16** The Mane 6 in general.
17** Princess Luna also gets a chance to show her power.
18** Every member of the Equestrian Avengers (with the exception of Peter).
19* AdaptationalJerkass: Twilight's ControlFreak tendencies lead to her being more than a little controlling of Peter, which may make her slightly unsympathetic in that regard.
20* AdaptationalVillainy: This story's portrayal of Venom lacks the moral complexity of his comic book incarnation. %%The same goes for Discord, as it goes with him never having been
21* AfterActionPatchUp: Twilight does this for Peter after [[spoiler: his final fight with Sombra,]] scolding him the entire time.

24* AlliterativeName: [[spoiler: Prince]] Peter Pony Parker.
25* AllLovingHero: Spidey. And everypony loves him, too.
26* AlternateContinuity: The Spider-Man of this fanfic seems to have elements from both the mainstream Marvel universe, and the Ultimate universe, as well as some elements from the films and video games. It is also an alternate continuation of MLP Season 3, since it takes place after Sombra's first defeat in the Crystal Empire.
27** And an offhand comment in Chapter 53, reveals that even ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom'' has already taken place in this continuity.
28** Turns out, this story's Marvel Universe is numbered 672, though it's apparently a close neighbor to 616.

30** Between Mayday's parents, Peter can be a touch TOO loving.

32%% * AngerBornOfWorry: Twilight is quite prone to do this.
33* {{Animorphism}}: Of the involuntary type.

35* AnythingYouCanDoICanDoBetter: Rainbow Dash, while trying to prove herself as a better hero than Spider-Mane in Chapter 4. [[spoiler: Or so she believes...]]
36* AscendedFangirl: Twilight Velvet is a big fan of Spider-Mane. And now her daughter is his marefriend. Oh my.
37* AsleepForDays: Peter, after [[spoiler: the accident in the Manehattan race.]]
38* AttentionWhore: Blueblood, to the point where [[spoiler: a lack of it, even from his own family, causes to throw his lot in with Discord.]]
39* BadassBookworm: Twilight Sparkle, particularly after [[spoiler: defeating the Hulk.]]
40** And Peter, of course.
41* BadassFamily: The Parker Sparkle family. Peter (Spider-Man), Twilight (Amethyst Sorceress and Princess of Friendship), and Mayday (a member of the Equestrian Avengers).
42* BarehandedBladeBlock: Peter does this during his fight with [[spoiler: King Sombra.]]
43* BattleCouple: Peter and Twilight, after [[spoiler: entering into the Marvel Universe.]]
44* BeingEvilSucks: Sonata. Out of every member of the Sinister Six, Sonata was too friendly to blend in. She even became friends with Peter, the guy they were meant to KILL. This eventually led to her HeelFaceTurn.
45%% * BeQuietNudge
46* BigBad: Discord initially seems like this, but in fact the true big bad is [[spoiler: ComicBook/NormanOsborn.]]
47** DragonAscendant: Who [[spoiler: Stole Discord's powers to take over.]]
48** TheStarscream: Against his will.
49** Glacius, a massive ice golem, is the closest thing there is to this in ''Eleven Months.''
50** [[spoiler: Future]] Queen Chrysalis is this for ''Days of Friendship Past.''
51** The new Sinister Six, [[spoiler: Tirek, Green Goblin, Electro, the Dazzlings, and Carnage, plus Venom and Starlight Glimmer,]] are this for ''The Fall of Spider-Mane.''
52** Starlight Glimmer for ''Equestrian Avengers: Shattered Dimensions.''
53** BigBadDuumvirate: Initially was shaping up to be this, [[spoiler: until Norman proved himself EvilerThanThou.]]
54* BigBrotherInstinct: [[spoiler: Shining Armor]] and his initial hostility towards Peter.
55* BigBrotherMentor: Peter for [[spoiler: the Cutie Mark Crusaders.]]
56* BigNo: [[spoiler: Twilight's reaction when she realizes that Peter is dead.]]
57* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: Norman Osborn is defeated, both worlds are saved and Spider-Man finally earns universal acceptance on Earth, and Peter leaves to live in Equestria with (now-pregnant) Twilight. However, Peter's alien origin is revealed to the Equestrians who now in turn treat him with fear and distrust, and other villains are already gathering to plot against Spider-Mane and Elements of Harmony.]]
58** [[spoiler: Subverted, partially. Even when the truth of his origins comes out, no one treats or thinks of Peter differently.]]

