* {{Psychometry}}: One of Bailey's defining abilities is that his Spider-Sense is significantly more potent that Peter's, enabling the kid to psychically sense ''other'' people in imminent danger and know exactly how they'll be put in peril via [[{{Seers}} precognitive visions]]. The catch is that once his Spider-Sense recognizes that somebody is in need of help, [[BlessedWithSuck it will not stop blaring until Bailey personally intervenes]]. On the flip side, the actual SpiderSense aspect is nonexistent, as he doesn't notice Arcade's truck driving up right behind him because he's busy arguing with Peter over the phone in a flashback.

* FragileSpeedster: Bailey's lack of web-shooters has taught him to be even more nimble and acrobatic than Peter. This, combined with his size and 360 degree field of vision, make him exceptionally hard to hit. But Bailey lacks a proper SpiderSense to give him CombatClairvoyance on top of being a spindly ten-year-old. When pitted against the Superior Spider-Man by Mr. Negative, it just takes one punch from Otto to leave Bailey reeling.

* LivingLieDetector: Bailey's {{Psychometry}}-type Spider-Sense allow him to indirectly act as one of these, as his visions of the future are accurate enough to pick apart lies and falsehoods. The Superior Spider-Man feared that Bailey's powers would reveal how Otto took over Peter's body and refused to let Bailey touch him.

* {{Psychometry}}: One of Bailey's defining abilities is that his spider-sense is significantly more potent that Peter's, enabling the kid to psychically sense ''other'' people in imminent danger and know exactly how they'll be put in peril via [[{{Seers}} precognitive visions]]. The catch is that once his Spider-Sense recognizes that somebody is in need of help, [[BlessedWithSuck it will not stop blaring until Bailey personally intervenes]]. On the flip side, the actual SpiderSense aspect is nonexistent, as he doesn't notice Arcade's truck driving up right behind him because he's busy arguing with Peter over the phone in a flashback.

* PintSizedPowerhouse: Spider-Boy is so short that he has to tell Aunt May to look down to make eye contact with him. He's also described as being nearly as strong as Spider-Man.

* RedheadsAreUncool: Bailey is Spider-Man's redhead KidSidekick with a similarly poor reputation. His paralyzing fangs get him labeled a monster by the Daily Bugle and Peter barely tolerates Bailey at first. This is on top of being RetGone from history so no one can remember him. Christina jokes about this while Bailey is grousing about his reputation, calling him something way worse than a vampire: a ginger.

* MistakenForRelated: After tackling Aunt May out of the way of the Big Wheel, May mistakes Bailey for Spider-Man's son and calls Spider-Man a fine father.
* MommasBoy: Bailey was very close to his mom and thinks about her often. His most prized possession was the sole photo of the two of them together and he's heartbroken when he discovers that it has vanished from his F.E.A.S.T. locker along with every other trace of his existence. Her current whereabouts are unknown, but Bailey stubbornly believes that she's still out there looking for him.

* FieryRedhead: He has curly red hair under the mask and is exeptionally [[HotBlooded bombastic]] when fighting crime.

* HomelessHero: Given that he owns a locker at F.E.A.S.T., it's implied that Bailey was homeless and orphaned even before he was RetGone from reality. He's familiar with Aunt May because of her time volunteering at the shelter and doesn't know where he'll stay when the other workers don't recognize him. But after he saves a girl staying at the shelter, she vouches for him after he reveals his SecretIdentity to her, staying with her family in the shelter.

* {{Unperson}}: PlayedForDrama. Bailey has been severed from the Web of Life and Destiny for so long that any memory or record of his existence has essentially been wiped off the face of Earth-616. Everybody he knows and loves treats him like a total stranger, what little worldly belongings he owns at the F.E.A.S.T. center is gone, including the [[PreciousPhoto picture of his late mother]], and all of his attempts to reconnect with Peter has been [[PlotMandatedFriendshipFailure firmly rebuked]]. This leaves the kid [[HatesBeingAlone so starved for companionship]] that he unmasks himself to Christina Xu, a total stranger he had just rescued from the Inner Demons, just so that ''somebody'' can know him.

* CloningBlues: Jackal stole one of her legs and used it to create Princess and the other Spider-Queens.

