History Characters / MCUSpiderMan

** [[spoiler:In ''Spider-Man: No Way Home'', Peter and MJ are in his room and she is helping him take off his suit in a panic after his identity was just exposed. Aunt May walks in on MJ undressing Peter and thinks they are having sex. Peter then tries explaining to his aunt this isn't true, but she doesn't believe him.]]

** [[spoiler:In ''Spider-Man: No Way Home'', Peter and MJ are in his room and she is helping him take off his suit. Aunt May walks in on MJ undressing Peter and thinks they are having sex. Peter then tries to explain to his aunt that he and MJ were not having sex, but she doesn't believe him.]]

* ChickMagnet: As Spider-Man, a number of his female classmates like him. Michelle is strongly implied to be interested in ''Homecoming'', and [[spoiler:by the end of ''Far From Home'', they've had a RelationshipUpgrade]]. And despite Peter's apparent flaking nature, Liz does reveal to him that she ''is'' attracted to him. There's also the small group of German girls who give him flirtatious looks during his home video at the beginning of ''Homecoming'' (which he's clearly pretty thrilled by).

** To Iron Man. Both are [[RedIsHeroic superheroes dressed in red]], and scientific geniuses who fashioned their own suits and tools (even if Pete's original suit was just a homemade onesie with swimming goggles and a red ski mask), and both are very witty wisecrackers, who sometimes use their wittiness to hide their emotional pain. Both, however, come from radically different economic backgrounds: Tony was born into money and is a [[CrimefightingWithCash successful billionaire with unlimited money and cutting-edge tech at his fingertips]], while Pete's family is of [[WorkingClassHero comparatively modest means, and everything he built was made from what he could scrounge]]. Age also plays a big part in differentiating them: by the time Tony and Peter meet, Tony has been saving the world as Iron Man for some years, while Peter has been playing the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man for only a few months. Tony has more experience under his belt and is all the wiser for it, while Peter is young and naïve, not quite realizing the limits of his strengths until they come back to bite him in the ass. Both are also {{chick magnet}}s but while Tony was a womanizer before settling down with Pepper, Peter only has two love interests he primarily focuses on in his respective solo movie.

* NiceGuy: He's a warm and good-natured person who ultimately wants to make the world safer with his powers. [[TheHeart Captain America]] even thinks he's a good kid in spite of being pitted against him. Even [[TheStoic Doctor Strange]], while annoyed by him every once in a while, admires his kindness and compassion [[spoiler:especially after Peter insists he erases him from everybody's memories to save the multiverse.]]

* OfficialCouple: By the end of ''Far From Home'', [[spoiler:he's with MJ.]] [[spoiler: Till the events of ''No Way Home'', as MJ's memories of Peter are wiped alongside the universe's. He chooses not to reconnect with her for the time being despite still loving her.]]

** At the end of ''No Way Home'', [[spoiler:he is ''livid'' at Green Goblin for killing Aunt May that he unleashes a fierce pummeling and is ready to skewer Green Goblin with the Goblin Glider]].

* OutOfFocus: While Uncle Ben is indicated to be a crucial part of his motivation for becoming a superhero through various indirect elements hinting at his influence on Peter and May's lives, he 's surprisingly not directly mentioned ''once'' by either of them in Peter's first six film appearances, although [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatResponsibility it's clear that he learned the crucial lesson that he was supposed to from what happened]]. [[spoiler:This approach is also in part because May ''also'' fulfills this role in the MCU's version of the story, down to being the one who actually tells him the iconic words before dying.]] The first official confirmation on Uncle Ben's presence in the MCU actually came in ''WesternAnimation/WhatIf2021'', in an alternate timeline, with later mentions of Ben being of [[spoiler:Tobey and Andrew's Spider-Men mentioning their Ben's to him.]]

