Fanfic / Ultimate Spiders and Magic

Back to basics.

A reboot of Spiders and Magic: Rise of Spider-Mane by Maximus_Reborn, this time a crossover between Spider-Man and My Little Pony: Equestria Girls where both universes are one and the same. Following a disastrous crime fighting Saturday, Nick Fury convinces Peter Parker and May to move to Canterlot so the Director of SHIELD can keep an eye on him.

Now going to school at Canterlot High, Peter has to contend with his first supervillains, the strangeness of his new school, his double life, and a new circle of friends including Sunset Shimmer and Trixie. All the while having to put up with J. Jonah Jameson’s slander and Flash Thompson’s bullying.

This Fanfiction contains the following tropes:

• Absurdly Divided School: Canterlot High has many groups. Flash Thompson leads the popular kids while the Rainbooms are viewed as celebrities due to their heroics. However, Peter is part of the bottom of the barrel of the social order: the outcasts that even the geeks and dweebs look down on. They are dubbed the Loser Brigade.
• Adaptation Personality Change: Aria is a bit more complicated than her canonical counterpart. While still sarcastic and dry, she is far more empathetic due to how she feeds on negative emotions. Unlike her sisters, who feed to survive, Aria actually FEELS what she's ingesting. This actually leads to her breaking away from Adagio and joining Peter, whom she declares has very rich negative emotions to where it is very intoxicating (especially at such a young age).
• Adaptational Villainy: Spitfire in the original series was a Wonderbolt and would often join the Mane 6 in the frontlines, here she is the Vulture and will harm heroes like Spider-Man if it means getting her way. Subverted when she agrees to change her ways after Peter talks her down.
• Adaptational Nice Guy: He needed to be sealed away, but Discord in Genetic Conscription. He only seeks Eris’ safety.
• Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: It appears that Adrian Toomes is working under Norman Osborn when normally they’re either corporate enemies or not associated with each other to begin with. A Justified Trope as this overhaul may stem from the Vulture tech not being Toomes’ work to begin with in this universe.
• Adults Are Useless: During Episode 4, Principal Celestia, Luna, Cadence, and Cinch all witness giant plants nearly kill some of their students, but instead of immediately stopping the games, they carry on as if it never happened and pass it off as an unusual circumstance.
• Alpha Bitch: Adagio Dazzle is this throughout the entirety of Episode 2 and is shown to have not learned her lesson afterward, blaming Peter and even Aria for her failures. Now instead of revealing his secret, Adagio hangs out with Flash Thompson just to simply spite Peter.
• Alternate Self: It’s revealed that Peter is a direct parallel counterpart of Peter from the original Spiders & Magic.
  • During the climax of Episode 4 (The Friendship Games), Spider-Knight emerges to help, who in himself is also a variant of the original S&M Peter.
• Always Second Best: Sci-Twi to Peter, from Crystal Prep to Canterlot High. No matter how hard she tried, Peter always seemed to surpass Twilight without even trying, adding to her frustration.
• Amazing Technicolor Population: In spite of this world being a full hybrid of the Marvel and Equestria Girls universe, the population within the Canterlot City region have colorful skin tones like their Equestrian counterparts. In the second chapter, unlike most crossover adaptions, this is immediately addressed as odd by Peter when he moves into the region. He comes to learn from Nick Fury that the people here have a bizarre x-gene mutation that only affects their skin pigmentation. Considering this is the Marvel Universe, colorful skin is not even the tenth weirdest thing to occur.
• Anti-Villain: The Mighty Vulture only seeks to get back at Oscorp with no intentions of directly harming uninvolved innocents or even Spider-Man, however her methods for doing so would cause massive collateral damage.
  • Kraven during Episode V: Neogenic Nightmare has his own goals in mind, but during the climax, he holds a sense of honor and refuses to learn Peter's identity due to the given circumstances. By the end of the day, he uphold his oath and helps return Spider-Man to normal.
• Arc Villain:
  • The Mighty Vulture/Spitfire for New Beginnings, seeking revenge on Oscorp through any means necessary.
  • The Dazzlings for Rainbow Rocks, who want to take over Canterlot High via negative emotion manipulation.
  • The Juggernaut for Genetic Conscription, who is attempting to capture new mutant, Eris, on Magneto's order.
  • Principal Cinch and Sci Twi for Friendship Games, who both have ties to Peter's past.