64* CarFu: Used by Princess Luna while [[spoiler: being controlled by Venom's Symbiote.]]
65* CassandraTruth: [[spoiler: Lyra, as per fanon, is obsessed with humans.]] [[spoiler: She]] saw Peter in his human form on the first day, but nobody believes that he's a human. Still applies even AFTER Spidey becomes a pony.
66* CharacterDevelopment: Peter, particularly. While he is still prone to moments of self loathing and doubt, he has come a long way from the BrokenHero that we are all familiar with.
67* TheChewToy: Peter. Constantly curses his "Parker Luck" for every insane shenanigan he suffers.
68* TheChosenOne: Spider-Man is the focus of a very ominous prophecy and [[spoiler: Discord needs him to die at a specific time for his plan to work.]]
69* {{Cliffhanger}}: There's a LOT of these in the story.
70* ComesGreatResponsibility: Inevitable, as the {{Trope Namer|s}} himself is the protagonist.
71%% * ComfortingComforter
72* TheComicallySerious: Luna, generally.
73** Funnily enough, ComicBook/DoctorStrange is not this. He's actually quite the snark master, and a bit of a flirt.
74* CompositeCharacter:
75** [[spoiler: After absorbing Discord's magic, the Green Goblin takes on the form of his ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan'' incarnation.]]
76** [[spoiler: Twilight takes the roles of SecondLove after the death of Gwen Stacy and mother of [[ComicBook/SpiderGirl Peter's daughter May]] from Mary Jane.]]
77* CoolSword: The Equestrian Saber, also known as Celsius.
78* CrushBlush: They happen quite often, and they're usually of the [[LuminescentBlush bright variety.]]
79%% * CryIntoChest
80* CurbStompBattle: Twilight delivers one to [[spoiler: Venom-Luna]] in Chapter 55.
81** Everyone is expecting, and looking forward to, Peter delivering one to Blueblood after the later challenges him to a duel. [[spoiler: Unfortunately Blueblood TookALevelInBadass by bonding to the Venom symbiote.]]
82** Chapter 59 has Peter delivering one to [[spoiler: Osborn.]]
83** During Fall of Spider-Mane, Patricia and Peter are beaten nearly to death by Morlun. However, it goes much worse for Peter, as his own eye is ripped out AND eaten during the fight.
84** During the battle with Tirek, [[spoiler: Peter while possessed by Nightmare]], absolutely annihilates him.
85* CutenessProximity: Peter suffers it. Oh, does Peter suffer it. And he feels the blow to his masculinity each time.
86* DarkActionGirl: [[spoiler: Sunset Shimmer.]]
87%% * DarkAndTroubledPast
88* DarkerAndEdgier: Obviously, when compared with MLP: FIM, especially since it incorporates some elements from the Ultimate Marvel universe (which loves this trope). For the most part, however, it's a pretty light story.
89* DeadpanSnarker: It's Spider-Man. He's obviously here.
90* DeathGlare: [[spoiler: Blueblood]] is given one by most of the Mane 6 in Chapter 40, after he insults Peter.
91** PlayedForLaughs. Twilight gives Peter one whenever she gets annoyed by some of his references.
92* DeathByAdaptation: Venom, Carnage, Green Goblin, Adagio Dazzle, Aria Blaze, Tirek, and Princess Celestia all bite it.
93* DeathSeeker: [[spoiler: King Sombra,]] as of Chapter 51.
94* DefeatMeansFriendship: Queen Umbra after Peter defeats her. Really, out of all of the Avengers, Peter seems to be the only one Umbra likes.
95** Hinted at with Glacius and Peter near the beginning of Part IV. After Peter beats him and leaves him food for his hibernation, Glacius simply accepts the food with a mild 'thank you' chest bump.
96* DefeatMeansRespect: [[spoiler: Sombra,]] after being defeated twice by Peter.
97** Ironically, Queen Umbra, a female version of King Sombra from Patricia Parker's Equestria, is bested by Peter. Afterwards, she gives her respect and joins his Avengers.
98* DefrostingIceQueen: There is a non romantic example, with Peter trying to win [[spoiler: Princess Luna's]] trust, and even teaching her to loosen up a little in the process. The non romantic part [[ShipTease starts to get a little iffy]] after he succeeds, especially in Chapter 35.
99** Also, [[spoiler: Trixie.]]
100** [[spoiler: In the aftermath of Fall of Spider-Mane, Queen Umbra is already showing signs of this trope.]]
101* DemotedToExtra: Mostly everyone outside the main and extended Parker-Sparkle family by the time of the fourth story.
102** Honestly, the only characters that remained in the forefront of the entire Spiders and Magic series from start to finish are Peter Peter, Twilight Sparkle, Trixie, and Princess Luna.