!!A.I.s
[[folder:"Karen"]]
!!''"Karen"''
!!!'''Species:''' Artificial Intelligence
!!!'''Voiced By:''' Creator/JenniferConnelly, Erica Edwards (Latin-American Spanish), Creator/KikukoInoue (Japanese)
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming''
An A.I. Tony Stark installed in Spider-Man's suit, to be activated after the completion of his training. Peter winds up disabling the suit's training mode out of frustration, activating her and the suit's advanced functions early. Since she has no pre-set name, he nicknames her "Karen".
----
* ArtificialIntelligence: Even if the suit is less mechanical than the PoweredArmor Iron Man wears, the gadgets require an A.I..
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: One of her attributes, given all sorts of scanners and gadgets in the suit. Though it isn't always positive: Peter is not so pleased to hear "[[ExactTimeToFailure XX seconds to catastrophic damage]]" and "[[FailedASpotCheck you were 98% successful]]".
* BenevolentAI: Just like J.A.R.V.I.S. and F.R.I.D.A.Y., she's helpful and heroic.
* ChekhovsClassroom: In ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'', Karen informs Peter that his suit has an "Instant Kill" function when he plans to subdue two small-time robbers, which initially horrifies the webslinger, due to his commitment to ThouShaltNotKill. Once he's surrounded by Thanos's Outriders in ''Film/AvengersEndgame'' however, Peter finally crosses the GodzillaThreshold and activates it to save himself.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Even though Peter gets his Stark tech suit after it's confiscated by Tony in the climax of ''Homecoming'', Karen never reappears in vocal form in Spider-Man's later MCU appearances, nor is she ever brought up by anyone else. [[spoiler:With Peter crafting a new suit in ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'' and all of his ties to Stark being lost via Doctor Strange's second spell, there's a very high chance that Karen's gone for good.]]
* TheComicallySerious: Unlike J.A.R.V.I.S., she's not a snarker, but given that Karen is [[BrutalHonesty blunt]] and at times [[CaptainObvious obvious]], most of what she says ends up funny.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Played with. Like Jarvis to Tony, she's helpful, definitely on Peter's side, and overall has a very friendly disposition, but she will ask to activate the Instant Kill mode in a heartbeat. It almost seems to her default, as she often asks to activate in situations where it is ''completely'' uncalled for, as when Peter is merely observing some bad guys and in absolutely no immediate danger. The dark and edgy is take up another notch when you stop to think that Tony put this function into a suit he made for a ''15-year-old boy...'' However, considering Ned hacked past the Training Wheels protocol, it's likely Tony figured that completing the Training Wheels protocol would take years and Peter would have matured into adulthood by then.
* DissonantSerenity: Tells Peter that because he hasn't reinstalled his parachute, a fall from the top of the Washington Monument would most likely be lethal, all in a pleasant, even tone as if she's commenting on the weather.
* DistaffCounterpart: She's J.A.R.V.I.S. with the voice of a woman. In fact, she's voiced by Creator/JenniferConnelly, [[CastingGag the wife of]] J.A.R.V.I.S.'s own voice actor Creator/PaulBettany.
* ExpositionFairy: An especially required case given Peter [[HowDoIShotWeb doesn't know a tenth of what Tony has put in the suit]].
* FunnyRobot: Is this at times, showing her recording of Peter talking to himself on the mirror despite him protesting because she found it funny, and later trying to serve as TheMatchmaker regarding Peter and his crush Liz.
* HeroicComedicSociopath: Not to an extreme degree, but she ''will'' activate the Instant Kill Protocol at the drop of a hat.
* NiceGirl: Unlike the other A.I.s Stark has developed, she appears to lack a snarky sense of humor and is instead cheerful, kind, and helpful. She also seems to genuinely like Peter and tries to help him out in any way she can.
* TheMentor: She spends more time teaching and encouraging Peter in both superhero and civilian aspects in two days than her creator does in two months.
* NoNameGiven: Unlike the Iron Man armor A.I.s, she doesn't come with a preset name. Peter finds it awkward to call her "Suit Lady", and nicknames her Karen.
* OneSteveLimit: Averted. She's the second character in the MCU with the name "Karen", after [[Creator/DeborahAnnWoll Karen Page]] in [[Series/Daredevil2015 the]] [[Series/TheDefenders2017 Netflix]] [[Series/ThePunisher2017 shows]].
* ParentalSubstitute: She's so personable and intelligent that she basically becomes a motherly figure to Peter, helping him in non-superhero things like his upcoming Spanish quiz or advancing his crush on a classmate.
* PutOnABus: Karen exits the movie when Stark takes away the suit, and has yet to be heard from again even after getting it back. Peter activates Instant-Kill mode in ''Endgame'' by a voice command, as he did when having Karen change his web-shooter settings in ''Homecoming'', but Karen is not heard responding. She isn't heard at all in ''Far From Home'', with her role in the story filled in by the E.D.I.T.H. A.I., and given Peter's situation at the end of ''No Way Home'', it is very unlikely that she will make another appearance in the near future.
* ShipperOnDeck: For Peter and Liz, giving him advice and urging him to kiss her when he has the chance.
* UncertainDoom: While not directly stated, the Stark suit was last seen packed inside Peter's luggage in ''Far From Home'' which was contained in the bus Peter's schoolmates and teachers were riding that got destroyed in the climax.

