Characters / Spidey and His Amazing Friends

The Spidey Crew

Team Spidey in general

• Age Lift: The comic versions of the trio each usually gain their powers in their teen years, but they're all young children in this series.
• Animal-Themed Superbeing: As seen in the intro, combined with being a Spider-Man adaptation, the Spiders have the abilities and tools themed after spiders.
• Badass Adorable: They're the same spider heroes you know and love, but as cute kiddos.
• Building Swing: One of the core abilities shared between the Spider Team, swinging around New York in the intro.
• Color-Coded Characters: The colorful art style enforces the idea of the Spiders have quickly identifiable colors beyond their costumes:
  • Spidey: Red, Blue, and White.
  • Spin: Red and Black.
  • Ghost-Spider: Pink and White.
• Identically Powered Team: All of the team members are spider-theme heroes with spider-powers such as wall crawling, spider agility and spider proportionate strength.
• Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: The trio can use their webs to shield themselves or others.
• Token Trio: Peter is a white boy, Miles is a biracial boy, and Gwen is the lone girl of the trio.

Spidey (Peter Parker)

Voiced by: Benjamin Valic (seasons 1–2), Alkaio Thiele (season 3–present)

• Big Eater: In "Too Much Fun," he ate three veggie corn dogs before going on an amusement park ride. Which made him queasy later when Electro supercharged the ride.
• Brainy Brunette: Known to be smart and inventive.
• Breaking Old Trends: Unlike the previous versions of him on previous Spider-Man animated series, this version of Spidey is recognized as a superhero, since there is no J. Jonah Jameson to frame him in a bad light so far.
• Fanboy: Of both Black Panther and Iron Man.
• Fatal Flaw: Like Hulk, his anger is his flaw (though it's more flusterment than rage). As in "Rhinoctopus," Peter has a hard time fixing his web shooter that he lost it and got more frustrated until Gwen and Miles advised him to take deep breaths.
• Gadgeteer Genius: Peter's specialty, as seen in the series intro. He has a dedicated workbench at the WEB-Quarters, and built the WEB-STER computer (according to the titular short).
• Hidden Depths: Along with inventing and creating new experiments, he plays with a yo-yo that helps him think.
• In-Series Nickname: In the WEB-STER short, Peter officially refers to himself as Spidey, to avoid causing confusion on whether he or Miles is "Spider-Man".
• Kindhearted Cat Lover: Peter has a pet cat named Bootsie and had a blue toy cat named Bloopy when he was very young, until he gave it to Black Cat.
• Only Known by Their Nickname: Throughout the "Meet Spidey" shorts, friends and foes alike refer to Peter as "Spidey" primarily. However, among his team, he's occasionally known as "Spider-Man", as established in the WEB-STER short.
• Wise Beyond Their Years: This version of him is a kid that is mature as he uses his powers responsibly as a hero.
• With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility: Well, this is Spidey's motto in most media. He quotes this phrase in the episode Rocket Rhino! showing that he knows how important it is to be responsible with things and superpowers.

Spin (Miles Morales)

Voiced by: Jakari Fraser

• Adaptation Name Change: Once again, Miles is given a distinct superhero name from Peter: Spin. According to the WEB-STER short, it's a In-Universe alternate name when both him and Peter try registering themselves as Spider-Man, causing some confusion for the computer.
• Dark Is Not Evil: Despite his costume being mainly black, he is still a superhero.
• Invisibility: Miles' prided superpower, according to the tie-in book Super Hero Hiccups.
• Meaningful Name: His alias, "Spin", is based on spiders spinning webs. In the WEB-STER short, he derives the name from his latest trick, the Spider-Spin.
• Red Is Heroic: In addition to his red and black costume, his webbing is red.
• Visual Pun: As the intro roll calls the abilities of the Spiders, it quickly cuts to Miles literally spinning on cue as an aerial trick.

