[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/GwenStacy2_9492.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''"I'm in trouble."'']]
!!!'''Played by:''' Creator/EmmaStone
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KariWahlgren (first game), Mireya Mendoza (Latin-American Spanish dub), Creator/YokoHonna (Japanese dub), Elisabeth Ventura (European French dub)
!!!'''Appears In:''' ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan'' | ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2''

->''"My wish for you is to become hope. People need that. And even if we fail, what better way is there to live?"''

Smart, charismatic and confident, Gwen is the chief intern at Oscorp, working in the same department as her mentor Dr. Connors, and takes her job very seriously. She becomes Peter's first and only real friend at school, and they awkwardly and clumsily grow closer to each other. Her life takes a complicated turn as she watches both Peter and Dr. Connors undergo radical transformations and finds herself becoming Peter's SecretKeeper.
----
* ActionSurvivor: She takes after her father in bravery and ability, but isn't badass enough to be a full-fledged ActionGirl.
* AdaptationalBadass: The original Gwen, before being forever doomed with her death, had a number of sudden personality shifts to make her into a rounded character but was mostly known for being rich, elegant, beautiful, overemotional and teary-eyed, and often getting kidnapped by the bad guys. This Gwen, however, is active, smart, and completely laid-back, a far cry from her 616 counterpart.
* AdaptationalIntelligence: Comics Gwen was depicted as a science student at least in some issues, but film Gwen is a budding genius: school valedictorian, headhunted by Oxford, teen scientist...
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. While Gwen in the comics is remembered as a NiceGirl, she started out as a {{Tsundere}} AlphaBitch and generally had an inconsistent personality. This Gwen starts out as a NiceGirl and stays that way.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: This Gwen Stacy is more or less an original character who has almost nothing in common with her comic book counterpart (both original and ''Ultimate'') and in many cases is the complete opposite. Some examples include the fact that Peter tells her his identity from the start (which he never did in the comics since he always felt she wouldn't accept it due to the fact that she was not very fond of Spider-Man) and [[spoiler:Gwen doesn't hold Spider-Man responsible for her father's death]] (which she did in both the original and Ultimate version).
* AdaptedOut: She doesn't appear in the tie-in game to the second movie.
* AllWomenLoveShoes: She has a lot of shoes in her room. Peter awkwardly points it out.
* BadassBookworm: In ''The Amazing Spider-Man'', she [[spoiler:makes sure the cure is ready and improvises a ''flamethrower'' to drive the Lizard away from her.]] More so in the sequel, in which she [[spoiler:helps defeat Electro by restarting the power grid, causing him to overcharge.]]
* BigDamnHeroes: She saves Spider-Man from being slowly fried to death by Electro by [[CarFu ramming the latter with a police car.]]
* TheBigDamnKiss: Peter pulls her close ''with his web-shooters'' and kisses her when she's walking away, and without warning. By the way, that's how he tells her he's Spider-Man too.
* {{Bookworm}}: She often reads in school during her free time, and her room is filled with lines and lines of books.
* BrainsAndBrawn: The Brains to Peter's Brawn when they team up against the bad guys. She takes care of the logistics part, such as finishing the cure and controlling the surge of electric power.
* CharacterDeath: The most tragically iconic moment in both TASM films.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: When Peter first tries to tell her he's Spider-Man (not that he managed to say it anyway).
-->'''Peter:''' I've been bitten...\\
'''Gwen:''' Me too...
* CompositeCharacter: Of herself and Mary Jane Watson. Crossed with AdaptationPersonalityChange and a healthy dose of {{Irony}}. While Sam Raimi admitted that Creator/KirstenDunst's Mary Jane had some of the original Gwen's personality (more serious and emotional) with Mary Jane's background, Emma Stone's Gwen Stacy has her character's background but MJ's personality (light-hearted, joking, matching Peter for snark). The fact that Peter reveals his identity to her early on in the first film comes from ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan'' where Peter immediately told Mary Jane his identity (and itself based on the fact that the original MJ had known Peter's identity since high school via Revision and was the first one to accept both Peter and Spider-Man). Indeed, [[http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=47030 Spider-Man writer]] Creator/GerryConway outright noted the change in an interview.
* DaChief: For the Oscorp interns. She's the one who tells you to TurnInYourBadge when you're caught sneaking off the tour.
* DamselOutOfDistress:
** [[spoiler:She directly ignores Peter's order to leave Oscorp, instead deciding to help make sure everyone escapes the building before the Lizard gets there, and staying to make sure the cure is finished. When she's hiding from the Lizard in Oscorp, she has a lighter and an igniting agent handy, just in case she gets caught.]]
** [[spoiler:As in the comics, being a DamselOutOfDistress or even a rescued DistressedDamsel is subverted in the most heart-wrenching way in the second movie.]]
* DatingWhatDaddyHates: The daughter of the DaChief is dating a vigilante, but it's not that she intended to.
* DeadAlternateCounterpart: To the version on [[Characters/SpiderManTrilogy Earth-96283]].
* DeadpanSnarker: Comes with being played by Emma Stone.
-->'''Gwen:''' Oh, I'm sorry I didn't take us to the Bahamas of hiding places.
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: [[spoiler:While her general cause of death is still the same as the classic comics, her killer is changed from Norman to Harry and her fall happened in a clock tower, not a bridge.]]
* DidIJustSayThatOutLoud: She has a moment like this when she [[spoiler:blurts out Peter's name while he's dressed as Spider-Man in the middle of the street.]] Luckily, no one heard.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:Realizing that Peter won't reach her in time, she just closes her eyes before making an impact.]]
* FirstLove: To Peter, just like in the comics.
* {{Flanderization}}: Her intelligence and scientific skills in the second movie are amped up when compared to the comics, shows, or even the first film.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: In the second film, she gives a valedictorian speech [[spoiler:opening on the premise that they, the graduates, are not immortal.]] ''Ouch''.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Blonde and unambiguously a good person.
* HeroicBystander: [[spoiler:When the Lizard attacks the school, she hits him on the head with a school trophy to help Peter.]]
* HiddenDepths: In addition to being a scientific genius, she was a member of Midtown High's debate team.
* HotScientist: She works as an intern at Oscorp. Peter (unintentionally) finding out about this is what officially kickstarted their intimate flirtations.
* IconicOutfit: Gwen wears the green overcoat, black shirt, purple skirt, black headband she wore from an iconic story during the second film. [[spoiler:And as said story is titled ''ComicBook/TheNightGwenStacyDied'', this officially seals her fate.]]
* KillTheCutie: [[spoiler:At the end of ''The Amazing Spider-Man 2'', in a similar manner as she died in [[ComicBook/TheNightGwenStacyDied the comics]].]]
* TheLancer: She's the closest thing that Spider-Man has to a sidekick.
* LittleMissSnarker: Less due to the script and more due to it being Creator/EmmaStone, [[ThrowItIn a master of improv.]]
* TheLostLenore: [[spoiler:Her death devastates Peter to the point of him quitting his superhero career for five months. He is clearly still in pain as he watches the recording of her grad speech.]]
* LoveInterest: For Peter as of the end of the first film.
* MoralityChain: [[spoiler:In ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'', Peter admits to the other Peters that without Gwen, he has started to lose himself in his rage, punching a lot harder than he did before.]]
* MsFanservice: As per usual for Gwen, she's a very attractive blonde.
* NerdsAreSexy: Deliberately called attractive by [[AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents both Aunt May and Uncle Ben]], and is working in the science division at Oscorp.
* NiceGirl: A defining trait of hers. Gwen intervenes when Flash is bullying Peter, goes out of her way to be a good girlfriend to him and is also the first person to be aware of his SecretIdentity. Also, she is one of the only two people to have ever been kind to Max Dillon, the other being Spider-Man himself.
* OutnumberedSibling: Has three brothers, two younger and one, Phillip, of ambiguously similar age.
* PrivateTutor: She tutors Flash in the first movie, although in which subjects are not mentioned. She uses this to embarrass him enough to get him to stop bullying Peter.
-->'''Gwen:''' ''[to Flash]'' I hope you've been doing your homework. Last time I was ''very'' disappointed in you.
* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:Her death illustrates not only the fact that Peter can't prevent bad things from happening even after accepting his responsibility as a superhero, but also the consequences of giving in to his selfish desires as negating his promise to George Stacy's last wish to be with Gwen is what ultimately lead to her death in the first place.]]
* SecretKeeper: Peter lets her in on his secret identity.
* ShesGotLegs: Just like her comic book counterpart, Gwen (or Emma Stone for that manner) wears outfits (such as skirts with thigh-high socks and boots) that highlight her gorgeous, long-toned yet shapely legs.
* SweetTooth: Apparently, she loves chocolate so much that she once wished she could live in a chocolate house.
* TearsOfJoy: Her eyes are watery during Peter's grand LoveConfession and when he decides to come with her to England in the second film.
* TeenGenius: While still in high school, she's a promising scientist interning at Oscorp under Dr. Curtis Connors himself and is able to synthesize a cure to the Lizard serum. She's also a capable strategist and investigator, able to improvise a plan to evacuate the other Oscorp employees and drive the Lizard away, connect Max's disappearance to Electro's attack, and deduce how to insulate Peter's web-shooters against Electro's powers.
* TheSmartGirl: More intelligent than Peter, at least in the second film. Emma Stone even analyzed their relationship in [[WordOfGod an interview]] for ''Total Film'':
-->'''Emma Stone:''' [[BrainsAndBrawn He's the muscle, she's the brains.]]
* TwoFirstNames: Gwen and Stacy are both common given names.
* UptownGirl: It's subtle, but Gwen and her family are wealthier than the Parkers based on where they live and the food they eat, which Peter showed he was unfamiliar with.
* WhatTheHellHero:
** Lays one on Peter after [[spoiler:the death of her father for not going to his funeral, but forgives him after she pieces together that her dad must have told him to stay away from her and therefore, keep her safe as his dying wish.]]
** She gives him several more throughout the second film due to increasing bad decisions on his part.

!!Captain George Stacy, NYPD
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/GeorgeStacy_2092.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''"I stand for law and order. That's what I stand for."'']]
!!!'''Played by:''' Creator/DenisLeary
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Oscar Gómez (Latin-American Spanish dub), François Dunoyer (European French dub)
!!!'''Appears In:''' ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan'' | ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2'' (flashback)

->''"Thirty-eight of New York's finest, versus one guy... in a unitard?"''

Gwen's father and TheCaptain of the NYPD.
----
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Overlaps with AdaptationalJerkass. In the comics, he was openly supportive of Spider-Man and Peter, being the first character to play the same role for him that Commissioner Gordon does in Batman stories. Here, George considers Spider-Man a dangerous vigilante. [[spoiler:Additionally, unlike the comics, where his LastWords were to tell Peter to look after Gwen; here, they were to tell Peter to keep away from her so his enemies won't come after her.]]
* BadassNormal: Apparently, there is a very small degree of AuthorityEqualsAsskicking. [[spoiler:Though he doesn't really get his moment until very late in the movie when he takes on The Lizard one-on-one armed with just a shotgun and liquid nitrogen. However, [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice it doesn't end well...]]]]
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:He shows up ''just'' in the nick of time to save Peter's ass from the Lizard, armed with nothing but a shotgun.]]
* ByTheBookCop: Who isn't pleased by the presence of a vigilante running in the streets.
* CompositeCharacter: This version of George Stacy seems to share a few of J. Jonah Jameson's characteristics. Namely, whilst in the comics, George Stacy was much more respectful of Spider-Man, here he openly voices his distrust of Spider-Man for wearing a mask and at one point even calls him "a menace", two things which have been more commonly associated with Jameson's various incarnations. Also fused with his ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan'' incarnation in that he's younger and a still-active member of the NYPD.
* DaChief: Highly respected by the NYPD. [[spoiler:Even after his death.]]
* DeadAlternateCounterpart: To the version on [[Characters/SpiderManTrilogy Earth-96283]].
* DeadpanSnarker: Definitely has his moments.
* DeathBySecretIdentity: [[spoiler:He dies not long after learning Spider-Man's real identity. Unusual in that he's a HeroAntagonist rather than a villain.]]
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: Depending on the universe, he's either [[Franchise/SpiderMan killed by falling debris caused by Dr. Octopus losing control of his tentacles]] or [[ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan a bomb tossed by a Spider-Man imposter]]. Here, the Lizard kills him by stabbing him with his claws.
* DonutMessWithACop: {{Defied}}. "Do you think we just sit around and eat doughnuts all day?"
* GeniusBruiser: While not on the same levels as Peter and Gwen, just by knowing what he's up against, he knew that using his gun to set off the [=CO2=] around Conners would freeze him, slowing down his regeneration in the process. [[spoiler:That only slowed the Lizard down though.]]
* GoodIsNotNice: He's a ByTheBookCop to the end. That doesn't mean he has time to play nice.
* GoodParents: To Gwen. He really does love his daughter (see PapaWolf below).
* HeroAntagonist: He wants Spider-Man arrested, even though Peter's the only one who can conceivably stop the Lizard.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Holds off the Lizard with his shotgun for Peter to release the cure and ends up impaled by Lizard's claws.]]
%% * InspectorJavert: The Javert to Spider-Man's Valjean. [[spoiler:Until Peter reveals his identity as Spider-Man.]]
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:By the Lizard's claws.]]
* JerkassHasAPoint: He has good reason to hate Spider-Man since his vigilante-style form of punishment is interfering with the cops' methods and techniques to uncovering bigger operations. [[spoiler:Not to mention when he discovers that Peter is really Spider-Man and what his motives are, he not only lets him go after initially capturing him, but proceeds to take on The Lizard all by himself with a shotgun to both assist Peter in saving the city and risk his life for him.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He might hate Spider-Man, but he does love his daughter and is a competent cop. [[spoiler:He also lets Spider-Man fight the Lizard after revealing his identity to him.]]
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:By the Lizard.]]
* LanternJawOfJustice: Fittingly for DaChief of New York's Finest.
* LastRequest: [[spoiler:Dying from the Lizard's claw wounds, he asks Peter to stay away from Gwen, [[ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies to keep her safe from his dangerous double life]]. Notably, this is the inverse of what he told Peter to do in the comics, where he said that Peter needed to look out for her more than ever.]]
* PapaWolf: He's very protective of Gwen, initially hesitant about researching Dr. Connors's background because he is his daughter's mentor and the one who wrote her college recommendation letter. [[spoiler:One of the primary reasons he stops his pursuit of Spider-Man is because Gwen is in Oscorp Tower, where the Lizard is heading to, and Spidey can help her. And then there's his LastRequest]].
* PoliceAreUseless: Averted - he's a ''highly'' competent cop, and even [[spoiler:briefly holds his own against the Lizard]].
* ProperlyParanoid: His telling Peter to stay away from Gwen in order to keep her safe is shown to be completely justified, since [[spoiler:Gwen dies due to being associated with Spider-Man.]]
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He might be a total {{Jerkass}} when it comes to Spider-Man, but he does have some definitive points, and is willing to listen to criticism and follow up on leads, [[spoiler:such as researching Dr. Connors after Peter tips him off about his transgenesis experiments, in spite of [[DeadpanSnarker snarking]] that Peter was playing up a Franchise/{{Godzilla}} joke]]. He also seeks an arrest warrant on the only confirmed anomaly in [[spoiler:the bridge fiasco]], Spider-Man, whether to place him in jail or to uncover what actually happened.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: [[spoiler:After learning Spidey's true identity and his motives, he immediately calls off the manhunt, without giving any real explanation to his officers. In his final moments, he voices his support for Peter.]]
-->'''Captain Stacy:''' [[spoiler:I was wrong about you, Peter. This city needs you.]]
%% * SympatheticInspectorAntagonist
* ToBeLawfulOrGood: Captain Stacy highlights the difference and places himself firmly on Law after Peter says Spider-Man stands for the same thing as him, protecting innocent people. [[spoiler:Ends up making an exception for Good towards the end of the movie.]]
-->'''Captain Stacy:''' I stand for law and order, son, that's what I stand for. I wear a badge, that guy wears a mask like an outlaw.

