Fanfic / Spiders and Magic: Rise of Spider-Mane

Spiders and Magic: Rise of Spider-Mane (also read here) is a Spider-Man/My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic crossover fanfic by Maximus_Reborn. Trouble is brewing, and Spider-Man is summoned to save the day! However, he takes the form of a pony upon his arrival and slowly starts to lose his powers. Now as Peter Pony Parker, he must become Equestria's new hero as the Amazing Spider-Mane, but with past failures haunting his mind, will somepony be able to give him the happiness he deserves and save him from a prophecy that ends with his death?

Across Equestria and through Earth, two hearts will join together, but one may die to ensure the other's survival...

The first story is now complete!

The sequel, Spiders and Magic II: Eleven Months, has also been completed. It focuses on Peter and Twilight dealing with the latter's pregnancy, and it presents a more Slice of Life style than its predecessor.

The third installment, Spiders and Magic III: Days of Friendship Past, is now out. Try and guess what the main inspiration for this story is.

The fourth and final installment, Spiders and Magic IV: The Fall of Spider-Mane, is currently out and is also complete, marking the end of the series. It takes inspiration from Batman: Arkham Knight, although it's currently being reworked on fimfiction due to constructive criticism getting the author's attention.

Tropes:

• Action Girl: Twilight shows more traits of this in the Marvel Universe.
  • The Mane 6 in general.
  • Princess Luna also gets a chance to show her power.
  • Every member of the Equestrian Avengers (with the exception of Peter).
• Adaptational Jerkass: Twilight's Control Freak tendencies lead to her being more than a little controlling of Peter, which may make her slightly unsympathetic in that regard.
• Adaptational Villainy: This story's portrayal of Venom lacks the moral complexity of his comic book incarnation.
• After Action Patch Up: Twilight does this for Peter after his final fight with Sombra, scolding him the entire time.
• Alcohol Hic: Twilight and Cadance in Chapter 42.
• Alien Among Us: Being a human in the guise of a pony, Spidey gets to learn a lot from Equestria and its society.
• Alliterative Name: Prince Peter Pony Parker.
• All-Loving Hero: Spidey. And everypony loves him, too.
• Alternate Continuity: The Spider-Man of this fanfic seems to have elements from both the mainstream Marvel universe, and the Ultimate universe, as well as some elements from the films and video games. It is also an alternate continuation of MLP Season 3, since it takes place after Sombra's first defeat in the Crystal Empire.
  • And an offhand comment in Chapter 53, reveals that even Marvel vs. Capcom has already taken place in this continuity.
  • Turns out, this story's Marvel Universe is numbered 672, though it's apparently a close neighbor to 616.
• Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: Twilight's mother, Velvet, shows signs of this in Chapter 35.
  • Between Mayday's parents, Peter can be a touch TOO loving.
• Amazon Brigade: The Equestrian Avengers team that Peter forms, save for himself, is made up entirely of girls: Eris, Sonata Dusk, Queen Umbra, Dragon Lord Ember, Trixie, Mayday, and Laura Kinney.

• Animorphism: Of the involuntary type.
  Peter: Oh, my God! I turned into Seabiscuit! I look more ridiculous than Spider-Ham!
• Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better: Rainbow Dash, while trying to prove herself as a better hero than Spider-Mane in Chapter 4. Or so she believes...
• Ascended Fangirl: Twilight Velvet is a big fan of Spider-Mane. And now her daughter is his marefriend. Oh my.
• Asleep for Days: Peter, after the accident in the Manehattan race.
• Attention Whore: Blueblood, to the point where a lack of it, even from his own family, causes to throw his lot in with Discord.
• Badass Bookworm: Twilight Sparkle, particularly after defeating the Hulk.
  • And Peter, of course.
• Badass Family: The Parker Sparkle family. Peter (Spider-Man), Twilight (Amethyst Sorceress and Princess of Friendship), and Mayday (a member of the Equestrian Avengers).
• Barehanded Blade Block: Peter does this during his fight with King Sombra.
• Battle Couple: Peter and Twilight, after entering into the Marvel Universe.
• Being Evil Sucks: Sonata. Out of every member of the Sinister Six, Sonata was too friendly to blend in. She even became friends with Peter, the guy they were meant to KILL. This eventually led to her Heel–Face Turn.