  • Man-Spider for Neogenic Nightmare, who unwittingly sends Canterlot City into a frenzy with his presence.
  • The Great and Powerful Mysterio/Jackpot/Quentin Beck for Smoke and Mirrors, who is not only Trixie's father but has arrived to use his magical performances to hide his illegal matters while in Canterlot City.
• Bad Powers, Bad People: The Sirens in Episode 2, although it seems to really only fully apply to Adagio. They feed off of negative emotions to survive, also gaining the ability to control their targets. However, Adagio seems to be the only one who initially likes utilizing this ability. Sonata is neutral, merely going along with Adagio's lead, but Aria is the one who actively rebels against abusing this ability, especially upon feeding on Peter's emotions.
• Beware the Silly Ones: Eris in Episode 3. In spite of her playful demeanor, she has the power of chaos magic and can destroy all of reality if she uses her powers carelessly. This is such a hazard that Doctor Strange was willing to exile her just on the possibility alone. Eris is even about to sap the strength out of the Juggernaut.
  • Discord aka Seth also falls into this category, in spite of him working as a lowly janitor at Canterlot High.
• Big Eater: Peter Parker. Due to his super abilities, it only makes sense that he has a superhuman metabolism. A running trend throughout the story is that he is always eating enough for a small army. It is even hinted that Aunt May packs him extra sandwiches to help him get through the day.
  • At the end of Episode 3, it is shown that Logan goes through a similar trend due to his super healing.
• Big Good: Nick Fury, as morally questionable as he is, fits this role as the one who wishes to help keep Peter out of trouble and grant him his new resources.
• Bishōnen: Blueblood fits this trope, appearing more far more feminine than his canon counterpart, but his personality is firmly masculine.
• Bittersweet Ending: Thus far, this happens after every episode. Spidey wins the day, but it comes at a cost. In Episode One, he defeats the Vulture, but because of the collateral damage, Jameson and Diamond Tiara label him a menace, thus immediately ruining his reputation in Canterlot City.
  • At the end of Episode Two, Spidey saves the school from the Dazzling's influence alongside the Rainbooms, but everyone thinks he simply hijacked the show. Tiara doubles down, most of the Rainbooms distrust him, and his reputation is tainted even further.
  • Jameson finds a way to blame all of the collateral damage on Spider-Man at the end of Episode Three, in spite of the Juggernaut and Wolverine being there as well.
  • At the end of Episode 4, Spidey is blamed for the events of what transpired during the Friendship Games. Plus, Doctor Strange forebodes that Twilight's actions may have damaged the multiverse beyond repair and that some portals are unaccounted for, leading to potential outer-dimensional visitors.
  • At the end of Episode 5, due to the path of destruction Man-Spider left in its wake, the entire city has developed a renewed sense of fear towards Spider-Man in the aftermath. At least he gets the girl.
  • At the end of Episode 6, Mysterio has been apprehended and confessed to his crimes, clearing Spider-Man of the crimes the villain framed him for. But in the process, Trixie's friendship with Peter has become strained due to his (correct) accusations of her father, and she is a laughing stock in school. In addition, Osborn and Cinch are planning to unleash "Project Scorpion" against Peter in the near future.
• Born Unlucky: Poor Peter has this in spades, so much so that it is deemed his signature 'Parker Luck'.
• Brilliant, but Lazy: Otto Octavius says this to Peter when they first meet in Episode One (Clearly an homage to the second Spider-Man film).
• The Bully: Flash Thompson, having transferred to Canterlot High sometime before Peter did.
• Bullying the Disabled: Ditzy (aka Derpy) falls prey to this because of her crossed-eyed appearance. We even learn she has a legitimate disability and poor eyesight due to it.
• Bully Magnet: Peter receives this in droves from Flash Thompson, Crystal Prep, and even Canterlot High (whether the latter realizes it or not).
• Bumbling Henchmen Duo: Snips and Snails. Although harmless under Trixie's thumb, they are shown to be quite clumsy and incompetent.
• Call-Back: There are a few in this series.
  • Rainbow Dash's nickname Skittles is back, but unlike her main S&M counterpart who didn't seem to mind it (though it's more than likely due to her not getting the reference), this version of the character despises the name.
  • The climax between Vulture (Spitfire) and Spider-Man is settled in a race (a throwback to their friendly matchup in Rise of Spider-Mane).
  • In Part IV, we have the return of an elemental yeti. We've had a ice and fire one respectively in the past. This time, it controls wind.