->''"Like the Parkinson's patient... who watches on in horror as her body... slowly betrays her, or the man with macular degeneration... whose eyes grow dimmer each day, I long to fix myself. I want to create a world without weakness."''

One of Oscorp's leading scientific minds and Gwen's mentor. He used to work alongside Peter's father, Richard Parker, and they were engineering a revolutionary serum to re-grow limbs and human tissue, which would change the lives of millions -- including that of Connors himself, who lost his right arm. Richard, however, disappeared and was found dead taking a good part of the research with him, rendering Connors unable to finish the project by himself -- until Peter entered the scene.
----
* AbsurdlySharpClaws: Sharp enough to cut through metal doors, [[spoiler:or Captain Stacy's stomach.]]
* AdaptationDyeJob: Commonly depicted as dark-haired, but blond-haired in the movie.
* AdaptationExplanationExtrication: In a deleted scene from the film, he says that he heard about Ben Parker's death, and consoles Peter. This is absent from the theatrical cut, [[spoiler:making it confusing how the Lizard knew that Ben was dead when he mocks Peter.]]
* AdaptationalNationality: This version of Curt Connors is English instead of American.
* AdaptationalSkimpiness: In the comics, the Lizard wears purple trousers, a black shirt, and a white lab coat when he transforms. Here, Connors goes about perfectly nude, though BarbieDollAnatomy applies here.
* AdaptationalSympathy: He became the Lizard in the comics trying to regrow his own limb, with a lot of his characterization stemming from a JekyllAndHyde situation. This Connors is stuck working under a corrupt corporation that sees the work he's doing as a means to an end, and their unwillingness to play things safe leads him to become his alter-ego.
* AlliterativeName: Like many characters that were introduced during the initial run of the comic.
* AlternateSelf:
** Has one on [[Characters/SpiderManTrilogy Earth-96283]].
** Also, [[Film/SpiderManNoWayHome his appearance on Earth-199999]] eventually [[spoiler:diverges into a separate variant as a result of that Earth's Spider-Man curing him.]]
* AntiVillain: Connors works in genetic engineering for the betterment of humanity's medical conditions and dreams of restoring his missing arm. He seems to be a genuinely good man, only working for the shady Norman Osborn. He only becomes the Lizard [[spoiler:when his lizard-based serum is slated for public testing without his consent. He tests it on himself to spare others the danger and suffers transformation into the Lizard, which turns him insane. Even as the Lizard, his first action is to go after the scientist who's about to test the serum on aged veterans. Upon being cured his first thought is to save Peter's life, and his second is a concern for Captain Stacy as he realizes he fatally wounded him.]]
* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:Implied after the final battle, where he saves Peter and willingly turns himself in to the police. TheStinger reveals that there is a precedent for this - several characters have implied he was more involved in Richard and Mary Parker's death than he lets on, and it's stated that he at least knows why they were killed.]]
* AxCrazy: As the Lizard. Though he ultimately means to do good, he will stop at barely anything to bring his plan to fruition and becomes quite mentally unhinged.
* BadassBookworm: Even as a hulking lizard-man, he's still an intelligent and dangerous individual.
* BadassLabcoat: Occasionally worn as the Lizard, but mainly worn as a scientist.
* BarbieDollAnatomy: As the Lizard, though considering the anatomy of most reptile species, this isn't all that surprising. Reptilian reproductive organs tend to be mostly internalized, thus Connors's, ah, lack of visible anatomy in that area.
* BeastMan: As the Lizard.
* BigBad: The main villain of the first film, as his Lizard persona attempts to turn all of New York into reptilian monsters.
* BodyHorror: The way Connors first regenerates his lost arm is rather disgusting, being covered in dead reptilian flesh and scales. The regenerated arm itself is (initially) far from pretty, with translucent skin, visible veins, and no fingernails. However, his reaction is one of joy.
* CompositeCharacter: Like Eddie Brock Sr. from ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan'', he was Richard Parker's partner. [[spoiler:He also takes the role of ComicBook/DoctorOctopus as Captain George Stacy's killer.]]
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: To Venom of the previous ''Spider-Man'' film. Unlike him who's powers come from an alien lifeform while lacking any redeeming qualities due to caring only about what he can get, the Lizard is sympathetic as everything he did was in the actual belief he could help humanity. Even in his Lizard form he didn't mutate people out of malice and after being cured he regretted his actions and saved Spider-Man.
* CurbStompBattle: The first Lizard fight is a long and very painful beatdown on Spidey's end: the most he can do is delay him for a moment at a time and stop innocent people from getting hurt, but once it turns into a straight fight Peter is very outmatched. It only ends in his favor because he delayed Connors until the police came.
* DeadpanSnarker: He's normally pretty serious and straightforward, but he still shows shades of this, such as his joke about being a southpaw.
* DeathBySecretIdentity: [[spoiler:Averted. He finds out who Spidey is, but remains alive. [[NobleDemon And discreet.]]]]
* DeathOfPersonality: As Dr. Connors, he's a benevolent figure, but the serum erases this good personality and replaces it with that of [[BigBad The Lizard.]] [[spoiler:The Lizard is defeated in the same manner--the antidote destroys the evil Lizard persona, restoring Dr. Connors.]]
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Actor Creator/RhysIfans has likened Connors' use of the serum to drug addiction, and it's easy to see why. He injects the serum into his arm by means of a hollow needle, it makes him feel fantastic (to the point of feeling and acting like another person entirely), and he keeps using more and more of it to negate going back to normal. And once he finally ''does'' go back to normal, Connors shows withdrawl-like symptoms such as restlessness and changes in mood, making it clear he's desperate to return to his previous state as soon as possible.
* EveryoneHasStandards: He is horrified that his colleague would test the formula with unwitting Military amputees as Guinea Pigs, which is the reason why he uses the untested serum upon himself. Too bad '''that''' didn't work out.
* EvilBrit: As the Lizard.
* EvilIsBigger: He towers over Spider-Man and other people as the Lizard.
* EvilutionaryBiologist: While he has traces of the Lizard virus in his system, he proclaims that humans are weak and must be enhanced in order to achieve their true potential.
* EvilSoundsDeep: His voice is a lot deeper as the Lizard.
* {{Foil}}: The Lizard is one of a sort to Peter. Both are cross-species originating from humans who are very intelligent but are on opposite sides of the moral spectrum and operate to completely opposite ends.
* FaceMonsterTurn: One done to prevent other amputees from being tested upon.
* FullFrontalAssault: As the Lizard, when not wearing his BadassLabcoat.
* GeniusBruiser: As the Lizard, he's quite capable of thinking on his feet and improvising weapons, such as [[spoiler:mixing chemicals together in a science lab to create an improvised explosive.]]
* GeniusCripple: Being down one arm does nothing to stop his intellect.
* GollumMadeMeDoIt: While he claims that he was pushed into becoming the Lizard in his trial, he states that he feels he is not personally responsible for the crimes his insane alter-ego was accountable for - even though he clearly regrets what occurred. His defense fails to win over the jury.
* GreenAndMean: His reptilian form has green scales and is not a friendly character.
* HealingFactor: The whole point of the lizard formula, but it also extends to bullet wounds.
* HumansAreFlawed: The starting point of his research. At the height of his insanity, he comes to the conclusion that humans are ''so'' imperfect that it's not right to leave them unevolved.
* ImAHumanitarian: In a deleted scene, [[spoiler:he bites Rajit's head off.]] This is done less as HorrorHunger and more as a way to KickTheSonOfABitch.
* ImmuneToBullets: DoubleSubverted. [[spoiler:He goes down from gunfire and is seen hurt by it... then his HealingFactor kicks in.]]
* JekyllAndHyde: And the latter comes through more and more as he becomes increasingly addicted to the serum.
* JustThinkOfThePotential: He believes the perfect Lizard formula could change millions of lives for the better.
* KickTheDog: The Lizard hits Spider-Man himself where it hurts in their final battle after seemingly gaining the upper hand.
-->'''Lizard:''' [[spoiler:Poor Peter Parker. No mother... no father... no uncle...'''All alone'''.]]
* LargeHam: As the Lizard.
* LightningBruiser: In his own words, he's faster, stronger, and smarter than Peter is.
* LizardFolk: No, really? [[spoiler:He also (briefly) turns a number of police officers that got into contact with his evolutionary weapon into this.]]
* LogicalWeakness: The Lizard, being cold-blooded, becomes sluggish when chilled. [[spoiler:Captain Stacy uses it to his advantage during the final showdown by blasting him with liquid nitrogen.]]
* MadScientist: {{Invoked|Trope}}: Dr. Connors says that he and Richard were called this for their fascination with genetic experiments.
* ManlyTears: He cries after [[spoiler:being cured and watching his right arm fall apart again.]]
* MisanthropeSupreme: As the Lizard, or under its influence.
-->'''Lizard:''' I sought to create a stronger human being, but there's no such thing! Human beings are weak, pathetic, feeble-minded creatures... why be human at all, when we can be so much '''more'''?
* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: Played with. He's absolutely moral as Connors and even injects himself with the serum for a moral reason (to keep other amputees from being used as test subjects, considering the serum is potentially lethal).
* NiceGuy: As Curt Connors. Best shown in a deleted scene where he visits Peter and offers very sincere condolences for Uncle Ben's death.
* NoOntologicalInertia: Whenever he turns back to a human, he loses his new arm.
* NobleDemon: [[spoiler:When the Lizard finds Gwen hiding with his Ganali device, he merely takes the device from her and lets her go.]]
* OneWomanWail: Whenever the Lizard is about to emerge or wreak havoc, the soundtrack invokes this trope to make his appearance all the more unnerving.
* PapaWolf: When he's not in his Lizard form he is extremely protective of Peter. [[spoiler:He even threatened Gustav Fiers in TheStinger, if said guy didn't leave Peter alone.]]
* ParentalSubstitute: He acts as one for Peter Parker in ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan''. They share a love of science and it becomes clear that Peter desires Connors' approval, [[ParentalAbandonment something he never really got from his dad.]] In a deleted scene, he even gives Peter his sympathies for the death of his Uncle.
* PrehensileTail: One that's able to regenerate in seconds.
* ProfessorGuineaPig: He tests the Lizard serum on himself in order to prevent Dr. Ratha from testing it on unknowing veterans. [[SideEffectsInclude And, well...]]
* PutOnABus: He's sent off to Ryker's Island after being tried.
* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: As, you guessed it, the Lizard.
* SanitySlippage: The more he uses the Lizard serum, the blurrier the line gets between both personalities, whether he's transformed or not. [[spoiler:It's only after he's exposed to the antidote that his original personality truly resurfaces.]]
* SecretKeeper: [[spoiler:Since he still knows Peter is Spider-Man after being cured and averts DeathBySecretIdentity.]]
* SlasherSmile: The Lizard always has one.
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Ditched, obviously, as the Lizard.
* SplitPersonality: Develops one after the first Lizard incident.
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: That takes over more and more as the serum settles into his blood.
* SuperStrength: He's very strong and very resilient as the Lizard.
* SuperiorSpecies: Connors believes his Lizard form is a superior creature devoid of human weaknesses.
* TalkingToThemself: Before the attack on the school, we hear a voice talking about the plan to spread the formula and not letting Spidey get in the way of it. Whether this is the Lizard who has taken on a mind of its own or Connors' own thoughts is [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation up to interpretation]].
* ThinkingOutLoud:
** There is a break in the feverous inner tirade when Connors sits down and speaks out loud: "That, changing like the snake, I might be free, to cast off flesh wherein I dwell confined."
** This is an EnforcedTrope due to heavy re-cutting of the scene after a plot about Peter's father was taken out of the film. In the original version, Peter was present as well, and most of the inner monologue was actually part of a dialogue between the two.
* ThisIsYourBrainOnEvil: He's not a bad guy at all. Having the Lizard in his system makes him crazy.
* TragicVillain: In this version of the story, he was ''forced'' into becoming the Lizard. What's worse is that, in spite of the tragedy he caused, things would have been infinitely worse if Ratha had his way and used the serum on dozens of subjects.
* {{Transhuman}}: Dr. Connors' views on human nature are reminiscent of Transhumanism's principal tenets - that the limits of the human body can be overcome through science.
* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: He honestly believes he's doing all mankind a favor, even if he must ''force'' them to accept it.
* VisionaryVillain: Dr. Connors is driven by a vision of a "world without weakness" where humanity's physical flaws are corrected by science.
* WallCrawl: He climbs up Oscorp Tower with his bare hands, complete with an allusion to ''Film/KingKong''.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Dr. Connors longs to create a world in which everyone is equal, a world in which illness and weakness don't exist. Injected with the Lizard serum, he comes to the conclusion his vision can be made a reality by making everyone like him, even if that means forcing the change upon everyone against their will.
-->'''Lizard:''' All these souls, lost and alone. I can save them! I can cure them! There's no need to stop me, Peter!
* WesternTerrorists: The Lizard's EvilPlan is referred to as a "terrorist plot" in a news flash.
* WickedCultured: In addition to being an awesome scientist, and the Lizard, Connors can quote incredibly appropriate poetry, in this case from Michelangelo's "The Silkworm".
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: The injection of the Lizard serum not only has transformed Dr. Conners but has made him very insane.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: He just wanted to overcome his disability, and help other people overcome their own.