• Big Bad: Discord initially seems like this, but in fact the true big bad is Norman Osborn.
  • Dragon Ascendant: Who Stole Discord's powers to take over.
  • The Starscream: Against his will.
  • Glacius, a massive ice golem, is the closest thing there is to this in Eleven Months.
  • Future Queen Chrysalis is this for Days of Friendship Past.
  • The new Sinister Six, Tirek, Green Goblin, Electro, the Dazzlings, and Carnage, plus Venom and Starlight Glimmer, are this for The Fall of Spider-Mane.
  • Starlight Glimmer for Equestrian Avengers: Shattered Dimensions.
  • Big Bad Duumvirate: Initially was shaping up to be this, until Norman proved himself Eviler than Thou.
• Big Brother Instinct: Shining Armor and his initial hostility towards Peter.
• Big Brother Mentor: Peter for the Cutie Mark Crusaders.
• Big "NO!": Twilight's reaction when she realizes that Peter is dead.
• Bittersweet Ending: Norman Osborn is defeated, both worlds are saved and Spider-Man finally earns universal acceptance on Earth, and Peter leaves to live in Equestria with (now-pregnant) Twilight. However, Peter's alien origin is revealed to the Equestrians who now in turn treat him with fear and distrust, and other villains are already gathering to plot against Spider-Mane and Elements of Harmony.
  • Subverted, partially. Even when the truth of his origins comes out, no one treats or thinks of Peter differently.
• Blinded by the Light: When Spider-Mane uses miniature crystal hearts to blind King Sombra.
• Brainwashed: The Hulk, in Chapter 44.
• Brainwashed and Crazy: Sunset Shimmer.
• Butt-Monkey: Lyra, in her everlasting quest to prove Peter a human.
• Can't Hold His Liquor: Twilight and Peter, both.
• Car Fu: Used by Princess Luna while being controlled by Venom's Symbiote.
• Cassandra Truth: Lyra, as per fanon, is obsessed with humans. She saw Peter in his human form on the first day, but nobody believes that he's a human. Still applies even AFTER Spidey becomes a pony.
• Character Development: Peter, particularly. While he is still prone to moments of self loathing and doubt, he has come a long way from the Broken Hero that we are all familiar with.
• The Chew Toy: Peter. Constantly curses his "Parker Luck" for every insane shenanigan he suffers.
• The Chosen One: Spider-Man is the focus of a very ominous prophecy and Discord needs him to die at a specific time for his plan to work.
• Cliffhanger: There's a LOT of these in the story.
• Comes Great Responsibility: Inevitable, as the Trope Namer himself is the protagonist.

• The Comically Serious: Luna, generally.
  • Funnily enough, Doctor Strange is not this. He's actually quite the snark master, and a bit of a flirt.
• Composite Character:
  • After absorbing Discord's magic, the Green Goblin takes on the form of his Ultimate Spider-Man incarnation.
  • Twilight takes the roles of Second Love after the death of Gwen Stacy and mother of Peter's daughter May from Mary Jane.
• Cool Sword: The Equestrian Saber, also known as Celsius.
• Crush Blush: They happen quite often, and they're usually of the bright variety.

• Curb-Stomp Battle: Twilight delivers one to Venom-Luna in Chapter 55.
  • Everyone is expecting, and looking forward to, Peter delivering one to Blueblood after the later challenges him to a duel. Unfortunately Blueblood Took a Level in Badass by bonding to the Venom symbiote.
  • Chapter 59 has Peter delivering one to Osborn.
  • During Fall of Spider-Mane, Patricia and Peter are beaten nearly to death by Morlun. However, it goes much worse for Peter, as his own eye is ripped out AND eaten during the fight.
  • During the battle with Tirek, Peter while possessed by Nightmare, absolutely annihilates him.
• Cuteness Proximity: Peter suffers it. Oh, does Peter suffer it. And he feels the blow to his masculinity each time.
• Dark Action Girl: Sunset Shimmer.