!Tropes

* DependingOnTheArtist: Bailey's physique is largely dependent on the artist. Paco Medina, Humberto Ramos, and Luciano Vecchio all give Bailey a lithe build reflective of his past as an impoverished kid who was imprisoned in a scientific facility. Meanwhile, [[https://cdn.marvel.com/content/1x/sm2022007_secondprint_cover.jpg the reprinted cover]] of Slott's ''Spider-Man #7'' gives Bailey much more muscular arms and legs, as does Kaare Adnrew's [[https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/inC.M3aljmOKKEfQ0yWjbA--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTEzNDg7aD0yMDQ2O2NmPXdlYnA-/https://media.zenfs.com/en/superherohype_979/cd2a86d7a8023cfb828f8484ccb7b03e foil variant cover]] for ''Spider-Boy #1''.

--> ''"Everything. I wanted what you had for myself, Parker. The things I could do with it... with power like that... but what I got was different. Something better, Parker. Something worse. Something that could live inside, that could liquefy the innards of a man and walk the Earth within his hollow shell... something that could watch. And wait. And fester."''

* AnimalisticAbomination: Notable in that he used to be human, but is now a SpiderSwarm version of TheWormThatWalks.
* ArcVillain: Only appears in the three-issue arc "Tangled Web: The Thousand."
* AxCrazy: The consumption and death of his mother at his hands may have been an accidental killing, but what he did to his dad and girlfriend was perpetrated willingly and for little more than sick kicks. After going underground to get used to his new state and to build up his strength for Spider Man, he spent his time taking his violent urges out on the homeless population and whatever unfortunate happened to cross his path.
* BedTrick: In a particularly horrifying case, it's implied through the art that he had sex with his father while possessing his mother's corpse before killing him and taking over his body.
* BodyHorror: His powers embody this trope.
* BreakThemByTalking: What Carl tried to do to Peter during the time he bullied him, in addition to the physical violence. Emphasis on ''tried'', as already back in school Peter, along with everyone else, saw right through him and knew he was nothing but a sadistic and pathetic sociopath who only knew cruelty and fear, and was only a threat to Peter on account of his larger size and greater physical strength.
* BullyBrutality: During his EvilGloating, King nonchalantly recalls doing such things to Peter as forcing him to eat dog crap, dangling him off the Williamsburg Bridge, and ''holding a knife to his crotch'' [[DisproportionateRetribution purely because he messed up his math paper]].
* ThisCannotBe: When Carl is about to take over Peter's body, he [[BreakThemByTalking gives a speech about how Peter is still weak and pitiful compared to him even after getting superpowers. Peter stuns him with a single sentence]].
-->'''Spider-Man''': Carl...[[PreAssKickingOneLiner I'm not afraid of you at all]].\\
'''Carl''': But....
* CardCarryingJerkass: In high school, Carl was an even more vicious bully to Peter than Flash Thompson; in the present, he revels in the memory of how much he made Peter's life miserable and freely admits he was a "rotten kid." As the Thousand, he's crossed the line into CardCarryingVillain.
* CardCarryingVillain: He acknowledges himself as a supervillain after admitting he killed his parents to Spidey.
-->'''Thousand''': You remember what a rotten kid I was, Parker. It's hardly surprising I turned out to be a rotten supervillain, too.\\
'''Spider-Man''': A supervillain?\\
'''Thousand''': I think I fit the profile.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Having seen what the radioactive spider bite did to Peter, Carl decided to break into the exhibition building to acquire one for himself. It was only after he did so that he realized that he had no idea how to irradiate a spider, and the spider that bit Peter was dead, which left him with "Plan B" - eating the spider's corpse.
* DisposableVagrant: His main source of nourishment.
* EntitledBastard: He's insanely jealous of Peter's fame and power as Spider-Man, firmly convinced such things are rightfully his.
* EvilCounterpart: To Flash Thompson, who does not appear in the story. Both bullied Peter, but while Flash did so due to [[FreudianExcuse his troubled home life and own insecurities]], Carl did it simply [[ForTheEvulz because he was a sadistic sociopath]]. Both idolized and wanted to be like Spider-Man, and while Flash looks back on his time as a bully with embarrassment and shame, Carl revels in the memories of his past misdeeds.
* EvenTheLovingHeroHasHatedOnes: Spider-Man normally doesn't hate anyone, and even against the evilest of foes, he's still open to delivering wisecracks and jokes at their expense. With Carl? Peter straight-up calls him pathetic with a blunt and serious tone, never making a single joke once when fighting against him. Considering Carl's history as an unrepentant bully towards Peter, his shamelessness about hurting others, and his insanely self-absorbed reason for wanting publicity, it's no wonder why Spider-Man had such contemptuous and disdainful thoughts toward him.
* EvilGloating: After biting Spider-Man and paralyzing him, he [[BoundAndGagged ties him up]] and goes on a long monologue, explaining his origins, his powers, and how he plans to KillAndReplace Spidey. This, combined with the interruption of Peter's landlord, who King promptly devours, buys Spidey enough time for the poison to wear off. Spidey even lampshades it before breaking free and attacking him.
-->'''Spider-Man''': You're in love with the sound of your own voice. You strut around smirking like a two-year-old who's just finished potty training. You can't resist laying out every detail of your descent into evil and your big, bad plan... and you get so into it you forget your paralyzing poison is about to wear off.
* FatalFlaw: Carl's pathological need to gloat and grind Peter's face to the dirt when he has him at his mercy. See the EvilGloating entry above.