->''"But you better make damn sure you kill me this time. 'Cause if you don't, I'm gonna kill the light so that everyone in this city is gonna know how it feels to live in my world... A world without power... a world without mercy... a world without Spider-Man! Then everyone will be able to see me for who I truly am... Don't you know? I'm Electro!"''

An Oscorp electrical engineer who felt ignored by the world and developed an unhealthy obsession with Spider-Man. After suffering an accident involving an electric wire and a tank of mutated electric eels, Dillon's skin turned blue and he gained the power to control electricity.
----
* AbusiveParents: In a deleted scene, his mother treats him cruelly and insults him despite the fact that he is working hard to take care of her. Since this wasn't included in the final cut of the film however it's not clear whether it's canon.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: At least pre-Electro. In the original continuity, Max was a {{Jerkass}} with few morals long before even becoming a supervillain. Here, he's a nicer guy (if somewhat unstable) before turning into a TragicVillain.
* AdaptationalSympathy: His sufferings in this film, being a relentlessly bullied electrician instead of the victim of a freak accident, make his turn to villainy more understandable than in the comics.
* AGodAmI: By the end of the film, his powers have expanded to such a degree that he declares this of himself.
-->'''Electro:''' You're too late, Spider-Man. I designed this power grid. Now I'm gonna take back what is rightfully mine. I will control everything and I will be like a god to them!
* AlternateSelf: His [[Film/SpiderManNoWayHome appearance on Earth-199999]] eventually [[spoiler:diverges into a separate variant as a result of that Earth's Spider-Man curing him, and with a better, "easy on the eyes", physical appearance than his original looks.]]
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: He gets blue skin after gaining his powers. He turns redder when fully using his powers.
* AntiVillain: He was a powerless nobody who was ignored, exploited, and abused by the people around him. When he finally gets his powers, multiple misunderstandings cause him to snap and lash out against the world that he feels has wronged him.
* AxCrazy: Started off as a LoonyFan to Spider-Man, [[FromBadToWorse then he got his powers and... well, the rest is history.]]
* BadassBaritone: His voice was naturally deep before his transformation. And the more electricity he absorbs, the deeper his voice becomes.
* BadassBoast: Tends to give out a lot of these as the quotes above will indicate.
* BadassBookworm: Much like Peter, though he's more skilled in things relating to electricity.
* BaldOfEvil: Post-transformation. Before it, he sports a truly hideous combover.
* BodyHorror: The transformation ''really'' took a toll on his appearance.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Max Dillon really liked Spider-Man at first, because Spidey helped pick up Max's work blueprints and said something mildly encouraging. Unfortunately, that scene meant way more to Max than it did to Peter, who couldn't immediately recall the meeting when super-powered Electro tried to bring up their 'friendship'.
* BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil: He's noticeably more villainous after being "examined" by Dr. Kafka.
* BigBadDuumvirate: [[spoiler:Eventually forms a partnership with Harry after being freed from Oscorp, though he's ultimately fighting Spider-Man for his own separate reasons.]]
* BigBadSlippage: Even after becoming Electro, he doesn't become antagonistic until he sees Spidey get admired by the crowd. And then Dr. Kafka tortures him, leading to [[spoiler:a BigBadDuumvirate with Harry.]]
* BlackAndNerdy: Initially. Not to mention [[CloudCuckooLander unusual]].
* BlackEyesOfCrazy: Develops these as Electro.
* BreathWeapon: During his last fight with Spider-Man, he pins him down and shoots electricity at him through shouting.
* BrokenPedestal: He sees Spider-Man as his enemy once a police officer tries to snipe him, even though Spider-Man was making it abundantly clear that he just wanted Electro to calm down. Nicely reinforced by the lyrics to "My Enemy".
-->He lied to me, he shot at me, he hates on me, he's using me, fragility, electricity, afraid of me! He's dead to me! He's dead to me! That Spider-Man, '''''HE IS MY ENEMY!!'''''
* BullyingADragon: On the receiving end of this from many after gaining his powers. It never ends well for them.
* ButtMonkey: His status as this is partly what makes him snap.
* CardboardPrison: In Electro's own words, Oscorp thought it was a ''[[SarcasmMode brilliant]]'' idea to place him in a harness that runs on electricity, the very substance he's made of and can control. Electro all but [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] how stupid that was. And he later proves this to be true when he breaks out of it during Harry's visit.
-->'''Electro:''' You do realize you locked me in a prison that runs... on electricity? I can feel it in the walls. I can feel it in my veins. No matter what you do, doc, you can't contain it. It's a force of nature. Like me.
* ChildishToothGap: Has a notable gap in his teeth as a part of his characterization as someone nebbish. It visibly closes as he gains his powers.
* ClimaxBoss: The climax of the second film centers around stopping Electro from taking over the city. However, he's not the last enemy, as Harry confronts Peter and Gwen soon after his defeat for a lower stakes (yet far more emotional) final confrontation.
* CompositeCharacter: Of several previous Electros.
** His origin is taken from the Electro seen in ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'' (an electrician turned into a superhuman that controls electricity thanks to genetically modified electric eels who gets in a fight with Spidey over a misunderstanding) and ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheNewAnimatedSeries'' (a social outcast seeking vengeance against the world he feels has wronged him).
** His appearance is a fusion of his [[ComicBook/UltimateMarvel Ultimate]] incarnation (a blue EnergyBeing) and his ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'' incarnation (wearing a suit to contain his powers).
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist:
** While both Dillon and Connors worked at Oscorp, Dillon is essentially the ButtMonkey while Connors was a highly respected scientist. Also while Connors mutated himself on purpose and became a lizard creature that acted as a more physical threat to Spider-Man, Dillon was mutated by accident and became a EnergyBeing with far more power than Spider-Man could fight without outsmarting Dillon.
** As he appeared in the last film before his series was rebooted, he contrasts Sandman from ''Spider-Man 3'' as the main threat in his film before Spider-Man confronts the second villain (Venom for Sandman and Harry for Electro). Both himself and Sandman are elemental beings with a weakness for water and their origins involve them falling into things, but Sandman had a personal connection to Peter Parker and was sympathetic as he simply wanted to look after his sick daughter while having only [[AccidentalMurder accidentally]] killed one person prior to getting his powers. Meanwhile, Electro was obsessed with Spider-Man, killed after getting his powers and was only sympathetic since most of his villainy was caused by how he was treated and experimented on after getting his powers.
* CurbStompBattle: His second fight with Spider-Man starts off even at first until Electro gets his second wind, at which point the fight turns into a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown with Spidey on the receiving end.
* DefeatEqualsExplosion: His body explodes after being force-fed with electricity to the point of overloading.
* DemotedToExtra: He doesn't play as big a role in the second console game as he did in the film.
* DesperatelyCravesAffection: He's an ExtremeDoormat with NoSocialSkills and possibly an AbusiveParent (if the deleted scene is canon), so the second he has a positive interaction with someone, he becomes obsessive. He is deeply touched that Gwen remembers his name barely a minute after meeting him and learning it, and after Spider-Man saves his life Max starts calling him his best friend and obsessing over him to the point of imagining what he would say if Spider-Man visited him on his birthday. The closest he's ever come to having an actually friend is with [[VillainousFriendship Harry Osborn]], who he saves after Harry tells Max that he needs him and ironically, it's due to him being more suspicious of people by the time they meet so they settle into being polite allies.
* DragonInChief: To a pre-Goblin Harry in the final act of the film, helping him reclaim Oscorp after he's kicked out.
* DrivenToVillainy: He had poor control of his powers at first, and clearly just wanted somebody to help him. Then the police attacked him.
* TheEeyore: He's had a miserable life and as a result he's rarely happy except when he thinks he's made a connection wit another person.
* ElectricBlackGuy: Since he's played by Foxx.
* ExtremeDoormat: Prior to the accident he had no self-confidence and therefore everybody at Oscorp took advantage of him. This led to nobody caring whether he was safe when making repairs and Oscorp not giving him credit for the power grid he designed. After getting his powers he quickly shows everyone why this was a mistake.
* EvilSoundsDeep: He gains a sinister bass-baritone voice upon gaining large quantities of electricity.
* EvilWearsBlack: He later wears a black skintight suit in the second film.
* {{Flight}}: He learns to levitate in the air in the second half of the film.
* ForgottenBirthday: Which kicks off a string of really unfortunate accidents that culminate in him becoming Electro.
* ForWantOfANail: New York could have had two heroes watching out for it if that police officer hadn't tried to snipe him.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: He transformed into a super-powered freak of nature all because he had to work an extended shift.
* GoingToGiveItMoreEnergy: [[spoiler:How Spider-Man and Gwen ultimately defeat him.]]
* TheHeavy: While Harry's actions as he tries to cure himself drive the plot, Electro's rampage is a far more prominent and direct threat.
* HumanoidAbomination: He ultimately ends up as a [[{{ComicBook/Watchmen}} Doctor Manhattan]]-esque ''thing'' made of electricity that occasionally takes on human form to communicate with or punch Spider-Man.
* HydroElectroCombo: In what is likely a ShoutOut to ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'', this version of Electro was mutated after falling into a water tank filled with genetically-engineered electric eels.
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: He wants to be able to save the day with Spider-Man.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: What Max ultimately and desperately desires is to have friends, genuine human bonding, and not be an invisible nobody that no one even cares about. As an effect, he easily latches onto people when they show some amount of decent human interaction towards him. Even the simple act of acknowledging his first name makes him latch onto people such as with Spider-Man, and Gwen for a brief moment. After becoming Electro, this desire takes on a more dangerous level. Also as shown when he teams up with Harry, his desire is so desperate that he is willing to unknowingly allow himself to be used just because he was needed and acknowledged as a friend.
* TheInformant: He would ''like'' to act like this for Spider-Man, at least. Spidey ''suggests'' that he is this, but only meant it as a pep-talk; he didn't realize Max would take it so seriously.
* InTheHood: In his first appearance as Electro, he wears one in an attempt to conceal himself.
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: He goes from unwittingly being a danger magnet to going out of his way to be a threat after he's convinced that Spider-Man set him up to be shot.
* LargeHam: Despite the more grounded tone of ''The Amazing Spider-Man'' films, his scenes are played up to be extremely hammy.
* LaughablyEvil: Electro can be pretty goofy at times with how he acts.
* {{Leitmotif}}: The electronic dubstep piece ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDyAouw3nUw My Enemy]]'', and its longer variation ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zYB1PLjKv0 The Electro Suite]]''. Both of these are implied to be representations of Electro's obsession, paranoia, and growing mental instability.
* LightningCanDoAnything: It can even [[spoiler:level ''Times friggin' Square'']]!
* LogicalWeakness:
** Water, as usual. [[ItOnlyWorksOnce However, he eventually gets to overcome it by vaporizing the water before it can touch him.]]
** In the analogy of "living beings being made up of 70% water, but can still drown", the "water" for Electro in this case, is electricity.
* LonersAreFreaks: Why it later drives him into villainy after becoming Electro.
* LoonyFan: He develops an obsessive fixation on the wall-crawler.
* MickeyMousing: Electro's Theme contains a lot of Dubstep, which usually cannot be heard by the characters in the movie themselves - however, during the final standoff between Spidey and Electro, the latter converts himself into his energy form and starts jumping between the coils of the power plant and punching Spidey in between. Every time he switches from one coil to another, he makes them emit one tone at a time, creating a tesla-coil rendition of "Itsy-Bitsy Spider". Spidey himself isn't particularly thrilled.
-->'''Spider-Man:''' I ''hate'' this song!
* MySuitIsAlsoSuper: Despite constantly shifting between solid form and streams of electricity, whenever he reforms in his physical body his shorts, and later his Oscorp equipment, reform with him.
* NearVillainVictory: He manages to trap Spider-Man in a lightning tether created from his powers and could've slowly fry him to death if it wasn't for Gwen ramming him with a stolen police car.
* {{Nerd}}: Before his transformation, the movie does its best to make Jamie Foxx look like an unattractive nerd by giving him a combover, glasses, and fake bad teeth.
* NeverFoundTheBody: [[spoiler:Though it seems like he died in his last fight with Spider-Man, his ability to manipulate electricity leaves his fate ambiguous - especially considering that he phases in and out via particles a handful of time through the movie. Creator/JamieFoxx himself even lampshades this by saying that "electricity cannot truly die", implying he might have made a return. Subverted in ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'' in which Max laments he was minutes away from death.]]
* NoBodyLeftBehind: He explodes after being overloaded with electricity with no trace of his physical body.
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: He designed the plans for the city's power grid. How does karma repay him? By having those designs stolen by [[BadBoss Alistair Smythe]] who then forces him to work an extended shift which would lead to the fateful accident that turns him into Electro.
* NoSocialSkills: Due to being an ExtremeDoormat he has no friends and doesn't know how to interact with people, with most of his interactions with others being awkward.
* PayEvilUntoEvil: [[spoiler:He straps Dr. Kafka into the same harness that had been used to contain him.]]
* PersonOfMassDestruction: He causes considerable collateral damage to Times Square alone in his first confrontation with Spider-Man and that was ''before'' he learned to control his powers. When he gets a better handle on his abilities, he causes a city-wide blackout that endangers several people at a hospital and nearly causes two planes to crash in midair.
* PsychoElectro: What's unique about this case is that it's shown that he was always kind of off. Having super-powers only made it worse.
* PsychopathicManchild: While more or less harmless before the accident, once he gets powers he is no longer the ExtremeDoormat he's been his whole life and finally acts on the fantasies he has when people anger him. His obsession with Spider-Man, born from one interaction after the hero saved him, means that when he believes the wall-crawler has betrayed him, he becomes determined to kill him.
* RaceLift: Electro is traditionally white in the comics and other adaptations. Here, he's played by African-American Jamie Foxx.
* RoomFullOfCrazy: Has a room filled with pictures and reports of Spider-Man, as well as cut-out messages he probably wrote himself. There is also a photo of Spidey place next to a mirror so that Max can pretend he is Spider-Mans' best buddy.
* SanitySlippage: Again, he was a LoonyFan to Spider-Man with a RoomFullOfCrazy, but not outwardly malicious. Getting superpowers just made it worse.
* ScaryBlackMan: Though his skin isn't actually black by the time he gets scary.
* ShadowArchetype: He's a lot like Peter and possibly represents what he could have become without Uncle Ben and Aunt May.
* ShockAndAwe: Aside from being able to zap things at will, he can make quick transit between objects that use electricity.
* {{Sidekick}}: Except not really. He deludes himself into thinking that he's Spider-Man's partner.
* StalkerWithoutACrush: His defining trait. Due to his extreme loneliness, Max is desperate for any type of companionship. Thus, being treated without the contempt or indifference he's used to will cause him to instantly latch on to that person such as Spider-Man or Gwen.
* TemptingFate: He remarks to Spider-Man of DidntSeeThatComing after trapping him in a lightning tether with his powers while slowly frying to death, and didn't expect Gwen Stacy driving a stolen police car straight into him.
* ThenLetMeBeEvil: He was just a ButtMonkey that nobody gave a damn about, then he got his powers and was taunted and jeered as a freak of nature, next to a series of tragic misunderstandings involving Spider-Man plus being tortured by Dr. Kafka, making him finally decide that if the world wanted a monster, he'll ''give'' them one.
-->'''Electro's thoughts:''' They lied to me, they shot at me, they hate on me, they're using me, afraid of me, they're dead to me! They lied to me, they shot at me, they hate on me, they're dead to me, ''and now they're all my enemy!''
* TragicVillain: Being a ButtMonkey, he wanted to have friends and be accepted in society. When he turned into Electro, everyone starts calling him a freak, and it pushed him over the edge.
* {{Troll}}: During their final battle, Electro rams Spidey through tesla coils, creating a rendition of the Itsy-Bitsy Spider song just to taunt the guy.
* TookALevelInBadass: His freak lab accident turns him from a meek nerd to a powerful electric being.
* TookALevelInJerkass: He goes from being a sympathetic nobody to a deranged murderer after he loses faith in Spider-Man, deciding to establish himself as a force to be reckoned with.
* UnPerson: [[spoiler:Oscorp deletes his personnel file after his accident because they feared their stock would crash if an employee died on their watch; this even before they found out they've created yet another supervillain.]]
* UnwittingPawn: Again, to Harry during the later parts of the movie. Harry only needed him because he was desperate to get back into Oscorp to obtain the cure for his disease. After serving his role, however, Harry still keeps his end of the bargain by giving him access to the power grid.
* VillainousFriendship: Starts one with the Green Goblin.
* VolcanicVeins: Develops glowing blue veins as Electro.
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: The only villain in the Duology to actually die at Peter's hands, he's also a being of electricity, so no moral implications are talked about despite being TheMentallyDisturbed.
* WhosLaughingNow: Being a victim of bullying for most of his life meant that once he got his powers things didn't go so well for everyone else.
-->''"Soon everyone is this city is gonna know how it feels to live in my world. A world without power. A world without mercy."''
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Again, it's not hard to feel sorry for Maxwell Dillon after he becomes Electro.
* YellowLightningBlueLightning: Electro's lightning is primarily blue in color.

