roars. This is averted when Venom speaks due to being attached on [[spoiler:Eddie]]. |

This version is shown to be a much higher-ranking symbiote who can overpower and give marching orders to Venom. She also has an alien host who has sonic abilities. |

| 362 | * BerserkButton: He doesn't like it when someone insults his dad. |

| 364 | * CompositeCharacter: Temporarily dons the Vulture suit much like Blackie Drago. |

| 375 | * AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: [[spoiler:In "The Day Without Spider-Man", he grows to a larger size after getting blasted by the Bloodstone]]. |
| 376 | * BewareMyStingerTail: As per usual with the Scorpion, his main method to fight is a gigantic tail with a stinger. He can also use it to shoot beams in this incarnation. |
| 377 | * BitPartBadGuy: In the second episode, he shows up robbing a museum without much context as to who he is or how he got his suit, just to give Spidey someone to fight in the BatmanColdOpen. |
| 378 | * DecompositeCharacter: His comic counterpart's status as Venom's third major host is [[spoiler:Eddie]] instead. |
| 379 | * DemotedToExtra: Compared to all of Spider-Man's other mainstay antagonists who show up in the series, a majority of whom have gotten an origin story. The Scorpion gets no backstory or even any context as to who he is. |
| 380 | ** Averted where he has a much bigger role in "The Day Without Spider-Man", where he teams up with the Tinkerer. |
| 381 | * EnergyWeapon: This version's stinger shoots lasers rather than the venom most iterations are infamous for in most media. |

| 390 | ---- |
| 391 | * AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: This version isn't romantically interested in Spider-Man, unlike other incarnations. |
| 392 | * BoyishShortHair: Her hair in the series is a short, messy bob, to go with the more {{Tomboy}} appearance she has. |
| 393 | * ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: After her cameo in "How I Thwipped My Summer Vacation", she never appears again, not even during the symbiote invasion. |
| 394 | * ClassyCatBurglar: A staple of the character, although this version doesn't mind stealing stuff in broad daylight. |
| 395 | * DemotedToExtra: Outside of her debut episode and the Season 2 premiere, she doesn't play much of a role in the series. Her real name is never uttered once, nor does it show up in the credits of either episode. |
| 396 | * DidntThinkThisThrough: Steals a car from a local dealership, apparently not knowing car dealers intentionally keep exhibit cars at low gas. |
| 397 | * {{Expy}}: She can be seen as one to Catwoman, due to her cat burglar shtick and being rather playful with the hero. She's even voiced by her voice actress from the ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamSeries''. |
| 398 | * TheGadfly: Spends her entire debut episode messing with Spidey and treating attempts to apprehend her as if it's some big game. She also doesn't take it badly when Spidey hands her over to the cops. |
| 399 | * HartmanHips: This verion of Felicia has a big butt and wide hips, this is a way to convey her sex appeal in a way that doesn't invoke the wrath of the censors by highlighting her chest. |
| 400 | * KarmaHoudini: Zig-zagged. This version, unlike most versions, gets arrested as while Spider-Man actually is bothered by this, but it's implied she'll break out before she even makes it to jail. |
| 401 | * LogicalWeakness: If she were to look at a mirror while her bad luck powers are active, she herself gets inflicted with misfortune. |
| 402 | * WindsOfDestinyChange: She can affect luck. To be more specific, inflict bad luck on anyone she looks at if she wishes to. |
| 403 | * WorthyOpponent: Seems eager to tangle with Spider-Man again after Spidey managing to defeat her. |