103* {{Determinator}}: Spider-Man, obviously. When the ponies start to learn more about his past and his reputation back in UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity, they can't help but admire his willingness to keep fighting for people that distrust him or outright hate him.
104** Also, Rainbow Dash, when trying to prove that she's a better hero than Pete, and going as far as to [[spoiler: enter into a dragon's lair as a "Test of Bravery."]]
105** And Lyra, and [[spoiler: her obsession with proving that Spider-Mane is a human.]]
106* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Happens a few times:
107** In Chapter 4, when Peter [[spoiler: knocks out a dragon with one kick.]]
108** His fight against [[spoiler: King Sombra]] in Chapter 30.
109** Also, defeating [[spoiler: the two ruling princesses of Equestria]] causes this reaction on the ponies.
110%% * DisneyDeath: [[spoiler: Peter.]]
111* TheDragon: [[spoiler: Sunset Shimmer]] seems to be this to [[spoiler: Norman Osborn.]]
112* TheDreaded: [[spoiler: Morlun, and [[HeroKiller rightfully so]].]]
113* DreamingOfThingsToCome: [[spoiler: Twilight's premonitions of the upcoming battle with Osborn.]]
114* EmbarrassingNickname: Peter likes to call Rainbow after a certain candy...
115** While Pinkie likes to call him Peter Pony Parker.
116* EternalLove: [[spoiler: Due to Luna's spell which resuscitates Peter, he will now be immortal and have this with Twilight.]]
117* EurekaMoment: [[spoiler: When Lyra deduces that Peter Parker and Spider Mane are one in the same.]]
118* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[spoiler: Discord]] seemed to be quite disturbed after hearing that [[spoiler: the Green Goblin]] wouldn't think twice about blowing up innocent bystanders.
119--> [[spoiler: '''Discord:''' I enjoy the fun type of chaos. That's just... Demented.]]
120** This is actually Discord's stance with the Sinister Six (with the exception of the Dazzlings, [[LastOfHisKind who have suffered the most because of Celestia]])and only tolerates the others because they're necessary tools.
121* EvilMakesYouMonstrous: [[spoiler: Norman Osborn,]] after absorbing [[spoiler: Discord's chaotic]] powers, achieves a form similar to the [[spoiler: Ultimate Green Goblin.]]
122** [[spoiler: Blueblood]] once he absorbs the [[spoiler: Venom symbiote]].
123%% * ExhaustedEyeBags
124* {{Facepalm}}: Twilight's occasional reaction towards Peter's comments.
125* FailureToSaveMurder: [[spoiler: Averted: Osborn reveals that Gwen was already dead by his own hand before Peter got involved. [[BerserkButton Probably not the wisest move on his part.]]]]
126* {{Fainting}}: During Chapter 38, after [[spoiler: watching the memory where Osborn gets impaled by his own glider,]] Fluttershy makes use of this trope.
127** Also, a more comical example turns up in Chapter 46, when Peter gets a large amount of money from [[spoiler: [[ComicBook/IronMan Tony Stark.]]]]
128* FantasticArousal: Pegasus ponies and the wingboner effect. [[spoiler: Alicorns get it too.]]
129* FightingFromTheInside: [[spoiler: Luna, trying to fight off the Symbiote's influence.]]
130* FightingYourFriend: Occasionally, Peter will spar with Rainbow Dash. There's also the time he has a duel with [[spoiler: Princess Celestia and Luna.]]
131* FireForgedFriends: Peter and Shining Armor become this after their battle against [[spoiler: Sombra.]]
132* FirstGirlWins: Twilight is the first pony that Peter meets upon his arrival to Equestria. You can guess how things go from there...
133%%* FishOutOfWater
134%%* AFriendInNeed
135%%* FriendToAllChildren
136* FromNobodyToNightmare: Blueblood after he [[spoiler: receives the Venom symbiote from Discord.]]
137* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: [[spoiler: Morlun]], who doubles as an UnexpectedCharacter who has little bearing on the plot besides [[spoiler: reawakening [[SuperPoweredEvilSide Nightmare Moon]].]]
138* GenocideBackfire: [[spoiler: Celestia used a spell to prevent the Sirens from feeding, leaving them to starve to death. As Sirens, the Dazzlings are understandably 'not' okay with this, but Adagio takes it further than Sonata or Aria by actively fighting Celestia.]]
139** [[spoiler: Peter prevents this from happening with the changelings after returning from the future.]]
140* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Twilight's condition when she is conjuring up a spell to stop [[spoiler: a brainwashed Hulk.]]
141* AGodAmI: [[spoiler: Norman Osborn,]] after his transformation.