----
* ArtificialStupidity: She's nowhere near as strong an A.I. as Karen and lacks sapience. She takes Peter's commands too literally and doesn't offer any suggestions beyond safety warnings.
* CoolShades: A very powerful KillSat housed in a sunglasses.
* FluffyTheTerrible: Yet considering this (and what is a more classically-feminine name), E.D.I.T.H. is the A.I. responsible for a technology grid of massive firepower not even J.A.R.V.I.S. (who was incorporated into every Iron Man suit before he was integrated into Vision) commanded.

* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: Peter usually gets put through the wringer enough in most of his other appearances, but this gets hammered hard in ''Infinity War'', ''Endgame'', ''Far From Home'' and ''No Way Home''. Not only does he get turned to dust and spends the next five years dead, the moment he comes back, his mentor sacrifices his life to ensure the being responsible is bested for good. Peter then spends the next eight months dealing with the pressures of stepping up to the plate in Tony's place, but it gets to him and [[spoiler:Mysterio is able to take advantage and swipe Tony's last gift to him.]] He's able to accept he needs to be the hero that Iron Man was, but [[spoiler:Beck posthumously outs him and frames him for murder]]. [[Series/Daredevil2015 Matt Murdock]] clears him on the legal front, but [[ConvictedByPublicOpinion his social life gets so screwed up thanks to the public hounding him]] that he turns to Dr. Strange to wipe his identity from the public conscious. But both men [[PoorCommunicationKills don't specify the details that well]], and bring villains from the previous ''Spider-Man'' film series into his backyard, along with [[spoiler:both his cinematic predecessors and Venom, the latter of whom fortunately decides to get wasted at a bar instead of showing up to tear him in half]]. He tries to help said villains, but Green Goblin [[spoiler:kills his Aunt May]], leading to a chain of events where [[spoiler:he has to have Strange wipe the knowledge of Peter Parker from the MCU, leaving him alone, broke, and with no support.]] Arguably, this is the worst punishment any Spidey has been through.

-->'''Spider-Man:''' WHAT THE [[CurseCutShort FU-]]

** He and Toomes both come from working-class backgrounds, are scientifically minded, and started their careers with reasonable goals only to suffer MotiveDecay. The difference is that Peter gets over his.

* ObliviousToLove: In ''Homecoming'' due to his crush on Liz he is unaware of MJ’s feelings for him. By the beginning of ''Far From Home'', while he is finally putting it together that she likes him, he’s been unaware that MJ has liked him for quite some time and well before he developed his feelings for her.
* OfficialCouple: By the end of ''Far From Home'', [[spoiler:he's with MJ.]] [[spoiler: Till the events of ''No Way Home'', as MJ's memories of Peter is wiped alongside the universe’s. He chooses not to reconnect with her for the time being despite still loving her.]]

* OlderThanTheyLook: On a technicality, due to [[spoiler:being a resurrected victim of Thanos's snap. He was 16 at time of death, and he remained dead for five years. After being brought back from the dead could technically make him 21, but he's still biologically 16 due to being resurrected as he was, his body hasn't aged.]]

* OfficialCouple: By the end of ''Far From Home'', [[spoiler:he's with MJ.]] [[spoiler: Till the events of ''No Way Home'', as MJ's memories of Peter is wiped alongside the universe.]]

* CompositeCharacter: He's a young Peter Parker with his scientific knowledge and a modernized take on his family life, but he also borrows from ComicBook/MilesMorales. Like Miles, he attends a specialist academy for gifted students, and his best friend is himself a composite of Miles Morales' friend Ganke Lee and Peter's friend Ned Leeds. Additionally, his being recruited by Tony Stark shortly after starting his career as Spider-Man is much like how [[ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan Ultimate Peter]] and later Miles was recruited by Nick Fury -- whose MCU counterpart would go on to mentor him in ''Far From Home''. He's also a huge fanboy of the older superheroes just like Peter from ''WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan''. [[spoiler:''No Way Home'' ends with him being erased from everyone's memory, including his allies and loved ones, which makes him similar to ComicBook/TheSentry, and takes some inspiration from the Miles in ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse'' due to being the youngest of the three Spider-Men and losing a family member at the hands of the film's main antagonist.]]