| 411 | Flint Marko's estranged daughter who was taken by Hammerhead. |
| 412 | ---- |
| 413 | * AdaptationalBadass: This version inherits her father's abilities, while her comics counterpart was a regular human girl. This aspect of her character may have been taken instead from ''ComicBook/SpiderManReign''. |
| 414 | * AdaptationalVillainy: Her comics counterpart was a CheerfulChild and supportive of her father and didn't understand that the latter was a villain. This version, however, is hostile and resentful towards Flint and joins Hammerhead. Although she inherits her father's powers, she outright seemingly kills Flint. |
| 415 | * AdaptationNameChange: Her comics counterpart had the last name Alvarado, but this version has her father's last name Marko. |
| 416 | * AgeLift: Her comics counterpart was about seven or eight when meeting the adult Spider-Man. This version's a teenager at the same time Spider-Man is. |
| 417 | * AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:Keemia gets turned into a glass statue by Superior Spider-Man in season 2. Normally, viewers would feel bad for her given her rough life. Then again, since she possibly murdered her father in season 1, it's hard to muster sympathy for her]]. |
| 418 | * {{Bifauxnen}}: Keemia dresses in punk clothes and has a boyish look, but is a girl. |
| 419 | * TheBusCameBack: She returns in season 2, apparently as a crime boss. |
| 420 | * CallingTheOldManOut: In Season 1, she berates her father's criminal activities during their fight. She also outright tells her old man how stupid it was for bringing her anywhere near Hammerhead, and then leaving her alone. |
| 421 | * CompositeCharacter: She has the antagonistic and criminal traits that are usually associated with her father from the comics and other versions. |
| 422 | * TheDarkSideWillMakeYouForget: When she appears in Flint's flashback, she seems to be at most aloof. When she's revealed to be working for Hammerhead, she doesn't sound completely sane anymore and is borderline berserk. |
| 423 | * DespairEventHorizon: By the time Spider-Man and Flint track her down in Season 1, she seems to have completely given up on her dreams of studying hard and carving out a brighter future for herself than her less-educated criminal father. Instead, she accepts she has no options other than to be a criminal too and throws herself into the role with a manic, berserk fervor. |
| 424 | * TheDragon: Serves as this for Hammerhead. |
| 425 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Sort of. Although she's Flint's daughter, she says that she hates Flint before possibly crushing her father into dust. |
| 426 | ** That said, Keemia only got mutated when she followed her father into the factory because she was frightened, and clearly thought she would be safe. She was tragically wrong. |
| 427 | * EvilCostumeSwitch: In Season 2, she is now shown wearing a red beanie and a redshirt. |
| 428 | * EvilCounterpart: To Spider-Man. She's encouraged to use her powers for personal gain by someone she considers a surrogate father, rather than using these abilities responsibly. |
| 429 | * EvilGenius: During her MotiveRant in Season 1, she mentions being very good at science ([[RunningGag like seemingly everyone else in the series thus far]]), having studied hard in order to build a brighter future for herself than the one her father has. She also figures out her powers and how to use them much sooner than her father did. |
| 430 | * EyeScream: Her right eye is made of sand as a result of her mutation, which explains her hair covering the right side of her face. |
| 431 | ** Unlike Flint being able to pass for human completely, her eye seems to be in a permanent state of sand. While she can pass for a regular girl with her hair hanging over it, all it takes is a breeze to blow the hair out of the way... |
| 432 | * HateSink: While Keemia ''does'' have a reason for her nasty temperament, it doesn't justify her decisions, and she ends up being viler than the original Sandman ever was. Not only does she seemingly murder her father, but she also is a mob enforcer. And tries to kill Spider-Man as well, ''just for trying to help!'' [[spoiler:It's pretty much satisfying to see Superior Spider-Man turn her into a glass sculpture]]. |
| 433 | * {{Hypocrite}}: |
| 434 | ** In season one, she admonishes her father for his criminal lifestyle and hates him for the accident that gave her superpowers, but ended up joining the exact same gang that tried to murder him and indirectly gave her powers that she freely uses. By the time of her return in season two, she's become a worse criminal than her father ever was (and is clearly [[EvilFeelsGood enjoying]] every minute of it). |
| 435 | ** In Season two, she claims Spider-Man is "just a kid", even though she's a teenager herself. |
| 436 | * {{Jerkass}}: A major one. When her father and Spider-Man show up to rescue her, she rudely says the fight doesn't concern Spider-Man. |
| 437 | * KarmaHoudini: In season 1, she escapes after Spider-Man has defeated Hammerhead's goons and tries to capture her. She returns in season 2, still on the run from the police. |
| 438 | * KarmaHoudiniWarranty: When she finally does make another appearance, [[spoiler:the Superior Spider-Man sets off a trap [[AndIMustScream to turn her into glass]], [[LiterallyShatteredLives and would have shattered her to pieces if it weren't for the Ultimate Spider-Man]]]]. |
| 439 | * KickTheDog: She seemingly kills Flint, even though her father outright refuses to fight back. This leads to Spider-Man unleashing the V-252 suit and defeating her. |
| 440 | * LockedOutOfTheLoop: She seems honestly unaware that the "accident" behind her and Flint's abilities was in fact a deliberate attempt by Hammerhead to kill her father, blaming her father for it instead of her savior. |
| 441 | * NeverMyFault: She blames her father for getting her involved in the "accident" behind both of their superpowers, even though it was her decision to sneak out of the car and enter the building he was in. |
| 442 | ** Crosses with VillainHasAPoint, though. What kind of father would bring his teenage daughter to a place where he was planning to meet a crime boss... and then leave her all alone in the car? |
| 443 | * TheQueenpin: She becomes a crime boss in Season 2, and a young one at that. |
| 444 | * SelfMadeOrphan: Seemingly [[{{Patricide}} kills her father]] in a fit of rage. |
| 445 | * TragicMonster: The reason she got mutated as well was because she was afraid to be left alone in an unfamiliar place, and so followed her father. Her MotiveRant as she attacks during the climax reveals that she'd worked hard in order to avoid going down the same path of the criminal her father did, but now that she was a mutated freak that was all for nothing. |
| 446 | * UngratefulBitch: She hates her father for working for a criminal in spite of everything done was to support her. And by the time Flint and Spider-Man show up to rescue her, she attacks the two relentlessly. |
| 447 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In spite of being introduced in a fairly plot-important episode, she's completely unaccounted for by the end of season 1, and doesn't show up in any of Hammerhead's other appearances. She finally shows up again in season 2. |
| 448 | * TheWorfEffect: She manages to defeat her father and nearly kill Spider-Man, up until the V-252 merges with Spidey, resulting in her being on the ropes. |