* FatBastard: As Carl, and Peter's landlord Mr. Ambrose.
* ForTheEvulz: Regularly bullied and tormented Peter in high school for the hell of it. In his current state, he's just as bad, admitting he's a [[CardCarryingVillain supervillain]] and recalling how he [[WouldHurtAChild ate children]] with a smile on his face.
* GiantSpider: The main spider is about the size of a human head.
* GreenEyedMonster: Solely motivated by envy for Peter's life as Spider-Man, believing it to be perfect.
* HumanoidAbomination: When he’s wearing his latest victim and pretending to be human, he perfectly embodies this. He can act and look perfectly normal up until the moment he feels he has the upper hand. At which point he can distort and warp his host body ([[BodyHorror which is little more than a bag of skin]] [[TheWormThatWalks animated by his spider form]]) into a varied array of horrific configurations to overtake his opponents. He’s also completely divorced from humanity both in his [[AnimalisticAbomination natural]] [[SpiderSwarm state]] and [[AxCrazy mental]] [[TheSociopath state]], as well as believes himself to be vastly superior both to normal people and Spider-Man alike.
* HateSink: He's a vile, predatory abomination both literally and figuratively. Even among Peter's worst foes like Norman Osborn and Carnage, the Thousand has none of their bravado or even ''slightly'' sympathetic qualities, being a vicious, entitled bully who kills and torments for the pettiest of reasons.
* HighVoltageDeath: Spider-Man electrocutes him, reducing the Thousand to the One. While swearing vengeance, the remaining spider [[TrampledUnderfoot is stepped on]] by an oblivious passerby.
* HiveMind: A single mind in one thousand little bodies.
* ICantSenseTheirPresence: He's immune to the Spider-Sense.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Incorrigibly selfish, using everyone else for his entitled pleasure and punishing them for failing to satisfy his wants.
* KillAndReplace: His plan for Spider-Man.
* KarmicDeath: Despite twisting himself into a hideous abomination and going on a killing spree, all with the end goal of killing Spider Man to take his fame and glory for himself, it’s gloriously cathartic for him to end his pathetic quest for recognition as a smear on the bottom of an average citizen’s shoe, crushed to death as his killer continues on with their day blissfully unaware of his presence.
* KilledOffForReal: As if to demonstrate how unworthy he is even to be a supervillain, he gets killed at the end of his introductory story and has never come back.
* MadnessMantra: "It should have been me!"
* MetaOrigin: Ever wonder about what happened to the spider that bit Peter?
* NeverMyFault: Blames Peter for his condition and how it led to him devouring his girlfriend, even though he [[TranshumanTreachery immediately dismisses normal human lives as worthless]] and, as Peter points out, he had a choice every step of the way.
* OrificeInvasion: His spiders invade a person's body this way, devour their innards, and [[ReplicantSnatching wear their leftover flesh as a suit]].
* TheParalyzer: His bite can temporarily immobilize others.
* ParentalIncest: It's heavily implied he, while puppeteering his mother's corpse, pulled a BedTrick on his father. ''Ewww...''
* PsychopathicManchild: For all his power, King is nothing more than a SchoolyardBullyAllGrownUp, utterly fixated on Peter and insanely jealous of his fame and glory as Spider-Man. During their fight, he rants about how he believes ''he'' should have become Spider-Man and how he deserves Peter's "perfect life." Spidey even lampshades it, remarking that Carl hasn't changed at all from the pathetic bully he was when they were kids.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: In addition to what Spidey says to Carl before breaking free and attacking him, there's also what he says when he's laying into him.
-->'''Spider-Man''': I remember you, Carl <punches him in the face>. Not quite the same way you do <punches him in the stomach>. You think the kids at school ''liked you''? You think they liked that you picked on kids like ''me''? You were ''pathetic'', Carl! You didn't know how to make friends! You were terrified of girls! All you knew was ''cruelty'' and ''fear'', and making people nervous to get your attention! And look how far you've come, Carl! <kicks him in the chin> ''You're just the same old'' SADIST ''you always were!!''
* RedEyesTakeWarning: The spiders.
* SchoolyardBullyAllGrownUp: Except he never did grow up, physically or mentally.
* SelfMadeOrphan: After becoming the Thousand, he murders his own parents and takes over their bodies.
* SelfServingMemory: Like most bullies, is under a delusion that he was popular. He violently denies Peter's argument how pathetic everyone, including the other bullies, actually found him.
* SmugSnake: He's nowhere near the threat he thinks he is.
* TheSociopath: He only cares for himself and what he wants, and is obsessed with becoming Spider-Man, believing he's entitled to the power and position Peter has. Other human lives are nothing but stepping stones to satisfy his wants, and he casually admits to Spidey that he ate dozens of people to grow stronger, including his girlfriend, his parents, and [[WouldHurtAChild children]].
* SpiderSwarm: The Thousand is a swarm of spiders in a human shell.
* StalkerWithoutACrush: He stalked Peter and followed his exploits as Spider-Man for ''years''.
* TrampledUnderfoot: His last spider gets squished.
* UndignifiedDeath: He escapes Spider-Man's electrical attack with one spider left and vows to return and exact revenge... only to get squished by a random bystander who didn't even realize he was there.
* WouldHurtAChild: He willingly admits to Spider-Man that some of his victims have been children, which is far from the only atrocity he admits to in the long-winded account of his past.
* TheWormThatWalks: His true form is a swarm of a thousand of normal-sized spiders and one big one; he wears the skin of anyone he kills, after devouring their insides.