  • Spider-Knight's return in Part IV.
• Chick Magnet: Peter, unwittingly and unknowingly so. In spite of being at the bottom of the social poll in terms of popularity, Peter's circle of friends are all females, and most seem to hold an attraction to him (Trixie, Sunset, Ditzy, and Eris). Aria is attracted as well, but for an entirely different reason. Sugarcoat is included, although it is played up for laughs, and Fluttershy joins the harem as of the end of Chapter V. Trixie's relationship with Peter becomes strained, however, after the events of Episode 6.
  • Blueblood is this as well, seeing how rich and popular he is. However, unlike Peter who is ever-oblivious to his own charm, Double B hates the attention due to how superficial and shallow the girls are that pine for his attention.
• Cloud Cuckoo Lander: Eris is depicted as a gal with her head in the clouds and the daughter of a reality-bender. Doesn't help she has ADHD.
• Composite Character: Spitfire is the first Vulture in this universe. She later takes on the name Falcon after changing her ways.
• Continuity Nod: Spitfire and Spider-Man's race at the climax of Episode 1 is a callback to their race back in the original Spiders and Magic: Rise of Spider-Mane.
  • In Episode 2, Twilight from the Spiders and Magic: Rise of Spider-Mane verse emerges and helps the Rainbooms. She even talks with the Dazzlings in an attempt to find a more peaceful solution than her counterparts, who are dead in her universe with the exception of Sonata.
  • In Episode 4, Spider Knight acknowledges what happened to his Twilight Sparkle and is put at ease when his younger counterpart and Sunset Shimmer manage to defeat Midnight Sparkle while restoring her humanity.
• Continuity Reboot: Of the original Spiders and Magic series.
• Costume Evolution: Spider-Man starts off in his traditional red and blue costume before gaining the Advanced Suit from Nick Fury based off his own designs following a few months break from crime fighting.
• Decomposite Character: Although Spitfire is the Vulture seen in the first story and has a grudge against Oscorp, it’s implied Adrian Toomes will become the Vulture as well like most canon depictions.
• Defeat Means Friendship: Spitfire and Peter become friends after their fight. She even discards her old Vulture mantle and takes on the Falcon helm, becoming a supporting character for Spidey.
• Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life: Sunset Shimmer throughout the first four episodes feels lost and has an existential crisis, so much so that she refuses to romance Peter until she finds her purpose.
• Destructive Saviour: Spider-Man, since he’s still very inexperienced. At the start of the story, his crime fighting accidentally results in a chunk of Midtown High getting blown up.
• The Ditz: Derpy aka Ditzy. It's literally in her name. She's the klutz of the Loser Brigade, and the sweetheart as well. You can even say she's The Fool and the Cute Clumsy Girl of the group, seeing that her head's always in the clouds and she's always bumping into everything. To be fair, her vision is impaired.
• Dude, Where's My Respect?: In spite of all the good he does, Peter can't catch a break whether it's as himself or his heroic alter-ego. If anything, he gets blamed for every incident. Even in Episode 2, the majority of the Rainbooms still don't trust Spidey even after Twilight urges them to give him a chance.
• Easily Forgiven: Dialed back but still applies. After her defeat by the hands of Spider-Man, Spitfire is taken to custody by Nick Fury and SHIELD, but she is released on probation the next day and allowed to return to her gym teacher duties. It may come off as a slap on the wrist, considering how much property damage she was committing as the Vulture, but this is Fury we are talking about. It's made clear that Spitfire is being watched carefully by SHIELD and a relapse would most certainly land her in HUGE trouble.
  • Same applies to Principal Cinch at the end of Episode 4. Considering she blackmailed and extorted a student, Cinch escapes serious jailtime while only being fired from her job. Again, this is thanks to Fury, who only asks that she remain silent about the magical escapades that happened during the Friendship Games.
• The Easy Way or the Hard Way: Juggernaut utters this phrase when confronting Spider-Man and Wolverine about surrendering Eris.
• Elite School Means Elite Brain: Hinted at in "A New Beginning", it is learned that Peter used to attend Crystal Prep for a brief period before transferring to Canterlot High. Finally expanded upon, we find that in spite of his 'laziness' and 'aloof' nature, Peter excelled and became the best student in Crystal Prep's history. This ripple effect is one of a plethora of reasons that led to tension between Sci-Twilight, Principal Cinch, and himself. Ultimately, Peter just felt that he didn't fit in with the elite culture of Crystal Prep, leading to his transfer.
