----
* AbusiveParents: Zigzagged. Norman starts off as the neglectful but caring type to Harry Osborn. Then he finds out that his son is the Venom symbiote's host and is more willing to take advantage of that fact. But when Doc Ock goes after both him and his son, Norman shows concern for his son. As the Green Goblin, he not only does he [[spoiler: shock his own son into being Venom again, he leaves Harry to drown when Harry rejects the Venom symbiote. Later, Goblin drops Harry from a great height. But as a human again, he's a more concerned loving father this time. But as the Goblin once again, Harry's on the list of people he plans to hurt just to spite Peter after learning he's Spider-Man.]]
* AdaptationNameChange: Within the show, he's officially dubbed "The Goblin" rather than "The Green Goblin" like in every other depiction. Some characters still call him a green goblin, but most cases seems to be a description rather than his actual title. Promotional materials also tend to refer to him as "The Green Goblin", likely because he is otherwise the same character and the codename is more well-known.
* AdaptationalHeroism: Once he gets past his ChronicVillainy, he actually gets to be a decently standup parent for Harry and engages in some genuine heroism as the Iron Patriot. Even back when he was a villain unless he was the Goblin, he wasn't nearly as much of a {{Jerkass}} as his main 616 counterpart.
* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: While a hulking monster like the Goblin of the ComicBook/UltimateMarvel comics, this version also uses pumpkin bombs and a glider.
* AdmiringTheAbomination: His reaction when [[spoiler:his son]] turns into Venom right in front of him.
* AmnesiacDissonance: [[spoiler:Norman lost all memory of Goblin's last battle with Spider-Man, including knowledge of Peter's secret identity. He's been on the path of a HeelFaceTurn since that point. However, he later regains his memory from when he was Goblin, but thankfully, keeps Peter's identity secret rather than resume animosity]].
* TheAtoner: In "Second Chance Hero" as the Iron Patriot. Unfortunately, it doesn't last due to Doc Ock injecting him with Goblin serum again.
* AntiHeroSubstitute: [[spoiler: Can be seen as one to Iron Man, the same ego, the same problem with villains using their tech, the same atoner mentality post a traumatic momment in their life. On the other hand, Norman was actively a CorruptCorporateExecutive instead of Iron Man's well-meaning arms dealer background, and the nature of the traumatic event, are the differing factors.]]
* BadBoss: Before he and Otto Octavius parted ways, was one to Otto. He may have saved Otto's life after the accident, but he then locked Doc Ock away from the rest of the world, verbally abuses Doc Ock, and tried to kill Doc Ock when possibly compromised.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Uh... Norman? Those symbiote-enhanced Spider-Mercenaries you wanted in Season 1? Otto finally got around to making them... and they're about to kick your ass in Season 2.
* BerserkButton: After being cured the first time, he hates being called Goblin.
* BigBad: His efforts to replicate and weaponize Spider-Man's powers give him the main antagonist role at first, and his repeated appearances and personal attacks on peter's life combined with his more sinister plans allow him to keep it despite the more MonsterOfTheWeek format the show has. [[spoiler: Until he's finally cured and not turn into the Goblin again, replacing him with Doc Ock as the main antagonist.]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: When interacting with Harry and Peter, he actually acts like a pretty nice guy. Behind closed doors, however...
* BlackEyesOfCrazy: Goblin's sclera turn black when [[spoiler:transforming into the [[OneWingedAngel Spider-Goblin]], and he gets crazier than ever.]]
* BroughtDownToNormal: In "Venom Bomb", Spider-Man forces Doctor Octopus to cure Norman. [[spoiler:It doesn't last long though.]]
** [[spoiler: It ''does'' happen again in "Spider-Verse" when Spider-Man get's Electro to zap him back from being the Spider-Goblin. To the point where he no longer remembers being him.]]
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In the first episode, he actually gets angry at the Frightful Four and in turn Doc Ock for attacking the high school where his ''son'' is, showing that, while he is dismissive, he does care. Most later episodes drop this character trait, and [[spoiler:he even attempts to ''manipulate'' Harry when he finds out that his son is the Venom symbiote's host]].
** Zigzagged later on: "The Iron Octopus" and "Second Chance Hero" have him go back to the neglectful but caring father but the episodes between? See Abusive Parents above.
* ChronicVillainy: After being cured at the end of "Venom Bomb", he genuinely tries to atone for his act by being a better father to Harry and being a super-hero as Iron Patriot... only to have Doc Ock kidnap him a few episodes later and turn him back into the Goblin. [[spoiler: He's once again cured at the end of "Spider-Verse", and it's implied the Goblin may be gone for good. He made himself immune to Goblin serum, but that doesn't mean ''someone else'' can't be the Goblin.]]
* CompositeCharacter:
** He is similar in appearance to the Ultimate version's Hulk-like mutation and a part in Spider-Man's origin. On the other hand, he uses the same tech and glider as his mainstream incarnation which he stole from Curt Connors.
** In-Universe, Spidey notes how his [[spoiler: Iron Patriot persona is one of Iron Man and Captain America.]]
*** His [[spoiler:Iron Patriot colors resembles the second Iron Patriot armor of the comics and the MCU design.]]
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: He's Oscorp's CEO, but is interested in creating an army of Spider-Mercinaries. [[spoiler:He's stopped doing that ever since.]]
* CrazyPrepared: He has high-tech weapons hidden in his office in case someone tried to attack him.
* CreateYourOwnVillain: He was working with Octavius when the explosion went off. He saved his life, but forced him away from the public eye, leading to resentment, and eventually him becoming TheStarscream as Doctor Octopus.
* DevilInPlainSight: While he starts out as decently good at hiding his real motivations, he displays more and more signs of insanity and rage as the story goes on. [[spoiler:Lampshaded in "The Reveal": when Spider-Man learns he was the one behind Octavius, Peter has a flashback of several scenes clearly hinting at Osborn's insanity and obsession with Spider-Man, resulting in realizing Peter should have seen it coming.]]
%%* FauxAffablyEvil
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: When the Frightful Four attack his son's school, he is genuinely worried for Harry. On the other hand, he's not adverse to taking advantage of the fact that Harry [[spoiler: was the Venom symbiote's host and that a blood sample may still hold remnants.]]
* EvilFeelsGood: In the season 2 finale, Spider-Man demands to know why Goblin is so full of hate. He doesn't give an answer, but this could be the only reason.
* EvilIsHammy: As the Goblin, big time. Especially in season 2.
* EvilSoundsDeep: The Goblin has a deep, raspy voice.
* GeniusBruiser: The Goblin has all of Osborn's intellect in a Hulk-sized body.
* GenreBlind: He actually didn't see [[spoiler:Octavius's betrayal]] coming, despite how obvious he had it coming.
* GreenEyedMonster: Mentions as the Goblin that he envied the power Spider-Man has.
* HandBlast: A bulky three-fingered gauntlet that delivers [[ShockAndAwe electrical pulses]], which he later replaces as the Goblin.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: In "Second Chance Hero", Osborn tries his hand at being a superhero as the Iron Patriot. Unfortunately, it doesn't last as Doc Ock turns him back into the Goblin in "Return of the Sinister Six".
* HeelFaceTurn: In "Spider-Verse, Part 4", [[spoiler:he's truly back. "HYDRA Attacks" reveals Osvorn decided to never be Goblin again by making an antidote that also vaccinates to prevent future transformations, proving himself immune when Doc Ock tries this again. As of "Iron Vulture" and "Anti-Venom", he now fights as the heroic Iron Patriot]].
* HulkingOut: The Goblin bulks up ''massively''.
* HulkSpeak: Initially, following his Goblin transformation, due to his head being messed up by the mutation. He's quick to develop the ability to speak properly again however, thanks to his brain being enhanced; later episodes show he can already express himself as clearly as before.
* HumiliationConga: In "Revealed", Doc Ock turn against him for the abuse he suffered by giving him the serum that transforms him into the Green Goblin. Ock also insulted Norman's genius by telling him that he never figured out himself that [[CreateYourOwnHero his own company practically created Spider-Man]].
* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler: Osborn gets away scot-free with his schemes at season 1's end.]]
* KickTheDog: His treatment of Otto Octavius; the worst part is, [[ObliviouslyEvil he seems to believe he was doing the right thing]].
** The Goblin's treatment of Harry consists of this. Two major moments in particular are [[spoiler: abandoning his son to drown in "Rise of the Goblin" because Harry rejected the Venom symbiote and telling Harry how proud he is of his son in "Carnage" only to drop Harry to certain doom right after. Also, in the season 2 finale, he threatens to kill Harry to spite Spider-Man.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: Minus the comedy quirks, he is played ''dead serious'' as the Green Goblin.
* LeaderWannabe: Tries to take charge of Spidey's team in "Return of the Sinister Six". [[spoiler:It doesn't go well; When the Sinister Six have the team against the ropes, Osborn, rather then offer words of encouragement or a new strategy, yells at the group to "fight harder!"]]
* ManipulativeBastard: Toward his son, definitely.
* NonActionBigBad: In season 1; he's completely passive, usually leaving the Spider-Man hunting to Doc Ock while he focus on his society. He doesn't even turn into the Goblin until season 1's finale.
** In "The Iron Octopus", he does fire a few shots at Iron Man's armor with a [[{{BFG}} big]] [[MoreDakka gun]] but it doesn't last.
* OneWingedAngel:
** The Goblin formula changes him from a human into a bulky monster with green skin, fangs, and solid yellow eyes.
** Absorbing the DNA from multiple incarnations of Spider-Man turns him into an arachnid-like abomination dubbed Spider-Goblin.
* ParentalNeglect: Unlike most versions, the version doesn't appear to have any AbusiveParent traits, but he's still neglecting Harry because of his work and his obsession with Spider-Man. It gets worse as the story goes on.
* PoweredArmor: Iron Patriot "borrows" some of Tony Stark's designs with Steve Rogers's colors.
* SecretSecretKeeper: [[spoiler: During the finale, he tells Spider-Man remembering learning Peter's true identity. He explains that he kept the secret as a way to atone for all the things he'd done as the Goblin]].
* SlasherSmile: His expression while short-circuiting Iron Man's armor is... [[{{Foreshadowing}} unsettling...]] It's a permanent feature as the Goblin.
%%* SocialDarwinist
* SoProudOfYou: In "Carnage", [[spoiler: Goblin finally tells Harry how his father (Norman) would have been proud of what Harry did, only to [[KickTheDog only to drop Harry to certain doom right after.]] ]]
* TranshumanTreachery: As the Goblin, once he develops a personality again.
* TookALevelInKindness: [[spoiler:''Massively'' so in Season 4. However, it doesn't last because he and Spider-Man have a huge falling out as Spidey promised to take care of his son, but failed by getting Harry injured. He's back to being kind again by the finale.]]
* VillainTakesAnInterest:
** For Spider-Man, as usual. Though amplified here, since he actually wants to get Spider-Man in order to create a whole super-soldier program from his DNA.
** He takes one in [[spoiler: his son when he realizes the Venom symbiote's remnants might still be in Harry's blood sample, and tells Spider-Man that [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness he no longer needs Spider-Man]]. He also loses his interest in his son for rejecting the Venom symbiote in "Rise of the Goblin".]]
* WhyAreYouNotMySon: Thinks this of Peter. [[spoiler:Deconstructed majorly in that thinking of Peter as his son means [[GuineaPigFamily injecting with the Carnage symbiote]] as we see in "Carnage".]]
* YouHaveFailedMe:
** Once threatened Doc Ock with this after the Frightful Four's failure with Spider-Man's capture (though it's possible he was merely threatening to fire rather than kill). Fortunately, Doc Ock was later able to get a sample of Spider-Man's DNA which gets used to create the Venom symbiote, a result Norman found satisfying enough to keep Doc Ock. [[spoiler:He eventually does inflict this in "Me Time" with a murder attempt, though he had a logical (at least pragmatic) reason to do so: if he had not blown up Doc Ock's lab, SHIELD would have been able to track the communications back to him.]]
** [[spoiler: Deems his own son unworthy after rejecting the Venom symbiote.]]