* DeathAmnesia: He apparently doesn’t remember being snapped out of existence by Thanos and simply attributes it to "passing out". According to ''Series/WandaVision'' and ''[[Series/Hawkeye2021 Hawkeye]]'', seems that many of the Vanished don't remember being snapped, either.

* SlasherSmile: Peter of all people flashes one when [[spoiler:he stuffs one of Green Goblin's Pumpkin Bombs in his glider in revenge for stopping him from saving MJ]].

** In ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'', after learning that some of the villains brought from the Multiverse are fated to die if they are returned as they are, [[spoiler:Peter ends up defying Doctor Strange's attempt to send them back and opts to find a way to cure the villains so that they are no longer one to potentially change their fates for the better once they returned to their own universes (which he ''does'' have the ability to pull off as shown when he successfully cured Otto to normal). This proves to have dire consequences when some villains like Green Goblin, the Lizard, and Electro don't ''want'' to be cured and go rogue to cause further destruction, which directly leads to Aunt May's death and Peter Parker being erased from the memories of everyone he knows.]]
* SlasherSmile: Peter of all people flashes one when [[spoiler:he stuffs one of Green Goblin's Pumpkin Bombs in his glider in revenge of Goblin killing Aunt May]].

* SuperheroOrigin: The whole thing about power, responsibility, and indirectly causing his uncle's death through inaction still happened, but it happened offscreen, though it is indirectly referenced multiple times. Between ''Captain America: Civil War'' and ''Avengers: Endgame'', Ben Parker is not even mentioned by name. The filmmakers behind the franchise explained that, with [[Film/SpiderManTrilogy two prior]] [[Film/TheAmazingSpiderManSeries film continuities]] showing the origin, showing it for the third time in ''Spider-Man: Homecoming'' would be redundant. [[spoiler:''No Way Home'' reveals that his trilogy is a unique adaptation of his origin for the MCU, as while Ben does exist and did serve some role in making him Spider-Man Peter doesn't truly learn the lesson "with great power there must also come great responsibility" until May's death. With people's memory of Peter Parker now erased, he loses the allies he had and the advanced tech, forcing him back into the WorkingClassHero he is in the comics and having Jameson doing everything he can to make the city hate him.]]

* DorkKnight: As heroic as the source material and other adaptation of the character, but more geekier this time around.

* SecretIdentityIdentity: In ''No Way Home'', Doctor Strange criticizes Peter for trying to keep two different lives rather than sacrificing one over the other. The rest of the film has Peter conflicted over whether he should focus on his own private life or help others in need despite the possiblity they may further jeopardize his life as Peter Parker. [[spoiler:In the end, he sacrifices the very memory of Peter Parker to save the world, essentially erasing his civilian identity from existence, leaving only Spider-Man behind]].

** ''No Way Home'' features it from his perspective. While working on a MacGuffin in Happy's aprtment, his world gets hazy and he begins to hear a hum that increases the closer he is to danger, as he looks to make sure May is safe. [[spoiler:Finally, he turns around and webs Osborn, whom his Goblin personality has taken over.]]

* PowerLimiter: Peter mentions to Tony that the reason his homemade suit has partially blacked-out goggles is because his SuperSenses make it hard for him to focus, and restricting his field of vision counterarcs that. His Stark-tech suits feature expanding and contracting eyes, allowing him more control over this power.

* WeHardlyKnewYe: Peter only wore it during ''Far Frome Home'''s second act and soon abandons it during his detainment in the Netherlands.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Even though Peter gets his Starktech suit after it's confiscated by Tony in the climax of ''Homecoming'', Karen never reappears in vocal form in Spider-Man's later MCU appearances, nor is she ever brought up by anyone else. [[spoiler:With Peter crafting a new suit in ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'' and all of his ties to Stark being lost via Doctor Strange's second spell, there's a very high chance that Karen's gone for good.]]