143* GreenEyedMonster: [[spoiler: Blueblood]] is quite jealous of the attention Peter receives from mares, namely the Mane 6.
144* GroinAttack: In Chapter 59 of Part I, and delivered by Peter, of all people to the Green Goblin.
145** Called back during Part IV by Peter (once again) to Carnage.
146* GuiltComplex: Peter, and, as always, taking it to ludicrous levels.
147* HannibalLecture: [[spoiler: Sombra]] delivers one to Peter while trying to brainwash him.
148* HappilyMarried: Peter and Twilight. Despite the occasional drama surrounding them, these two remain intact and have three children together over the course of twenty-five years.
149* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: [[spoiler: Cadance]] is one, apparently.
150* HarmlessVillain: Peter doesn't see [[spoiler: Discord]] as actually evil, but more as an annoying jerk, especially when comparing [[spoiler: him]] to some members of his RoguesGallery.
151* HeartbrokenBadass
152* HeelFaceTurn: Trixie goes from a petty thief with a grudge to Peter's best friend.
153%% ** Sonata Dusk in "The Fall of Spider-Mane".
154%% ** Eris
155%% ** Queen Umbra
156* HeelRealization: [[spoiler: J. Jonah Jameson has an extended one during the four year period after Spider-Man's "death," taken to the next level when Osborn's broadcasting of the final battle reveals Spider-Man's identity -- a kid who suffered Jameson's abuse his whole career, even accepting a pittance of a salary for defaming his own alter-ego, yet kept fighting the good fight.]]
157%% * HeldGaze
158* HeroicBSOD: Twilight is reduced to tears when she read the prophecy that says Peter would die.
159** Princess Luna, upon realizing that [[spoiler: she had killed Peter under the influence of the Symbiote.]]
160* HeroicSelfDeprecation: While this is nothing new for Peter, sometimes during the story, he seems to take it even further than in the comics.
161%% * HeroicWillpower: It should be obvious by now.
162%% * HoldingHands
163* HiddenHeartOfGold: [[spoiler: Trixie]] believes that no one will accept her for who she really is, and thus decides to put on a mask.
164* HijackedByGanon: Discord was vaguely set up as the BigBad, only for [[ComicBook/NormanOsborn Norman Osborn]] to lock him up, steal his powers and absorb them, making him the main antagonist for the remainder of the story. [[spoiler: Discord however pulls a reverse by showing he meant to do that]].
165* HowDareYouDieOnMe: [[spoiler: Peter, who finally succumbs to the prophecy of his death in Chapter 54.]]
166* HowDoIShotWeb: Peter, while trying to learn unicorn magic. He even quotes it.
167%% * HumanityEnsues: Starting from Chapter 43.
168%% * HumbleHero
169* ImHavingSoulPains: From the battle in [[spoiler: the Helicarrier,]] to the battle with [[spoiler: Sunset Shimmer,]] the ponies who have developed a close relationship with Peter, start feeling pain whenever he's close to die.
170%% * INeedAFreakingDrink: Shining Armor in Chapter 42.
171* IWantGrandkids: Used as a joke by [[spoiler: Twilight's mom, Velvet.]]
172* IfICantHaveYou: [[spoiler: Luna]] in Chapter 53. It's mostly due to [[spoiler: the Symbiote]] fueling her jealousy, though.
173%% * IfYouEverDoAnythingToHurtHer: [[spoiler: Shining Armor]] to Peter.
174* IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim: Twilight tells this to [[spoiler: Peter, when he's about to kill Norman Osborn.]]
175* ImplausibleFencingPowers: Apparently, [[spoiler: Celestia]] has a sword of [[spoiler: her]] own, and is ridiculously proficient with it.
176** To be fair, [[spoiler: she]] uses magic to wield it and fight with it.
177* InconvenientSummons: Spidey is brought to Equestria via one of this.
178* InsecureLoveInterest: Peter, especially after [[spoiler: Twilight becomes an alicorn princess.]] Naturally, she frequently has to reassure / snap him out of it.
179* InterspeciesRomance: Played with, as Spidey becomes a pony. Understandably, he still freaks out over it, [[spoiler: especially after he hooks up with Twilight.]]
180* Irony: Peter starts out hated by much of humanity, [[spoiler: but becomes beloved by Equestria. By the end of the story, his battle with Green Goblin has made him a hero on Earth... But it revealed his true origins to Equestria, much of which now fear and distrust him.]]
181* InsanityImmunity: Deadpool's rat's nest of a mind prevents him from being mind controlled.
182* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: [[spoiler: Trixie,]] as shown when she starts to open up to others.