[[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/char_64878_4244.jpg]]
%%[[caption-width-right:343:]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MattLanter
----
* AdaptationNameChange: [[spoiler:He dons the "American Son" armor his comics counterpart briefly wore, but calls himself "The Patrioteer".]]
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: As in the film versions, Harry is good looking here as opposed to his nebbish look in the comics, ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan''.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: As stated above, this is possibly the ''nicest'' version of Harry to date. [[spoiler: This is mostly shown after Peter reveals being Spider-Man. Other incarnations of him react with anger and put a rift in their friendship. This version is actually thrilled for Peter and is still very loyal to him. Even before that, he was able to work things out with Spider-Man faster than said incarnations and became more willing to help him.]]
* AdaptationalHeroism: This version of Harry appears to be more heroic and nicer than both his comic and previous animated counterparts. [[spoiler: This version even becomes a superhero himself.]]
* AdaptationalVillainy: [[spoiler:Unlike Anti-Venom's comic counterpart serving as Eddie Brock's GoodCostumeSwitch, this version is created by Hydra with Harry Osborn as an unwilling host and to defeat Agent Venom.]]
* AntiHero: During his brief stint as Symbiote Spider-Man, he was a lot more aggressive than Peter. [[spoiler: As Patrioteer, he gets rid of this trait and becomes a Hero]].
* AntiVillain: Type II; Harry has absolutely no control over the Venom Symbiote and clearly has no intention of being evil. [[spoiler:He's also forced to villainy as Anti-Venom.]]
* BlackEyesOfEvil: Briefly gains these before fully transforming into Venom.
* BroughtDownToNormal: After being turned back to normal temporarly several times, he finally rejects the Venom Symbiote once and for all in the Season 1 finale, causing his father to take it and leave to find a new host.
* ChestInsignia: As Venom sports Venom's classic logo [[spoiler:andthe same as Anti-Venom]].
* CombatTentacles: He employs these as Venom [[spoiler:and Anti-Venom]].
* CompositeCharacter: Of Harry Osborn (original and Ultimate) -- being Peter and Mary Jane Watson's closest friend, and his grudge against Spider-Man for ruining his relationship with his father, and Angelo Fortunate/Venom -- the Venom symbiote's host whose considered inferior by his father. [[spoiler: He's also the Anti-Venom symbiote's host as well.]]
* CommutingOnABus: Unlike MJ after he becomes OutOfFocus he still appeared semi-frequently, if at irregular intervals.
* TheDragon: Anti-Venom was briefly this to Doctor Octopus.
* EvilCounterpart: Anti-Venom is one to Spider-Man and Agent Venom.
%%* EvilSoundsDeep
* FightingFromTheInside: Harry manages this in "Carnage", forcing the Venom symbiote off him.
* GreenEyedMonster: Played both the same as usual with him [[WellDoneSonGuy angry that his father seems to pay more attention to someone else, in this case Spider-Man]], and differently when he feels neglected because ''Peter's'' hanging out with his "detention buddies" rather than him. The emphasis on the latter helped make him a very sympathetic character.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Sort of. Anti-Venom is used to destroy Carnage's hive.]]
* LightIsNotGood: He is colored white as Anti-Venom.
* TheNotLoveInterest: With MJ demoted to childhood friend, Harry appears to be (unintentionally) upgraded to this trope. [[TheMasqueradeWillKillYourDatingLife Peter's constant ditching and inability to tell Harry the truth puts a massive strain on their friendship.]] Besides that, the spat the two have in "Venom" comes off as a girlfriend leaving her boyfriend only for the two to make up later on and get back together. Complete with a female friend helping out the hapless "boyfriend" and the "girlfriend" venting about the relationship to family.
* PowerArmor: Sports one as the Patrioteer, similar to his father's Iron Patriot armor.
* RichInDollarsPoorInSense: He once apparently couldn't tell that the fabric side of a mop is the part you clean with.
* StartOfDarkness: His start began the day his dad ran away to be the Green Goblin, which he blamed Spider-Man for. [[spoiler: However, his recently-cured dad then convinces him to forgive him before he actually get any further.]]
* TheSymbiote: His costume as Venom [[spoiler:and Anti-Venom]].

* PuppeteerParasite: The Anti-Venom symbiote takes over Harry as an unwilling host.
* TransformationTrinket: In "Back in Black", Harry initially uses a watch-like device to call up the black suit whenever he wants, keeping the Venom symbiote contained when not in use. In the end, though, the Venom symbiote still manages to manipulate Harry even with the watch which he destroys.
* WellDoneSonGuy: As usual, all he wants is his father's acknowledgement and approval. Explored more, too. We get ''plenty'' of scenes of Norman brushing off anything Harry does good (blaming his good grades on Peter is frequent, despite Peter's protests), and generally acts so aloof that his son will do anything to get his attention.