->''"You don't give people hope, you take it away. Now, I’m gonna take away yours."''

The 20-year-old son of Norman Osborn, introduced in the second film, he's dying of a genetic condition that runs in the family--and only Spider-Man can help him.
----
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: The Harry Osborn Green Goblin is a LegacyCharacter to his father Norman in the comics and most adaptations. Here he is the original.
* AdaptationalSympathy: To a degree. He doesn't become the Goblin to avenge his father's death because of his IrrationalHatred of Spider-Man like in the comics, but because he's dying and Peter wouldn't help him.
* AdaptationalVillainy: As opposed to Electro's AdaptationalNiceGuy above, Harry is notably less sympathetic than he was in the comics, being [[spoiler:the BigBad of the second film, and the Green Goblin that's responsible for Gwen Stacy's death, rather than his father. In the comics, Harry and Gwen were close friends and he was greatly upset by her death.]]
* AlternateSelf: Has one on [[Characters/SpiderManTrilogy Earth-96283]].
* AnimeHair: Transforming into the Green Goblin automatically brushes up his hair in a jagged manner.
* ArchEnemy: [[spoiler:Killing Gwen Stacy makes him this to Peter and he's creating a team to take over New York and kill him.]]
* AxCrazy: Starts off with relatively decent behavior, but grows progressively insane as the movie continues, culminating in him, well, becoming the Goblin.
* BigBadDuumvirate: Becomes one of the main antagonists of the second film as his attempts to find a cure for his illness, putting him in conflict with Spider-Man and straining his friendship with Peter before he releases Electro and becomes the ComicBook/GreenGoblin.
* BigBadFriend: To Peter, his best friend when they were kids.
* BigBadSlippage: He actually starts out as a friend to Peter, but as his illness gets the better of him he loses his sanity. He goes full villain after being seized from Oscorp.
* BodyHorror: His disease becomes increasingly apparent as time goes by, with his skin falling apart. He later painfully mutates into a goblin-like creature with pale yellow-green skin, longer nose and ears, yellowed teeth, and discolored WildHair after being given the spider venom. The alternate cut of this scene is much more gross and disturbing.
* BothSidesHaveAPoint: He's terminally ill and wants Spider-Man's blood, believing it to be his only hope of survival; however, Spider-Man refuses, believing it might harm or kill him, or even turn Harry into a monster like the Lizard. While Spidey makes a valid point, Harry also does when he points out to Spidey that he's already dying, so he's got nothing to lose either way.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Peter Parker. This is notable in that Peter was the only friend he had who wasn't after his money.
* ColdHam: The character of Harry Osborn seems to have been written for a more dramatic actor, but Dane Dehaan is more restrained than is necessary.
* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: Never calls himself the Green Goblin, only named as such in the credits. In fact the word goblin isn't spoken by anyone.
* CompositeCharacter: With the Ultimate version of [[ComicBook/{{Venom}} Eddie Brock]], being Peter's childhood friend who reunites with him several years later and becomes a supervillain due to a perceived betrayal from Peter. He also has some elements of his father by becoming the first Green Goblin and [[spoiler:being responsible for Gwen Stacy's death.]]
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist:
** To the Lizard, who was a scientist at Oscorp who mutated himself using science he had helped to create for the purpose of regowing physical injuries. Harry meanwhile was the son of the company's owner and used science developed by others to try and cure himself of a genetic illness.
** To Venom of ''Spider-Man 3'', as Harry appeared in the last film before his film series was rebooted. Like Venom he is the last villain to appear in their respective films, and use a more powerful but sympathetic villain to fight Spider-Man. However Eddie Brock was a self-serving photographer who bonded with an alien symbiote, and as Venom was incredibly petty and selfish in his desire to kill Spider-Man. Harry however was a wealthy young man who used science to mutate himself into the Green Goblin while also using Oscorp weapons, and while curel he was motivated from the desire to survive the illness that killed his father. Harry also serves as a EvilCounterpart to the version of Harry who appeared in ''Spider-Man 3'' who sacrficed himself to save Spider-Man.
* DemotedToExtra: He doesn't play as big a role in the second console game as he did in the film.
* DisabledInTheAdaptation: Much like his father in this universe, this Harry suffers from an illness that'll eventually kill him and is ultimately the impetus for him becoming the Green Goblin.
* DrivenToVillainy: He was only looking for a way to cure his disease, and being kicked out of Oscorp certainly didn't help matters.
* EntitledBastard: Harry becomes angrier in his search for a cure to his disease. Even when Peter tells him that a blood transfusion from Spider-Man would be risky, Harry ignores him.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: While it's before he really slips, he's noticeably upset that Oscorp is experimenting on human subjects in Ravencroft.
* EvilCounterpart: As the Green Goblin, he is even more obviously this to Peter than his father was in the comics. In addition to being the same age as Peter, he's pushed into his StartOfDarkness by the sudden death of his father figure, and he gets his superpowers from a self-inflicted dose of the same spider venom that gave Peter his abilities.
* EvilFormerFriend: Becomes the Green Goblin. [[spoiler:Killing Gwen cements this.]]
* EvilIsHammy: Once he turns into the Goblin, all restraints are off. [[IncomingHam His very introduction]] has some wordless overacting even before delivering an overenunciated "Peter...".
* EvilLaugh: Pulls an impressive one before the final battle.
* EyeScream: When Spider-Man appears in person to inform Harry that he won't hand him his blood, Harry is so enraged that he hurls a glass of scotch at the wall. The shattering glass is so dramatic that it can be hard to notice Harry scream and clutch his face right afterwards, as if some of the tiny shards of glass flying everywhere had found their way back to him.
* {{Frameup}}: The accident that creates Electro is passed off as an experiment which is then pinned on Harry, which gives Oscorp's Board of Directors the excuse to kick him out of the company.
* InvoluntaryShapeshifter: [[spoiler:Is last seen in his normal human form, but he says his condition "comes and goes". A nod to the comic version (and the first trilogy) where being the Goblin was a mental illness rather than a physical change.]]
* JerkassHasAPoint: Harry wants Spider-Man's blood for its healing abilities as his only hope of survival. Spider-Man refuses as it could harm or kill him, but Harry points out he is already dying and has nothing to lose.
* KnightOfCerebus: The moment Harry becomes the Green Goblin, people start dying...
* LaughingMad: Develops a tendency towards maniacal laughter after he becomes the Green Goblin.
* MightAsWellNotBeInPrisonAtAll: Thanks to the assistance of Mr. Fiers, he's currently [[spoiler:overseeing the formation of the Sinister Six]] from his cell at Ravencroft.
* NeverMyFault: Harry exclusively blames Spider-Man's refusal to help him for his transformation and mutation, never mind that Spider-Man and Peter (from Harry's perspective) each gave valid points that there was no way of knowing if Spider-Man's blood would help or make things worse.
* NiceMeanAndInBetween: From a multiversal point of view in regard to Peter Parker's best friend, this Harry Osborn is the mean to the nice of [[Characters/MCUCitizensNewYorkCityMidtownSchoolOfScienceAndTechnology Earth-199999's Ned Leeds]] and the in-between of [[Characters/SpiderManTrilogy Earth-96283's Harry Osborn]]. He starts off as Peter Parker's best friend, but when Parker, as Spider-Man, refuses to give him his blood out of concern for his safety, he snaps and becomes the Green Goblin, leading him to kill Peter's girlfriend Gwen Stacy, becoming his arch-enemy and shattering their friendship forever.
* NotHisSled: He becomes the Green Goblin before his dad, unlike the comics and other incarnations (such as ''Film/SpiderMan3'' and unlike ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan''.[[note]]Or rather, how it appeared to be before TheReveal in that show.[[/note]])
* PainfulTransformation: Turning into the Green Goblin ''hurts''.
* PetTheDog: In a deleted scene, he spares Felicia during his rampage at Oscorp.
* PostClimaxConfrontation: The climactic battle against Electro is over, the villain is gone, the city is saved and it seems everything is just fine -- then suddenly Green Goblin appears, as one final challenge before the day is done.
* PowerArmor: The Goblin suit is a battle armor which also heals the wearer. Harry puts it on as a last resort after his attempt at a cure makes his condition worse.
* PowerDyesYourHair: After transforming into the Green Goblin, Harry's hair gets a green-ish hue.
* RememberTheNewGuy: Wasn't mentioned in the first film, but established in the second as Peter's childhood friend before he was packed off to boarding school.
* {{Revenge}}: After Oscorp kicks him out, Harry breaks Electro out of custody in exchange for Electro breaking him into Oscorp so he can cure himself. He encourages Electro to fight Spider-Man because he didn't help him earlier (though Electro is already spoiling for a fight). More directly, after he turns into the Goblin, Harry confronts Spider-Man and blames him for his current state.
* SanitySlippage: While he loses it in extreme situations before, he still manages to stay composed and competent right up until he has the Spider-venom injected into him, which causes him to lose his grip on sanity.
* SecretlyDying:
** He discovers he's inherited the genetic disorder that killed his father and takes the Goblin formula in an attempt to cure it.
** [[spoiler:It is in fact the same altered spider-venom that turned Peter into Spider-Man but due to it being coded to only Parker DNA it goes wrong. [[BodyHorror Horribly wrong.]]]]
* SequelAdaptationIconicVillain: After the first film focused on lesser-known ''Spider-Man'' villain The Lizard, Harry provided the sequel with this franchise's incarnation of the Green Goblin, [[spoiler:and he would have formed the Sinister Six had the series not been Cut Short.]]
* SlasherSmile: Sports one of these as the Goblin.
* ThatManIsDead: Declares that "Harry is dead!" [[spoiler:to Gwen after he takes her hostage and she tries to talk him down as Harry.]]
* VillainousFriendship: With Felicia and Electro.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Peter back when they were kids.
* WellDoneSonGuy: He grew to adulthood feeling his father never much cared about him. However, unlike his comic book counterpart and other versions, he never tries to gain his father's approval.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Neglected by his father as a child, taken away from his friends, and dying from a genetic condition, he gets betrayed by his subordinates at Oscorp and denied a possible cure by Spider-Man, leading to his descent into villainy. Just how much of a [[TheWoobie Woobie]] he is after he [[spoiler:causes Gwen's death]] is debatable.
* YoungAndInCharge: At 20, he's named by Norman Osborn to succeed him as head of Oscorp. The [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Board of Directors]] is not pleased.
* YouSeeImDying: He had the bad luck to inherit his father's genetic disease.

[[caption-width-right:280:''"Say hello to Aleksei Systevich!"'']]
!!!'''Played by:''' Creator/PaulGiamatti
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/FredTatasciore (second [=iOS=] game) Andrés García (Latin-American Spanish dub), Miglen Mirtchev (European French dub)
!!!'''Appears In:''' ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2''

->''"I am the Rhino! I told you I would be back!"''