Ghost-Spider (Gwen Stacy)

Voiced by: Lily Sanfelippo (seasons 1–2), Audrey Bennett (season 3–present)

• Action Girl: Always up for action and is never tired of chasing down villains.
• Flight: Her wings on her Ghost-Spider costume gives her that ability.
• Girls Love Stuffed Animals: She has a stuffed turtle named Sparkles.
• Great Detective: Her niche in Team Spidey. Makes sense considering what her mother does for a living.
• Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Whenever she's seen out of costume, she sports a mostly golden flock of hair. Fittingly, she's happy to help others like solving mysteries, as seen in "Spidey Mystery".
• Not Quite Flight: Gwen's spider suit has web wings to glide around. In the intro, this is used as a Body Wipe.
• Pink Means Feminine: As the lone Spider-Woman in the trio, Gwen is seen with her blond hair tipped with pink, along with pink webbing and equipment in the intro and supplement material.
• Token Flyer: She can fly, with or without her ghost-copter.

WEB-Ster

Voiced by: Nicolas Roye

• Small Role, Big Impact: Web-ster usually only appears to inform Team Spidey of trouble in the neighbourhood, leading to the events of the rest of the episode. In the eponymous short, his inability to accept both Peter and Miles using the name Spider-Man due to confusion led to Peter going by the name Spidey, and Miles going by the name Spin for the whole of the series.

TRACE-E, TWIST-E & TWIRL-E

Voiced by: Dee Bradley Baker (TRACE-E and TWIST-E) and Nora Wyman (TWIRL-E)

• Crossdressing Voices: Downplayed, as TRACE-E is "voiced" by Dee Bradley Baker while having a female designation.
• Cute Machines: As appropriate for the show's audience, three adorable little spider-bots that help the Spiders. Just look at them! Link #1◊ Link #2
• Damsel in Distress: TRACE-E gets captured by Rhino, Green Goblin and Doc Ock in Season 1 episodes Lost and Found, Trick or TRACE-E, and A Very Spidey Christmas respectively. Although, Green Goblin is the only one to be completely aware of having her in his possession for the whole period while the others only find out at the last minute, TRACE-E needed to be rescued by Team Spidey or just Spidey in those episodes.
• Damsel out of Distress: In the Season 2 episode Bad Bot, TRACE-E saves herself from Doc Ock and proceeds to save Team Spidey.
• Fem Bot: Despite being a robot making her technically genderless, TRACE-E is referred to as a female, as the characters address her like how people will address females with words 'she' and 'her'.
• Fuzzball Spider: All three spider-bots are built to have their eight legs attached to their oblate spheroid heads.
• Team Pet: Before TWIST-E and TWIRL-E were created, TRACE-E was the only spider-bot, and considering that she is both a pet and a helper, she counts as a pet for the team.

Villains

Doc Ock

Voiced by: Kelly Ohanian

• Animal-Themed Superbeing: As her name and mechanical tentacles suggest, Doc Ock is themed after octopi.
• Bad People Abuse Animals: In Doc Ock's Super Octopus, she abducts baby octopus Squishy and turns her into a giant and forces her to obey orders in exchange for food. In The Ant Thief, she mind-controlled ants to steal diamonds for her.
• Bad Boss: She acts bossy towards her favorite Octobot CAL, unlike how Spidey kindly treats TRACE-E.
• Brains and Brawn: She is shown to be smarter than Green Goblin and Rhino with the plans she come up with.
• Delinquent Hair: Villainous as ever, this Doc Ock sports a Skrillex haircut, which is a half-shaved hairstyle with a drooping lock of hair.
• Evil Counterpart: She is basically what Peter/Spidey will be like without his noble, responsible and caring personality.
• Evil Genius: She usually calls herself that.
• Gadgeteer Genius: Much like her mainstream counterpart, Doc Ock builds various equipment and bots to carry out her plans. Notably, she even has a small bot companion similar to Spidey.
• Gender Flip: She's a female version of the original Dr. Octopus.

Green Goblin

Voiced by: J.P. Karliak

• Big Bad: He is the most frequently seen supervillain, and is the first one to be seen interacting with all of the supporting superheroes not long after their debuts.
• Breaking Old Trends: Unlike the previous versions of him from 2012 Ultimate Spider-Man series and 2017 Marvel's Spider-Man, this version of the Goblin just causes trouble as his method of amusing himself.
• Evil Is Petty: He usually causes chaos and havoc to make everyone else miserable as his own amusement. He also claims upsetting Spidey more fun than upsetting anyone else.
• Practically Joker: Besides the classic green and purple color scheme, this incarnation plays up the mischievous side of the character, "Gobby" being annoyed during one of the shorts when Spidey fought him using party favor-styled web fluid, saying he was the "prankster."
• Secondary Color Nemesis: Along with the green color of his skin, he has purple clothing.