| 460 | * BullyingADragon: Antagonizes Mackiln and gets frozen to the wall for it. |
| 461 | * ButtMonkey: Out of the recurring villains, he's the most likely to be humiliated or left in a precarious position, often thanks to his own actions (the area he's hiding out with Keemia ends up destroyed, he gets frozen by Blizzard, and [[PoorCommunicationKills doesn't disclose the importance of an encrypted thumb-drive]] to Absorbing Man to keep things simple which sabotages his operations). |
| 462 | * TheCorrupter: Turned Keemia against Sandman. |

| 464 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: While he's clearly manipulating Keemia, he has genuine love for his 8 year old son Tully. |
| 465 | * QualityVsQuantity: Expresses the belief that while supervillains are more expensive than regular hoods, they also make more to make up for it. |
| 466 | * PetTheDog: Downplayed. He takes in Keemia and even helps restore Keemia after being exposed to the same mixture of sand and toxic waste that he tried to kill Sandman with. That said, he also gleefully manipulated Keemia's vulnerable emotional state in order to gain her loyalty. |

| 488 | ---- |
| 489 | * AdaptationalComicRelief: While still an adept hunter, he's fond of constantly plugging his show and at one point gives Peter an ''autograph''. |
| 490 | * ArtificialLimbs: This version has a robotic right arm, unlike his other versions. |
| 491 | * BrokenPedestal: Played for comedy; Miles used to be a big fan of his show, and is understandably disappointed when Kraven decides to go after them. |
| 492 | * CompositeCharacter: This version's based off of his initial appearance in the ''Ultimate Spider-Man'' comics, having a reality TV show, but has the combat proficiency of the 616 counterpart. His appearance also evokes how his second son Alyosha looked when fighting ComicBook/ThePunisher. |
| 493 | * DisabledInTheAdaptation: In contrast to his mainstream portrayal, this version of Kraven has a cataract in his right eye and a robotic right arm. |
| 494 | * DreadlockWarrior: He has rather [[{{WesternAnimation/Tarzan}} Tarzan-like]] hair as befitting a skilled [[EgomaniacHunter big game hunter]]. |
| 495 | * EgomaniacHunter: ''Very'' egomaniacal. |
| 496 | * EvilCannotComprehendGood: In "Spider Island", is surprised when Peter [[TakesTheBullet takes the electroshock he meant for a mutated Norman]] and asks him why he did that, and Harry answers before blasting him that's because Peter is his best friend. |
| 497 | * EyeScream: He has an unexplained scar over his left eye, possibly an occupational hazard. |
| 498 | * HonorBeforeReason: After being humiliated by Peter and Miles, he decides to outright try and kill the two, and almost passes them up on saving his life on the basis he failed, and that he deserved to die. |
| 499 | * LargeHam: One of the most LaughablyEvil villains on the show due to how theatrical he is, unable to resist talking to the camera and advertising products from his show at any given moment. Troy Baker is put to good use here. |
| 500 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: He bears a striking resemblance towards Creator/DannyTrejo. |
| 501 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: He's got a slightly more exaggerated, cartoonish appearance than the rest of the cast, most notably his [[FangsAreEvil sharp teeth]]. |
| 502 | * WorthyOpponent: In "Spider-Island Part 3", Peter gives him such a good fight that, after losing, Kraven gives an autographed photo. |