• Darker and Edgier: Obviously, when compared with MLP: FIM, especially since it incorporates some elements from the Ultimate Marvel universe (which loves this trope). For the most part, however, it's a pretty light story.
• Deadpan Snarker: It's Spider-Man. He's obviously here.
• Death Glare: Blueblood is given one by most of the Mane 6 in Chapter 40, after he insults Peter.
  • Played for Laughs. Twilight gives Peter one whenever she gets annoyed by some of his references.
• Death by Adaptation: Venom, Carnage, Green Goblin, Adagio Dazzle, Aria Blaze, Tirek, and Princess Celestia all bite it.
• Death Seeker: King Sombra, as of Chapter 51.
• Defeat Means Friendship: Queen Umbra after Peter defeats her. Really, out of all of the Avengers, Peter seems to be the only one Umbra likes.
  • Hinted at with Glacius and Peter near the beginning of Part IV. After Peter beats him and leaves him food for his hibernation, Glacius simply accepts the food with a mild 'thank you' chest bump.
• Defeat Means Respect: Sombra, after being defeated twice by Peter.
  • Ironically, Queen Umbra, a female version of King Sombra from Patricia Parker's Equestria, is bested by Peter. Afterwards, she gives her respect and joins his Avengers.
• Defrosting Ice Queen: There is a non romantic example, with Peter trying to win Princess Luna's trust, and even teaching her to loosen up a little in the process. The non romantic part starts to get a little iffy after he succeeds, especially in Chapter 35.
  • Also, Trixie.
  • In the aftermath of Fall of Spider-Mane, Queen Umbra is already showing signs of this trope.
• Demoted to Extra: Mostly everyone outside the main and extended Parker-Sparkle family by the time of the fourth story.
  • Honestly, the only characters that remained in the forefront of the entire Spiders and Magic series from start to finish are Peter Peter, Twilight Sparkle, Trixie, and Princess Luna.
• Determinator: Spider-Man, obviously. When the ponies start to learn more about his past and his reputation back in New York City, they can't help but admire his willingness to keep fighting for people that distrust him or outright hate him.
  • Also, Rainbow Dash, when trying to prove that she's a better hero than Pete, and going as far as to enter into a dragon's lair as a "Test of Bravery."
  • And Lyra, and her obsession with proving that Spider-Mane is a human.
• Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Happens a few times:
  • In Chapter 4, when Peter knocks out a dragon with one kick.
  • His fight against King Sombra in Chapter 30.
  • Also, defeating the two ruling princesses of Equestria causes this reaction on the ponies.

• The Dragon: Sunset Shimmer seems to be this to Norman Osborn.
• The Dreaded: Morlun, and rightfully so.
• Dreaming of Things to Come: Twilight's premonitions of the upcoming battle with Osborn.
• Embarrassing Nickname: Peter likes to call Rainbow after a certain candy...
  • While Pinkie likes to call him Peter Pony Parker.
• Eternal Love: Due to Luna's spell which resuscitates Peter, he will now be immortal and have this with Twilight.
• "Eureka!" Moment: When Lyra deduces that Peter Parker and Spider Mane are one in the same.
• Even Evil Has Standards: Discord seemed to be quite disturbed after hearing that the Green Goblin wouldn't think twice about blowing up innocent bystanders.
  Discord: I enjoy the fun type of chaos. That's just... Demented.
  • This is actually Discord's stance with the Sinister Six (with the exception of the Dazzlings, who have suffered the most because of Celestia)and only tolerates the others because they're necessary tools.
• Evil Makes You Monstrous: Norman Osborn, after absorbing Discord's chaotic powers, achieves a form similar to the Ultimate Green Goblin.
  • Blueblood once he absorbs the Venom symbiote.

• Facepalm: Twilight's occasional reaction towards Peter's comments.
• Failure-to-Save Murder: Averted: Osborn reveals that Gwen was already dead by his own hand before Peter got involved. Probably not the wisest move on his part.
• Fainting: During Chapter 38, after watching the memory where Osborn gets impaled by his own glider, Fluttershy makes use of this trope.
  • Also, a more comical example turns up in Chapter 46, when Peter gets a large amount of money from Tony Stark.
• Fantastic Arousal: Pegasus ponies and the wingboner effect. Alicorns get it too.
• Fighting from the Inside: Luna, trying to fight off the Symbiote's influence.
• Fighting Your Friend: Occasionally, Peter will spar with Rainbow Dash. There's also the time he has a duel with Princess Celestia and Luna.
• Fire-Forged Friends: Peter and Shining Armor become this after their battle against Sombra.
• First Girl Wins: Twilight is the first pony that Peter meets upon his arrival to Equestria. You can guess how things go from there...