A Russian crook that leads New York's [[TheMafiya Mafiya]]. Though he gets arrested by Spider-Man at the beginning of the sequel and subsequently incarcerated, he is eventually freed by Gustav Fiers and given a Rhino-shaped mech suit to squash the Spider with.
----
* AdvertisedExtra: The trailers and other promotional materials spoke of him like he was going to be a prominent villain, with his actor even receiving AndStarring citations. The reality is that he gets about five minutes total screentime between the start and end of the film, and vanishes between those points.
* AlternateSelf: A version of him could be briefly seen as a SinisterSilhouettes in ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'', resembling his appearance in the main comics as opposed to the MiniMecha he has here. He also has a counterpart in [[Characters/SonysSpiderManUniverse another universe]].
* AnimalMecha: His Rhino armor. It's interesting in that it can switch from bipedal to quadrupedal.
* AscendedExtra: In the second [=iOS=] game, he gets a more prominent role, serving as a middleman for the Russian mob in its dealings with Oscorp, and he even gets to be the FinalBoss.
* AxCrazy: Not to the extent of Electro or Goblin, but he's still pretty unstable.
* BadassDriver: He's evidently a greater threat to Spider-Man when he's behind the wheel. It's probably why he was put in a vehicular suit later on.
* BaldOfEvil: Made all the more evil by his tattoo.
* BookEnds: Spider-Man enters and exits the film confronting him.
* TheBusCameBack: He's thrown into prison early on in the movie, but he finally becomes the Rhino at the end during the PostClimaxConfrontation.
* CarFu: His truck literally plows through traffic.
* CardCarryingVillain: This exchange between him and Spidey.
-->'''Spider-Man:''' So, not much of a hugger?\\
'''Rhino:''' ''[pulls out machine gun]'' Ah! I am ''killer!''
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist:
** To the Lizard, who was a scientist who mutated himself into a lizard creature. The Rhino is instead a crimminal given an AnimalMecha and is nothing more than a henchman working for Harry Osborn and the Gentleman.
** As he appeared in the last film before his series was rebooted, his acts as one to the New Goblin from ''Spider-Man 3'' for the sole reason that both are only villains for a small amount of screen time. Harry Osborn was a billionaire who used a serum created by his father to gain enhanced physical abilities to get revenge on Spider-Man while also using advanced weaponry, but eventully came to see that his father was responsible for his own death and sacrificed himself to save Spider-Man. Rhino is a GenericDoomsdayVillain and a crimminal who has no personal connection to Spider-Man and his happy to try and kill him.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The very first scene with him is him literally plowing through traffic on a truck loaded with explosives, screaming the above quote at the top of his lungs and laughing maniacally.
* FinalBoss: In the second [=iOS=] game, he’s the final villain Spider-Man faces, having come back in the Rhino armor to seek revenge against him.
* GatlingGood: His armor comes with machine guns.
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: While Green Goblin and Electro at least get enough screen time to have established motivations, the same cannot be said for The Rhino.
* HumiliationConga: He tries to shoot Spidey and misses every shot, Spider-Man knocks the gun out of his hand, webs him up, and pulls down his pants. And as he hammily swears revenge, Spider-Man leaves just in time for his gun to fall on his head and knock him out, all in a spam of a minute.
* HuskyRusskie: A massive thuggish Russian criminal.
* {{Jobber}}: His role in the sequel is to get his ass kicked by Spider-Man at the beginning of the movie and stay in prison for the rest of it (until he comes back at the end in his armor); he's mainly there to add a little depth to the cinematic world than to pose as a serious threat to Peter. This goes hand-in-hand with his role in the comics where he's functionally the same - TheBrute for any villain needing muscle.
* LargeHam: He has a pretty hammy accent, as admitted by his actor.
* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: The only supervillain who didn't have a prior connection to Oscorp before becoming a villain.
* MiniMecha: His Rhino armor is big enough to fit a cockpit for him in its chest, but not quite humongous enough to fit in the HumongousMecha category.
* NoIndoorVoice: He's pretty much locked in a perpetual state of screaming at the top of his lungs.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: He wasn't much of a threat when he was your average criminal and was quickly dealt with by Spider-Man. But when he gets into [[PoweredArmor The Rhino Suit]], he becomes much more dangerous and formidable.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: The film ends just as Rhino and Spider-Man engage in a fight in the streets of New York. While the outcome isn't shown onscreen, [[spoiler:Peter confirms in ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'' that he did succeed in defeating Rhino.]]
* PoweredArmor: Interestingly enough, it's able to function as a bipedal mech ''or'' a quadrupedal one.
* RhinoRampage: Through the use of PowerArmor to boot.
* StarterVillain: The first villain to be defeated in the sequel, though he comes back in the final scene.
* TattooedCrook: He has a tattoo of barbed wire on his forehead.
* WalkingTank: The Rhino suit is armed to the teeth and extremely durable.
* WeWillMeetAgain: "This is not end, Spider!"
* WouldntHurtAChild: His sole redeeming factor - he stops shooting at the police when a child steps in front of him. It doesn't stop him from [[IShallTauntYou taunting]] the kid, though.

!!!'''Appears In:''' ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan'' | ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2''

->''"I've identified several worthy candidates. Now that Spider-Man's gone, this city will never be the same."''

Appears in TheStinger of the first film, asking an imprisoned Dr. Connors if he told Peter the truth about his father. He can be seen wandering through Oscorp's secret tech in the sequel.
----
* AbortedArc: Whatever plans he had for Peter wound up being cancelled along with the series.
* AffablyEvil: Imposing he may be, but he's quite reserved and polite in conversation. He isn't called "The Gentleman" for nothing.
* AscendedExtra:
** In the sequel, he actually does something plot-important: providing the foundation for the Sinister Six.
** Also in the more traditional sense. Gustav Fiers hadn’t appeared in comic books ''at all'' at the time that he had made his appearance in the movies; his only prior appearance is as the BigBad of a [[Literature/SinisterSixTrilogy trilogy of Sinister Six]] prose novels. They were very well-received, which probably won him his spot in the films.
* EvilSoundsDeep: As indicated by his conversation with Dr. Connors, and later, Harry Osborn.
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: His appearance in the first film was just that - a man who appeared in the shadows.
* FaceFramedInShadow: As his (initial) name indicates.
* SixthRanger: Of the Sinister Six, as he's the guy who gets them all together. Technically speaking, this makes him the ''[[{{Pun}} Seventh]]'' Ranger.
%% * UnexpectedCharacter
* WalkingSpoiler: Mentioning him reveals a good portion of TheStinger, along with a major plot thread in the sequel.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Due to no more films in the series being produced, we never find out what Gustav Fiers planned to do with Peter Parker nor why he wanted to fund the Sinister Six. [[spoiler:''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'' makes no mention of him, so it can be implied that Fiers ultimately didn't go ahead with his plans.]]

-->-- '''NYPD police officer'''

A run-of-the-mill robber and carjacker. [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin He kills Uncle Ben.]]
----
* AccidentalMurder: It seems his shooting of Uncle Ben is a case of this: it doesn't look like he intended to shoot Ben, as he is noticeably shocked when it happens.
* AdaptationalKarma: Inverted in the films themselves as Peter never captures him. However, related to the films version, it's Zigzagged in the tie-in game for the second one, as he get killed by Cletus Kasady due to his crimes.
* AffablyEvil: He robs a store, but is nice enough to give Peter the milk he couldn't afford. Plus, it doesn't look like he shot Ben intentionally, and he is noticeably shocked afterwards.
* AlternateSelf: Interestingly he has [[DecompositeCharacter two equivalents]] on [[Characters/SpiderManTrilogy Earth-96283]]: one as Dennis Carradine, who is the man Peter chose not to stop when he had the chance, and Flint Marko, who is the one who actually killed Ben Parker.
* BaitTheDog: After robbing a cashier, he throws Peter the milk the cashier wouldn't let him buy. A few minutes later, he shoots Uncle Ben.
* KarmaHoudini: Downplayed - though he doesn't get arrested in the first film, it's pretty clear that Spidey's still on the lookout for him by the end. However, he has eluded capture by the time of the sequel. A post on ''The Daily Bugle'''s Tumblr implies that he may have been apprehended by Spider-Man after a car chase through the streets of New York.
* KnightOfCerebus: Peter sure was having fun goofing off with his superpowers until this guy showed up.
* NoNameGiven: He's just known as "Uncle Ben's Killer" or "The Burglar" (like in the comics) or "The Cash Register Thief". His name is given as Dennis Carradine, the same as it was in ''Film/SpiderMan3'', in the second video game.
* SinisterShades: Part of the reason why Peter has so much trouble looking for him is because he can't recognize his face.
* TattooedCrook: A star on the left wrist.

->''"I'm here to study you. To understand what you are, why you are. And I will get results. I always do."''

A doctor working at Ravencroft Institute that '[[ColdBloodedTorture examines]]' Max Dillon after his arrest.
----
* AdaptationalVillainy: The comic book version of the character was a psychologist concerned with treating ''[[GenderFlip her]]'' patients. In the original script for the movie, the character would have simply been a generic doctor that interacted little with Electro [[spoiler:and would subsequently not be attacked when he escaped.]]
* {{Camp}}: Probably the campiest character in ''any'' superhero film in recent history.
* FauxAffablyEvil: He's polite and soft-spoken to Electro, even when the latter knows that it's abundantly clear that the doctor is torturing him.
* ForScience: Why he's so insistent upon experimenting upon Electro.
* GenderBlenderName: Ashley is an unusual name for a man. This is because...
* GenderFlip: Kafka's a woman in the comics, but is played by a man in the film.
* HerrDoktor: He has a noticeable German accent.
* InNameOnly: This character is essentially to ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2'' what Deadpool was for ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'', sharing almost nothing in common with the character he is based upon. For starters, he's a woman in the comics, and ''that'' Ashley Kafka was actually concerned with helping her patients instead of "examining" them through torture. This character, however, is more or less ANaziByAnyOtherName.
* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:Electro putting him in the same harness that Kafka had used to torture him with.]]

->''"Has your hand started to twitch yet? When you lay awake and you feel it coming, hiding under your skin, waiting to show itself. To show you who you really are."''

The head of Oscorp. Is said to be dying.
----
* AbusiveParents: Sent his 11-year-old son to boarding school and failed to be a good father. He doesn't appear to show any regret when Harry calls him out on this.
* AdaptationalWimp: Thanks to being DisabledInTheAdaptation, he never dons the Green Goblin persona.
* AgeLift: Rather older than any other version of Norman (who are portrayed as being in their forties or early fifties), at least going by the actor's age.
* AlternateSelf: Has one on [[Characters/SpiderManTrilogy Earth-96283]].
* AmbiguousSituation: Although a DeletedScene suggest that he's NotQuiteDead and that [[HumanPopsicle his head was cryogenically preserved in a jar]], it's unknown if this is canonical or not. [[spoiler:As Peter never mentions having encountered Norman Osborn in person while dealing with Norman's [[Characters/MCUGreenGoblin Earth-96283 counterpart]] in ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'', it can be implied that Osborn did die and his suggested survival isn't canonical or that Peter has yet to encounter a resurrected Osborn.]]
* AntiVillain:
** All that genetic research with the nasty side-effects? It's all done in order to keep himself and his son from dying of a serious illness.
** [[spoiler:Eventually subverted - he was using Richard Parker's research to create biological weapons that he could sell to the highest bidder.]]
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:He apparently dies of the painful disease he's carried, which is just as well considering the suffering he's been responsible for. This may be subverted by evidence of being preserved cryogenically, which implies he's NotQuiteDead.]]
* BodyHorror: The sickness he has leaves him bedridden, makes him look seriously unwell, and causes his voice to become guttural. Also he has ''claws''.
** The "claws" may simply be due to neglect of his hygiene since he knows he's terminally ill and doesn't see reason to bother trimming his nails. This doesn't make them any less unnerving, though, when combined with his withering hands.
* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:He supposedly dies offscreen - but there's evidence that his body was put into cryostasis.]]
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Is Oscorp's CEO and has been monitoring Peter, among numerous other illegal projects.
* DarkLordOnLifeSupport: A very shady CorruptCorporateExecutive and the film's GreaterscopeVillain is seen barely hanging on life via several medical apparatus.
* DeadAlternateCounterpart: PlayedWith in regards to his iteration from [[Characters/SpiderManTrilogy Earth-96283]]. That version was dead at the end of [[Film/SpiderMan1 his first movie]], with this Norman following suit partway through ''TASM 2''. ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'' resurrects the Earth-96283 Norman thanks to the [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse Earth-199999]] Peter Parker messing up one of Doctor Strange's spells, so ''TASM'' Norman winds up being the DeadAlternateCounterpart to that Norman.
* DeathByAdaptation: Norman is alive and well in the comics and most versions, but this one bites the dust partway into the film.
* DecompositeCharacter: Has his usual role in the comics and other versions of being the original Green Goblin [[spoiler:and Gwen Stacy's killer]] is taken by his son, Harry, and his other role of being a ruthless businessman is given to CanonForeigner Doctor Rajit Ratha.
* DemotedToExtra: ZigZagged. In the comics and most adaptations, he is Spider-Man's most famous ArchEnemy. This version dies after his first scene without becoming the Green Goblin but is nonetheless the GreaterScopeVillain of the film series.
* DisabledInTheAdaptation: The comics Norman has never had an arc where his health was in danger. The MythArc of this series is due to this Norman being terminally ill. Additionally, the hologram of him in the first film shows him wearing glasses.
* TheDreaded: Other characters seem to be afraid of him, which is pretty reasonable given his counterpart's personality. It might just be the fact that could fire them at any time.
* FaceFramedInShadow: There is a portrait of him displayed inside Oscorp, but it is covered in shadows.
* TheGhost: Never appears on screen in the first film, only discussed by other characters. No longer the case as of the second film, as Norman does show up in person.
* GreaterScopeVillain: Of the entire film series.
* HumanPopsicle: According to [[http://www.movieweb.com/news/shocking-amazing-spider-man-2-post-credit-scene-reveals-huge-spoiler pictures]] on the set of ''The Amazing Spider-Man 2'', [[spoiler:the rumors of his death were greatly exaggerated, as he was cryogenically frozen until a cure for the disease could be found. However, he is also a [[BrainInAJar head in a jar]] because of the effects of the disease.]]
* InNameOnly: Aside from retaining his name and roles of being the head of Oscorp and father of Harry, he has nothing in common with his comic book counterpart (mainly through the fact that he is dying and most of his usual roles from the comics and other versions are given to other characters).
* {{Jerkass}}: He's not particularly nice to Harry when he visits - but at the least, [[PetTheDog he tells his son to make the most of his legacy]], implying that there's a '''bit''' of a JerkWithAHeartOfGold in regards to his own flesh and blood. [[spoiler:Unless there's an ulterior motive at play.]]
* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:Material on the Blu-Ray/DVD release of ''The Amazing Spider-Man 2'' indicates that he's not dead at all, but being preserved cryogenically.]]
* ScaryShinyGlasses: His giant model covered in shadows has them.
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Though oddly averted in the archive footage, where he presumably wears contact lenses.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: He is well-regarded as a philanthropist and a hero to the scientific community, in spite of his illegal actions behind the scenes.
* YouSeeImDying: He's dying of an unknown disease.

!!!'''Appears In:''' ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan''

->''"Norman Osborn is dying, Dr. Connors. Save him. Or we'll both lose our heads."''

