Spider-Man, Spider-Man,

Does whatever a spider can

Spins a web, any size,

Catches thieves just like flies

Look Out!

Here comes the Spiderman.

—Opening verse of the Title Theme Tune

• The Abridged Series: Spiderdub.
• Art Evolution: Inverted: Budget slashes during the second season caused the animation to become worse.
• A Worldwide Punomenon: So many puns that the Vulture ended up begging for mercy to make Spidey stop making egg jokes.
• Becoming Part Of The Image: Happens to Spider-Man in episode 45.
• Camp
• Cloud Cuckoolander: The Vulture is a bit of an odd bird in this version.
• Color-Coded for Your Convenience: In the second season, mostly because of using footage of villians from Rocket Robin Hood, the villians were inevitably green-skinned.
• The Dark Age of Animation
• Darker and Edgier: Say what you will about the second season, at least the first two episodes covered Spider-Man's origin, including the murder of Uncle Ben.
• Deadpan Snarker: Spidey, as always. Betty Brant has her moments, too. Also, Electro, Green Goblin and Vulture when put together.
  • Electro can be pretty sarcastic with Spider-Man, too.
• Expy: Klivendon to Kraven and Charles Cameo to Chameleon. Which is an odd case, because they had licensing to those characters.
• Harmless Freezing: In the first episode but Spider-Man combats this with a self-made heating unit on his chest... which doesn't get used anyway.
• Ice Person: The Plutonians.
• Jerk With A Heart Of Jerk: Jameson. To quote Betty Brant: "Beneath that gruff exterior is a gruff interior."
• Limited Animation
• Meaningful Name: Dr Smarter.
• Off Model
• Power Makes Your Voice Deep: Peter used a lower-toned voice as Spider-Man.
• Stock Footage: A large abundance of it. Particularly notable during the second season, when endless shots of Spidey swinging across the city were combined with intercut footage from Rocket Robin Hood as a means of severe cost cutting.