• From Nobody to Nightmare: Blueblood after he receives the Venom symbiote from Discord.
• Giant Space Flea from Nowhere: Morlun, who doubles as an Unexpected Character who has little bearing on the plot besides reawakening Nightmare Moon.
• Genocide Backfire: Celestia used a spell to prevent the Sirens from feeding, leaving them to starve to death. As Sirens, the Dazzlings are understandably 'not' okay with this, but Adagio takes it further than Sonata or Aria by actively fighting Celestia.
  • Peter prevents this from happening with the changelings after returning from the future.
• Glowing Eyes of Doom: Twilight's condition when she is conjuring up a spell to stop a brainwashed Hulk.
• A God Am I: Norman Osborn, after his transformation.
• Good Parents: Peter and Twilight. Both are shown to be very protective and loving towards all three of their children.
• Green-Eyed Monster: Blueblood is quite jealous of the attention Peter receives from mares, namely the Mane 6.
• Groin Attack: In Chapter 59 of Part I, and delivered by Peter, of all people to the Green Goblin.
  • Called back during Part IV by Peter (once again) to Carnage.
• Guilt Complex: Peter, and, as always, taking it to ludicrous levels.
• Hannibal Lecture: Sombra delivers one to Peter while trying to brainwash him.
• Happily Married: Peter and Twilight. Despite the occasional drama surrounding them, these two remain intact and have three children together over the course of twenty-five years.
• Hard-Drinking Party Girl: Cadance is one, apparently.
• Harmless Villain: Peter doesn't see Discord as actually evil, but more as an annoying jerk, especially when comparing him to some members of his Rogues Gallery.
• Heartbroken Badass
• Heel–Face Turn: Trixie goes from a petty thief with a grudge to Peter's best friend.

• Heel Realization: J. Jonah Jameson has an extended one during the four year period after Spider-Man's "death," taken to the next level when Osborn's broadcasting of the final battle reveals Spider-Man's identity — a kid who suffered Jameson's abuse his whole career, even accepting a pittance of a salary for defaming his own alter-ego, yet kept fighting the good fight.

• Heroic BSoD: Twilight is reduced to tears when she read the prophecy that says Peter would die.
  • Princess Luna, upon realizing that she had killed Peter under the influence of the Symbiote.
• Heroic Self-Deprecation: While this is nothing new for Peter, sometimes during the story, he seems to take it even further than in the comics.

• Hidden Heart of Gold: Trixie believes that no one will accept her for who she really is, and thus decides to put on a mask.
• Hijacked by Ganon: Discord was vaguely set up as the Big Bad, only for Norman Osborn to lock him up, steal his powers and absorb them, making him the main antagonist for the remainder of the story. Discord however pulls a reverse by showing he meant to do that.
• How Dare You Die on Me!: Peter, who finally succumbs to the prophecy of his death in Chapter 54.
• How Do I Shot Web?: Peter, while trying to learn unicorn magic. He even quotes it.

• I'm Having Soul Pains: From the battle in the Helicarrier, to the battle with Sunset Shimmer, the ponies who have developed a close relationship with Peter, start feeling pain whenever he's close to die.

• I Want Grandkids: Used as a joke by Twilight's mom, Velvet.
• If I Can't Have You…: Luna in Chapter 53. It's mostly due to the Symbiote fueling her jealousy, though.