| 512 | ---- |
| 513 | * AdaptedOut: The first two versions of Blizzard (Gregor Shapanka and Donald Gill) are unmentioned, making it appear that Randall Macklin is the identity's bearer in this continuity. |
| 514 | * AnIcePerson: The ice gauntlet he gets allows him to create a field of ice around himself, make an icy PoweredArmor, and also freeze over New York. |
| 515 | * TheDogBitesBack: Given that Hammerhead insisted on treating him like a regular mook, after giving Randall the idea behind being a supervillain, along with Hammerhead's already previously seen emotional manipulation of Keemia, it's hard to not see Randall's actions as at least somewhat karmic. |
| 516 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: He's a ''lot'' more dangerous once he starts getting the hang of the gauntlet's abilities. |
| 517 | * MundaneUtility: Inverted. That gauntlet he stole from Peter and Harry? It was created for the purpose of ''refrigerating food'', but became unexpectedly powerful after a gem was put in it, and Randall decided to use it to freeze over New York instead. |
| 518 | * NoOntologicalInertia: The gauntlet alters his body as he uses it, with the right side of his hair being snow white, an icicle growing out of his shoulder, and having clearly blue veins, but having it removed immediately changes him back. |
| 519 | * NotWearingTights: He did not bother wearing a costume after becoming a Supervillain. |
| 520 | * RoguesGalleryTransplant: Blizzard is traditionally an ''ComicBook/IronMan'' villain, but the character's spotlight episode doesn't feature Iron Man in any way, and also ties his origin story to an invention Peter and Harry created.

| 533 | * DumbMuscle: He is pretty stupid, seeing as he didn't know some of the stuff Hammerhead was talking about and went onto Screwball's site to complain about Spidey while around Hammerhead. |

| 563 | * AdaptationalVillainy: Downplayed. He's the same TragicVillain as in other incarnations, but works for Oscorp, a company that is distinctly established to be very shady. [[spoiler:It's less downplayed in his return in ''Maximum Venom'', where he's willingly acting as TheMole for Norman Osborn and unleashes the Technovore and frames Grady before proceeding to oust Max from Horizon High by orchestrating a series of disasters to make Max come off as reckless and irresponsible. Admittedly, it's later revealed that he did so under Norman's orders because he was that desperate to cure his Lizard condition, but he seems shockingly gleeful about getting Max fired from Horizon.]] |

| 580 | * LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:For all the things he did to Spider-Man and Max just so he could be cured, Connors is transformed back into the Lizard. He even loses his position as the principal of Horizon High, which is given back to Max.]] |
| 581 | * PermaStubble: He sports a prominent five-o-clock shadow. |
| 582 | * ProfessorGuineaPig: [[spoiler:Subverted]]; when introduced, he initially is presented as being this just like in the comics, but [[spoiler:this is later revealed to be a lie; Osborn was the one who injected him with the lizard formula and used it to blackmail him]]. |
| 583 | * PsychoticSmirk: [[spoiler:He does this twice in "Spider-Man Unmasked": one from when Spider-Man unmasks himself to be Peter Parker; and two when he gains the position of intern principal from Max.]] |
| 584 | * SwissArmyWeapon: His prosthetic arm can hack into control panels, [[spoiler:which he uses to infiltrate Max's secret lab with the artificial symbiote]]. |
| 585 | * TragicVillain: As usual, though with a twist. This version is introduced as having the same origin than usual, but it's eventually revealed [[spoiler:''Norman'' was the one who willingly turned him into a lizard, then used the promise of a perfected formula to regrow his arm to blackmail him. Connors still is blatantly not comfortable with the situation, though, and begs Norman to stop. And then he becomes another unwilling host for Venom at the start of Season 3, though he's a lot less sympathetic with just how much seeming pleasure he takes in having Max removed from Horizon High and his general lack of remorse towards the terrible things he has done, even if it was all to cure his condition]]. |
| 586 | * TruerToTheText: While Connors' characterization is [[AdaptationalVillainy significantly more villainous]], his Lizard design is a more straightforward recreation of the comic design than in ''WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan2012'', retaining the comic incarnation's general body shape and labcoat, unlike the prior show's more radical redesign (which [[WalkingShirtlessScene removed his labcoat entirely]] and added spines on his head). |
| 587 | * TyrantTakesTheHelm: [[spoiler:In "Spider-Man Unmasked", he is given full control of Horizon High by the Head Administrator. While he does allow Peter to continue his studies, he forbids him from stepping on school grounds as Spider-Man. In "Generations", the atmosphere at Horizon High is noticeably darker as he implements stricter rules. Thankfully, he loses that position after Norman's confession is recorded and Max is reinstated at the school.]] |
| 588 | * TheUsurper: [[spoiler:He successfully takes over Max's position as the principal of Horizon High. Fortunately, it doesn't last very long.]] |