[[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Ultimate_spider_man_Octopus_1712.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:320: ''"I am a DOCTOR!"'']]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TomKenny
----
* AdmiringTheAbomination: At first, Doc Ock's ploy to enlist the help of the Ultimate Green Goblin was because he was the only Goblin to have killed any version of Spider-Man. Once the Goblin sees that Hydra (via Baron Mordo) is trying to turn the Goblin into a puppet, the Goblin is declared uncontrollable, making him similar in Doc Ock's eyes, saying "a monster by [his] own heart". Despite the fact that the Goblin nearly destroyed his reality and tossed him around like a ragdoll, Doc Ock acknowledges in the sewers that neither of them particularly favor Hydra's thinking, and claims he merely wanted an ally to help eliminate Spider-Man; the Goblin [[VillainTeamUp subsequently agrees to join at least Doc Ock, if not Hydra]].
-->'''Goblin:''' You wanted to control me. I cannot be controlled!
-->'''Dr. Octopus:'''Nor I. It is Hydra who wanted to be your master. Otto Octavius only needs [[AnOfferYouCantRefuse an ally...one who despises Spider-Man as much as I]].
-->'''Goblin:''' An ''ally''....
%%* AlliterativeName
* AndIMustScream: By the end of "The Iron Octopus", he ends up trapped in Oscorp again, this time with no tentacles and in a healing tank, presumably conscious, but his crippled body ensures he's not gonna be moving again.
* AnIcePerson: His Iron Octopus armor has an ice beam.
* ArchEnemy: Interestingly, he is both this to Peter Parker ''and'' Norman Osborn.
* AxCrazy: Despite his claims to the contrary, he is certainly ''not'' stable.
-->'''Dr. Octopus''': [[PunctuatedForEmphasis I. Am. Not. Insane!]]
* BadassNormal: Doesn't actually have any superpowers himself, but can more than hold his own with his mechanical arms.
* BaldOfEvil: After being captured in Season 1 by Norman again his head was shaved. His hair appears to have grown back by Season 2. When he joins HYDRA and uses Swarm to give himself a makeover in Season 4, he goes back to bald, but his head looks arguably worse.
* BigBad: He finally Season 4's main antagonist, along with Hydra. However, this doesn't last, and he's taken off the BigBad seat in "The Symbiote Saga".
* BigBadWannabe: He was TheHeavy for season 1's first half, and far more active in the field than Norman ever was. However, his plans are much more conservative and he lacks the genetic power versatility Norman has. [[spoiler: Finally it's completely subverted now Osborn choose not to be the Goblin again, even if forced]].
* BishonenLine:[[spoiler: His second nanite form looks more slim and attractive and is much more stronger than what he used to be]].
* BodyHorror: This version was never dying, only crippled and unclean. After uniting with HYDRA, he has adopted a look (but not the health) of his 616 counterpart's ''ComicBook/EndsOfTheEarth'' look; he has the PoweredArmor down, but lacks the IncurableCoughOfDeath. That doesn't stop Doc Ock from looking extremely wrinkled under his breathing mask, though. He's returned to his normal appearance after the Carnage symbiote is removed off of him.
* CassandraTruth: [[spoiler:Tries to tell everyone that Osborn ruined his life in "The Iron Octopus", but they either don't believe him or just assume him to be a madman.]]
* TheChessmaster: Assorted the Sinister Six's various members to be able to combat Spider-Man's team based on their skillsets. [[spoiler: And had the foresight to expand that into a Sinister ''Seven'' by having Scarlet Spider as TheMole, counting fully on Spider-Man's compassion to allow on the team and perform an episode-long bout of KickTheDog.]]
%%* BrokenAce
* CompositeCharacter: He is like his 616 iteration as the Sinister Six's leader but is also like his Ultimate version as he's a subcontractor for Ocsorp [[spoiler: and behind ''ComicBook/TheCloneSaga'' as the creator of a clone of Spider-Man]].
* CoolShades: To be more specific, red tinted glases in Season 1. He later moves on to goggles with a "+" engraving in Seasons 2 and 3 but later adopts strapless goggles that [[EyeScream attach directly to his eyes]] in Season 4. May also count as RedEyesTakeWarning.
* CreepyMonotone: His voice is creepily calm and as a robotic reverberating effect to it.
%%* DeadpanSnarker
* TheDogBitesBack: He eventually causes Osborn's transformation into the Green Goblin as a revenge for the treatment he got.
* TheDragon: To Norman Osborn once the series begins. "Spider-Slayers" reveals he was also one to Arnim Zola while creating an army of Spider-soldiers.
* DragonAscendant: Following the season one finale, Doc Ock strikes out on his own, ultimately being the BigBad for season 4's first arc.
* DisabledInTheAdaptation: Unlike his original counterpart where he was an EvilCripple through years of battles, this version was crippled as the result of the very accident that grafted the tentacles to him [[spoiler:until season 4 when he uses nanites to repair him.]]
* EnemyMine: A few times with Spidey, thanks in part to the good doctor's screw-ups. He briefly allies himself in "The Lizard" with Spider-Man when the Lizard visits, and does so again in "Venom Bomb" to stop the Goblin and the Venom-infected SHIELD staff. Both times, he [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere makes a hasty escape]].
* EvenEvilHasStandards: In "Spider Slayers, Part 2", [[spoiler:Doc Ock proves Spider-Man's assumptions that he'll betray them wrong, proclaiming himself a man of honor]].
* EvilCripple: Because of an accident, he lost the use of his limbs. He uses his metal arms to work, fight and move around. He's still menacing and rather creepy. In "Spider Slayers, Part 2", [[spoiler:it's shown that he developed a nanotech serum that would heal him of those deformities, allowing him to use his limbs again]].
%%* EvilGenius
* FauxAffablyEvil: Surprisingly, Doc Ock can be quite cordial in the right situations, which serves to highlight when he's not. One good instance would be in "Venom Bomb", where he actually ''complements'' Spidey for his scientific acumen... only to turn around and use Spidey as bait for Venom while he finishes the cure. Another instance would be in "Anti-Venom" when Zola introduces him to Michael Morbius who had read extensively on his papers and even asked a symbiote question. Doc Ock works together with Morbius to create the Anti-Venom symbiote, but being the InsufferableGenius that he is, takes sole credit but notes Morbius's "minor" contribution. Even when Morbius outs how to disable Anti-Venom, Doc Ock doesn't berate Morbius for it and instead says it's AllAccordingToPlan.
* FinalBoss: Of the series.
** StarterVillain: As Carnage-Ock for "The Symbiote Saga", being the first person to be infected with the Carnage symbiote.
* FourEyesZeroSoul: He is never seen without a pair of goggles with "+"-shaped lenses after building his battle suit.
* GeniusBruiser: When he actually starts fighting, most definitely.
* GlassCannon: His tentacles are a powerful weapon, but get past them and he's just a paraplegic human.
* HairReboot: As seen since Season 2. Reverted as of Season 4. [[spoiler: And rebooted ''again'' when separated from the Carnage symbiote.]]
* HandicappedBadass: For a cripple, he is sure quite skilled at fighting; when he finally decides to get out of his lab and capture Spider-Man himself, he succeeded on the ''first attempt''. None of the villains he hired before this were ever that successful.
* HeelRealization: [[spoiler:After being defeated and saved by Spider-Man, Spider-Man helps him realize that they are Not So Different and that he has caused more suffering in his attempt to garner respect from others. He then surrenders himself to Iron Man]].
* HiddenAgendaVillain: He hides Harry Osborn's identity as the Venom symbiote's host just as Norman comes into his office.
* IWasQuiteALooker: In "Me Time", he laments his appearance in a hall of mirrors. As shown during a flashback sequence in "The Iron Octopus", he wasn't kidding.
--> '''Doctor Octopus:''' ...''I'' was handsome once...
** [[spoiler: His second upgraded form essentially returns him to his original appearance.]]
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: He turns Osborn into the Green Goblin who he believed he could control. It didn't work out the way he intended.
* KickTheDog:
** His mocking of Curt Connors's transformation into the Lizard after taking one of his serums. And he later uses a remote that turns Connors back into the Lizard and forced to be a member of the Sinister Six.
** [[spoiler:In "Return of the Sinister Six", he turns the repentant Osborn back into the Goblin.]]
** [[spoiler: Does this to Peter repeatedly in "The New Sinister Six". From taunting Peter about Scarlet Spider's betrayal to attacking May Parker's home and family, all just to break Peter.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: He's got ''no'' comedic quirks (aside from a snide remark about having to pay for damages that Taskmaster caused), and when he's in an episode, there are signs that the episode will be just a bit more dark. When he's finally out of the lab, he's much more dangerous and frightening, even able to take down Spider-Man with no help.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Doc Ock may be insane, but he's not MadHatter crazy. As the MeleeATrois between himself and Mordo, Spider-Man, Doctor Strange and Kid Arachnid, and the Ultimate Green Goblin starts resulting in the Goblin using him to make craters, Doc Ock retreats into the sewers. It's not long before the Goblin finds him again once the battle ends, but Doc Ock chooses to pursue a VillainTeamUp with him instead of a forced alliance involving mind control (which he claims was his goal from the start), adding him to the roster of the new Sinister Six he begins organizing.
* LackOfEmpathy: He cares for no-one but himself. [[spoiler:Even Scarlet Spider. Doc Ock shows no care or respect for Scarlet Spider at all, seeing his "greatest creation" only as a tool.]] Doc Ock feels that caring for anything else just bogs down his mind.
* MadScientist: Wouldn't be Doc Ock if he wasn't.
* MirrorCharacter: In the GrandFinale, it becomes evident that he and Spider-Man aren't so different; they've been bullied their lives, always criticized by others, and do whatever it takes to gain others' respect. [[spoiler:In the end, Doc Ock realizes that he and Spidey are more similar than they realize, leading him to stand down and turn himself in]].
* MythologyGag:
** His armored appearances in the finales of Seasons 1 and 2 is based on his more recent look in the comics' ''Ends of the Earth'' arc.
** [[spoiler:During Season 3's premiere, Loki switches minds with Spider-Man as a part of their plan. Otto notes that the idea is brilliant and that he's "going to write that down". In the comic ''ComicBook/SuperiorSpiderMan'', Otto takes over Peter's mind and life for some time.]]
** When Otto comes under an alliance with HYDRA, he hacks into Swarm's nanobots, which begin refurbishing the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. Tri-carrier and also refurbish him. What look does he adopt? His ''Ends of the Earth'' battle armor but replaces the IncurableCoughOfDeath for a HYDRA logo. He's not dying, though; it's symbolic of his new allegiance. [[spoiler: When he briefly takes control of HYDRA Island, he reforms every HYDRA logo with ones evocative of Carolyn Trainer (Lady Octopus).]]
** [[spoiler: Morbius forces a GrandTheftMe via Carnage symbiote on Doc Ock; the very notion of Doctor Octopus merged with a symbiote brings memories of ''[[VideoGame/SpiderMan2000 Spider-Man]]'' (Monster-Ock with Carnage) as well as ''VideoGame/SpiderManEdgeOfTime'' (Atrocity with Anti-Venom)]].
** In "Spider Slayers, Part 2", [[spoiler:he augments himself with a perfected nano tech solution that restores the use of his legs and gives him an appearance evocative of his counterpart from ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries'']].
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: [[spoiler: Openly admitting that he doesn't care about Scarlet Spider (right in front of Scarlet Spider no less) ends up being the very thing that pushes the already-conflicted Been Reilly to turn against him.]]
* NotSoStoic: [[spoiler:"Why I Hate Gym" shows him losing his temper for the very first time. And "Me Time" is basically one big bout of TranquilFury on his part.]]
* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler: Takes a dose of octopus DNA to mutate into an enormous, [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos Cthuhlu-esque]] monster that slowly begins losing its mind before being taken down and reverted by Spidey.]]
* OutOfCharacterMoment: Briefly makes a snide remark in "Why I Hate Gym" about the damages that he'll have to pay for to Taskmaster who broke one of his machines.
* PoweredArmor: After his first defeat, he builds one of these styled off Iron Man armor, though with his tentacles still as free as ever. It helps him quite a bit, even to survive being punched through three buildings. Doubles as a MythologyGag to his Classic counterpart who donned a suit after learning he was dying.
** [[spoiler: Has a third one in "Return of the Sinister Six".]]
** And as of Season 4, has taken on his ''Ends of the Earth'' version's own armor, though it (once again) has nothing to do with him dying and instead represents his turn to HYDRA's side. This version only has his primary four tentacles instead of his eight, and it (like the source armor) has no other offensive capabilities. [[spoiler: Loses this armor after being separated from the Carnage symbiote.]]
%%* RedEyesTakeWarning
* ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated: Says this almost word-for-word in "The Lizard".
-->'''Dr. Octopus:''' Reports of my demise were greatly exaggerated.
* TalkingTheMonsterToDeath: [[spoiler:It is because of Spider-Man that after he saves him from becoming an octopus-monster that he convinces Doc Ock to stand down]].
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Has this relationship with Zola. The Hydra scientist constantly argues with Doc Ock, telling him he [[SkewedPriorities wastes time hunting down Spider-Man and recreating the Sinister Six]], wasting Zola's resources in the process. Downplayed once Doc Ock rejoins Hydra's main forces, as Zola is actually kind enough to give him a lab assistant in [[AscendedFanboy Dr. Michael Morbius]].
* TheSociopath: Whether he was one before is debatable, but by the time of the show it's clear he has no empathy for anything but himself.
%%* TheStoic
%%* {{Sadist}}
* SourOutsideSadInside: [[spoiler:The series finale eventually reveals that underneath the mask of the domineering, destructive, ControlFreak is a man who wanted his intelligence to be respected]].
* SpiderLimbs: His tentacles, natch.
* TheStarscream: Hinted by both the producers and his actions in the show. [[spoiler:Confirmed in later episodes.]]
%%* TookALevelInBadass
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Norman finally tires of his failures in "Me Time" and torches his lab. Thanks to Spidey, he escapes death.
** Is on the other end of this in "Iron Vulture". When it's outed that Ock had been playing Vulture the entire time and lied to him about his memories, Ock responds by [[AndIMustScream reconfiguring Vulture's armor]]. Of course, Vulture doesn't die...[[FateWorseThanDeath he just has his free will removed]] and if his appearance in "Beached" is anything to go by, he's FightingFromTheInside while being Ock's mindless drone.
* VaderBreath: When the air vents in his harness are clogged.
* VillainHasAPoint: It ''was'' dumb of Connors to test someone else's unfinished serum on himself.
* VillainRespect: Is surprised and, though he does his best not to show it, impressed by Spidey's scientific ability, when one accounts for his ego.
* VillainTeamUp: Becomes the leader of the Sinister Six.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: Went to university with Connors and worked with Osborn.
* WouldHurtAChild: Given a lot of his enemies are between the ages of 13 and 18, this would definitely qualify him. This can range from fighting them to experimenting on them. Heck, he gets even more sadistic towards Spider-Man after discovering Peter's identity and the fact that Peter's a teenager himself.