• Embarrassing Nickname: Applies to Rainbow Dash as she hates the nickname of Skittles. There seems to be a reason for this, but we have no idea as of yet. This seems to be the catalyst as to why she seems to dislike Peter with a passion.
  • Jackpot/Quentin Beck always refers to his daughter, Trixie, as "Pumpkin". Turns out that as a child, she used to mimic Mysterio's fishbowl helmet by carving out a pumpkin and putting it over her head.
• Even Evil Has Standards: Aria expresses some pity when she notices how negative Peter’s emotions are. She even notes that the potent negative emotions were so rich that it feels too toxic to continue
  • Kraven displays this during Episode 5. He and Logan find common ground while teaming to fight against the Man-Spider, so much so that after Peter is cured and exposed, Kraven refuses to learn his identity because there is no honor in it.
  • Jackpot, aka Mysterio, shows this in Episode 6. He only goes after Spider-Man because Oscorp threatens to reveal his identity and put his family at risk. He even expresses regret while taking on the task, even apologizing to Spider-Man during his attack.
• Fire-Forged Friends: By the end of their team-up, Spider-Man, Wolverine and Doctor Strange find common ground as allies.
• Forced Transformation: The entire premise of Episode V as Peter involuntarily morphs into the Man-Spider.
• The Friend Nobody Likes: Trixie. Out of all of Peter's friends, she is the most complex with the worst reputation among them. She comes off as a snob with a huge ego and hardly anybody in the school can tolerate her self-absorbed presence. Even when Trixie first meets Peter in Episode I, she immediately recruits him as an assistant, and he spends half the time pondering if they're even friends to begin with. It's not until the end of Episode II "Rainbow Rocks" that Trixie reveals her genuine attachment to Peter after the Dazzlings' influence wears off.
  • In Episode IV "Friendship Games", Sunset can't defend Trixie's antics from the Rainbooms and just accepts that even she doesn't understand how they're friends.
• Greater-Scope Villain: Oscorp ceased funding Spitfire’s Vulture project following her accident, which spiraled into her fulfilling a life of crime. And it’s revealed that Norman Osborn is scheming behind the scenes, having Adrian Toomes utilize Spitfire’s Vulture tech as a start after taking an interest in Spider-Man. He further acts as this by forcing Mysterio to go after Spider-Man by threatening his family, and intends to act as a secret investor for "Project Scorpion" while setting up Jameson to act as a public fall-guy when things eventually go off the rails.
• Hates Their Parents: Trixie. We come to learn in Episode 6 that while she has a great relationship with her father, the same cannot be said about her mother. After the events of Episode 6 when Beck is arrested, a large reason why Trixie develops a grudge against Peter is because she worries how her life will be now that she is forced to live alone with her mother.
• Head Desk: Episode 3, in the aftermath of everything, Peter gets so much bad news in rapid succession that he resorts to this.
• Heel–Face Turn: Spitfire in Episode 1.
  • Aria in Episode 2
• Hero with Bad Publicity: Spider-Man has been hit hard with this, to the point where Nick Fury sends him and May to Canterlot until the bad press cools down. Unfortunately though, Jameson finds out Spider-Man’s moved and continues his crusade where his reputation is as bad as ever.
• Hypocrite:
  • In Episode 4, Sunset feels left out when Peter keeps her at arms-length while being secretive. However, Aria later points out that Sunset herself has been doing that since the beginning, never mentioning her Equestrian heritage.
• Internal Reveal: Spider-Man and Vulture discover each other’s secret identities at the same time.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Aria. Rather, she is uncomfortably blunt, yet she is very supportive of Peter. We even catch glimpses of her being kind to members of the Loser Brigade and Aunt May. There are shades of *Hidden Depths, hinting at a rocky past.
  • Flash Thompson. While he initially bullies Peter, it is revealed that something happened between the two (a second hint at *Hidden Depths. In spite of that, Flash has shown to be supportive of those around him. When Sunset's reputation was still in shambles after her first EQG incident, it is hinted that he befriended her. Also, much like his canon counterpart, Flash is a huge Spider-Man fanboy, even creating a fanclub in his honor. Even Fluttershy seems to be friends with him: calling him by his actual name, Eugene.
• Kid Hero: Spider-Man, being 15 and having only six months of experience at the start of the story.