Norman Osborn's [[MouthOfSauron representative]]. Because Osborn is dying, Ratha pressures Connors into beginning human trials for his limb-regenerating formula. When Connors refuses, Ratha fires him and takes the formula to test at the veterans' hospital.
----
* AdaptationalVillainy: The video game sequel manages to make him even more corrupt, revealing he not only wanted to use Connors’ research for a cure, but to make cross-species monsters to sell on the black market. He also threatened to blacklist Michael Morbius to force him to help him, and he got involved with the Mafia, getting them to loan him an expendable thug that he mutated into the Rhino, intending to sell Rhino to them. [[spoiler:Fortunately, he died before he could do this.]]
* AlliterativeName: '''R'''ajit '''R'''atha.
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:Deleted scenes show he was killed by the Lizard, and the ''Daily Bugle'' ARG confirms this is canon.]]
* BollywoodNerd: Though, unlike most versions of this trope, he is very serious and often sinister.
* CanonForeigner: Made exclusively for the movie.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: He was planning on using military amputees ''[[KickTheDog as Guinea Pigs]]''!
** The video game sequel reveals he’s corrupt even by Oscorp standards, having connections with the black market and planning to sell cross-species monsters to numerous shady sources to be used as weapons.
* DragonWithAnAgenda: The video game sequel reveals he intended to use Connors’ research to create cross-species monsters to sell as weapons to shady clients on the black market. [[spoiler:He was killed before this could happen]], but he left the Rhino behind.
* {{Expy}}: He is essentially an Indian version of the Norman Osborn from the comics and other versions, only without the Green Goblin element. Heck, he shares a stronger resemblance towards the Norman of the comics and other versions than the version that is featured in this film series.
* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: Dude was planning on testing the Lizard formula on patients at a veterans hospital, disguised as a flu shot and with no concern over the potential side effects. That's so wrong on many levels...
* MouthOfSauron: Acts as this for Norman Osborn.
* PetTheDog: In a deleted scene, he tells Peter that he is bound to do great things with his abilities. Whether or not he was just smooth talking Peter into getting a job at Oscorp was ambiguous, but it's a surprisingly kind gesture.
* SecretKeeper: He clearly knows a lot more than he lets on about Peter's father.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In the theatrical cut of the first film, he disappears after the bridge scene.

An assistant to Norman Osborn at Oscorp.
----
* AdaptedOut: The second console game reveals that the Menken we’ve been seeing was actually [[spoiler:the Chameleon in disguise.]]
* AdaptationalWimp: The IOS version depicts him as being a middleman between Oscorp and the gangs for Oscorp’s weapons dealings and rather out of his depth, rather than the higher up he is otherwise depicted as in the second console game and the film. Ironically, he is even more of a SmugSnake than he is in the films.
* BullyingADragon: He tries talking down to Electro when Harry gets back into Oscorp. It goes about as well as you'd expect.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Noticing a pattern with the people that run Oscorp?
* DeathByAdaptation: While his death was cut from the second film and his fate is left ambiguous in [[VideoGame/TheAmazingSpiderMan2 the console game]], the IOS version has him murdered by the Green Goblin.
* DisneyVillainDeath: Not in the official film, but deleted scenes show that Goblin took him to the top of the Oscorp tower and threw him off. It's hard to feel bad for him.
* EvilIsPetty: Honestly, it appears the man is literally incapable of doing anything unless he's screwing someone over. Max Dillon ''works for Oscorp'' yet Menken steals his designs and implements them without giving him an ounce of credit. At least in the previous film, Connors was actually given a choice to continue his work before they tried to steal it.
* FrameUp: He places the blame of the accident with Max Dillon onto Harry Osborn so he can sit at the head of Oscorp.
* GreaterScopeVillain:
** As the head of Oscorp and [[spoiler:the one who injected the Goblin Formula into Harry]] in the second movie.
** Averted in the IOS version, where he is nothing but a middleman between Oscorp and the gangs.
* HateSink: He is a corrupt employee of Oscorp who seeks to usurp Harry Osborn as CEO after his father's death. Menken has Max Dillon, A.K.A. Electro committed to Ravencroft, where he uses footage of Max to [[FrameUp frame]] Harry for the accident that turned him into Electro.

Harry Osborn's personal assistant and secretary who [[WordOfGod has romantic feelings for him]]. She tells him of the off the books project that leads to him working with Max Dillon and becoming the Green Goblin.
----
* AdaptationDyeJob: In the comics she's blonde, in the film she has brown hair.
* AdaptationalHeroism: She is not a ClassyCatBurglar like her comic book self.
* AdaptationalWimp: Black Cat is one of the most credible {{Action Girl}}s in the Spider-Man mythos. No signs of that in this version. [[spoiler:[[WhatCouldHaveBeen Only because she never got that far]]]].
* AlternateSelf: She has a counterpart in [[Characters/SonysSpiderManUniverse another universe]].
* DarkChick: Subverted - given that she's the assistant of the main villain of the second film, it seems as though she would fit the mold. However, she doesn't do anything evil, and only tries to help Harry get better. [[spoiler:Had she assumed her persona as Black Cat as intended for future films, it's still unknown if she'd become this or be an ally to Spidey as she occasionally is]].
* DemotedToExtra: Black Cat is a pretty iconic character in the comics, but Felicia appears only in one of the films with a minor role and does not show up as her masked identity. [[spoiler:She would have graduated to AscendedExtra in later films as Black Cat]].
* FirstNameBasis: With Harry, unlike the Oscorp executives because they're "not his friends". Also, her last name being Hardy is only confirmed in the credits.
* GirlFriday: Is this to Harry.
* InNameOnly: Aside from her name, she has nothing in common with her comic book counterpart. [[spoiler:Even though she was ''supposed'' to]].
* NiceGirl: A dedicated assistant who walks the extra mile to help her boss.
* PetTheDog: Although she doesn't do anything villainous, she's aware of Oscorp's secret project. She tells Harry about it because she realizes it can save his life.
* PunchClockVillain: Felicia is just doing her job. [[spoiler:If she'd become the Black Cat, it's unknown if this would've remained so]].
* RavenHairIvorySkin: In contrast to the comics, where she was platinum blonde.
* SexySecretary: Portrayed by the attractive Felicity Jones and there is mutual attraction between her and her boss.
%% * ShadowArchetype: To Gwen Stacy.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Out of all the people working in Oscorp, she's the only one (besides Gwen) who is not a jerk or becomes a villain. [[spoiler:It's unknown if this'd still be the case when she became the Black Cat]].
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: By telling Harry about Oscorp's secret projects, [[NiceJobBreakingItHero she inadvertently created the conflict found in the second half of the film]].
* VillainousFriendship: Subverted regarding her friendship with Harry because she is not a villain at all. [[spoiler:It was intended she'd have this with Spider-Man after assuming her constumed persona, like in the comics]].
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: It's not clear if she lost her job after Harry was kicked out of the company. [[spoiler:Future movies would have had her becoming the Black Cat, but still left ambiguous if it it's due to her being fired or because she left on her volition]].

Peter's uncle and aunt, who look after him when his mother and father disappear.
----
* AdaptationDyeJob: Aunt May has dark brown hair worn loose instead of her classic grey hair in a bun look.
* AdultFear: Shortly after the death of your husband, the teenage nephew who you've raised as your own and is the last of your family repeatedly stays out all night and returns home covered in cuts and bruises.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Uncle Ben seems to believe this, if him telling Gwen (who he acknowledged Peter's crush on earlier) that he was Peter's probation officer is any indication.

* CoolOldGuy: Uncle Ben.
* DeadpanSnarker: Uncle Ben. Now we see where Peter got it from.
* DeathByOriginStory: Uncle Ben is killed by a robber who Peter neglected to stop, kicking off the process that would ultimately make him become Spider-Man.
* DemotedToExtra / OutOfFocus: Uncle Ben has less screen-time and a less prominent role in Peter's life in this adaptation (as opposed to the comics and other adaptations) in detriment of his brother, Richard Parker, and Captain George Stacy.
* DoomedByCanon: Uncle Ben.
* GoodParents: In spite of not actually being Peter's biological parents.
* HappilyMarried: Though Aunt May unfortunately becomes widowed.
* HeroicBystander: Uncle Ben. [[ForegoneConclusion We all knew what the result would be, unfortunately.]]
* IdiotBall: Uncle Ben. He’s usually a responsible and wise guy, then he tries to stop a criminal by grabbing his gun. {{Facepalm}}.
* InstantDeathBullet: Unlike the Raimi films, when Uncle Ben is shot, he's already dead by the time Peter gets to him.
* LethalChef: While Aunt May is usually a good cook, her meatloaf is apparently so bad that Uncle Ben knows something's wrong with Peter when he eats it eagerly and loves it.
* MamaBear: Aunt May. Uncle Ben says he pities someone who messes with Peter and in turn has to face May's wrath.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Ben is very distraught when [[spoiler:bringing up Peter's parents in an argument about responsibility leads to him running away.]]
* {{Nephewism}}: Par the course. Of course, it ''is'' explained what happened with Peter's parents.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: Ben in this version is a draftsman (specifically he designed bridges) and thus is pretty damn smart himself. He just doesn't ''quite'' have the mechanical and technical genius Peter and his father possessed.
* ParentalSubstitute: Though Peter actually knew his parents fairly well in this continuity, his aunt and uncle do a fine job of raising him after their untimely deaths.
* SecretSecretKeeper: Possibly. It is hinted that Aunt May has deduced Peter is Spider-Man, but he isn't aware of it.
* TooDumbToLive: Ben dies by grabbing the robber's gun. Seriously, what was he thinking?
* YoungerAndHipper: While still older than most parents of a teenage boy, they are decidedly younger here than most versions (and in keeping with the ''ComicBook/UltimateMarvel'' vibe, Aunt May still has it going on).

'''Richard:''' Mary, we've been through this. Our life as we know it is over. We're gonna spend every day from now on looking over our shoulders.

Peter's father and mother. After their home is broken into by unknown people, they leave their young son with his aunt and uncle in order to keep him safe from danger (Richard also leaving his research in a satchel) and disappear. They both died in a plane crash. It turns out an assassin was on board and tried to kill them, and the plane crashed because of the struggle.
----
* AdaptationalDyeJob: Richard has grey hair instead of the brown hair that he has in the comics and other versions.
* AgeLift: They are depicted as being rather older than their comic book counterparts and other versions (who usually appear to be rather young and around their either their 20's or 30's).
* AlternateSelf: On [[Characters/SpiderManTrilogy Earth-96283]] and on [[WesternAnimation/WhatIf2021 an unknown zombie outbreak Earth]].
* AscendedExtra: Especially Richard, who has more impact and a more prominent role in Peter's life than the role that he has in the comics and other versions.
* BadassNormal: When the man sent by Oscorp kills their pilot and is about to kill them, Mary breaks down the bathroom door she's trapped behind and catches him off guard and Richard puts up a good fight and actually knocks him out. When Richard de-pressurized the cabin and the man is clinging to the laptop downloading the events that drove the Parkers into exile, Richard refuses to let go and makes sure the download goes through.
* DeathByOriginStory: Although ''why'' they died is a mystery in the first film. The sequel reveals that [[spoiler:it was because they refused to make weapons for Oscorp, and that they knew too much.]]
* FrameUp: [[spoiler:Oscorp framed them both as thieves and traitors trying to sell government research in order to steal it for themselves, then successfully tried to kill them.]]
* HeKnowsTooMuch: [[spoiler:Part of the reason as to why Oscorp dealt with them.]]
* MadScientist: {{Invoked|Trope}}: Dr. Connors says that he and Richard were called this for their fascination with genetic experiments.

* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Richard.
* TakeCareOfTheKids: They entrust Ben and May with Peter to protect the boy from danger when it becomes clear someone's after them.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Both of them, but especially Mary, who gets less characterization. InUniverse, Peter feels unhappy that he didn't get to know his parents better in the time he had with them.

Resident JerkJock and BigManOnCampus. Though he predictably targets Peter, [[DramaticIrony he grows to idolize Spider-Man]]. He is revealed to have a HiddenHeartOfGold after Peter's uncle dies.
----
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the comics, Flash during high school had the tendency of mercilessly bullying Peter Parker (but he greatly admires Spider-Man) and then he and Peter become close friends in college. Here, while he initially still bullied Peter, Flash eventually becomes friends with Peter during ''high school'' instead of ''college''.
* AlternateSelf: Has one on [[Characters/SpiderManTrilogy Earth-96283]] and another on [[Characters/MCUCitizensNewYorkCityMidtownSchoolOfScienceAndTechnology Earth-199999]].
* BerserkButton: Calling him by his real name, Eugene.
* BigManOnCampus: To pretty much everyone but Peter and Gwen.
* TheBully: To Peter, [[CharacterDevelopment at first]].
* BullyingADragon: Surprisingly [[AvertedTrope averted]]. After Peter gains his powers, the two have altercations: in the first, [[SmugSuper Peter is actually the provoker]] and in the second, Flash simply wanted to give his condolences to Peter for Ben's death.
* EmbarrassingFirstName: At least he seems to think so.
* {{Fanboy}}: Of Spider-Man.
* HeroWorshipper: Near the end of the film. True to his comic book counterpart, Flash becomes a Spider-Man fanboy.
* HiddenDepths: [[WordOfSaintPaul Chris Zylka comments]] there's much more to Flash than he lets on, and that he doesn't ''quite'' enjoy being a bully. That may explain why he stopped picking on Peter too.
* HumiliationConga: Peter submits him to one after he gains his powers, when Flash ruins the work of another student. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0roGH0afL3Y See it by yourself]].
* InSpiteOfANail: As ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'' connects the Raimi and MCU Spider-Man films to the Webb series, Flash is the only character to be a classmate of Peter in all three universes.
* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: A ''huge'' fan of Spider-Man, especially in [[http://thedailybugle.tumblr.com/post/77330749548/we-asked-our-readers-how-they-thought-spider-man his write-up]] to the ''Daily Bugle''.
* JerkJock: Who, predictably, gives Peter a lot of garbage. [[HiddenDepths Until his uncle dies]].
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: This version is an even bigger jerk than the original trilogy, but has the humanizing aspects that weren't included. By the end of the movie, his "bullying" of Peter comes across more as friendly teasing.
* LovableJock: Progressively, finally up front by the end of the first film.
* LovesMyAlterEgo: Averted. Unlike the comics where he's a jerk to Peter while admiring Spider-man, here he admires Spider-Man while becoming nicer to Peter.
* PetTheDog: He apologizes to Peter about his uncle's death, and it's even implied he's deliberately offering himself up for a beating to give Peter a CatharsisFactor (though that would itself imply that his idea of catharsis is getting or giving physical abuse).
* TookALevelInKindness: He becomes a JerkWithAHeartOfGold by the end of the first movie.
* TruerToTheText: This version is the most faithful adaptation of the character among the three cinematic incarnations.

* InnocentlyInsensitive: She seems to be asking Peter out when she tells him that she likes his photos, an offer Peter is willing to accept, but it turns out that Sally's interest is because she wants to know if he could take some photos of her boyfriend's car.