----
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Much to his teammates' annoyance, he actually laughs at some of Spider-Man's jokes in ''The Sinister Six''.
* BaldOfEvil: As Electro 2.0 he is completely hairless.
* CompositeCharacter: He wore the costume of the classic Electro, but his supercharged form resembles Ultimate Electro.
* DiminishingVillainThreat: His Electro 2.0. form was basically unstoppable in his first appearance, taking over the whole city's electrical system, and had to be defeated by cunning. However, in "The Sinister Six", Electro 2.0 barely seems more dangerous than he was in his regular form.
* EnergyBeing: After Spider-Man unknowingly supercharged him. He turns back to normal-ish at the end of the same episode, but come "Sinister Six" he has seemingly been permanently supercharged.
* EvilIsPetty: Even after he got upgraded to the point of [[StoryBreakerPower being able to absorb electricity all around the city]], the best idea of a plan he can come up with is to ask all inhabitants to give him all their money. It takes ''Nova'' to point out that he can do more with that for him to figure it out.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Was a fairly harmless villain that Spidey took as a joke until he accidentally supercharged him, turning him into a real threat.
* MythologyGag: When we first see Electro in his debut episode, he's in his classic green and yellow star-masked costume. After Spider-Man accidentally supercharged him, he turns into a new version of himself that looks closer to his Ultimate incarnation.
* PoweredArmor: Gets a suit in ''Return of the Sinister Six''.

[[caption-width-right:344: ''"Nothing stops the Rhino!"'']]
-> Voiced by: Daryl Sabara (Alex), Max Mittelman (Rhino)
----
* AdaptationNameChange: In the comics, the Rhino's real name is Aleksei Sytsevich, with his original name, Alex O'Hirn, retconned into being an alias. In the cartoon, Alex O'Hirn is his real name.
* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: This version of the Rhino has ''much'' more angst issues about being mutated and [[spoiler:bullied into becoming a criminal]] than his mainstream counterpart.
%%* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: Duh.
* ArchEnemy: To Flash Thompson/[[spoiler:Agent Venom]] in his debut episode and half of ''"The Rampaging Rhino"''.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler: At first it seemed like he was TheMole for Doctor Octopus after Ock joinied with HYDRA, but really, he was brainwashed into helping Ock escape and join the Six and it was the Scarlet Spider who was the mole.]]
%%* TheBrute
* CompositeCharacter: Possibly; he has the same name as Rhino in the comics, but his personality and motivation make him closer to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Weiderman Charlie Weiderman]], one of the Molten Men. He also looks strangely similar to the version of Seymour O'Reilly from ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan,'' though that also may be a coincidence.
* CursedWithAwesome: He's an unstoppable [[spoiler: teenaged]] brute with incredible strength, durability, size and speed that gives even the Hulk trouble. As a downside though, his genius-level intelligence has been downgrade significantly as Rhino and can no longer return to his normal life due to his permanent mutation, much to his dismay.
* DontYouDarePityMe: Sort of; Peter tried taking his defense in front of Flash and offered his friendship to him. He declined, arguing that Peter was only noticing him because he pitied him.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Granted, [[spoiler:Flash ''did'' bully Alex and was a horrible {{Jerkass}} to him, even more so than he used to be to Peter. But going as far as destroying his car, his ''home'', and even attempting to take his life is clearly overkill.]]
* DumbMuscle: Each time he drinks the mutagen that transforms him, [[spoiler:Alex]] becomes dumber and more aggressive, to the point that he has difficulty putting words together into actual sentences. Surprisingly, it makes him creepier by showing [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity how much effect the mutagen has on him]].
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Was a nerd who was picked on by Flash, but when he drinks Oscorp chemical compound (rhino mutagen), he turns into a nigh unstoppable juggernaut that can even hurt Power Man.
* HeelFaceTurn: During the climax of ''"The Rampaging Rhino"'', [[spoiler:Spidey convinces Rhino to uses his angst-filled rage about being mutated forever towards something more beneficial: joining Spidey's New Warriors team and becoming a hero. He seals the deal by saving the Lincoln Tunnel from an oil explosion and officially accepting the offer. However, he betrays Spider-Man for Ock because he was promised a cure, only for him to be brainwashed. Alex is cured of both his brainwashing and his mutation in the finale]].
* HulkSpeak: As a result of the Mutagen his IQ and speach centres hits rock bottom.
* IAmAMonster /IJustWantToBeNormal: Primary the reason for his rage during the episode ''"The Rampaging Rhino"''.
* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight /CooldownHug: This tactic was used on him by Spidey during the climax of ''"The Rampaging Rhino"'' as a way of bringing out "the Alex side" back to Rhino.
%%* TheJuggernaut
* LightningBruiser: Strong enough to seriously injure ''Power Man'' and fight evenly with the Hulk, ridiculously fast for his size, and almost impossible to injure.
* MagicPants: For some reason, his clothes remain undamaged and transform with him when he turns into the Rhino, and then back again. Even his watch reappears.
* MirrorCharacter: He's a ShadowArchetype to Peter/Spider-Man, of all people. Both are [[spoiler:unpopular smart kids from the same school who got mutated by Oscorp Mutagen (though Spidey got luckier); both got bullied by Flash]]; And Rhino even admitted that he wanted to be like Spider-Man, hence why he started drinking the mutagen. The difference is that [[spoiler:Peter went on to use his powers as a hero and tried to help Flash be a better person, while Alex took the path of revenge and raised his hatred of Flash to creepily psychotic levels.]]
** {{Lampshaded}} by Spidey as he was trying to calm him down back into his [[spoiler:Alex]] side.
* MotiveDecay: He had a perfectly understandable motivation in his introduction episode. Come ''The Sinister Six'', he is portrayed as nothing but a mutagen addict who agrees to join Octopus' team in exchange of more serum.
* MythologyGag: He looks like [[VideoGame/TheAmazingSpiderMan The Amazing Spider-Man Video Game]] version of the Rhino.
* {{Nerd}}: His true identity, Alex, is one at Peter's school.
%%* NighInvulnerable
* NoYou: Spidey explaining to him the concept of HeWhoFightsMonsters gets the response of "I monster you!".
%%* PoweredArmor: [[spoiler:Gets one in ''Return of the Sinister Six''. He even gets treads.]]
* RedHerringMole: [[spoiler:Rhino did betray SHIELD and free Doc Ock during the Lizard outbreak in Season 4, leading Spider-Man to believe that Rhino was TheMole, who was not a spider, that Vulture warned about. Turns out Vulture misled Spider-Man, and Rhino was only recently bribed before being brainwashed, and the mole was none other than Scarlet Spider]].
* {{Revenge}}: His main motivation is to get back at Flash for bullying him
%%* SuperStrength
%%* SuperToughness
* VillainTeamUp: Becomes a member of the Sinister Six.

----

%%* BadassBaritone
%%* BadassNormal: Doesn't seem to have any superpowers when first seen. He's still able to take down three of Spider-Man's teammates before standing easily against both him and White Tiger.
%%* BeardOfEvil
* CrazyPrepared: He seems to have a specific weapon, trap or gimmick for almost every enemy or situation, including weapons to deal with all of Spider-Man and White Tiger's teammates.

* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: The beetle, obviously.
* ArchEnemy: He's later revealed to have a personal grudge against Agent Coulson, who was the only SHIELD agent ever able to catch him.
%%* ArmCannon
* AttackDrone: Uses them against Hawkeye and Spider-Man, in ''large'' numbers.
%%* BadassBookworm
* BadassNormal: He only has a suit of powered armor when going up against an entire team of superheroes.
* BeamSpam: His wrist blasters have a pretty impressive rate of fire.
* CombatPragmatist: He'll use sneak attacks, cloaking devices, overwhelming firepower, attack drones and anything else he can to gain the upper-hand.
* {{Expy}}:
** This guy has more than a few similarities with [[Franchise/StarWars Boba Fett]].
** Possibly unintentional, but he bares an uncanny resemblance to [[Series/KamenRiderBlade Kamen Rider Garren]].
* HiredGuns: When he is first introduced Nick Fury informs Spider-Man's team that the Beetle is one of the best, if not ''the'' best, mercenaries in the world.
* ItsPersonal: Surprisingly not against Spider-Man, but [[spoiler: against Agent Coulson because he took him down one time.]] However, his first appearance in the second season shows he has now developed a grudge against Spider-Man due to his continued interference with his plans.
* InvisibilityCloak: His armor is shown to have a cloaking device built-in during [[spoiler: his attack on the unfinished helicarrier.]]
%%* LaserSight: Built into his armor.
* LightningBruiser: Wears heavy armor, carries lots of firepower, is able to hold his own in a fistfight with superheroes, and uses his jetpack to rocket into combat.
* MacrossMissileMassacre: The Beetle's combat philosophy seems to be that there's no problem that can't be solved with a missile launcher or twelve.
* MythologyGag: Abner Jenkins's Beetle Mark I, II, and III armors from the mainstream comics appear during the team's {{Imagine Spot}}s. The armour he wears in the show itself is based off his outfit from the Ultimate Marvel comic.
* PoweredArmor: His suit is modelled after the one worn by the ''Ultimate'' comics Beetle, and is heavily armed.
* ProfessionalKiller: He is a mercenary and assassin.
* TheQuietOne: He only says four words in his debut appearance: [[ThisCannotBe "Missed?! I never miss!"]] He doesn't said a word in Season 2.
* VillainTeamUp: Becomes a member of the Sinister Six.
* VocalDissonance: Judging from what little we've heard him actually say, he seems to have quite a high-pitched voice for such a [[Franchise/StarWars Boba Fett]]-esque mercenary. Probably why he's so quiet. Has a much deeper voice in his second appearance.
* WalkingArmory: His armor has enough weapons to rival War Machine.
* YouTalkTooMuch: Power Man states this about him right before knocking him out. Though it's obviously a joke as that was the first and only time in the episode that Beetle ever spoke a word.