The Rhino

Voiced by: Justin Shenkarow

• Animal-Themed Superbeing: His armor represents the theme of a rhino, hence his name.
• Barrier-Busting Blow: Often attempts a Dynamic Entry this way.
• Dumb Muscle: Rhino has massive super strength like Hulk. However, aside from using his powers for his own greed and villainous intentions, Rhino's all brawn and no brains since he isn't very good at making plans.
• Gold Fever: A fair amount of his appearances have him stealing gold in some form.
• Sweet Tooth: He likes to eat ice cream in "Rocket Rhino" and "Freeze! It's Team Spidey!".

Felicia Hardy/Black Cat

Voiced by: Jaiden Klein

• Anti-Hero: Black Cat can be like this after realizing the mistakes she made. In "Black Cat Chaos," when a taxi was heading for a man on a breaking bridge, Black Cat saves him by stopping the taxi with her grappling hook.
• Aesop Amnesia: The heroes or the consequences of her actions tend to teach her a lesson, but their effects only last a while as she returns to being a naughty thief shortly after that.
• Character Catchphrase: Upon being caught or thwarted "Oh kittens!"
• Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Black Cat loves shiny and sparkly things.
• Cat Girl: She looks like one when she has her hoodie on.
• Classy Cat-Burglar: Black Cat is agile, fast, and can pickpocket anything shiny off of anyone.
• Cute Kitten: For a villain, she makes a cute kitty girl.
• The Cutie: She is the adorable kid version of the original Black Cat.
• Evil Wears Black: She wears a black jumpsuit with a cat hoodie, yellow linings, a yellow cat logo on the chest, and white fluff.
• Eyelash Fluttering: She does this to Team Spidey in the short of Meet Spidey and his Amazing Friends, Hi Felicia. It could be possible that she was doing this to Spidey.
• Flirty Voice Ploy: She somewhat sounds like that to Spidey.
• Friendly Enemy: Only after she returns the thing she steals until she goes back to being a naughty villain.
• Girly Girl: She has an obsession with jewelry as she likes to steal them from a jewelry store.
• Girls Love Stuffed Animals: When Spidey gave his old toy, Bloopy, to Black Cat, she started to take a liking to him.
• Graceful Loser: When she gets caught by the heroes, Black Cat will surrender easily and give back what she stole before leaving the scenery or going back to doing something naughty.
• I Know Your True Name: Spidey calls Black Cat by her real name in "Black Cat Chaos" while chasing her to get the stolen bracelet back.
• Innocent Blue Eyes: She has beautiful big blue eyes with long eyelashes and uses them to look innocent to get away.

• Kindhearted Cat Lover: She meets Bootsie and becomes charmed by her adorable purring and cuddling, that she decides to keep her and renames her into Little Helper.
• Lesser of Two Evils: Black Cat is not as evil as the other bad guys, as she occasionally helps the heroes when trouble occurs.
• Naughty Is Good: Once she does something good, she goes right back to being naughty.
• Nice Girl: She only acts like this when she has her hoodie down.
• Sticky Fingers: She tends to steal sparkly things.
• Tamer and Chaster: For OBVIOUS REASONS, this version of Black Cat have none of the Ms. Fanservice or The Tease traits of the original.
• White Hair, Black Heart: She has white hair and a greedy heart for sparkly things.

Electro

Voiced by: Stephanie Lemelin

• Big Bad: Of Season 2. Her actions of stealing all the electricity causing a blackout at night led to Team Spidey using their Glow Tech which appears throughout the season. She also appears more frequently than the other villains that also debuted in the second season.
• Gender Flip: Like Doc Ock, she’s female in this adaptation.
• Lightning Can Do Anything: besides flight and energy projection, she uses it generate an electric guitar in one episode.
• Psycho Electro: She’s an electricity themed villain.
• Weaksauce Weakness: Like the original Electro, her weakness is water, which decreases her power until it's "lights out" for Electro.

Sandman

Voiced by: Thomas F. Wilson

• Adaptational Jerkass: Played with. While his crimes are pretty tame given the show's preschool demographic, he also lacks some of his more sympathetic qualities, particularly being a father.
• Character Catchphrase: "Ah-poof!"
• Dishing Out Dirt: sand, naturally.
• Elemental Shapeshifter: Turns into a cloud of sand to escape on more than one occasion.

