* CompleteMonster: From ''The Amazing Spider-Girl'' (2006-2009):
** ComicBook/NormanOsborn himself, [[ComicBook/TheNightGwenStacyDied murderer of Gwen Stacy]] and with all his evil deeds from the original continuity before his death, whose spirit lays dormant within Peter, is revealed to have cloned May Parker and raised either the original May or the clone as a weapon. Returning in Peter's body, he intends to snuff out Peter's heroic spirit and gain his revenge by murdering the Parkers. Gleefully attempting to kill May and all her friends, Norman takes Mary Jane and her [[WouldHurtAChild baby son Benjy]] to the spot where [[Characters/MarvelComicsGwenStacy Gwen Stacy]] died, intending to hurl them to their deaths to traumatize Peter even more. Styling himself the Goblin God and willing to murder anyone in his path, and with the same legacy of death and destruction behind him, Norman shows against why he is Peter's most despicable nemesis, who will not spare even his own grandson should he stand in Norman's way.
** Issues 9-12: The [[Characters/MarvelComicsCarnage Carnage]] symbiote, after escaping ComicBook/{{SHIELD}} custody, proves to be as [[AxCrazy vicious as ever]]. It forcibly bonds with May Parker's schoolmate Moose and tries to go on several murder sprees, only stopped by Moose's interference. Carnage kidnaps Peter Parker's [[WouldHurtAChild infant son Ben]] and tortures Peter. When Spider-Girl tries to rescue Ben, Carnage attacks a hospital, saying Spider-Girl [[SadisticChoice has to choose]] between saving the staff or Ben, and throws Ben out of a window. Spider-Girl saves Ben and the staff, but Carnage reveals that he infected Ben with a symbiote, turning Ben into a copy of himself, and orders him to kill Spider-Girl. Carnage offers to cure Moose's father of cancer if he allows Carnage to permanently bond with him, but secretly plans to infect the dad with a symbiote too. When Carnage orders Ben to kill Peter, Spider-Girl has to use a sonic weapon to get the symbiote off of Ben, costing him his hearing.
* CrackPairing: Some fans wanted Felicity to hook up with [[AscendedFanboy Gerry]] and/or [[AloofBigBrother Darkdevil]]. Despite never meeting them. [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools Then again]], maybe that's why.
** [[HoYay Darkdevil/Doc Magus]] is also popular due to their team-up during the Venom arc, where Magus [[SecretKeeper almost figured out Reilly's secret]] in between their [[SnarkToSnarkCombat snarking]]. The BridalCarry at the end helps.
* EnsembleDarkhorse
** Maurice "Moose" Mansfield, once CharacterDevelopment kicks in and his crush on Courtney helps him turn into a LovableJock instead of a JerkJock.
** April has also been VindicatedByHistory amongst newer fans now that her HeelFaceTurn has completed. A common FandomSpecificPlot is [[spoiler: undoing her [[RedemptionEqualsDeath death in Spider-Girl: The End]]]].
** Many fans also wish [[InvisibleIntrovert Meagyn Brady]] would join May's friend group.
* FanMyopia: The final cancellation of Mayday's run in 2010 caused a case of this. At the time, fans were convinced that this was Marvel's final act of trying to erase away Peter and Mary Jane's marriage. And resent over ''ComicBook/AnyaCorazon'' taking over the mantle. This ignored the fact that Mayday's title historically sold close to the cancellation line and that her comic was relaunched multiple times [[note]]''Amazing Spider-Girl'' in 2006, ''Amazing Spider-Man Family'' in 2008, and ''Spectacular Spider-Girl'' in 2009[[/note]], all to little success.
* FandomRivalry: As explained above, Mayday Parker fans developed this with fans of ''[[Characters/MarvelComicsSpiders Anya Corazon]]'' due to Anya being given the mantle of Spider-Girl in the main continuity not long after Mayday's book got permanently canceled. There was a [[FanMyopia misconception]] the Anya "stole" the title from Mayday and that, along with the One More Day retcon of the marriage between Peter and Mary Jane were the contributing factors to Mayday being unfairly disenfranchised. Mayday fans ultimately won, with Marvel finally reverting Anya back to her 'Arana' codename, and Mayday went back to her original codename.
%%* FanPreferredCouple: May and Wes. [[spoiler:May/Normie]] before the AbandonShipping.
* FirstInstallmentWins: While there have been many takes on Peter and MJ's kids in the years since Spider-Girl's release, Mayday, the first interpretation of Peter and MJ's kid, remains the most well known and popular amongst fans, largely thanks to being the most fleshed out of the bunch.