185* [[EvilCannotComprehendGood Jerkass Cannot Comprehend Altruism]]: [[spoiler: J. Jonah Jameson]] until the below mentioned HeelRealization.
186* JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind: {{Subverted|Trope}}. They don't actually get inside of his head, but rather, they just [[spoiler: take a look at his memories.]]
187%% * JustInTime
188* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: For those who felt that [[spoiler: Babs Seed]] got off scot-free, there's Chapter 48.
189* KillItWithFire: How [[spoiler: Twilight]] deals with [[spoiler: Venom's Symbiote.]]
190* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: Doctor Octopus,]] as stated in Chapter 45.
191** [[spoiler: As of Chapter 51, you can add King Sombra to that list.]]
192** [[spoiler: Future Dinky, Applejack, Trixie, and Chrysalis inDays of Friendship Past.]]

196* LastOfHisKind: The [[spoiler: Sirens, as it turns out. Celestia killed the others over a thousand years ago.]]
197* LegacyCharacter: Blueblood becomes one when he bonds to the Venom symbiote.
198** Trixie becomes one when she takes up the mantle of The Great and Powerful Mysterio. Electro, who knew the original, is not amused or impressed.
199** Laura Kinney becomes the All-New Wolverine as homage to Logan.
200* LeotardOfPower: Part of Twilight's costume [[spoiler: after her trip to Earth with Peter and Spike.]]
201* LeParkour: Since the buildings in Ponyville tend to be only two stories high, this is Spider-Mane's main form to move around.
202* LetsGetDangerous: While Equestria citizens admire Spider-Mane, they won't become aware of his full power until his seemingly hopeless [[spoiler: duel with the Princesses of the moon and the sun.]] [[SarcasmMode Hopeless, indeed.]]
203%%** Peter, again, at the end of Chapter 29.
204* LighterAndSofter: Most definitely, when compared with the comics.
205** Also, the SugarBowl land of Equestria is a very nice change of setting, according to Peter. This comes as no surprise, considering how his [[Franchise/MarvelUniverse home]] [[CrapsackWorld world]] tends to be.
206* LightheartedRematch: In Chapter 41, between Peter and [[spoiler: Spitfire.]]
207%% * LoveConfession
208%% * MagicIsMental
209* MagicalLand: Equestria, and everything that goes with it.
210%% * MakeOutPoint: Chapter 34.
211* ManaDrain: [[spoiler: Who else but Tirek?]]
212* MentalPictureProjector: Used by the ponies [[spoiler: to look into Spidey's memories.]]
213* [[CluelessChickMagnet Mindless Mare Magnet]]: Just like in the comics, Peter gets (almost) ALL the mares.
214** To elaborate, he has his main relationship with Twilight, but every single one of the Mane 6 (except Pinkie Pie) are attracted to him, and Sweetie Belle and [[spoiler: Scootaloo]] even have precocious crushes on him. And that's just from the main cast. Princess Luna finds a lot of common ground with him, Trixie treasures his friendship as her first friend, Derpy fangirls over him and even [[spoiler: Spitfire]] likes him. The author has downplayed this with recent edits, however.
215* ModestRoyalty: Princess Twilight and [[spoiler: Prince Peter.]]
216* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Princess Luna. See HeroicBSOD, above.
217* NeverMyFault: Discord has this in spades, though amusingly most of the things that go wrong with his plan he had no hand in or knowledge of.
218** Inverted with Peter. His friends frequently prevent him from taking on guilt for anything.
219* NoKillLikeOverkill: Chapter 54 gives us [[spoiler: Venom-Luna delivering one to Wolverine. [[HealingFactor This being Logan we're talking about,]] it doesn't stick.]]
220* NoSell: [[spoiler: Deadpool's rat's nest of a brain prevents him from being mind controlled by Osborn, although he's still susceptible to more monetary forms of manipulation.]]