* TheGlovesComeOff: Upon returning to Earth in ''Endgame'' as part of TheCavalry in the FinalBattle, he immediately does away with subtlety against the Outriders by activating his suit's "Instant Kill" mode.

* SlasherSmile: Peter of all people flashes one when [[spoiler: he stuffs one of Green Goblin's pumpkin bombs in his glider in revenge of Goblin killing Aunt May]]

* YoungestChildWins: ZigZagged in terms of [[spoiler:the three cimenatic Spider-Men being analogues to brothers during ''No Way Home''. On one hand, Peter lives in a world where there are plenty of superheroes, has the most advanced suit(s) and equipment(s), and on a meta sense has the films that made more money and the most film appearances in general than the two. On the other, he ultimately ended up losing everything for the greater good-- on his friends' case, [[HeroicSacrifice willingly]]. The most obvious is losing his Aunt May, who was Peter's remaining family in most media adaptations. Case in point, the two other Peters were with their Aunt May during their respective film's GraveMarkingScene to give them emotional support (For Raimi-verse during Harry's, for Webb-verse during Gwen's). This Peter's GraveMarkingScene is for Aunt May herself.]]

* See [[Characters/MCUAmazingSpiderMan Amazing Spider-Man]].

* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: {{Downplayed}}. Spider-Man is still strong, fast, agile and has his Spidey Sense and Wall-crawling, but the suits come with all sorts of extra gadgets to them, starting with the webshooters, to round out the set.

Not only does he [[spoiler:get turned to dust and spends the next five years dead]], the moment he comes back, [[spoiler:his mentor sacrifices his life to ensure the being responsible is bested for good.]] Peter then spends the next eight months dealing with the pressures of stepping up to the plate in Tony's place, but it gets to him and [[spoiler:Mysterio is able to take advantage and swipe Tony's last gift to him.]] He's able to accept he needs to be the hero that Iron Man was, but [[spoiler:Beck posthumously outs him and frames him for murder]].

* AffectionateNickname: In ''Film/AvengersEndgame'', [[spoiler:Captain America calls him “Queens” which is a CallBack to when Cap realized they were both New Yorkers during the big fight scene in ''Civil War''.]]

* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:In ''Avengers: Endgame'', he is one of many characters who are brought back from being dusted by Hulk reversing Thanos's deadly fingersnap from ''Avengers: Infinity War''.]]

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Peter Parker's initial story arc is about finding his place in the universe and wanting to be recognized as a hero worthy of being an Avenger. So he becomes one... [[spoiler:which gets him killed and subsequently resurrected.]] After that debacle, [[spoiler:the Avengers disband]], leaving him on his own and placing ''huge'' expectations upon his shoulders when he would now rather spend time as a normal kid. This ultimately culminates in him dealing with an Avengers-level threat entirely on his own... [[spoiler:and he's rewarded by being framed for murder and having his secret identity exposed]].

* BigDamnHeroes: In ''Endgame'', [[spoiler:he saves Tony Stark from Cull Obsidian by pulling him back with his webs for Ant-Man to step on and kill]].

** His Spider-Sense lets him know when there's a significant threat coming. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, when that significant threat is ''instant eradication at the Infinity Gauntlet-clad hand of Thanos'', that just means that he has time to [[MortalityPhobia realize he's dying]].]]

* CharacterDevelopment: When he starts off as a hero, he mostly sticks to the shadows and does little things to help out his neighborhood. His introduction to Tony Stark and the Avengers (plus a new suit) in ''Civil War'' gave him a huge confidence boost and he begins to work more openly and interact with his fellow New Yorkers. Most of his time in ''Homecoming'' is spent trying to prove himself to Stark and become an official member of the Avengers to save the world. By the end of the film, Peter is given the chance to join but turns it down because he decides he'd rather stay close to the ground and help out the little guy. Come ''Far From Home'', he's content to try and settle down for a bit after [[spoiler:he's been dead for five years and Tony sacrificed himself to stop Thanos]], especially because he's being pressured to become the next Iron Man. Thanks to [[spoiler:Mysterio's]] manipulations, he's able to step up to the plate and become the hero he was meant to be...only for [[spoiler:Beck to screw him over again and out him to the public while simultaneously framing him for murder.]] After a serious of events drop the Sam Rami and Marc Webb ''Spider-Man'' villains into the MCU and leads to the original Green Goblin [[spoiler:killing Aunt May]], he really learns the hard way that old adage "With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility" and [[spoiler:selflessly gives up everything to wipe out all knowledge of Peter Parker from his home universe to ensure a gaggle of foes who know his name throughout the multiverse won't overcrowd and destroy Earth.]]