• Legacy Character: It’s implied that Adrian Toomes will don the mantle of his usual comic alter ego, the Vulture.
  • Although he has changed his identity, Jackpot's real name is Quentin Beck, and very much like his comic book counterpart, he is Mysterio.
• Let's You and Him Fight: Spider-Man vs Wolverine and later Doctor Strange.
• Lighter and Softer: Compared to the original series, which dealt with Peter Parker overcoming his trauma over Gwen’s Stacy death. This story is simply about Peter being transferred to a new city and juggling a new high school life as well as his Spider-Man responsibilities.
• Like a Son to Me: Aunt May openly calls Peter her son in spite of the aunt/nephew dynamic. To be fair, it's hinted that she's practically raised him from his toddler years.
  • From what we gathered thus far, Octavious and Peter are extremely close. While they have a clear mentor and pupil relationship, Otto has proven to be very protective and supportive of Peter and Spider-Man. Unlike Cinch's relationship with Twilight, Octavious treats Peter like a human being. Same applies to Otto and Sci-Twi.
• Loser Friend Puzzles Outsiders: Sunset's friendship and relationship with the members of the Loser Brigade confuses the Rainbooms. With the exception of Ditzy, who is a lovable klutz, every member of the brigade is considered trouble for one reason or another. Trixie is a loudmouth driven by her ego, Aria once nearly took over the school with her siren sisters by devouring negative emotions, Eris is a class clown without a sense of reasoning, and Peter is the new kid who is aloof and standoffish.
• Loser Protagonist: Peter, so much so that Crystal Prep and Canterlot High views him at the absolute bottom of the social totem pole. It's so bad that anyone associated with him is coped into a ragtag group called the Loser Brigade, started by Flash Thompson.
• Medium Awareness: Peter. Seeing that the Equestria Girls films have their fair share of musicals, this comes off as bizarre and annoying for Pete when everyone suddenly bursts into song and he's the only one aware of the situation. Left the Background Music On also fits here.
• Mentor Archetype: Doctor Otto Octavius in this universe is Peter's physics professor. Old Otto has even taken him and Sci Twi as his apprentices, hoping they find a balance in each other in spite of their differences. He even learns of Peter's double life as Spider-Man and has supported him further in his endeavors.
• Million to One Chance: By some odds, Flash Thompson for whatever reason transfers to Canterlot High, now able to continue his constant bullying towards Peter.
• Nephewism: Peter and Aunt May are practically pioneers of this trope.
• Nerds Are Sexy: Peter. Everyone in his circle has shown to find him handsome or cute, some more than others.
• New Transfer Student: Peter is transferred from Midtown High to Cystral Prep, but he is transferred again to Canterlot High soon afterward.
• Noodle Incident:
  • Peter keeps being told of an incident where a chunk of Canterlot High blew up the semester before he transferred.
  • Peter himself has some experiences at Crystal Prep we have little information on.
• Nothing Is the Same Anymore: A running trend in this series is that every action Peter takes has a lasting consequence.
  • Due to his inexperience, he blows up his old high school and is forced to transfer, all while constantly having Nick Fury analyze his every movement. This is also applied to the friends and enemies Peter makes over the course of the story.
  • It is implied by Doctor Strange that Sci-Twi's actions throughout Episode 4 and its climax will have multi-universal effects.
• Only Sane Man: It's pretty much nearly the whole of the Friendship Games. With all the incidents, Peter is wondering if everyone is insane for continuing the games. He even announces that the town sucks if they allow that to happen.
• Open-Minded Parent: Aunt May is okay and very supportive of her 15-year-old nephew's heroic and dangerous endeavors as Spider-Man. Although, we have no idea what her initial reaction was as of yet.
• Open Mouth, Insert Foot: One of Peter Parker's defining traits in this story. It is pointed out by various characters that Peter does this when he's nervous. This is also what ultimately leads to the Rainbooms have a negative opinion on him. He makes an offhand comment and calls Rainbow Dash "Skittles", which is something she apparently HATES. Plus, he comments on everyone's names upon their introductions. These are just two of many incidents of Peter's mouth getting him into trouble.
• Parental Substitute: Aunt May takes it upon herself to adopt Aria once she sees the sirens break up.
• Secret-Keeper: Aunt May and Nick Fury are the only ones aware of Peter’s double life initially.