• If You Kill Him, You Will Be Just Like Him!: Twilight tells this to Peter, when he's about to kill Norman Osborn.
• Implausible Fencing Powers: Apparently, Celestia has a sword of her own, and is ridiculously proficient with it.
  • To be fair, she uses magic to wield it and fight with it.
• Inconvenient Summons: Spidey is brought to Equestria via one of this.
• Insecure Love Interest: Peter, especially after Twilight becomes an alicorn princess. Naturally, she frequently has to reassure / snap him out of it.
• Interspecies Romance: Played with, as Spidey becomes a pony. Understandably, he still freaks out over it, especially after he hooks up with Twilight.
• Irony: Peter starts out hated by much of humanity, but becomes beloved by Equestria. By the end of the story, his battle with Green Goblin has made him a hero on Earth... But it revealed his true origins to Equestria, much of which now fear and distrust him.
• Insanity Immunity: Deadpool's rat's nest of a mind prevents him from being mind controlled.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Trixie, as shown when she starts to open up to others.

• Jerkass Cannot Comprehend Altruism: J. Jonah Jameson until the below mentioned Heel Realization.
• Journey to the Center of the Mind: Subverted. They don't actually get inside of his head, but rather, they just take a look at his memories.

• Karma Houdini Warranty: For those who felt that Babs Seed got off scot-free, there's Chapter 48.
• Kill It with Fire: How Twilight deals with Venom's Symbiote.
• Killed Off for Real: Doctor Octopus, as stated in Chapter 45.
  • As of Chapter 51, you can add King Sombra to that list.
  • Future Dinky, Applejack, Trixie, and Chrysalis inDays of Friendship Past.
  • Aria, Adagio, Green Goblin, Carnage, Tirek, and Princess Celestia in The Fall of Spider-Mane.
• Knighting: Peter Pony Parker, personal knight of Princess Twilight Sparkle.
• Lady and Knight: Twilight and Peter.
• Last of His Kind: The Sirens, as it turns out. Celestia killed the others over a thousand years ago.
• Legacy Character: Blueblood becomes one when he bonds to the Venom symbiote.
  • Trixie becomes one when she takes up the mantle of The Great and Powerful Mysterio. Electro, who knew the original, is not amused or impressed.
  • Laura Kinney becomes the All-New Wolverine as homage to Logan.
• Leotard of Power: Part of Twilight's costume after her trip to Earth with Peter and Spike.
• Le Parkour: Since the buildings in Ponyville tend to be only two stories high, this is Spider-Mane's main form to move around.
• Let's Get Dangerous!: While Equestria citizens admire Spider-Mane, they won't become aware of his full power until his seemingly hopeless duel with the Princesses of the moon and the sun. Hopeless, indeed.

• Lighter and Softer: Most definitely, when compared with the comics.
  • Also, the Sugar Bowl land of Equestria is a very nice change of setting, according to Peter. This comes as no surprise, considering how his home world tends to be.
• Lighthearted Rematch: In Chapter 41, between Peter and Spitfire.

• Magical Land: Equestria, and everything that goes with it.