* DeathAmnesia: [[spoiler:He apparently doesn’t remember being snapped out of existence by Thanos and simply attributes it to "passing out". According to ''Series/WandaVision'' and ''[[Series/Hawkeye2021 Hawkeye]]'', seems that many of the Vanished don't remember being snapped, either.]]

* DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler:He disintegrates in Tony Stark's arms after Thanos snaps his fingers and kills half the universe's population.]]

** In ''Infinity War'', his insistence on personally helping out puts him on a crash-course with '''Thanos''', in spite of Iron Man's attempt to get him to land safely back on Earth. He defends the decision by saying he can't be a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man if there ''is'' no neighborhood. [[spoiler:This trope is ultimately zig-zagged in this instance, as he actually survives the fight with Thanos unscathed, and makes things better for the team than if he hadn't been there at all. He only dies when Thanos snuffs out half of all sapient life, which would have logically killed him regardless of where he was at the time.]]

* FinalFirstHug: Tony largely keeps himself emotionally distant from him, rebuffing a hug from him in ''Spider-Man: Homecoming''. [[spoiler:When Thanos's BadassFingersnap culls half the universe's population in ''Infinity War'', and Peter is one of the victims, all Tony does is hug the terrified, crying boy as he [[DiedInYourArmsTonight disintegrates in his arms]]. They get a proper hug in ''Endgame'' once Peter has been brought back to life by Bruce and Tony sees him again since his death. The BigBadassBattleSequence that begins right after costs Tony his life.]]

* TheGlovesComeOff: [[spoiler:Upon returning to Earth in ''Endgame'' as part of TheCavalry in the FinalBattle, he immediately does away with subtlety against the Outriders by activating his suit's "Instant Kill" mode.]]

** In ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'', he comes up with a strategy that Ellen Ripley used in ''Film/{{Aliens}}'' [[spoiler:to kill the Xenomorph Queen]] as a way of [[spoiler:killing Ebony Maw.]]

** From ''Civil War'' to ''Endgame'', Peter is mostly ignored by the more experienced superheroes despite his interest in graduating from "friendly neighborhood Spider-Man" status to a core Avenger. By the time ''Far From Home'' comes around, [[spoiler:Peter is now extremely reluctant to step up to the role they once played, even if said experienced heroes are either dead, off-world, or retired, which more-or-less ''requires'' Spider-Man to fill that niche.]]

* KillTheCutie: [[spoiler:He's one of the many victims of Thanos's BadassFingersnap at the end of ''Infinity War'', something that weighs heavily on Iron Man's conscience. It's the reminder of his death that sparks Tony's motivation to join the Avengers in one last fight to bring the Snapped victims back.]]

* LittleStowaway: In ''Infinity War'', Tony Stark refers to him as this (being the youngest and least experienced member of our heroes) [[spoiler:on finding he's also hidden on the spacecraft taking them to Thanos, after Tony supposedly sent him back to Earth because he thought it was a SuicideMission.]]

* MoralityPet: While Tony becomes a ParentalSubstitute for him in ''Homecoming'', Peter becomes this for him in a LittleBrotherIsWatching kind of way. He doesn't want Peter emulating his bad behavior and part of that is not behaving badly to begin with. [[spoiler:In ''Endgame'', Tony stares at a picture of him and Peter together as if to show remorse for letting him die. Furthermore, it's implied that the desire to bring Peter back to life is what motivates Tony to work out the time travel plan.]]
* MortalityPhobia: [[spoiler:Peter suitably freaks out as he's being erased by Thanos's use of the Infinity Gauntlet.]]

* NoBodyLeftBehind: [[spoiler:He is disintegrated along with half the universe after Thanos completes the Infinity Gauntlet.]]

** [[spoiler:In ''Endgame'', he doesn't immediately catch on that using the Infinity Gauntlet has drained the life out of Tony Stark. It also marks the first and only time he calls Tony by his first name instead of "Mr. Stark".]]

* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:Not counting Maria Hill and Nick Fury's demises in the post-credits scene, Peter is the last major character to die by Thanos's fingersnap, and by far the most iconic character to be killed off in ''Avengers: Infinity War''. He gets better.]]

* SecretTestOfCharacter: Assumes this at the end of ''Homecoming'' when [[spoiler:Tony presents him with a seat on the Avengers and a brand new upgraded suit, saying a room full of reporters are in the other room waiting for the Spider-Man announcement. Peter, who just went through a HumiliationConga of learning what it means to be Spider-Man in his massively inexperienced state, politely declines while claiming this trope, opting to instead "stay on the ground" like Tony wanted him to do all along. Tony for his part [[SureLetsGoWithThat rolls with it.]] Then Peter leaves, and Pepper walks in from the reporter-filled room to ask where he was, showing Tony was absolutely serious and ''totally botched a legitimate recruitment attempt''.]]

* SorryThatImDying: In ''Infinity War'', [[spoiler:his dying words to Tony Stark are "I'm sorry".]]
* SpiderLimbs: The Iron Spider suit has these. They're mostly used for support rather than for actual combat in ''Infinity War'', [[spoiler:but in ''Endgame'' they're shown to be utterly deadly when the armor is in "Instant Kill Mode", skewering Thanos's monstrous soldiers.]]

** A very dark example appears in ''Infinity War''. Unlike the other [[spoiler:dusted]] heroes, Peter can sense that something very bad is about to happen to him, even telling Tony that he doesn't feel so good [[spoiler:and becomes utterly ''terrified'' when he realizes what that sick feeling actually means.]]

** [[spoiler:''No Way Home'' features it from his perspective. While working on the anti-serum with Osborn to cure him of the Goblin, his world gets hazy and he begins to hear a hum that increases the closer he is to danger, as he looks to make sure May is safe. Finally, he turns around and webs Osborn, whom his Goblin personality has taken over.]]

* SurvivorGuilt: After the events of ''Endgame'', Peter is still grieving [[spoiler:Tony's death as of ''Far From Home'', and while he wants to be the new hero the people needs, he's not sure if he can even live up to the legacy that Tony left behind.]]

** A much darker example happens in ''Infinity War'', when Peter realizes [[spoiler:that he’s crumbling to ash and, understandably, is [[MortalityPhobia absolutely terrified]].]]
--->'''Peter:''' [[spoiler:I-I don't know what's happening. I don't wanna go. I don't wanna go.]] Mister Stark, please! [[spoiler:Please, I don't wanna go! I don't wanna go... I'm sorry...]]

* ThouShallNotKill: Peter invokes this by refusing to go with any of the Instant-Kill protocols his suit provides him with. He also goes out of his way to save the Vulture's life, rather than allowing him to become a SelfDisposingVillain. However, [[spoiler:he doesn't seem to have a problem with killing Ebony Maw]], although [[GodzillaThreshold given the circumstances]], one can hardly blame him. [[spoiler:He also doesn't mind using that same Instant-Kill mode against Thanos's forces (which, granted, are mindless killing machines) when he's resurrected in ''Endgame''.]] In ''No Way Home'', he comes close to breaking this rule after [[spoiler:the Green Goblin kills his Aunt May]], and it's only thanks to [[spoiler:the Raimi-Verse Peter's intervention]] that he doesn't go through with it.

* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: [[spoiler:Peter's sweet nature, moral integrity and kind heart was not enough for the Infinity Gauntlet to spare him from being painfully erased with a snap of Thanos's fingers for five years.]]

** By ''Infinity War'', Peter has gotten significantly more adept at using his powers and manages to hold his own against members of the Black Order, [[spoiler:and even participates in the group battle against Thanos himself on Titan.]]

** [[spoiler:Following Tony's passing after ''Endgame'', Peter's Stark and Iron Spider suits become this.]]

* FunWithAcronyms: E.D.I.T.H. stands for "[[spoiler:'''E'''ven '''D'''ead, '''I''''m '''T'''he '''H'''ero]]".

* AMFMCharacterization: He's a fan of the indie rock band Music/AltJ and builds a suit to Music/ACDC's "Back in Black" (picked by Happy) signifying how he's taking on Tony Stark's mantle. Of course, Peter incorrectly identifies it as belonging to Music/LedZeppelin.