* HarsherInHindsight:
** Funny Face's friendship with his stick-puppet Bucky, who he treats as a real person-slash-child. Made painfully unfunny when Funny Face has a FreakOut over May webbing Bunky, claiming she's hurting, suffocating and scaring him because [[spoiler:[[IHaveThisFriend "Bunky" is claustrophobic]], due to [[AbusiveParents "his" mother locking him up in a closet]] [[NightmareFuel for days at a time]].]]
** Creator/JoeQuesada apparently loves the series and considers it the natural progression of Spider-Man and the Marvel Universe. This coming from the same guy who deliberately [[ComicBook/OneMoreDay undid Peter and MJ's marriage]], whilst erasing her from existence in a DealWithTheDevil. Also, the same guy allegedly responsible for cancelling the series for good...
%%* HoYay:
%%** Felicity Hardy really, really, REALLY wants to be May's "partner".
%%** Her mom Felicia has none of the ambiguity.
%%** [[OlderHeroVsYoungerVillain Lady Octopus]] and [[MadScientist Dr. Jade]] are an older and [[MinionShipping evil]] example.
%%** Spider-Man II is a ''big'' fan of Spider-Man.
* JerkassWoobie: Okay, yes, Funny Face's a crazy MonsterClown. But it's hard not to feel bad for him when [[spoiler:his brother gets gunned down in a gang war]].
%%** April Parker.
%%* LauncherOfAThousandShips: Felicity.
* MoralEventHorizon:
** Probably April's [[spoiler:murder of Tombstone]]. To be fair, she did think [[spoiler:he killed her "sister"]].
*** April crossed the line when she decided not to inform May's family and friends that she was (allegedly) dead and once again steal her identity.
** Brad bullying Nancy in order to get her to quit school. To the point of bringing an angry mob to her house. [[spoiler:[[TearJerker Worst of all, it worked]].]]
* PeripheryDemographic:
** Launched as part of an [[ComicBook/MarvelComics2 a verse]] [[LighterAndSofter for kids]], the series is also popular with older ComicBook/SpiderMan fans, especially after ''ComicBook/OneMoreDay''. The {{Mythology Gag}}s don't hurt either.
** Plus female readers who enjoy a [[{{Chickification}} competent]], [[MostCommonSuperpower not so "super" heroine]].
%%* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap:
%%** Kaine. YMMV depending on how you feel about [[NinetiesAntiHero Nineties Anti Heroes]].
%%** Later on for Anya, for the fans who saw 616!Anya as something of rival.
%%* TheScrappy:
%%** Gene Thompson.
%%** [[spoiler:April Parker]] appears to be fighting him for the number one Scrappy spot.
%%** And now they might be turning into [[spoiler:a Scrappy Couple]], despite [[MySisterIsOffLimits May's efforts to stop it]].
%%** Brad.
* VillainDecay: Mr. Abnormal, Earthshaker and Killerwatt went from being credible bad guys to a collection of inept D-list government agents when they reappear several years later. YMMV on whether Earthshaker was ever credible to begin with though.
* TheWoobie:
** "Invisible Girl" Meagyn Brady, who becomes an invisible woman because no-one notices her, not even her widowed mother.
** May routinely has periods where everything in her life falls apart. Luckily, she always manages to (mostly) put it back together.
** Poor Felicity. Always the convenient computer nerd acquaintance, never the sidekick.
** IronWoobie: [[spoiler:Darkdevil]], once you find out his backstory is a ''long'' TraumaCongaLine of [[spoiler:AbusiveParents, CloneDegeneration and DemonicPossession]].
** April Parker. The Parkers (and May's friends) don't like her because she's an [[AnnoyingYoungerSibling annoying clone]] with [[DarkActionGirl violent tendencies]]… but she [[RaisedByWolves doesn't know any better yet]]. The moment she told Peter she liked him better [[PeoplePuppets as Norman]] was heartbreaking.
** Moose, especially after the Carnage arc.
** The Venom symbiote. Its host Eddie Brock dies in prison, staying alone in a tube for around 10 years while being mocked by a guard with no one to comfort it until Normie Osborn has pity of it, it's later revealed by Mayday that the reason why the Venom symbiote attacked people is because it knew nothing but pain and anger because of the treatment of its previous Host, Peter Parker and Eddie Brock, and does a final sacrifice to protect Mayday from the Hobgoblin, causing its death.