Iron Fist's spirit brother from K'un-L'un. Decidedly more arrogant and violent than Danny.
----
* AdaptationOriginConnection: To Iron Fist; the two have nothing to do with each others in the comic, while here they were spirit brothers in this series.
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: Like you wouldn't ''believe''... it eventually becomes his undoing.
* AintTooProudToBeg: First begs Spider-Man to help him out of the illusion. Then after being [[CurbStompBattle curb stomped]] by Danny, he's reduced to begging for mercy. He gets exiled.
* BadassNormal: Has no superpowers, yet can fight evenly with both Spider-Man and Iron Fist.
* BewareMyStingerTail: [[spoiler: As a member of the Sinister Six, his PoweredArmor has a scorpion tail like his namesake.]]
* CainAndAbel: The Cain to Danny's Abel.
* CombatPragmatist: Will dip his blade with poison to get the edge in battle.
* CompositeCharacter: He has many similarities towards the Iron Fist villain Davos. He is also a hook weapon user like the Mortal Kombat character of the same name and later sports a battlesuit with a scorpion suit similar to the Ultimate Marvel equivalent with the same name (Peter's clone).
* FatalFlaw: {{Pride}}, with a nice side helping of {{Greed}}.
* {{Foil}}: To Iron Fist. Both are skilled martial artists, but where Danny is kind, humble, and has a sense of honor, Scorpion is an arrogant, self-centered blowhard who cares only for himself and will gladly fight dirty to get what he wants. He's a dark reflection of what Danny would be if he let himself be controlled by his pride.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Constantly berates Danny for dishonoring K'un-L'un by consorting with outsiders. This from the guy who poisoned Danny to keep him from the contest.
* InNameOnly: Initially bears no resemblance (story or appearance wise) to any of the various Marvel villains named Scorpion. He does however have many similarities with the Iron Fist villain Steel Serpent/Davos. That said, the scorpion tail flail is lifted from Maximus Gargan, the Ultimate Marvel version of Scorpion (a Mexican mobster with unbreakable skin and aforementioned flail but no costume; more of a criminal than a super-villain) and later takes on similar armor to the original Ultimate Scorpion.
* MythologyGag:
** He acquires a green suit of PoweredArmor when he joins the Sinister Six.
** At the beginning of "Agent Venom", he's been taken over by the Venom symbiote.
* PoisonousPerson: Uses a special poison that inflicts blindness.
* PoweredArmor: In "Return of the Sinister Six", he gets powered armor like the rest of them. It makes him look more like the the original 616 version.
* RaceLift: This version is Asian instead of white or Mexican, like Mac Gargan in the original and Ultimate comics respectively.
* {{Revenge}}: Scorpion is exiled from K'un-L'un and seeks vengeance against Spider-Man and Iron Fist, clad in powered armor resembling his comic-book equivalents.
* ShoutOut: A ninja with a grappling hook that's named Scorpion? [[Franchise/MortalKombat Hmmm...]]
* SmugSnake: More like smug scorpion, but still...
* UngratefulBastard: His response to Spider-Man rescuing him from the illusion? To flip out that an infidel dared to touch him.
* VillainousBreakdown: After Spider-Man is declared the winner, he flips out and attacks Danny. After being beaten by Danny, he's reduced to begging. It's quite satisfying.

----
* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: While TruerToTheText to the Ultimate Green Goblin of the comics, this version has super senses and can fly.
* AlternateSelf: He's an even more powerful (and psychotic) version of his prime universe counterpart.
* CompositeCharacter: Sports wings akin to [[ComicBook/SpiderMan2099 Goblin 2099]], but he's otherwise TruerToTheText of the actual ''ComicBook/UltimateMarvel'' Green Goblin (including his skin being a darker green, MagicPants, leaping around as his mode of travel, and being pyrokinetic).
* DarkerAndEdgier: ''Definitely'' this to the prime Goblin, thanks to his bestial nature and fondness for melee combat, and is ironically closer in appearance to the ''actual'' Ultimate Goblin from the comics (minus the wings).
* EvilSoundsDeep: His voice sounds deeper than his counterpart, with an [[PowerEchoes echoey]] quality added to it.
* EvilerThanThou:
** He was able to take down his prime counterpart with ease.
** Just like Doctor Octopus, they both are uncontrollable to anyone who wants to use them.
* FlyingFirepower: Possesses wings, and the ability to shoot [[PlayingWithFire flames]] through his eyes and hands.
* HeroKiller: He killed the Peter Parker of his world.
* HornedHumanoid: Possesses a pair of horns.
%%* InvincibleVillain
* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler:Ultimate Goblin smashed the Siege Perilous on Baron Mordo for trying to control him]].
* MagicPants: Has these. They're never ruined beyond the tears and seams they sport now.
* OmnicidalManiac: After discovering that the Siege Perilous can be used to create tears in reality, he decides to use it to destroy Prime Spidey's world.
* OtherMeAnnoysMe: He dismisses the Prime Goblin as "small and frail." This despite the fact that the only difference between the two is that Ultimate Goblin has [[DarkerAndEdgier a darker skin pigmentation]], [[HornsOfVillainy devilish horns]], [[SpikesOfVillainy more spikes popping out everywhere]], a [[GoodWingsEvilWings pair of batlike wings]], has a penchant for PlayingWithFire, and [[MagicPants Magic]] [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Pants]].
* {{Sadist}}: He doesn't give a care in any universe he's in.
* ThereCanOnlyBeOne: He thinks only he can be Goblin, and thinks the Prime is a false Goblin.
* TruerToTheText: Wings aside, this version is closer to the Green Goblin of the ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan'' comics than the show's main version, including similar horns, his skin being a darker green, being pyrokinetic, and leaping around as his primary means of travel.
* VillainDecay: He is defeated shockingly easily in "Return of the Sinister Six, Part One".
* VillainTeamUp: Is ultimately convinced to join forces with Doctor Octopus and become part of the new Sinister Six.

* CompositeCharacter: He's [[spoiler: Adrian Toomes]], but in contrast his comic counterpart (who has no powers and relies on a [[ClothesMakeTheSuperman winged flight suit]]), is an actual bird mutate like the Jimmy Natale version.
* CriminalAmnesiac: A rather tragic variant as whatever Doc Ock did, he has ''no'' memory of his past and is forced to work with Taskmaster knowing who he was due to stealing data from Doc Ock's computer.
* EmoTeen: He is ''very'' angsty and in his human form even has the stereotypical look down.
* FightingFromTheInside: [[spoiler: It was implied that he intentionally led Spidey and Amadeus to the island where Sand-Man was being held captive, so they could save Sandman from Doc Ock.]]

* PoweredArmor: He dons an armored suit in "The Iron Vulture".

A scientist from WWII who has transferred his mind to a machine.
----
* ArcVillain: For most of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy arc, especially since [[SealedEvilInACan he was held in said facility for who knows how long]] and was a nemesis to one of the teachers there, the Whizzer.
* BigBadWannabe: [[spoiler:He pretty much thinks of himself as the BigBad of ''Ultimate Spider-Man vs the Sinister 6'' with Doc Ock as his lackey only for Doc Ock to be the BigBad and betrayed Zola. Doc Ock later gloats to Zola's projected face about retrieving the "proper" nanotech research he had originally intended to use, which was held back and twisted by Zola for some reason.]]
* MadScientist: As usual when it comes to the character.
* KnightOfCerebus: Another of only a few villains to have nothing comedic about them.
* StupidJetpackHitler: Seems to have transferred his mind to a robotic body during World War II. He's also [[BodySurf constantly switching bodies]] in the present day, from his classic body to an enormous tank-like body (which wins the SuperpowerLottery ''big time''), and finally to a more modernized and armored version of his original form.

* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: He has wings which most other versions which never had and instead flies on his own.
* AdaptationalVillainy: He is never a member of Hydra in the original comics. He is also more sympathetic in other versions.
* BatOutOfHell: Doctor Octopus injects him with a vampire bat formula, causing him to become a humanoid bat. He later looks less gruesome.
* CompositeCharacter: His villainous traits come from Loxias Crown/Hunger, such as his affiliation with Hydra and antagonism with Flash.
* TheDogBitesBack: When he first appeared, he was Doc Ock's underappreciated lab assistant. When he returns, he takes great pleasure in Doc Ock's captive status being forced to be ''his'' assistant.
* MythologyGag: Following his transformation, Agent Venom calls him a "living vampire".
** This isn't the [[WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries first time he became a bat monster]].

%%[[caption-width-right:343:]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MattLanter (major hosts), Creator/StevenWeber ("Venom", "Venom Bomb"), Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson ("The Avenging Spider-Man"), Creator/DeeBradleyBaker ("Agent Venom")
A black, artificial life form who can take over whoever is its host.
----
* AdaptationDistillation: This version's origin is more like a mix between the Ultimate version of Carnage and the Marvel Adventures version of Venom. In addition, this is the first version (in animation) where his identity is Harry Osborn and Flash Thompson instead of Eddie Brock.
* AdaptationalVillainy: [[spoiler:Unlike Eddie or Flash, Harry was never able to use the Venom symbiote to be a (anti)hero, instead is a near mindless monster.]]
* AdaptedOut: [[spoiler:Neither Eddie nor Mac Gargan are anywhere to be seen as the Venom symbiote's host.]]
* AntiVillain: Type II; Venom has absolute control over Harry and briefly Flash. His two major hosts clearly had no intention of being evil.
* BodyHorror: Has a hole blasted through him by Nova in "Venomous", closing it like it was nothing.
* ChestInsignia: The Venom symbiote is initially without one but manifests a stylized white spider on its back and chest after bonding to Spider-Man and retains this feature when bonded to Harry and Flash, though its multiple hosts in "Venom Bomb" and "Avenging Spider-Man" lack one.
* CombatTentacles: The Venom symbiote's main means of ranged attack.
* CompositeCharacter: Venom's biology connected to Spider-Man envokes his Ultimate Marvel iteration but sports his original iteration's design where Eddie was the host (while Harry and Flash were the hosts) and those occasions working under the Green Goblin envokes Gargan.
* TheDragon: Harry-Venom was briefly this to the Goblin.
* EvilCounterpart: The Venom symbiote is one to Spider-Man, being a creature made from Spidey's blood.
%%* EvilSoundsDeep: Ooh boy, does it ever.
* HulkingOut: Venom is a ''lot'' bulkier than Harry and Flash.
* IAmAHumanitarian: The Venom symbiote's first words upon bonding to Spider-Man and later tried to take a bite out of Iron Fist.
--->'''Venom:''' "Friends... yummy!"
* IAmLegion:
** Subverted for the first time in a long time. The justification is that Venom takes complete control of his host.
--->'''Venom:''' "There is no-one else! Venom is all there is!"
** Played around with in the episode "Carnage". [[spoiler: The first thing Venom says when bonded with Harry again is: "We are Venom." Venom then switches between using 'I' and 'we' depending on whether it's Harry talking or Venom.]]
* JaggedMouth: Sans host, the Venom symbiote has a jagged gash for a mouth.
* KnightOfCerebus: Very few scenes with Venom are played for humor, with {{Imagine Spot}}s becoming less frequent as a result. The episode "Venomous" makes him even more terrifying than usual.
* ManBitesMan: Does not hesitate to use his tongue and [[FangsAreEvil teeth]] in combat.
* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: A staple of his design, although Flash-Venom sported a JaggedMouth instead in "Venom".
* MoreThanMindControl: The Venom symbiote [[spoiler: acted on Harry's negative feelings towards his father in seasons 1 and 2, and later Flash's former bullying personality in season 4.]]
* MythologyGag: Harry-Venom's form resembles Eddie-Venom's original design in season 1 and its look in ''Venom: Lethal Protector'' in season 2. Flash-Venom's look resembles the latter look in season 4.
* NotQuiteDead: The Venom symbiote is seemingly KilledOffForReal in its debut episode; then it turns out that Osborn wants Doctor Octopus to create more like it, and Harry finds a sample that survived. Harry appears in "Back in Black" with control of Venom. It lasted only a little while before Venom took control and was believed to be destroyed for good by Spidey... only to show later that some of Venom survived in Harry's ear, returning in "Venomous" and "Rise of the Goblin". [[spoiler: It is seemingly KilledOffForReal again in "Venom Bomb" when Peter uses the Iron Spider armor to incinerate the organism. Subverted with a mass-produced Venom symbiote created by Doc Ock for Loki to which remnants bonded to Scorpion and Flash.]]
* OverlyLongTongue: He has a long, prehensile tongue that he uses as a {{Combat Tentacle|s}}.
* PuppeteerParasite: The Venom symbiote takes over whoever is its host.
* RubberMan: Venom can stretch his arms and [[ShapeshifterWeapon morph them into different shapes]].
* SignificantDoubleCasting: Venom has the same actor as whoever his host is.
* TheSymbiote: An artificial life form made form a mutated sample of Spider-Man's blood.