• Mana Drain: Who else but Tirek?
• Mental Picture Projector: Used by the ponies to look into Spidey's memories.
• Mindless Mare Magnet: Just like in the comics, Peter gets (almost) ALL the mares.
  • To elaborate, he has his main relationship with Twilight, but every single one of the Mane 6 (except Pinkie Pie) are attracted to him, and Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo even have precocious crushes on him. And that's just from the main cast. Princess Luna finds a lot of common ground with him, Trixie treasures his friendship as her first friend, Derpy fangirls over him and even Spitfire likes him. The author has downplayed this with recent edits, however.
• Modest Royalty: Princess Twilight and Prince Peter.
• My God, What Have I Done?: Princess Luna. See Heroic BSoD, above.
• Never My Fault: Discord has this in spades, though amusingly most of the things that go wrong with his plan he had no hand in or knowledge of.
  • Inverted with Peter. His friends frequently prevent him from taking on guilt for anything.
• No Kill like Overkill: Chapter 54 gives us Venom-Luna delivering one to Wolverine. This being Logan we're talking about, it doesn't stick.
• No-Sell: Deadpool's rat's nest of a brain prevents him from being mind controlled by Osborn, although he's still susceptible to more monetary forms of manipulation.
• Not a Morning Person: Peter, much to Twilight's annoyance.
• Not Quite Dead: King Sombra.
• Not So Stoic: Trixie, and much to her embarrassment, most of the time.
  • Luna is feeling the effects of this, as well.
• Not What It Looks Like: In Chapter 12 when Rarity and Applejack find Peter pinned to the ground in the royal garden, and hugged tightly by Fluttershy. Turns out that she was only frightened by Princess Luna's appearance.
  • Peter and Trixie in Part IV. Trixie transforms into a pony suddenly after they came to Earth. Peter finds her naked, of course, and being a good-hearted Samaritan, decided to help her up, seeing that she can't even stand upright. So naturally, everyone finds the two in an embarrassing position.
• An Odd Place to Sleep: Twilight mentions that she once found Peter sleeping on the ceiling of her house...
  • ...And that Pinkie Pie had managed to duct tape herself to the ceiling, next to him.
• Official Couple: Spider-Mane and Twilight.
• One Head Taller: Peter and Twilight while on human form.
• One-Hit Kill: During his royal duel with Luna, Peter, accidentally delivers one to her forehead (it only knocks her out, though).
• The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: Norman Osborn.
• "Open!" Says Me: Done twice by Peter, and both times they were done in order to reach King Sombra.
  • Extra points for the doors being made of stone.
• Overshadowed by Awesome: Blueblood feels that he is this in comparison to Peter and, frankly, he's right.
  • Actually, just about everyone outside of Luna, Twilight and Trixie is this to Peter.
• Pair the Smart Ones: Peter and Twilight. The nerd and the dork, the chemist and the bookworm, etc.
• Pet the Dog: Discord comforts Adagio after the two discover that Aria committed suicide.
• Power at a Price: Blueblood receives the Venom symbiote from Discord in exchange for his horn and, therefore, his ability to do magic. Considering how weak Blueblood was before, it was more than a fair trade.
• Precocious Crush: Sweetie Bell develops one towards Peter.
  • She still has it in the alternate future, culminating in her and Peter having sex.
• Prophecy Twist: The prophecy states that Peter will die at the hands of a closely trusted ally. The prophecy says nothing about that ally being consciously in control of her own actions, nor does it state that the ally can't use magic to bring him back to life.
• Psycho for Hire: Deadpool, as well as his Rule 63 counterpart.
• Psychosomatic Superpower Outage: Peter starts losing his powers after getting to Equestria, due to him not having a Cutie Mark.
• Punched Across the Room: Since Peter is much physically stronger than most in the story, this happens frequently.
• Rage Against the Mentor: Sunset Shimmer's memories of her trial in Chapter 53, and how she lashed out at Celestia. She appears to be remorseful, however.
• Rags to Royalty: When Peter is made into a knight, he also receives the title of prince.
• Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs: Used by Spidey to break Celestia's glaive during their fight.

• Rejected Apology: Celestia tries to do right and extend an olive branch to the Dazzlings, but considering the reason that she is apologizing is for committing genocide against their race, they do not accept it.
• Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Twilight in chapter 55.
  • Adagio has been waging a subdued, but no less rage driven one against Celestia for the genocide against her kind.
• Sadistic Choice: Peter gets one in Chapter 51: Either break his Thou Shalt Not Kill pledge to end Sombra's life (which is what he wants), or seal him away again, and risk him coming back to harm his loved ones. Peter ultimately decides on the former.
• Second Love: Twilight, especially since Word of God states that she serves as the Mary-Jane of this story (except that Twilight is more capable of defending herself). Funnily enough, Applejack, who has had the least Ship Tease with Spidey (aside from Pinkie Pie), reminds him of Gwen.
• Secret Test of Character: The reason behind Spidey's duels with Celestia and Luna.

• Shipper on Deck: Applejack and Cadence for Peter and Twilight.

• Shout-Out: Peter does this quite a few times, much to the confusion (and in Twilight's case, annoyance) of Equestria's denizens, since they can't get any of the references. True to his usual style, he continues LONG after Twilight voices her displeasure... Or because of it.
  • Chapter 42, when Peter tries to think of a superhero name for Twilight, he suggests... Equestria Girl.
  • Chapter 43 ends with the intro Marvel Ultimate Alliance without Spider-Man.
  • Peter's second and final battle with Sombra (spanning Chapters 50 and 51) is almost beat-for-beat the same battle Samurai Jack has with the cursed Viking warrior.
• Shut Up, Hannibal!: Peter gives one to King Sombra in Chapter 50.