221* NotAMorningPerson: Peter, much to Twilight's annoyance.
222* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler: King Sombra.]]
223* NotSoStoic: [[spoiler: Trixie,]] and much to her embarrassment, most of the time.
224** [[spoiler: Luna]] is feeling the effects of this, as well.
225* NotWhatItLooksLike: In Chapter 12 when Rarity and Applejack find Peter [[spoiler: pinned to the ground in the royal garden, and hugged tightly by Fluttershy.]] Turns out that [[spoiler: she]] was only frightened by [[spoiler: Princess Luna's]] appearance.
226** Peter and Trixie in Part IV. Trixie transforms into a pony suddenly after they came to Earth. Peter finds her naked, of course, and being a good-hearted Samaritan, decided to help her up, seeing that she can't even stand upright. So naturally, everyone finds the two in an embarrassing position.
227* AnOddPlaceToSleep: Twilight mentions that she once found Peter sleeping on the ceiling of her house...
228** ...And that Pinkie Pie had managed to duct tape herself to the ceiling, next to him.
229* OfficialCouple: Spider-Mane and Twilight.
230* OneHeadTaller: [[spoiler: Peter and Twilight while on human form.]]
231* OneHitKill: During his [[spoiler: royal duel with Luna,]] Peter, accidentally delivers one to [[spoiler: her]] forehead [[spoiler: (it only knocks her out, though).]]
232* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: [[spoiler: Norman Osborn.]]
233* OpenSaysMe: Done twice by Peter, and both times they were done in order to reach [[spoiler: King Sombra.]]
234** Extra points for the doors being made of stone.
235* OvershadowedByAwesome: Blueblood feels that he is this in comparison to Peter and, frankly, he's right.
236** Actually, just about everyone outside of Luna, Twilight and Trixie is this to Peter.
237* PairTheSmartOnes: Peter and Twilight. The nerd and the dork, the chemist and the bookworm, etc.
238* PetTheDog: [[spoiler: Discord comforts Adagio after the two discover that Aria committed suicide.]]
239* PowerAtAPrice: Blueblood receives the [[spoiler: Venom symbiote from Discord in exchange for his horn and, therefore, his ability to do magic. Considering how weak Blueblood was before, it was more than a fair trade.]]
240* PrecociousCrush: [[spoiler: Sweetie Bell]] develops one towards Peter.
241** She still has it in the [[spoiler: alternate future, culminating in her and Peter having sex.]]
242* ProphecyTwist: [[spoiler: The prophecy states that Peter will die at the hands of a closely trusted ally. The prophecy says nothing about that ally being consciously in control of her own actions, nor does it state that the ally can't use magic to bring him back to life.]]
243* PsychoForHire: Deadpool, as well as [[spoiler: his Rule63 counterpart.]]
244* PsychosomaticSuperpowerOutage: Peter starts losing his powers after getting to Equestria, due [[spoiler: to him not having a Cutie Mark.]]
245* PunchedAcrossTheRoom: Since Peter is much physically stronger than most in the story, this happens frequently.
246* RageAgainstTheMentor: Sunset Shimmer's memories of her trial in Chapter 53, and how she lashed out at Celestia. She appears to be remorseful, however.
247* RagsToRoyalty: [[spoiler: When Peter is made into a knight, he also receives the title of prince.]]
248* RapidFireFisticuffs: Used by Spidey to break [[spoiler: Celestia's glaive]] during their fight.
249%% * RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler: Sombra.]]
250%% ** [[spoiler: Adagio]]
251%% ** [[spoiler: In a way, Celestia (considering the events of Part IV). It's unknown if the Main/ReCut will keep this]]
252* RejectedApology: Celestia tries to do right and extend an olive branch to [[spoiler: the Dazzlings, but considering the reason that she is apologizing is for committing genocide against their race, they do not accept it.]]