* DramaticIrony: She wants to make Spider-Man her mate after being impressed by him, and while holding him prisoner attempts to seduce him and make him fall in love with her, forcing a second kiss on him that he briefly returns. But it doesn't go well, with him rejecting her and her lashing out at him angrily for his disrespect before leaving him alone in the dark, with their "date" [[BadDate clearly ending on a bad note for both of them]]. Immediately after this event though, it is revealed to the readers but unknown to her and Spider-Man that their fight outside in the previous issue, and their first kiss, had been captured on public news. It quickly spread, and while some were confused why they went from beating each other up to making out in public, many of the citizens thought it was a "beautiful moment of love" between the two. This means the citizens mistakenly believed Spider-Man and The Queen were in love and were a couple now, like Queen wanted them to be, with some citizens even ''supporting'' the two being together. For added irony, ''everyone'' mistakenly believed that it was Spider-Man who initiated the kiss with The Queen, thinking that he suddenly kissed her during the middle of the fight between them, when actually she was the one who forced the kiss on him after defeating him.

--> ''"I get it. And you're right. Spider-Man doesn't need a sidekick. But this sidekick really needs a Spider-Man."''

* BadassAdorable: He's a cute kid with YouthfulFreckles, [[FieryRedhead curly red hair]], and the usual suite of spider-powers that allows him to [[CuteBruiser wipe the floor with hardened criminals]] without much hassle.

* HomelessHero: Given that he owns a locker at F.E.A.S.T., it's implied that Spider-Boy was homeless and orphaned even before he was RetGone from reality. He's familiar with Aunt May because of her time volunteering at the shelter and doesn't know where he'll stay when the other workers don't recognize him. But after he saves a girl staying at the shelter, she vouches for him after he reveals his SecretIdentity to her, staying with her family in the shelter.

* HulkingOut: He claims to be able to "monster-out" but he'd rather not do so. What little he does show involves retractable fangs with paralyzing venom and eight additional eyes that give him virtually 360 degrees of vision.