----
* AcademyOfEvil: His second appearance shows him at one of his facilities.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: As in the comics, he can perfectly mimic a person's movements by observing them in action ''once''... unless that person is Deadpool.
%%* BadBoss
* BadassBaritone: He has a deep voice and is one of the show's {{Big Bad}}s.
* BadassNormal: If you exclude his photographic memory, he's just a regular man with a lot of equipment. Doesn't prevent him from easily defeating Iron Fist in hand-to-hand combat. Even Spider-Man and White Tiger had trouble against him and had to get him in the dark to defeat him.
* BigBadWannabe: His first couple appearances aren't much to speak of, as he's OnlyInItForTheMoney. But come season 3, he takes a much more personal role in fighting Spider-Man's newer team, but as mostly normal guy, he's still outclassed by the more genius planners like the Green Goblin.
* BountyHunter: In his first appearance, he's hired by Doctor Octopus to find out who Spider-Man is.
* CombatPragmatist: He ''revels'' in this.
--> '''Spider-Man''': Anyone ever tell ya copying is cheating?\\
'''Taskmaster''': I call it ''winning''.
* CoolMask: His mask looks like a skull and gives him yellow eyes with black sclera.
* CrazyPrepared: Someone saw his face behind the mask? Turns out that it was a mask as well.
* EvilSoundsDeep: He ''is'' voiced by Creator/ClancyBrown.
* {{Expy}}: His role in season 3 draws parallels to Slade "ComicBook/{{Deathstroke}}" Wilson. Particularly from WesternAnimation/TeenTitans.
* IfICantHaveYou: A non-romantic example, as he was ready to kill Amadeus Cho so that no-one would get the Iron Spider armor (Then perform a VillainExitStageLeft).
* InTheHood: He's always seen wearing a hood.
* JetPack: In rocket boot form.
* KnightOfCerebus: He's one of the villains that's a genuine threat.
* OhCrap: When Taskmaster realized Deadpool is nearby.
--> '''Taskmaster:''' Deadpool... is HERE!?
* SkullForAHead: His mask looks like a skull.
* VillainTakesAnInterest:
** Towards Spider-Man; he sees potential in Spidey and would like to take as an apprentice, although he decides it's no longer worth it during their next meetings.
** [[spoiler:In "Agent Venom", Taskmaster notices the Venom symbiote bonded to Flash Thompson, remarking at Agent Venom dark potential and tries to recruit as well. When he offers, Agent Venom answers by striking back, so he decides to electrocute the Venom symbiote off of Flash and "give it to someone more worthy" before Spider-Man intervenes and the two knock him into the sea. He flees, but is later shown hacking and obtaining a copy of the file on the new teenage Heroes...]]
** [[spoiler: Also done in "Cloak and Dagger", where he has already successfully recruited both Cloak and Dagger, feeding into the two youths' general mistrust of others as a means of keeping away from Spider-Man and S.H.I.E.L.D.]]
** [[spoiler:He ultimately failed in "The New Iron Spider" at recruiting Iron Spider when Iron Spider saw that Taskmaster was gonna shoot Spidey while Spidey was savng people.]]
** [[spoiler:At the end of "The Vulture", he gets the Vulture on his side by revealing he knows the youth's name Adrian Toomes.]]
* WeCanRuleTogether: Made this offer to Spidey. The webslinger refused.
%%* WhiteMaskOfDoom
* UnknownRival: To Norman Osborn, since both share an interest in Spider-Man. Notably, Taskmaster is unknown ''on purpose'' since he voluntarily hid his interest.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: During the episode "New Warriors", he constantly tells [[spoiler:Cloak and Dagger]] that they can't trust anyone. [[spoiler:When Spidey accidentally knocks Cloak between the Tri-carrier's turbines, Dagger begs Taskmaster to save Cloak, only for Taskmaster to repeat what he said and fly off. This leads to their HeelFaceTurn]].

* CainAndAbel: The Cain to Thor's Abel, obviously.
* TheChessmaster: Manipulates the rules of the Asgardian Boar Hunt to get the Hunters to try to take out "Spider-Ham". [[spoiler: He doesn't count on Thor and SHIELD going so far to defend Spidey, though.]]
* ComicBookFantasyCasting: He looks quite similar to Creator/TomHiddleston.
%%* DeadpanSnarker
* DenserAndWackier: The currently best-known version of Loki as portrayed in the comic, movie and [[WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes cartoons]] is a vicious [[TheChessmaster chessmaster]] whose plans typically involved very elaborated schemes to murder Thor, steal Odin's powers, [[TakeOverTheWorld world domination]], and at least once genocide. While this one retain some of those goals, he usually rather focus on petty acts of revenge and relies on goofy BalefulPolymorph curses rather than large-scale manipulations.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: At the end of the season 3 two-parter, he escapes using [[spoiler: Heimdall's portal, not realizing that the portal does not lead to Asgard but to a realm where all the monsters who were under control of Venom were.]]
%%* EvilBrit
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Even he wouldn't spit in a hotdog before giving it to someone he dislikes.
* FatalFlaw: Like his brother, Loki is pretty arrogant himself.
%%* FauxAffablyEvil
* FreakyFridayFlip: Does a rather ingenious one in the Season 3 two-part premiere, ''"Avenging Spider-Man"''. [[spoiler:After gaining Spidey's body, he leads an army of Venom-powered monsters before then switching back to his own body (after Spidey inadvertently hurts his own body) and pretends to still be Spider-Man stuck in Loki's body just as the Avengers arrive. You gotta give it to Loki; that was smart.]]
* IfYouWontIWill: In "Run Pig Run," after Spidey evades the boar hunters until sunset, when the hunt ends, Loki is so furious that he violates the Asgardian laws by trying to do Spidey in himself, only to get punched out and taken into Asgard's custody for his troubles.
* {{Irony}}: [[spoiler:Loki mocks Thor about his arrogance, but later Spider-Man uses Loki's own ego against him.]]
* MasterOfIllusion: He disguises himself as a hot-dog vendor to get Peter to eat a hot-dog that turns Peter into ComicBook/SpiderHam in "Run Pig Run" and spends the episode taking on many forms to help the hunters either find Spider-Ham or just give Pete a worse day than he already has.
* PhysicalGod: He is the Norse god of mischief.
* {{Troll}}: Some of the things he does are purely ForTheEvulz, in particular his revenge gambit against Spider-Man.

* FangsAreEvil: Like Venom, Carnage has MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily and is a villain.
* GigglingVillain: The second version cackles constantly. Spider-Man gets sick of it pretty quickly.
-->'''Spidey:''' What is so funny, there's nothing funny!
* GoryDiscretionShot: It's easy to miss, but when a cloud of dust is stirred up, several [=SHIELD=] agents are dragged into and never come out. [[FridgeHorror And if he's anything like other versions of Carnage...]]
* TheHeavy: Ths second version for "The Symbiote Saga" arc. Though he was created by Morbius, Carnage never comes into direct contact ([[spoiler:at least until one possesses Mary Jane Watson as a "Carnage Queen"]]) and acts on his own agenda.
* IAmLegion: The second version [[ThanatosGambit allows himself to be destroyed]] in order to spread huge chunks of the Carnage symbiote across Manhattan to possess ''everyone''.
* JaggedMouth: The second version has black teeth that blend into his face.
* KnightOfCerebus: The second version has [[spoiler: to this up to eleven when briefly bonded with Doc Ock as a [[TheVoiceless dead silent]] attacker except some disturbing roars, and is much more feral with the tentacles.]]
* LaughingMad: The second version constantly hams it up with maniacal laughter.
-->'''Spider-Man:''' What is so funny?! There's nothing funny!
* LightningBruiser: Spidey's team notes that the first version has many improvements over Venom, and Carnage practically paints the walls with both many S.H.I.E.L.D. troops as well as the team itself.
* MythologyGag:
** The first version's fighting style appears to be lifted from the ''VideoGame/UltimateSpiderMan'' and ''VideoGame/SpiderManShatteredDimensions'' video-games--using tendrils from its back and shoulders to move around, a pouncing and charging attack pattern, bouncing off both surfaces and heroes themselves. Several moves it does (for instance, using the tendrils to sling itself forward into an enemy before bouncing off said enemy and back on its feet) are almost exactly the same as moves used in the videogame. Also a bit to ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries'' which likewise has an alternate verison of Peter was turned into Carnage.
** The second version in "Symbiote Saga, Part 1" [[spoiler:bonds to Doc Ock, like what happened at the end of ''VideoGame/SpiderMan2000''. Just like the Venom Symbiote in ''ComicBook/VenomSpaceKnight'', it can take on a humanoid form without a host.]]
* OverlyLongTongue: Carnage has a long, slavering tongue just like Venom.
* PrimalStance: The first version maneuvered on all fours, emphasizing its animalistic aggression.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Carnage is red with black markings, though when the first version bonds to Peter where the red and black are inverted. The second version is identical to his original counterpart's appearance.
* SpikesOfVillainy: Can form spikes all over his body as a defense mechanism.
* SpikeShooter: After watching Spider-Man shoot web-balls, Carnage replicates the technique to fire spikes.
* SuddenlyVoiced: All the first version in "Carnage" did was screech and snarl while the second version in "The Symbiote Saga" is fully voiced... with three voice actors.
* TheSymbiote:
** The first version was created when the Goblin bonds an altered specimen of the Venom symbiote to Peter.
** [[spoiler:The second version is created by Morbius and Doc Ock from a sample taken from Agent Venom.]]
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: To Peter Parker, when the Goblin bonds a sample of the Venom symbiote.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: The original version had approximately three minutes of screen time before Harry stops Carnage to which Venom returns. A second version later makes a [[TheBusCameBack triumphant return]] with a persona closer to his comics appearance.