256* SecondLove: Twilight, especially since WordOfGod states that she serves as the Mary-Jane of this story (except that Twilight is more capable of defending herself). Funnily enough, Applejack, who has had the least ShipTease with Spidey (aside from Pinkie Pie), reminds him of Gwen.

260%% * ShootTheTelevision: Twilight in Chapter 49.
261* ShoutOut: Peter does this quite a few times, much to the confusion (and in Twilight's case, annoyance) of Equestria's denizens, since they can't get any of the references. True to his usual style, he continues LONG after Twilight voices her displeasure... Or because of it.
262** Chapter 42, when Peter [[spoiler: tries to think of a superhero name for Twilight, he suggests... Equestria Girl.]]
263** Chapter 43 ends with [[spoiler: the intro Marvel Ultimate Alliance]] without Spider-Man.

270** As of Chapter 34, [[spoiler: Twilight joins in, even lampshading that she understands how Fluttershy feels.]]

Adagio and Starlight have gone AWOL.]]

280* TookALevelInBadass: In Chapter 43, Spike [[spoiler: gets turned into an older, taller, and stronger version of himself, but while still retaining his child persona.]]
281* TranquilFury: Read Roaring Rampage of Revenge, above.
282* TrappedInAnotherWorld: [[spoiler: It seems that Spider-Man's summoning was a one-way trip only.]]
283* {{Tsundere}}: [[spoiler: Trixie]] is quite fond of this.
284** Also, [[spoiler: Princess Luna]] and [[spoiler: Rainbow Dash]] to a lesser extent.
285* UnknownRival: Blueblood to Peter, [[spoiler: who can't even bother to remember him, despite meeting multiple times and being relatives for nearly a decade.]]
286* UnstoppableRage: [[spoiler: Peter in Chapter 59, after the Goblin shows him the memory of when Gwen was killed.]]
287* WeakButSkilled: The cast's assessment of Spidey when he's going against Spitfire. Spitfire is naturally faster, but Peter has his Spider Sense and the acrobatic agility to go full speed at all times while she has to slow down. At all OTHER times though, this does not take.
288* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler: Discord paints himself as being this, trying to instill chaos against Celestia and Luna's crusade of order.]]
289* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: At first, Twilight seems to be unable to understand her feelings for Peter, due to her [[NoSocialSkills social awkwardness.]]

295** [[spoiler: Exploited by Eris later on, so that Peter, Twilight and the others can get in three months of training while only a week passes in Equestria, though they travel to an Earth much like our own rather than Peter's since Discord would look there for them.]]
296* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: The ponies often remind Peter of this, when he's in one of his HeroicSelfDeprecation moments.