* KidSidekick: He's Spider-Man's long lost sidekick. According to Bailey, he's been fighting crime as Spider-Boy for three years, almost a whole ''[[ImprobableAge third]]'' of his life so far.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: She plays with this between her and Spider-Man. When they first met, one of the first things he did was crack one of his usual jokes while trying to web her. This left her unimpressed with him, and she kicked him in the leg and stood over him, threatening him not to do that again or else. After he manages to [[LoveAtFirstPunch impress her in their resulting fight though]], she seems a lot more open to his quirks. While she [[CaptiveDate attempts to romance him while holding him captive]], and he cracks a joke at her expense, claiming he doesn't date "raving psychopaths", she actually laughs at it and admits she finds his sense of humor "cute", calling it a "bonus". It is unclear how genuine she was being with this and how much was just a façade while attempting to seduce him, but she does try to crack her own jokes to Spider-Man in a later encounter with him, possibly trying to emulate her "lover".

* EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor: Her attempt to crack a few jokes to Spider-Man while flirting with him come off as very twisted, highlighting her disturbing nature. She tells Spider-Man as he is mutating that he can be ver Valentine and she won't eat him afterwards, before immediately saying that is just a joke and she knows how he loves them. Then while she is carrying the unconscious and defeated Spider-Man back to her hive, she snarks "I told you you'd fall for me, and you did. Like a ton of bricks."

* WorthyOpponent: She decided she liked Spider-Man enough to make him her mate shortly after meeting him, with most of this encounter being her beating him up, telling him she can tell he is a survivor like her and respects him for that. After knocking him unconscious she catches him in a hug, instead of letting him fall to the floor, and comforts him by telling him not to be shamed of his defeat before kissing him, beginning the process that will make him her mate. Downplayed a little by telling him [[CondescendingCompassion he never stood a chance against her]] and becoming violently angry at him when he rejects her love.

A being at the centre of the Web of Life and Destiny, the Master Weaver's duty is to maintain and spin the Great Web that powers all of the Marvel Multiverse's spider-people. Captured and enslaved by the Inheritors, the Master Weaver was forced to aid them in their attempted genocide of the totemic spider deities connected to the Web. The Master Weaver's identity is revealed to be the future self of the Inheritor Karn, and while [[ComicBook/{{Silk}} Cindy Moon]] contemplates taking his place after he is murdered by [[ComicBook/SuperiorSpiderMan Otto Octavius]], Karn's younger self decides to trap himself in a time loop in order to atone for his own actions.

She was amongst the Pro-Registration heroes in the ''ComicBook/CivilWar'', acting as [[Characters/MarvelComicsCarolDanvers Ms. Marvel]]'s TagalongKid, and while questioning her worst moments, she continued to be on Carol's side, the two helping each other out, despite her father's misgivings. Carol once saved her from the mind control of Puppet Master, solidifying their relations.

* ChildSoldier: She was technically one for Carol during ''ComicBook/CivilWar'', which [[EveryoneHasStandards even Tony Stark briefly spoke against it]] and only reluctantly agreed as long as Carol supervised her.

The retirement, however was cut short when she, along with Jessica, was attacked by Charlotte Witter, and she was rendered wheelchair-bound. However, she still took a resistance and mentored the 3rd Spider-Woman, Mattie Franklin. Some time later, she was involved with the ComicBook/CivilWar, joining Iron Man's Pro-Registration side and taking the name "Arachne", but eventually she revealed that she was TheMole for the Anti-Registration side. Before she could change sides, however, she was beaten down by ComicBook/MsMarvel and was forcefully separated from Rachel as her punishment. The loss of Rachel caused Julia to nearly slip into insanity: she broke out of the prison in the Negative Zone and went into Colorado to search for Rachel. In a fit of rage, she attacked a superpowered girl named Araña, but her instability cost her victory and she was beaten, whereas she met Ms. Marvel again, who apologized and promised to search for Rachel. But despite so, and even the success of reuniting with Rachel, it was clear that the friendship between Julia and Carol was strained.

--> ''"You are much too bright to be asking such stupid questions."''

* AdaptationalBadass: In the mainline comics, she's wheelchair bound old woman with clairvoyance and telepathy, on the [[WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries 90's cartoon.]], she's a cosmic being the same race as Beyonder, with clairvoyance and telepathy.

* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: She talks in deliberately vague ways in the [[WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries 90's cartoon]], while in the mainline comics she tries to be as helpful as she can, and that also affected how both versions of Spider-Man view her, as the 90's cartoon version is annoyed at how unhelpful and arrogant she can be, while mainline comics Spider-Man sees her as an ally he's on friendly terms with. However, it's [[JustifiedTrope justified]] to a certain extent, in the 90's cartoon she's trying to find a Spider-Man strong enough to defeat Spider-Carnage, so she can't be too helpful since he needs to be competent on his own, while in the comics she mostly just helps out with the current situation without any further reasoning.

* BeAllMySinsRemembered: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]. When her and Mattie were imprisoned by the Kravinovs, Cassandra was too ashamed to admit to Mattie she gave in to their tortures and told them how to attack the other Spiders.

* InformedAttribute: Was said [[https://i.imgur.com/rtzYYtL.png at least once]] to be one of the strongest telepaths in the world, but has no feats to back that up, mostly her use of telepathy was for just for basic communication, which any telepath can do. Her biggest feats are making others forget specific memories, and managing to establish communication with aunt May when she was dying in Back in Black, but those pale in comparison to what the strongest [[ComicBook/XMen mutant telepaths]] can do, even the ones who aren't Omega-level.

** Was briefly brought back in [[ComicBook/DeadNoMoreTheCloneConspiracy Clone Conspiracy]], but refused to take Jackal's pills that would keep her alive. Both times, Julia was with her on her last moments.
* TortureAlwaysWorks: A victim of this. On Grim Hunt she was captured and tortured for weeks by the Kravinovs, and because of her powers, she saw herself eventually giving in, which she eventually did. [[HereWeGoAgain Then it happened again]] in [[ComicBook/DeadNoMoreTheCloneConspiracy Clone Conspiracy]] when Electro briefly tortured her to learn where Prowler is.

!!! '''Alter Ego:''' Bailey Briggs
!!! '''First Appearance:''' ''ComicBook/SpiderMan2022'' #7

* {{Psychometry}}: One of Bailey's defining abilities is that his spider-sense is significantly more potent that Peter's, enabling the kid to psychically sense ''other'' people in imminent danger and know exactly how they'll be put in peril via [[{{Seers}} precognitive visions]]. The catch is that once his Spider-Sense recognizes that somebody is in need of help, [[BlessedWithSuck it will not stop blaring until Bailey personally intervenes]]. On the flip side, the actual SpiderSense aspect seems to be toned down, to the point that he doesn't notice Arcade's truck driving up right behind him because he's busy arguing with Peter over the phone in a flashback.

* SuperheroSpeciation: Bailey was not bitten by a spider but instead had DNA directly spliced into him. As a result, he can sprout eight additional eyes to give him 360 degrees of vision and his SpiderSense acts as a form of {{Psychometry}} at the cost of having the danger sense aspects diminished. He also refuses to use webshooters because of a NoodleIncident where he embarrassed himself with them, leaving him to get around solely through his superhuman agility and acrobatics.

* FunPersonified: Bailey often treats superhero work less seriously than he should, posing for social media and referring to tasks given to him by his SpiderSense as "sidequests". He's not at all concerned when he's kidnapped by Arcade and treats escaping Murderworld as though he were at the amusement park. To some extent, this attitude is a coping mechanism, as he admits that his family never had the money to actually visit one.

* SuperSenses: Due to his additional eyes, Bailey has virtually 360 degrees of vision. He boasts that this makes it impossible for anyone to sneak up on him. But this is only useful if [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome he's paying attention]], as he gets captured instantly when Bailey too busy arguing with Peter to notice the truck coming up from behind him.

* FunPersonfied: Bailey often treats superhero work less seriously than he should. He's not at all concerned when he's kidnapped by Arcade and treats escaping Murderworld as though he were at the amusement park. To some extent, this attitude is a coping mechanism, as he admits that his family never had the money to actually visit one.

* MouthyKid: Bailey zigzags between this and BrattyHalfPint because of how egotistic he can be. While he likes to brag about himself, he often does make salient points about Peter. He calls out Norman for cranking up Peter's SpiderSense to frankly unhealthy levels. When Peter dismisses him, Bailey uses Peter as a jungle gym to demonstrate that Peter treating him as JustAKid is flawed.