* EvilSoundsDeep: After becoming Swarm.

* MeaningfulName: He's a ''swarm'' of self replicating Spidey Tracers.
* RaceLift: Goes from a German named Fritz to an Asian named Michael.

[[caption-width-right:340:It's Ultimate Deadpool!]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/WillFriedle

The Merc With A Mouth.
----
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: Wade and Taskmaster underwent this In the comics, they're [=BFFs=], (VitriolicBestBuds, but still rather close allies). In this, they're a lot less friendly towards each other as the fact that Wade has no prob "unaliving" him freaks Tasky out.
* AdaptationalHeroism: Al least compared to his actual incarnation in the ComicBook/UltimateMarvel universe, who was an AxCrazy [[FantasticRacism mutant hating bigot]] that just killed even if there was no money to be made.
* AdaptationalVillainy: While Wade was no saint in the comics (especially in his original appearances), here he's pretty shameless in who he decides to help or harm as long as he gets paid in the end.
* BagOfHolding: His pouches. Among the things I have stored in there are: a parachute, bombs, a laser gun, fish sticks, and more.
* {{Bowdlerise}}: Yep, the writers had to tone down his character for the kids... but they really had you going, fooling you into thinking that a G-Rated Marvel Cartoon would actually ''tone down'' his whole sense of morality in general as much as they toned down his potty mouth.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: As per usual for Wade. He even fought Spidey in the 4-wall breaking, non-sequitor sequences!
* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: Spidey wouldn't let Wade see his identity even after they "bonded" so he decided to do a little "WMG" of his own with Barry Barrington...
* CloudCuckoolander: Well, this is Deadpool.
* ConfusionFu: Even Taskmaster can't read his moves.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Deadpool only made one major appearance. Possible reasons as to why include [[Film/Deadpool2016 the impending release of the 2016 Deadpool movie]] and the feud going on at the time between Marvel and Fox.
* DanceBattler: He beat Taskmaster while break dancing, just like in the comics.
* DeadlyEuphemism: He says he doesn't kill people, but rather "Unalives" them. See "Never Say Die" for why.
* DenserAndWackier: You read that right. They actually managed to do this to ''Deadpool'' of all people!
* TheDreaded: Taskmaster was practically horrified when Spidey mentioned Deadpool was there.
* EarlyBirdCameo: He was actually shown in a magazine cover and as a videogame character in episodes before his official appearance in the series.
* EvilAllAlong: Or at the very least, Amoral All Along. [[spoiler:He fooled Spider-Man and his team into thinking that he was a freelance hero, stole a drive containing encrypted S.H.I.E.L.D. files of various heroes secret identities, and was planning to sell it to the highest bidder before Taskmaster tried to bet him to the punch.]]
* {{Foil}}: To Spidey. They crack jokes (a lot), [[BreakingTheFourthWall talk to the audience]], and have ''very'' similar costumes. But he's a merc who's got almost '''no''' moral compass while Spidey's a superhero who follows [[ComesGreatResponsibility the hero code of responsibility]]. Heck, Peter even says that if it weren't for his aunt and uncle, he could've ended up like Wade.
* GoryDiscretionShot: When he got an ass full of arrows, and a spleen full of swords.
* GutturalGrowler: He tends to lapse into this, twice simply to mock Wolverine.
* HealingFactor: As usual, Wade has one of these, which he lampshades.
-->'''Me:''' Heh, that's gonna leave a mark. Oh wait, healing factor! Yay me!
* HehHehYouSaidX: He did this when Spidey mwntioned "Booby Traps" -- albeit at [[ComicallyMissingThePoint "TRAPS"]].
* KatanasAreJustBetter: As usual, Deadpool's primary weapons are two katanas.
* MadHatter
-->'''Spider-Man:''' Are you out of your mind?
-->'''Deadpool:''' TOTALLY!
* ManOfKryptonite: Ironically a non-powered version. As any hardcore Marvel fan would know, Taskmaster has a photographic memory so it allows him to mimic fighting styles of anyone he sees to counter them. But because Deadpool is so unpredictable, he can't replicate it.
* MindScrew: His existence in a nutshell.
* MultipleChoicePast: He gave at least three different backstories over the course of his episode.
** From [[ILoveNuclearPower playing in a kiddie pool of radioactive waste]] as a kid and being given superpowers...
** ...To [[ParentalAbandonment having his mom stolen by ninjas]] shortly after he was born. Of course, since this is [[CloudCuckoolander Deadpool]] and the summary of the rest of his "origin story"...
** [[spoiler:Eventually, the webhead grilled the closest you'll get to [[DarkAndTroubledPast his real origin]]: Apparently, Wade was once a "weird special kid" (probably because of his healing factor) with a crapsack life being treated badly and/or hurt by bad people. Nick Fury found him and trained him, having once been with Spider-Man's teammates. Over time, though he learned to 'laugh at the pain' and 'to hurt those who hurt you times a thousand'.]] The third option is made [[FridgeHorror even worse]] if you consider [[spoiler:that the term "weird and special" could be referring to a [[AmbiguousDisorder mental disorder]], rather than Wade's healing factor.]]
* NeverSayDie: Since this is a kid's show, they had Wade parody this trope, claiming it as a tic. A weird mental tic that forbade him to say the "K" word out loud, he had to stick with "unalive" and "K-Word".
* NoFourthWall: Even more so than Spidey.
* NominalHero: Big time. After all, He's...
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: As long as he's paid, he's golden.
* OnlyMostlyDead: He promised the webslinger that if he gave him the list, he'd only partially "unalive" him. It doesn't do much besides make Spidey flinch [[EvilSoundsDeep (might've had something to do with the tone)]]. Wade even offered Peter a nice chunk of change to forget that Wade's swords were swords, [[IncorruptiblePurePureness but Peter stuck to his guns]].
* PsychoForHire: Extra emphasis on the psycho... give or take.
* RememberTheNewGuy: You would have thought Spider-Man's teammates would have mentioned sooner that there had been someone in their team before Peter arrived and who eventually left.
* ShadowArchetype: Lampshaded by Spider-Man after hearing Wade's last and most plausible origin story. He claims that if matters have gone a little different, he would have ended up like Wade. This is also seen through the whole episode, regarding their similar quirks and the arguments regarding their differences.
* YouCantHandleTheParody: He tries to lay this line on Spider-Man. However, Wade being Wade and the delivery causes Spidey to deliver a hilariously deadpan 'Really?'.
* SillySimian: He dressed a bunch of monkeys in smaller outfits of his own to mess with Fury.
* YoungerAndHipper: This version of Deadpool is implied to still be a teenager. His skin is also smooth and free of the many cancer scars his comic counterpart has. He was a former member of Spider-Man's team prior to him joining, [[spoiler:and the most believable backstory I give is that he was a strange kid who was taken in and trained by Nick Fury]].

-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/ChristopherDanielBarnes

An evil Spider-Man trying to get fragments of the Siege Perilous so that he can conquer the multiverse.
----
* ActuallyNotAVampire: While he's not a normal human, he's assumed to be a vampire due to working for the Lizard-King, avoiding sunlight, possessing superhuman abilities, and wearing a cloak. He's actually an evil version of Spider-Man.
* AllEncompassingMantle: He initially wears a hooded cloak that further hides his identity.
* ArcVillain: Wolf Spider is the main villain of ''Return to The Spider-Verse'' storyline.
* AxCrazy: He reveals himself to be [[TheSociopath a murderous super villain]] who killed not only his universe's Miles Morales, but everyone who stood for heroism.
* BlackEyesOfCrazy: He has black sclera and pupil-less red irises, highlighting how evil he is.
* CanonForeigner: He doesn't exist in any comic, being created for the ''Spider-Verse'' event in the series, although he appears to be partially [[{{Expy}} based on]] Patton Parnell.
* CompositeCharacter: Being an evil, sociopathic Spider-Man with organic spider-limbs resembles that of Patton Parnell of ''ComicBook/SpiderVerse'', but killing other Spider-Men to take their life force is the gimmick of the Inheritors, particularly Morlun.
* CoolMask: To hide the fact that he's an incarnation of Peter Parker, he wears a metal mask with large, opaque red lenses.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: He has pallid skin and black hair.
* {{Expy}}: His nature as an evil counterpart to Spider-Man and his use of a (albeit organic) four-legged suit of Spider Armor establish him as one to the Comicbook/SuperiorSpiderMan, but his pale skin, BlackEyesOfCrazy, and plan to travel the multiverse and absorb the life force of various Spider-Totems make him a counterpart to [[Characters/SpiderManTheInheritors Morlun]].
** His position as an evil Peter Parker, combined with his spider legs sprouting out of his armored suit and his attempt to use a cosmic anomaly to his advantage, bring to mind [[VideoGame/SpiderManEdgeOfTime The CEO of Alchemax]]. Wolf Spider's a bit less deluded than the CEO, though, and is [[AtLeastIAdmitIt fully aware he's a villain]], while the CEO [[WellIntentionedExtremist thinks messing with the cosmos to fix his past is the right thing to do]].
** Evil Peter Parker opposing several alternate versions of himself (including his "prime" self) and is very much an OmnicidalManiac, ''plus'' is voiced by Christopher Daniel Barnes? Brings to mind Spider-Carnage from ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries''.
* TheGhost: He is mentioned in the second part of the ''Return to The Spider-Verse'' saga, but doesn't make a physical appearance.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler: Absorbing the life force of several Spiders turned out to be a big mistake, as [[GoodHurtsEvil their pureness became like poison to him]], utterly destroying his body.]]
* LifeDrinker: He tries to absorb the life force of the incarnations of Spider-Man encountered across the show's "Spider-Verse" arcs, using the Web of Life and Siege Perilous as a conduit.
* LiterallyShatteredLives: After the Spider-Totems start fighting from within, he overloads and shatters.
* MeaningfulName: Wolf Spiders eat other spiders, making his name very fitting.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: He leaves a swath of destruction in his wake while "fleeing" from the Web Warriors.
* SpiderLimbs: He has four spider-legs hidden under his cloak.
* SuperMode: After absorbing the life force of multiple Spiders, his irises turn purple, he bulks up significantly, and gains the ability to fire [[KameHameHadoken purple energy blasts]].
* SupervillainLair: He set up shop in the show's version of the Ultimate Universe, in a suitably creepy underwater cave.
* TheWorfEffect: In the first part of the ''Return to The Spider-Verse'' saga, he takes on three other incarnations of Spider-Man and handily holds his own. In the second part, he's mentioned to have been run out of town by Doc Ock Holliday and the Phantom Rider. And in the third part, he is easily repelled by Mr. Negative.