----
* AbortedArc: As mentioned above, she was going to appear in the third movie before it was cancelled in favor of the Sony/Marvel deal.
* AlternateSelf: Has one on [[Characters/SpiderManTrilogy Earth-96283]] and an equivelant on [[Characters/MCUCitizensNewYorkCityMidtownSchoolOfScienceAndTechnology Earth-199999]] named Michelle Jones.
* AmbiguousSituation: It's unknown whether Peter hooks up with her after Gwen's death due to her DeletedScenes not being confirmed as canon, though the intent was for Mary Jane to become his new love interest in the following films. [[spoiler:However, as Peter states in ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'' that he no longer had a romantic life following Gwen's death and doesn't seem to make a connection with the "MJ" nickname, it's likely that he and Mary Jane didn't hook up, if they even met.]]

A reporter for ''The Daily Bugle'' who has written articles on the apprehension of criminals like serial killer Cletus Kasady, along with The Enforcers. Though he does not appear in ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2'' itself, his articles are included as viral marketing for the sequel.
----
* AdaptationalHeroism: It's implied by his writing that this version of Eddie Brock is a more ethical journalist and all-around better person than he was in the comics or [[Film/SpiderMan3 the movie that he previously appeared in.]]
* AdaptationalWimp: Is apparently just a normal person as the symbiote doesn't exist in this universe, as Peter makes no mention of it when his Raimi-Verse counterpart mentions his version in ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome''.
* AlternateSelf: Has one on [[Characters/SpiderManTrilogy Earth-96283]] and on [[Characters/SSUEddieBrockVenom another Earth]].
* ChekhovsNews: On a meta level. His article on Cletus Kasady is pretty obviously meant to hype up the then-forthcoming Webb-verse ''Venom'' movie, which ultimately never came to pass.
* HeroWorshipper: Implied - the second-to-last sentence in his article praises Spider-Man (which, considering that he's writing for the Daily Bugle, is saying something).
* IfItBleedsItLeads: Averted - the article he wrote is evidently too short to make it to the front page of a newspaper.
* IntrepidReporter: It takes some serious cohonies to write about a serial killer's capture.
* OneSteveLimit: Averted as he works alongside Edward Leeds, but since they are OnlyKnownByTheirNickname it's doubtful that it causes any issues.
* TheRealHeroes: He notes that the barista that reported on Kasady was a hero, and that her idol, Spider-Man, should be proud of ''her'' for her actions.
* TemptingFate: He confidently notes that he doesn't think that Kasady will bring about any more [[MythologyGag carnage]] now that he's in prison.

!! Dr. Adrian Toomes

An electronics engineer that works for Oscorp that designs electromagnetic tools. After the military fails to secure a contract that would make him a millionaire for his work, he modifies the antigravity harness he was working on to more closely resemble a certain bird of prey.
----
* AdaptationalHeroism: Since we don't know for certain that he will become Vulture, as many have use that identity in the comics, he is an example of this as there is nothing to suggest he is anything more than a scientist.
* AlternateSelf: Has one on [[Characters/MCUVulture Earth-199999]].
* EarlyBirdCameo: [[AccidentalPun No pun intended, should he become the Vulture.]] He is mentioned by ''The Daily Bugle'' as a scientist that is working on a flight-capable military harness, and the wings in question appear on the wall that Gustav Fiers passes by. A closer view of the wings he made appears in the CreativeClosingCredits.

[[folder: Cletus Kasady]]
!! [[ComicBook/{{Carnage}} Cletus Kasady]]

A serial killer that was sent to Ravencroft Institute after turning himself in. Though he does not appear in ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2'' itself, an article about him is included as viral marketing for the sequel. It is speculated that he will most likely transform into Carnage and escape from Ravencroft.
----
* AlternateSelf: Has one in [[Characters/SSUVenomsEnemies an alternate universe]].
* AntiClimax: {{Invoked|Trope}} on his part. He calmly turned himself in after murdering at least a dozen people, which caused him to be the subject of a major manhunt.
* AxCrazy: He was bad enough that he was placed on the FBI's Most Wanted.
* BigBad: He was probably supposed to serve as this for the ''Venom'' movie. When ''Film/{{Venom|2018}}'' came out, however, it was set in a completely different continuity, and Kasady was not the BigBad, [[spoiler:though he does make a cameo in TheStinger and eventually ''does'' become the BigBad of its sequel, ''Film/VenomLetThereBeCarnage''.]]
* BigDamnHeroes: Averted. Spider-Man didn't show up to kick his ass, much to the disappointment of the local that identified Kasady.
* DissonantSerenity: He was noted as being unnervingly calm when he turned himself into the FBI.
* EvilRedhead: He is noted as being a "notorious redhead" by Brock.
* GreatEscape: Subverted. He tried escaping during his transfer to another prison, but he was apprehended before he could go anywhere.
* KnightOfCerebus: Of all the criminals that were discussed in the paper, he was treated as the most serious threat by ''The Daily Bugle''.
* LongerThanLifeSentence: ''Twelve'' of them, as a matter of fact.
* SerialKiller: At the time of his arrest, he had been associated with twelve murders.

The lawyer who represents Curt Connors during his trial.

* AmoralAttorney: She may be one, considering that she unsuccessfully tries to convince the jury that the Curt Connors' attempt to transform all New Yorkers (including her) into humanoid lizards and Captain George Stacy's murder were all because of the Lizard serum's effects. That said, she does point out that Connors injected himself with the serum to prevent Oscorp from experimenting on innocents, but the jury doesn't buy it.

* EvilIsHammy: When [[spoiler:he loses his sanity.]]
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Condemns Connors for what he's done as the Lizard, and blames him for the entire cross species virus, but [[spoiler:Smythe's robots prove to be a bigger threat to the city as his robots cause more damage to the city then the Lizard did in the movie.]]
* HumongousMecha: What? Just because he specializes in nanobots doesn't mean he can't scale them up.

* DarkActionGirl: She's a [[spoiler:superpowered]] cat burglar who can handle herself in a fight with the Web-Head.
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: Implied by her cliffhanger ending during an optional mission that she's now a cross species and still human enough to leave Spider-Man a note saying thanks, presumably for giving her the information on Oscorp. [[spoiler:Confirmed in the sequel, where she is infused with cat DNA by the Kingpin in exchange for killing Spider-Man.]]

!!!'''Appears In:''' ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan'' | ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2''

->''"My wish for you is to become hope. People need that. And even if we fail, what better way is there to live?"''

Smart, charismatic and confident, Gwen is the chief intern at Oscorp, working in the same department as her mentor Dr. Connors, and takes her job very seriously. She becomes Peter's first and only real friend at school, and they awkwardly and clumsily grow closer to each other. Her life takes a complicated turn as she watches both Peter and Dr. Connors undergo radical transformations and finds herself becoming Peter's SecretKeeper.
----
* ActionSurvivor: She takes after her father in bravery and ability, but isn't badass enough to be a full-fledged ActionGirl.
[[Characters/TheAmazingSpiderManSeriesSupervillains Supervillains]]
* AdaptationalBadass: The original Gwen, before being forever doomed with her death, had a number of sudden personality shifts to make her into a rounded character but was mostly known for being rich, elegant, beautiful, overemotional and teary-eyed, and often getting kidnapped by the bad guys. This Gwen, however, is active, smart, and completely laid-back, a far cry from her 616 counterpart.
[[Characters/TheAmazingSpiderManSeriesOthers Others]]
* AdaptationalIntelligence: Comics Gwen was depicted as a science student at least in some issues, but film Gwen is a budding genius: school valedictorian, headhunted by Oxford, teen scientist...
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. While Gwen in the comics is remembered as a NiceGirl, she started out as a {{Tsundere}} AlphaBitch and generally had an inconsistent personality. This Gwen starts out as a NiceGirl and stays that way.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: This Gwen Stacy is more or less an original character who has almost nothing in common with her comic book counterpart (both original and ''Ultimate'') and in many cases is the complete opposite. Some examples include the fact that Peter tells her his identity from the start (which he never did in the comics since he always felt she wouldn't accept it due to the fact that she was not very fond of Spider-Man) and [[spoiler:Gwen doesn't hold Spider-Man responsible for her father's death]] (which she did in both the original and Ultimate version).
* AdaptedOut: She doesn't appear in the tie-in game to the second movie.
* AllWomenLoveShoes: She has a lot of shoes in her room. Peter awkwardly points it out.
* BadassBookworm: In ''The Amazing Spider-Man'', she [[spoiler:makes sure the cure is ready and improvises a ''flamethrower'' to drive the Lizard away from her.]] More so in the sequel, in which she [[spoiler:helps defeat Electro by restarting the power grid, causing him to overcharge.]]
* BigDamnHeroes: She saves Spider-Man from being slowly fried to death by Electro by [[CarFu ramming the latter with a police car.]]
* TheBigDamnKiss: Peter pulls her close ''with his web-shooters'' and kisses her when she's walking away, and without warning. By the way, that's how he tells her he's Spider-Man too.
* {{Bookworm}}: She often reads in school during her free time, and her room is filled with lines and lines of books.
* BrainsAndBrawn: The Brains to Peter's Brawn when they team up against the bad guys. She takes care of the logistics part, such as finishing the cure and controlling the surge of electric power.
* CharacterDeath: The most tragically iconic moment in both TASM films.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: When Peter first tries to tell her he's Spider-Man (not that he managed to say it anyway).
-->'''Peter:''' I've been bitten...\\
'''Gwen:''' Me too...
* CompositeCharacter: Of herself and Mary Jane Watson. Crossed with AdaptationPersonalityChange and a healthy dose of {{Irony}}. While Sam Raimi admitted that Creator/KirstenDunst's Mary Jane had some of the original Gwen's personality (more serious and emotional) with Mary Jane's background, Emma Stone's Gwen Stacy has her character's background but MJ's personality (light-hearted, joking, matching Peter for snark). The fact that Peter reveals his identity to her early on in the first film comes from ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan'' where Peter immediately told Mary Jane his identity (and itself based on the fact that the original MJ had known Peter's identity since high school via Revision and was the first one to accept both Peter and Spider-Man). Indeed, [[http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=47030 Spider-Man writer]] Creator/GerryConway outright noted the change in an interview.
* DaChief: For the Oscorp interns. She's the one who tells you to TurnInYourBadge when you're caught sneaking off the tour.
* DamselOutOfDistress:
** [[spoiler:She directly ignores Peter's order to leave Oscorp, instead deciding to help make sure everyone escapes the building before the Lizard gets there, and staying to make sure the cure is finished. When she's hiding from the Lizard in Oscorp, she has a lighter and an igniting agent handy, just in case she gets caught.]]
** [[spoiler:As in the comics, being a DamselOutOfDistress or even a rescued DistressedDamsel is subverted in the most heart-wrenching way in the second movie.]]
* DatingWhatDaddyHates: The daughter of the DaChief is dating a vigilante, but it's not that she intended to.
* DeadAlternateCounterpart: To the version on [[Characters/SpiderManTrilogy Earth-96283]].
* DeadpanSnarker: Comes with being played by Emma Stone.
-->'''Gwen:''' Oh, I'm sorry I didn't take us to the Bahamas of hiding places.
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: [[spoiler:While her general cause of death is still the same as the classic comics, her killer is changed from Norman to Harry and her fall happened in a clock tower, not a bridge.]]
* DidIJustSayThatOutLoud: She has a moment like this when she [[spoiler:blurts out Peter's name while he's dressed as Spider-Man in the middle of the street.]] Luckily, no one heard.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:Realizing that Peter won't reach her in time, she just closes her eyes before making an impact.]]
* FirstLove: To Peter, just like in the comics.
* {{Flanderization}}: Her intelligence and scientific skills in the second movie are amped up when compared to the comics, shows, or even the first film.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: In the second film, she gives a valedictorian speech [[spoiler:opening on the premise that they, the graduates, are not immortal.]] ''Ouch''.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Blonde and unambiguously a good person.
* HeroicBystander: [[spoiler:When the Lizard attacks the school, she hits him on the head with a school trophy to help Peter.]]
* HiddenDepths: In addition to being a scientific genius, she was a member of Midtown High's debate team.
* HotScientist: She works as an intern at Oscorp. Peter (unintentionally) finding out about this is what officially kickstarted their intimate flirtations.
* IconicOutfit: Gwen wears the green overcoat, black shirt, purple skirt, black headband she wore from an iconic story during the second film. [[spoiler:And as said story is titled ''ComicBook/TheNightGwenStacyDied'', this officially seals her fate.]]
* KillTheCutie: [[spoiler:At the end of ''The Amazing Spider-Man 2'', in a similar manner as she died in [[ComicBook/TheNightGwenStacyDied the comics]].]]
* TheLancer: She's the closest thing that Spider-Man has to a sidekick.
* LittleMissSnarker: Less due to the script and more due to it being Creator/EmmaStone, [[ThrowItIn a master of improv.]]
* TheLostLenore: [[spoiler:Her death devastates Peter to the point of him quitting his superhero career for five months. He is clearly still in pain as he watches the recording of her grad speech.]]
* LoveInterest: For Peter as of the end of the first film.
* MoralityChain: [[spoiler:In ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'', Peter admits to the other Peters that without Gwen, he has started to lose himself in his rage, punching a lot harder than he did before.]]
* MsFanservice: As per usual for Gwen, she's a very attractive blonde.
* NerdsAreSexy: Deliberately called attractive by [[AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents both Aunt May and Uncle Ben]], and is working in the science division at Oscorp.
* NiceGirl: A defining trait of hers. Gwen intervenes when Flash is bullying Peter, goes out of her way to be a good girlfriend to him and is also the first person to be aware of his SecretIdentity. Also, she is one of the only two people to have ever been kind to Max Dillon, the other being Spider-Man himself.
* OutnumberedSibling: Has three brothers, two younger and one, Phillip, of ambiguously similar age.
* PrivateTutor: She tutors Flash in the first movie, although in which subjects are not mentioned. She uses this to embarrass him enough to get him to stop bullying Peter.
-->'''Gwen:''' ''[to Flash]'' I hope you've been doing your homework. Last time I was ''very'' disappointed in you.
* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:Her death illustrates not only the fact that Peter can't prevent bad things from happening even after accepting his responsibility as a superhero, but also the consequences of giving in to his selfish desires as negating his promise to George Stacy's last wish to be with Gwen is what ultimately lead to her death in the first place.]]
* SecretKeeper: Peter lets her in on his secret identity.
* ShesGotLegs: Just like her comic book counterpart, Gwen (or Emma Stone for that manner) wears outfits (such as skirts with thigh-high socks and boots) that highlight her gorgeous, long-toned yet shapely legs.
* SweetTooth: Apparently, she loves chocolate so much that she once wished she could live in a chocolate house.
* TearsOfJoy: Her eyes are watery during Peter's grand LoveConfession and when he decides to come with her to England in the second film.
* TeenGenius: While still in high school, she's a promising scientist interning at Oscorp under Dr. Curtis Connors himself and is able to synthesize a cure to the Lizard serum. She's also a capable strategist and investigator, able to improvise a plan to evacuate the other Oscorp employees and drive the Lizard away, connect Max's disappearance to Electro's attack, and deduce how to insulate Peter's web-shooters against Electro's powers.
* TheSmartGirl: More intelligent than Peter, at least in the second film. Emma Stone even analyzed their relationship in [[WordOfGod an interview]] for ''Total Film'':
-->'''Emma Stone:''' [[BrainsAndBrawn He's the muscle, she's the brains.]]
* TwoFirstNames: Gwen and Stacy are both common given names.
* UptownGirl: It's subtle, but Gwen and her family are wealthier than the Parkers based on where they live and the food they eat, which Peter showed he was unfamiliar with.
* WhatTheHellHero:
** Lays one on Peter after [[spoiler:the death of her father for not going to his funeral, but forgives him after she pieces together that her dad must have told him to stay away from her and therefore, keep her safe as his dying wish.]]
** She gives him several more throughout the second film due to increasing bad decisions on his part.