• Sickeningly Sweethearts: Spike accuses Peter and Twilight of being this, whenever they make out in front of him.
• Sleep Cute: Peter, is guilty of it, according to Twilight.
• Something Else Also Rises: Poor, poor Fluttershy.
  • As of Chapter 34, Twilight joins in, even lampshading that she understands how Fluttershy feels.
• Spit Take: Peter makes use of this trope in Chapter 35, due to a comment from Twilight's mother.
• Stalker with a Crush: Lady Deadpool to Peter, despite never having met.
• Summon Everyman Hero: Twilight summons Peter to Equestria in order to save Ponyville from a rampaging dragon.
• Superpowered Evil Side: Nightmare Moon, first to Luna and then to Peter.

• Talented Princess, Regular Guy: This is how Peter feels about his relationship with Twilight during Chapter 31.
• Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: The second Sinister Six, who are united only in their hatred of Spider-Man and their fear of Discord and Tirek. And even that's barely holding them together as the team consists of Venom and Carnage, Sonata defected, Aria kills herself and, recently. Adagio and Starlight have gone AWOL.
• Throwing Down the Gauntlet: Blublood invokes an ancient law, challenging Peter to a duel at the end of the Equestria Games where the loser is stripped of their titles. This also when Blueblood reveals that he is the new Venom.
• Too Much Information: Twilight's reaction in Chapter 48, after Peter tells her what hot dogs are made of.
• Took a Level in Badass: In Chapter 43, Spike gets turned into an older, taller, and stronger version of himself, but while still retaining his child persona.
• Tranquil Fury: Read Roaring Rampage of Revenge, above.
• Trapped in Another World: It seems that Spider-Man's summoning was a one-way trip only.
• Tsundere: Trixie is quite fond of this.
  • Also, Princess Luna and Rainbow Dash to a lesser extent.
• Unknown Rival: Blueblood to Peter, who can't even bother to remember him, despite meeting multiple times and being relatives for nearly a decade.
• Unstoppable Rage: Peter in Chapter 59, after the Goblin shows him the memory of when Gwen was killed.
• Weak, but Skilled: The cast's assessment of Spidey when he's going against Spitfire. Spitfire is naturally faster, but Peter has his Spider Sense and the acrobatic agility to go full speed at all times while she has to slow down. At all OTHER times though, this does not take.
• Well-Intentioned Extremist: Discord paints himself as being this, trying to instill chaos against Celestia and Luna's crusade of order.
• What Is This Thing You Call "Love"?: At first, Twilight seems to be unable to understand her feelings for Peter, due to her social awkwardness.
  • Princess Luna seems to be a good example of this, too.
• What the Hell, Hero?: Twilight lecturing Peter, while she's tending his injuries from his last battle with Sombra.
• Won the War, Lost the Peace: Yeah, Peter finally brought down the Green Goblin... But now he's arrived in Equestria, and will unite with other villains to takeover Equestria. And his true nature as a human being has tarnished his good name in Equestria.
• Wrestler in All of Us: Black Cat gives Venom-Luna a spinning DDT in Chapter 54.
• Year Inside, Hour Outside: Peter learns, in Chapter 43, that after spending three months in Equestria, four years have gone by on Earth.
  • Exploited by Eris later on, so that Peter, Twilight and the others can get in three months of training while only a week passes in Equestria, though they travel to an Earth much like our own rather than Peter's since Discord would look there for them.
• You Are Better Than You Think You Are: The ponies often remind Peter of this, when he's in one of his Heroic Self-Deprecation moments.
  • Peter himself has also been using this in recent times, prompting a number of Heel-Face Turns.
• You're Cute When You're Angry: Peter's comment to Twilight in Chapter 48.
• You Can't Fight Fate: During a conversation between Celestia and Madame Web, the former states that Peter's arrival in Equestria has only altered his prophecy, but it hasn't stopped it.
• You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Osborn's declaration to the Sinister Six after he starts absorbing Discord's powers.
  • And again in Chapter 48, when Osborn brainwashes Sunset Shimmer to make her fight until she dies, and declares that he has no more use for her.