| 864 | * EvilCannotComprehendGood: When he's confronted by Cloak and Dagger for revenge, Stone actually believes the two should be grateful despite being victims in his experiment. |

| 893 | A mysterious villain who has the powers of other supervillains held in the Cellar, a maximum security supervillain prison. |
| 894 | ---- |
| 895 | * AdaptationalVillainy: His comics counterpart did what he did because he lost his family in the crossfire of a superhero/supervillain battle, which incited deep resentment in him, and drove him to become the only hero the world would need.

| 899 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: In his introduction, he's extremely friendly and speaks with a clam cadence more suited to a yoga instructor than a prison warden. He's significantly more hammy when he drops the act. |

| 926 | * AdaptationalNonsapience: While Technovore had a moderate level of intelligence in the comics and other animated media, this version is more of a mindless animal that only roars. |
| 927 | * RoguesGalleryTransplant: While a foe of Iron Man, this version fights Spider-Man. |

| 943 | -> '''Voiced by''': Creator/AlexDesert |
| 944 | |
| 945 | Miles's kind-hearted father. He is later a supervillain made up of robotic bees who runs an underground gladiator arena. |
| 946 | ---- |
| 947 | * AdaptationalNiceGuy: His comic counterpart is a general nice guy who detested mutants and other superhumans--though this was understandable as it was the ''ComicBook/UltimateMarvel'' universe where everyone is given the AdaptationalJerkass or even AdaptationalVillainy but he did warm to the Ultimate Spider-Man's alter ego some time after learning it's his son. This version's actually okay with Spidey and his son's alter ego from the start. Subverted in ''Maximum Venom'', where he dons the Swarm identity to get revenge for his neighborhood's endangerment -- though he's arguably still this as Fritz von Meyer (the original Swarm) was a literal Nazi. |
| 948 | * AdaptationalVillainy: While his original counterpart was a former agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. with some code of morals who turned to a life of crime while undercover, this version turns into a supervillain. |
| 949 | * AdaptationalWimp: This depiction is a normal civilian. This gets subverted later on when he takes on the Swarm identity. |
| 950 | * CompositeCharacter: His Swarm form is a mutated supervillain who is obsessed with Miles which envokes Conrad Marcus, along with his brother Aaron Davis in regards to being a family member. |
| 951 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: Miles's father turns into a supervillain who runs an underground gladiator arena. |
| 952 | * LockedOutOfTheLoop: He is the only member of the Dark Goblin's recruits who wasn't informed about Team Spider's identities. It is only until Miles unmasks himself that Jefferson realizes the error of his ways. |
| 953 | * LukeIAmYourFather: Miles's father is revealed to be Swarm. |
| 954 | * MeaningfulName: He is a ''swarm'' of purple nanotech bees, hence his alter ego's name. |
| 955 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Once Miles unmasks himself, Jefferson realizes he's been trying to hurt (even set to kill) his own son and sheds tears of regret. |
| 956 | * RevengeBeforeReason: He was ''so'' enraged that his neighborhood (and his son) was endangered in a superhuman fight that he accepted a deal to be a supervillain and destroy the superheroes, even though the former group are the main problem (especially with Osborn [[GreaterScopeVillain being behind most of them]]). He even ran an underground fight club where he mutated innocent people into more dangerous monsters which were forced to fight to the death against their will. He presumably realized the ramifications of what he's done when he discovers that his own son is Spy-D. |
| 957 | * TheWormThatWalks: As Swarm, he's made of robotic bees that give him a solid form. |