Zola

Voiced by: Trevor Devall

• Adaptational Comic Relief: Stealing a pizza and a girl’s doll for the sake of stealing as well as bumping his robot body into a traffic light are definitely not what you expect his more serious and evil comics counterpart to be taking part in.
• No Swastikas: Being a preschool show, he is quite understandably not a Nazi Mad Scientist here.

Lizard

Voiced by: Bumper Robinson

Trapster

Voiced by: Deva Marie Gregory

• Gender Flip: As with both Doc Ock and Electro, Trapster will be a female in this adaptation.

Other Heroes

Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan)

Voiced by: Sandra Saad

• Age Lift: Other Marvel media versions of her are teenagers, while this version of her is a kid about the same age as Team Spidey in this series.
• Badass in Distress: In the episode Washed Away, she nearly falls down into a huge pond of sewer water at the bottom of the sewers, needing Spidey to use his webs to pull her up just in time to prevent that. In Can't Stop Dancing, she is among the superheroes that got hit by Green Goblin's Boogie Blaster and forced to dance out-of-control.
• Breaking Old Trends: This is the first version of her to be a kid instead of a teenager, and the first version of her in a full-length animated series to be voiced by someone other than her usual voice actress Kathreen Khavari.
• Foreshadowing: In the episode Can't Stop Dancing, her hero stand has some symbols that resemble Carol Danvers' Captain Marvel star symbol, possibly foreshadowing that Captain Marvel might appear in a future season.
• Rubber Woman: Her superpowers.

Lockjaw

Voiced by:

The Hulk

Voiced by: Armen Taylor

• Adaptation Distillation: Since his debut, there has been no mention of Bruce Banner or the concept that Hulk isn’t big and green sometimes.
• Adaptational Attractiveness: Since this is a preschool series, Hulk is more youthful-looking here than in any other universe, looking more like a handsome overly dense bodybuilder than a fierce monstrous being. Compared to previous incarnations, Hulk does not have any of the excessive facial wrinkles nor body veins the big green guy usually has. Plus, his signature purple pants are in neat condition and are not torn at all. To put it short, this is among the most handsome-looking Hulks in Marvel history (not counting the Totally Awesome Hulk).
• Adaptational Nice Guy:
  • Given the show's preschool demographic and similar concepts to Marvel Superhero Adventures, this version of Hulk is a whole lot calmer and friendlier. He's a far cry from the "smash and kill everything" Hulk most people are familiar with. He also doesn't speak in third person, and instead acts a whole lot like his real self, Bruce Banner.
  • Although Hulk's rage still present, it's not always unleashed in every episode. And even when he does unleash his rage, it's considerably toned down for the show's preschool demographic. Even the civilian citizens are kind enough to understand about Hulk unleashing his rage just to protect everyone. Played straight in the Season 2 episode "Outsmarted by Art" when Hulk accidentally destroyed much of the art at the community fair whilst using his failed thunder claps against Sandman, though Mr. Kim consoled him saying that he was just trying to protect everyone.
• Badass in Distress: Hulk is the first supporting superhero seen getting affected by the effects of a supervillain's invention.
  • In the Season 1 episode "Superhero Switcharoo", he and Spidey get their powers switched by Doc Ock's Switcharoo Machine.
  • In the Season 2 episode "Li'l Hulk", he gets turned into a baby by Green Goblin's Baby Boomer and needs to be babysat by Team Spidey.
  • Two episodes later in "Can't Stop Dancing", he is the first hero to get hit by Green Goblin's Boogie Blaster and is forced to dance out-of-control.
  • In the Season 3 episode "Ock's Obey Ray", he gets hit by Doc Ock's titular invention and is forced to obey every one of her commands.
• Breaking Old Trends:
  • This is the first version of Hulk in a full-length animated series to not be shown as a fierce monstrous being (since this is a preschool series), and the second version of him in full-length Marvel animated series from 2009-present (the first being the one from the Marvel anime series Marvel Disk Wars: The Avengers) to be voiced by someone other than his usual voice actor Fred Tatasciore.
  • In addition, this is also the first voice role that Armen Taylor (Hulk's voice actor in this series) has done in an overall Western animated series, as all of his previous voice roles were in various video games and anime series.
• Does Not Know His Own Strength: Though he's much better than Rhino in terms of making plans, he can still be a bit clumsy at times when it comes to using his strength, even if he is calm.
• Hulking Out: Averted. Hulk has never been seen transforming or as Bruce Banner.
• Shockwave Clap: Frequently uses this as an alternate to using his fists.
• Super-Strength: As with most adaptations, Hulk is the strongest there is.
• Tame His Anger: The Spidey team and/or any other supporting superhero present often have to teach Hulk how to control his temper.
• Token Adult: While he's more of a Vague Age, Hulk does appear to be an adult. Prior to Iron Man's introduction in Season 2, Hulk was the only adult superhero in the cast. This could most likely be an homage to how Hulk made the most guest appearances compared to any other superhero in the older-skewing Ultimate Spider-Man.