  • In Episode Two (Rainbow Rocks), The Dazzlings learn Peter's secret by sensing his negative emotions, but they choose to keep it a secret in order to exploit him, keeping him as a feeding source.
  • In Episode Three, Peter accidentally (and stupidly) reveals his secret to Eris and Logan, but they choose to stay quiet about it. Doctor Strange hardly cares about it, and Discord finds it amusing more than anything else.
  • In Episode Five, Fluttershy figures out Peter is Spider-Man. Even better? We come to find out that Spike knows as well, but he is bribed to keep the secret by Octavious via doggie treats.
• Ship Tease: There is a lot of this between Peter, Sunset, Trixie, Derpy, and that’s just among Peter’s friends.
  • Although one-sided and played to comedic effect, Sugarcoat is extremely blunt about her feelings (and Peter is insistent on believing it's a trap of sorts.
  • Fluttershy gets added to this during Episode 5.
  • Trixie gets a LOT of attention throughout Episode 6,and the bond she has with Peter blossoms into something a little more. Even with the fallout at the end of the episode, there is still hope.
• Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: Peter in this universe struggles with this trope. On one hand, he is very idealistic when it comes to others. He always looks to find the best in those around him, from friends to enemies. However, whenever it comes to specific individuals and himself, he's an absolute pessimist that comes off as bitter. Granted, he's a fifteen year-old, adolescent, hormonal teenager that was forced to move to a new school (twice in the span of a few months), is bullied by multiple individuals (from Flash Thompson to Jonah Jameson), an introvert thrown into an extremely extroverted school, is at the absolute bottom of the social ladder, has to deal with a rotating circle of villains every week, and is being watched constantly by the world's chief of security. Circumstances have understandably taken a toll on our boy.
• Starter Villain: Spitfire aka the Vulture acts as Spider-Man’s first supervillain.
• Straight Man: Peter can't help but be this in the wacky, eccentric, and sometimes nonsensical Equestria Girls verse. While this is a more grounded version of its canonical counterpart thanks to its fusion with the Marvel universe, major aspects of the EQG world shines through, like the abrupt musical numbers or illogical decisions. Peter is usually left openly questioning the sanity (or lack thereof) of those around him.
• Stuffed into a Trashcan: Flash reintroduces himself to Peter in this fashion in the very first chapter of the series.
• Stupidest Thing I've Ever Heard: Episode V, Twilight brings up how she and Rainbooms failed to take the Man-Spider— all without a real concrete plan— and Peter bluntly states how dumb and idiotic that was.
• Surrounded by Idiots: Trixie shows this when working with the bumbling duo of Snips and Snails, lamenting on how hard it is to find good help
  • Peter is this as well. Especially when the school even declares they were all winners, despite Canterlot being the cause of the many incidents. He even magentises his medal as he feels the reward was unjustified, leaving Twilight to get extremely annoyed.
  • Peter's immediate reaction when he learns that the Main Seven tried to take down the Man-Spider without a plan.
• Superman Stays Out of Gotham: An Invoked Trope. Nick Fury sends Peter away to Canterlot City as he’d be the only hero there, and thus would be easier to keep an eye on as opposed to the hero-filled city of New York.
• Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Episode 5's pairing of Wolverine and Kraven. One is a animal-loving hero (who hunts only to survive) while the other (is morally grey at best) poaches for sport. Both are deemed the ultimate hunters, but their methods and reasons couldn't be more different. It's hinted that they've even crossed paths in the Savage Land.
• Tragic Villain: Jackpot aka Mysterio in Episode 6. Quite the contrast from his canon counterpart. He's a doting and supportive father and even befriends Peter upon learning how close he is with his daughter, Trixie. Sadly, Beck is a former employee of Oscorp, and he is more or less blackmailed into obtaining a DNA sample from Spider-Man by Norman Osborn himself.
• The Un-Favorite: Abacus Cinch and Sci-Twi (for Peter). We learn in Episode IV, Twilight was the undisputed smartest student in the school, but once Peter transfers, he completely blows her GPA out of the water (all while being half-asleep). Abacus drops Twi and constantly berates her for failing to match Peter's performance— in spite of the handicap.
• Use Your Head: Unfortunate case of it backfiring horribly for Applejack in Episode V. While trying to break free from the Man-Spider's grip, AJ tries to use this tactic and hurts herself. Man-Spider soon gives it back and THEN some. During the epilogue, it is revealed that Applejack suffered a concussion from the blow.