* BadassMoustache: Averted; if anything, his mustache just looks absolutely ridiculous.

%%* BadassBeard
%%* BadassMustache: Lampshaded by Spider-Man.

* AdmiringTheAbomination: At first, Doc Ock's ploy to enlist the help of the Ultimate Green Goblin was because he was the only Goblin to have killed any version of Spider-Man. Once the Goblin sees that Hydra (via Baron Mordo) is trying to turn the Goblin into a puppet, the Goblin is declared uncontrollable, making him NotSoDifferent in Doc Ock's eyes, saying "a monster by [his] own heart". Despite the fact that the Goblin nearly destroyed his reality and tossed him around like a ragdoll, Doc Ock acknowledges in the sewers that neither of them particularly favor Hydra's thinking, and claims he merely wanted an ally to help eliminate Spider-Man; the Goblin [[VillainTeamUp subsequently agrees to join at least Doc Ock, if not Hydra]].

-->'''Dr. Octopus:''' [[NotSoDifferent Nor I]]. It is Hydra who wanted to be your master. Otto Octavius only needs [[AnOfferYouCantRefuse an ally...one who despises Spider-Man as much as I]].

* NotSoDifferent: In the GrandFinale, it becomes evident that he and Spider-Man aren't so different; they've been bullied their lives, always criticized by others, and do whatever it takes to gain others' respect. [[spoiler:In the end, Doc Ock realizes that he and Spidey are more similar than they realize, leading him to stand down and turn himself in]].

* NotSoDifferent: He's a ShadowArchetype to Peter/Spider-Man, of all people. Both are [[spoiler:unpopular smart kids from the same school who got mutated by Oscorp Mutagen (though Spidey got luckier); both got bullied by Flash]]; And Rhino even admitted that he wanted to be like Spider-Man, hence why he started drinking the mutagen. The difference is that [[spoiler:Peter went on to use his powers as a hero and tried to help Flash be a better person, while Alex took the path of revenge and raised his hatred of Flash to creepily psychotic levels.]]

* AdaptationalWimp: Nowhere nearly as powerful as his comic counterpart.

** [[spoiler: Morbius forces a GrandTheftMe via Carnage symbiote on Doc Ock; the very notion of Doctor Octopus merged with a symbiote brings memories of ''VideoGame/SpiderMan'' (Monster-Ock with Carnage) as well as ''VideoGame/SpiderManEdgeOfTime'' (Atrocity with Anti-Venom).]]

** The second version in "Symbiote Saga, Part 1" [[spoiler:bonds to Doc Ock, like what happened at the end of ''VideoGame/SpiderMan''. Just like the Venom Symbiote in ''ComicBook/VenomSpaceKnight'', it can take on a humanoid form without a host.]]

** Possibly unintentional, but he bares an uncanny resemblence to [[Series/KamenRiderBlade Kamen Rider Garren]].

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DanteBasco

* AdaptationOriginConnection: To Iron Fist; in the comic, the two have nothing to do with each others, while here they were spirit brothers in this series.

* CompositeCharacter: He has many similarities towards the Iron Fist villain Davos than the Scorpion of the comics. He is also a hook weapon user like [[ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan Maximus Gargan]].

** At the beginning of "Agent Venom" he's been taken over by the Venom symbiote.

* RaceLift: This version is Asian instead of white or Mexican (like the second Ultimate Scorpion)
* {{Revenge}}: Scorpion is exiled from K'un-L'un and seeks vengeance against Spider-Man and Iron Fist, clad in powered armor resembling his comic-book appearance.

A version of the Goblin from Miles Morales' world.

** He was able to take down the prime Green Goblin with ease.

* TruerToTheText: Wings aside, this version of the Goblin is closer to the Green Goblin of the ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan'' comics than the show's main version, including similar horns, his skin being a darker green, being pyrokinetic, and leaping around as his primary means of travel.

* BigBadWannabe: [[spoiler:He pretty much thinks of himself as the BigBad of Ultimate Spider-Man vs the Sinister 6 with Ock as his lackey only for Ock to be the BigBad and betrayed Zola. Ock later gloats to Zola's projected face about retrieving the "proper" nanotech research he had originally intended to use, which was held back and twisted by Zola for some reason.]]

* VillainTeamUp: Allies himself for a relatively brief time with Doc Ock [[spoiler: until Ock betrays Zola by taking over HYDRA Island]]. However, ''Spider-Slayers'' indicates that Doc Ock worked for him long before Season 4 began.

* AdaptedOut: [[spoiler:Eddie is nowhere to be seen as the Venom symbiote's host.]]

* TheDragon: Harry-Venom was briefly this to the Green Goblin.

* IAmAHumanitarian: The Venom symbiote's first words upon bonding to Spider-Man were "'''Friends... yummy!'''" and later tried to take a bite out of Iron Fist.

** Subverted for the first time in a long time. The justification is that Venom takes complete control of its host.

** Played around with in the episode "Carnage". [[spoiler: The first thing Venom says when he bonded with Harry again is: "We are Venom." Venom then switches between using 'I' and 'we' depending on whether it's Harry talking or Venom.]]

* NotQuiteDead: The Venom symbiote is seemingly KilledOffForReal in its debut episode; then it turns out that Osborn wants Dr. Octopus to create more like it, and Harry finds a sampl that survived. Harry appears in "Back in Black" with control of Venom. It lasted only a little while before Venom took control and was believed to be destroyed for good by Spidey... only to show later that some of Venom survived in Harry's ear, returning in "Venomous" and "Rise of the Goblin". [[spoiler: It is seemingly KilledOffForReal again in "Venom Bomb" when Peter uses the Iron Spider armor to incinerate the organism. Subverted with a mass-produced Venom symbiote created by Doc Ock for Loki to which remnants bonded to Scorpion and Flash.]]

* SignificantDoubleCasting: Venom has the same actor as whoever is its host during an episode.

** [[spoiler:At the end of the episode "The Vulture", he gets the Vulture on his side by revealing he knows the youth's name Adrian Toomes.]]

* AbledInTheAdaptation: Before he became a vampire in the comics, Morbius was ill and his vampirism came from his attempts to cure himself. He isn't sick here.
* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: He has wings which he never had in most other versions, where he instead flies on his own.

* BatOutOfHell: Doctor Octopus injects him with a vampire bat formula, causing him to become a humanoid bat. The next episode has him looking less gruesome.
* TheDogBitesBack: When he first appeared, he was Doc Ock's underappreciated lab assistant. When he returns, he takes great pleasure in the captive Ock being forced to be ''his'' assistant.
* MythologyGag: Following his transformation, Flash calls him a "living vampire."

* TookALevelInBadass: In his first appearance, he was just Ock's assistant. In his second appearance, he attacks Spider-Man and Venom himself using PoweredArmor. Spidey himself even lampshades this.

* DragonAscendant: When Zola and HYDRA Island are absent, Crossbones takes this role; he's the one in charge of monitoring Ock and Morbius's activities... though he's not particularly good at enforcing his leadership. Then Ock hijacks him and turns him into the Lizard.
* GreaterScopeVillain: For the "Symbiote Saga" arc, since he's the one backing Morbius's experiments and didn't appear at all except for a conference call.

* AbusiveParents: Zigzagged. Norman starts off as the neglectful but caring type to Harry Osborn. Then he finds out that his son is the Venom symbiote's host and is more willing to take advantage of that fact. But when Doc Ock goes after both him and his son, Norman shows concern for his son. As the Green Goblin, he not only does he [[spoiler: shock his own son into being Venom again, he leaves Harry to drown when Harry rejects the Venom symbiote. Later, Goblin drops Harry from a great height. But as a human again, he's a more concerned loving father this time. But as the Goblin once again, Harry's on the list of people he plans on visiting and harming when he learns of Spider-Man's secret identity just because Spider-Man cares for Harry.]]

* CompositeCharacter: Possibly; he has the same name as Rhino in the comics, but his personality and motivation make him closer to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Weiderman Charlie Weiderman]], one of the Molten Men. He also looks strangely similar to the version of Seymour O'Reilly from ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan,'' though that also may be a coincidence.

* ChronicVillainy: After being cured at the end of "Venom Bomb", he genuinely tries to atone for his act by being a better father to Harry and being a super-hero as Iron Patriot... only to have Doc Ock kidnap him a few episodes later and turn him back into the Goblin. [[spoiler: He's once again cured at the end of "Spider-Verse", and it's implied the Goblin may be gone for good. He made himself immune to Goblin serum, but that doesn't mean ''someone else'' can't be the Goblin]].
* CompositeCharacter:

* CorruptCorporateExecutive: He's Oscorp's CEO, but is interested in creating an army of Spider-Mercinaries. [[spoiler:He's stopped doing that ever since]].

* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler: Osborn gets away scot-free with his schemes at season 1's end]].

** The Goblin's treatment of Harry consists of this. Two major moments in particular are [[spoiler: abandoning his son to drown in "Rise of the Goblin" because Harry rejected the Venom symbiote and telling Harry how proud he is of his son in "Carnage" only to drop Harry to certain doom right after.]]

* TheNotLoveInterest: With MJ demoted to childhood friend, Harry appears to be (unintentionally) upgraded to this trope. [[TheMasqueradeWillKillYourDatingLife Peter's constant ditching and inability to tell Harry truth puts a massive strain on their friendship.]] Besides that, the spat the two have in "Venom" comes off as a girlfriend leaving her boyfriend only for the two to make up later on and get back together. Complete with a female friend helping out the hapless "boyfriend" and the "girlfriend" venting about the relationship to family.

* TooDumbToLive: He ''really'' [[spoiler:Should've kept his mouth shut while he was hiding in Spidey's communicator watch. It would've saved him from being thrown into the ocean while the heroes were flying over it]].