Black Panther

Voiced by: Tru Valentino

• Age Lift: He is younger than the versions of him in other Marvel media in this series. However, judging by his voice, he still seems to be slightly older (though not to the extent of a teenager) when compared to Team Spidey.
• Young and in Charge: This version of Black Panther is notably younger than his usual adult versions in other media, but is still the King of Wakanda.

Iron Man (Tony Stark)

Voiced by: John Stamos

• Beehive Barrier: A power bubble for catching villains
• Cool Shades: Where he stores his suit when he’s not using it. Unfortunately storing the suit in such a convenient manner means it’s not especially difficult to steal it.
• Distressed Dude: Iron Man is the first supporting superhero seen getting captured by a supervillain, as he was captured by both Doc Ock and CAL in the Season 2 episode "Spideys In Space!".
• Flight: One of the abilities his suit gives him.
• Power Armor: Fitted with a bevy of cool gadgets and powers.
• Token Adult: While most of the other superheroes are kids and Hulk is a Vague Age, Tony is clearly an adult. He has facial hair, owns an apartment, drives a car, and is noticeably taller than Spidey.

Ant-Man and the Wasp

Voiced by: Sean Giambrone (Ant-Man) and Maya Aoki Tuttle (Wasp)

A pair of size shifting superheroes.

• Age Lift: Other Marvel media versions of them are adults, while this version of them are preteens about the same age as Black Panther in this series.
• Animal-Themed Superbeing
• The Dividual: Syndividual variety. They have different costumes and powers but are never seen apart.
• Flight: Wasp can fly when she shrinks.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: The episode *The Ant Thief* establishes Wasp as the Red Oni and Ant-Man as the Blue Oni.
• Super Wrist-Gadget: How they launch their size-changing disks.
• Sizeshifter

Reptil

Voiced by: Hoku Ramirez

• Age Lift: Other Marvel media versions of him are teenagers, while this version of him is a kid about the same age as both Team Spidey and Ms. Marvel in this series.
• Animal-Themed Superbeing: Dinosaurs
• Gratuitous Spanish
• Voluntary Shapeshifting

The Thing

Voiced by: Andy Milder

White Tiger

Voiced by: Kylie Cantrall

Squirrel Girl

Voiced by: Emma Berman

• Little Bit Beastly: Has squirrel ears and a big bushy tail.

Other

Aunt May

Voiced by: Melanie Minichino

Peter's aunt.

---

• Adaptational Attractiveness: This version of Aunt May is depicted with a youthful-looking appearance. This generally follows the trend of Younger and Hipper takes on the character in modern media, such as Ultimate Spider-Man (2012), Marvel's Spider-Man, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
• Age Lift: The latest example of making the character younger than her comic counterpart. Justified as this show's version of Peter is also younger than he is in the comics.
• Younger and Hipper: Unlike her elderly version in the Spider-Man series, Aunt May is energetic as she is seen rollerskating in "Sandman Won't Share" and enjoys amusement park rides in "Too Much Fun."

Rio Morales

Voiced by: Gabrielle Ruiz

Miles' mother.

Jeff Morales

Voiced by: Eugene Byrd

Miles' father.

Det. Helen Stacy

Voiced by: Kari Wahlgren

Gwen's mother who works as a detective.

---

• Composite Character: Much like her husband, George, this version of Helen is a cop in the NYPD.
• Spared by the Adaptation: While this is a preschool show, this version of Helen is alive and well, unlike her comic counterpart.

Bootsie

Peter's pet tabby cat

• Canon Foreigner: Peter and his Aunt May do not have a cat in the Marvel Comics.
• Cute Kitten: Bootsie is without a doubt very adorable.