!!!'''Appears In:''' ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan'' | ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2'' (flashback)

->''"Thirty-eight of New York's finest, versus one guy... in a unitard?"''

Gwen's father and TheCaptain of the NYPD.
----
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Overlaps with AdaptationalJerkass. In the comics, he was openly supportive of Spider-Man and Peter, being the first character to play the same role for him that Commissioner Gordon does in Batman stories. Here, George considers Spider-Man a dangerous vigilante. [[spoiler:Additionally, unlike the comics, where his LastWords were to tell Peter to look after Gwen; here, they were to tell Peter to keep away from her so his enemies won't come after her.]]
* BadassNormal: Apparently, there is a very small degree of AuthorityEqualsAsskicking. [[spoiler:Though he doesn't really get his moment until very late in the movie when he takes on The Lizard one-on-one armed with just a shotgun and liquid nitrogen. However, [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice it doesn't end well...]]]]
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:He shows up ''just'' in the nick of time to save Peter's ass from the Lizard, armed with nothing but a shotgun.]]
* ByTheBookCop: Who isn't pleased by the presence of a vigilante running in the streets.
* CompositeCharacter: This version of George Stacy seems to share a few of J. Jonah Jameson's characteristics. Namely, whilst in the comics, George Stacy was much more respectful of Spider-Man, here he openly voices his distrust of Spider-Man for wearing a mask and at one point even calls him "a menace", two things which have been more commonly associated with Jameson's various incarnations. Also fused with his ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan'' incarnation in that he's younger and a still-active member of the NYPD.
* DaChief: Highly respected by the NYPD. [[spoiler:Even after his death.]]
* DeadAlternateCounterpart: To the version on [[Characters/SpiderManTrilogy Earth-96283]].
* DeadpanSnarker: Definitely has his moments.
* DeathBySecretIdentity: [[spoiler:He dies not long after learning Spider-Man's real identity. Unusual in that he's a HeroAntagonist rather than a villain.]]
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: Depending on the universe, he's either [[Franchise/SpiderMan killed by falling debris caused by Dr. Octopus losing control of his tentacles]] or [[ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan a bomb tossed by a Spider-Man imposter]]. Here, the Lizard kills him by stabbing him with his claws.
* DonutMessWithACop: {{Defied}}. "Do you think we just sit around and eat doughnuts all day?"
* GeniusBruiser: While not on the same levels as Peter and Gwen, just by knowing what he's up against, he knew that using his gun to set off the [=CO2=] around Conners would freeze him, slowing down his regeneration in the process. [[spoiler:That only slowed the Lizard down though.]]
* GoodIsNotNice: He's a ByTheBookCop to the end. That doesn't mean he has time to play nice.
* GoodParents: To Gwen. He really does love his daughter (see PapaWolf below).
* HeroAntagonist: He wants Spider-Man arrested, even though Peter's the only one who can conceivably stop the Lizard.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Holds off the Lizard with his shotgun for Peter to release the cure and ends up impaled by Lizard's claws.]]
%% * InspectorJavert: The Javert to Spider-Man's Valjean. [[spoiler:Until Peter reveals his identity as Spider-Man.]]
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:By the Lizard's claws.]]
* JerkassHasAPoint: He has good reason to hate Spider-Man since his vigilante-style form of punishment is interfering with the cops' methods and techniques to uncovering bigger operations. [[spoiler:Not to mention when he discovers that Peter is really Spider-Man and what his motives are, he not only lets him go after initially capturing him, but proceeds to take on The Lizard all by himself with a shotgun to both assist Peter in saving the city and risk his life for him.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He might hate Spider-Man, but he does love his daughter and is a competent cop. [[spoiler:He also lets Spider-Man fight the Lizard after revealing his identity to him.]]
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:By the Lizard.]]
* LanternJawOfJustice: Fittingly for DaChief of New York's Finest.
* LastRequest: [[spoiler:Dying from the Lizard's claw wounds, he asks Peter to stay away from Gwen, [[ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies to keep her safe from his dangerous double life]]. Notably, this is the inverse of what he told Peter to do in the comics, where he said that Peter needed to look out for her more than ever.]]
* PapaWolf: He's very protective of Gwen, initially hesitant about researching Dr. Connors's background because he is his daughter's mentor and the one who wrote her college recommendation letter. [[spoiler:One of the primary reasons he stops his pursuit of Spider-Man is because Gwen is in Oscorp Tower, where the Lizard is heading to, and Spidey can help her. And then there's his LastRequest]].
* PoliceAreUseless: Averted - he's a ''highly'' competent cop, and even [[spoiler:briefly holds his own against the Lizard]].
* ProperlyParanoid: His telling Peter to stay away from Gwen in order to keep her safe is shown to be completely justified, since [[spoiler:Gwen dies due to being associated with Spider-Man.]]
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He might be a total {{Jerkass}} when it comes to Spider-Man, but he does have some definitive points, and is willing to listen to criticism and follow up on leads, [[spoiler:such as researching Dr. Connors after Peter tips him off about his transgenesis experiments, in spite of [[DeadpanSnarker snarking]] that Peter was playing up a Franchise/{{Godzilla}} joke]]. He also seeks an arrest warrant on the only confirmed anomaly in [[spoiler:the bridge fiasco]], Spider-Man, whether to place him in jail or to uncover what actually happened.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: [[spoiler:After learning Spidey's true identity and his motives, he immediately calls off the manhunt, without giving any real explanation to his officers. In his final moments, he voices his support for Peter.]]
-->'''Captain Stacy:''' [[spoiler:I was wrong about you, Peter. This city needs you.]]
%% * SympatheticInspectorAntagonist
* ToBeLawfulOrGood: Captain Stacy highlights the difference and places himself firmly on Law after Peter says Spider-Man stands for the same thing as him, protecting innocent people. [[spoiler:Ends up making an exception for Good towards the end of the movie.]]
-->'''Captain Stacy:''' I stand for law and order, son, that's what I stand for. I wear a badge, that guy wears a mask like an outlaw.

->''"Like the Parkinson's patient... who watches on in horror as her body... slowly betrays her, or the man with macular degeneration... whose eyes grow dimmer each day, I long to fix myself. I want to create a world without weakness."''

One of Oscorp's leading scientific minds and Gwen's mentor. He used to work alongside Peter's father, Richard Parker, and they were engineering a revolutionary serum to re-grow limbs and human tissue, which would change the lives of millions -- including that of Connors himself, who lost his right arm. Richard, however, disappeared and was found dead taking a good part of the research with him, rendering Connors unable to finish the project by himself -- until Peter entered the scene.
----
* AbsurdlySharpClaws: Sharp enough to cut through metal doors, [[spoiler:or Captain Stacy's stomach.]]
* AdaptationDyeJob: Commonly depicted as dark-haired, but blond-haired in the movie.
* AdaptationExplanationExtrication: In a deleted scene from the film, he says that he heard about Ben Parker's death, and consoles Peter. This is absent from the theatrical cut, [[spoiler:making it confusing how the Lizard knew that Ben was dead when he mocks Peter.]]
* AdaptationalNationality: This version of Curt Connors is English instead of American.
* AdaptationalSkimpiness: In the comics, the Lizard wears purple trousers, a black shirt, and a white lab coat when he transforms. Here, Connors goes about perfectly nude, though BarbieDollAnatomy applies here.
* AdaptationalSympathy: He became the Lizard in the comics trying to regrow his own limb, with a lot of his characterization stemming from a JekyllAndHyde situation. This Connors is stuck working under a corrupt corporation that sees the work he's doing as a means to an end, and their unwillingness to play things safe leads him to become his alter-ego.
* AlliterativeName: Like many characters that were introduced during the initial run of the comic.
* AlternateSelf:
** Has one on [[Characters/SpiderManTrilogy Earth-96283]].
** Also, [[Film/SpiderManNoWayHome his appearance on Earth-199999]] eventually [[spoiler:diverges into a separate variant as a result of that Earth's Spider-Man curing him.]]
* AntiVillain: Connors works in genetic engineering for the betterment of humanity's medical conditions and dreams of restoring his missing arm. He seems to be a genuinely good man, only working for the shady Norman Osborn. He only becomes the Lizard [[spoiler:when his lizard-based serum is slated for public testing without his consent. He tests it on himself to spare others the danger and suffers transformation into the Lizard, which turns him insane. Even as the Lizard, his first action is to go after the scientist who's about to test the serum on aged veterans. Upon being cured his first thought is to save Peter's life, and his second is a concern for Captain Stacy as he realizes he fatally wounded him.]]
* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:Implied after the final battle, where he saves Peter and willingly turns himself in to the police. TheStinger reveals that there is a precedent for this - several characters have implied he was more involved in Richard and Mary Parker's death than he lets on, and it's stated that he at least knows why they were killed.]]
* AxCrazy: As the Lizard. Though he ultimately means to do good, he will stop at barely anything to bring his plan to fruition and becomes quite mentally unhinged.
* BadassBookworm: Even as a hulking lizard-man, he's still an intelligent and dangerous individual.
* BadassLabcoat: Occasionally worn as the Lizard, but mainly worn as a scientist.
* BarbieDollAnatomy: As the Lizard, though considering the anatomy of most reptile species, this isn't all that surprising. Reptilian reproductive organs tend to be mostly internalized, thus Connors's, ah, lack of visible anatomy in that area.
* BeastMan: As the Lizard.
* BigBad: The main villain of the first film, as his Lizard persona attempts to turn all of New York into reptilian monsters.
* BodyHorror: The way Connors first regenerates his lost arm is rather disgusting, being covered in dead reptilian flesh and scales. The regenerated arm itself is (initially) far from pretty, with translucent skin, visible veins, and no fingernails. However, his reaction is one of joy.
* CompositeCharacter: Like Eddie Brock Sr. from ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan'', he was Richard Parker's partner. [[spoiler:He also takes the role of ComicBook/DoctorOctopus as Captain George Stacy's killer.]]
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: To Venom of the previous ''Spider-Man'' film. Unlike him who's powers come from an alien lifeform while lacking any redeeming qualities due to caring only about what he can get, the Lizard is sympathetic as everything he did was in the actual belief he could help humanity. Even in his Lizard form he didn't mutate people out of malice and after being cured he regretted his actions and saved Spider-Man.
* CurbStompBattle: The first Lizard fight is a long and very painful beatdown on Spidey's end: the most he can do is delay him for a moment at a time and stop innocent people from getting hurt, but once it turns into a straight fight Peter is very outmatched. It only ends in his favor because he delayed Connors until the police came.
* DeadpanSnarker: He's normally pretty serious and straightforward, but he still shows shades of this, such as his joke about being a southpaw.
* DeathBySecretIdentity: [[spoiler:Averted. He finds out who Spidey is, but remains alive. [[NobleDemon And discreet.]]]]
* DeathOfPersonality: As Dr. Connors, he's a benevolent figure, but the serum erases this good personality and replaces it with that of [[BigBad The Lizard.]] [[spoiler:The Lizard is defeated in the same manner--the antidote destroys the evil Lizard persona, restoring Dr. Connors.]]
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Actor Creator/RhysIfans has likened Connors' use of the serum to drug addiction, and it's easy to see why. He injects the serum into his arm by means of a hollow needle, it makes him feel fantastic (to the point of feeling and acting like another person entirely), and he keeps using more and more of it to negate going back to normal. And once he finally ''does'' go back to normal, Connors shows withdrawl-like symptoms such as restlessness and changes in mood, making it clear he's desperate to return to his previous state as soon as possible.
* EveryoneHasStandards: He is horrified that his colleague would test the formula with unwitting Military amputees as Guinea Pigs, which is the reason why he uses the untested serum upon himself. Too bad '''that''' didn't work out.
* EvilBrit: As the Lizard.
* EvilIsBigger: He towers over Spider-Man and other people as the Lizard.
* EvilutionaryBiologist: While he has traces of the Lizard virus in his system, he proclaims that humans are weak and must be enhanced in order to achieve their true potential.
* EvilSoundsDeep: His voice is a lot deeper as the Lizard.
* {{Foil}}: The Lizard is one of a sort to Peter. Both are cross-species originating from humans who are very intelligent but are on opposite sides of the moral spectrum and operate to completely opposite ends.
* FaceMonsterTurn: One done to prevent other amputees from being tested upon.
* FullFrontalAssault: As the Lizard, when not wearing his BadassLabcoat.
* GeniusBruiser: As the Lizard, he's quite capable of thinking on his feet and improvising weapons, such as [[spoiler:mixing chemicals together in a science lab to create an improvised explosive.]]
* GeniusCripple: Being down one arm does nothing to stop his intellect.
* GollumMadeMeDoIt: While he claims that he was pushed into becoming the Lizard in his trial, he states that he feels he is not personally responsible for the crimes his insane alter-ego was accountable for - even though he clearly regrets what occurred. His defense fails to win over the jury.
* GreenAndMean: His reptilian form has green scales and is not a friendly character.
* HealingFactor: The whole point of the lizard formula, but it also extends to bullet wounds.
* HumansAreFlawed: The starting point of his research. At the height of his insanity, he comes to the conclusion that humans are ''so'' imperfect that it's not right to leave them unevolved.
* ImAHumanitarian: In a deleted scene, [[spoiler:he bites Rajit's head off.]] This is done less as HorrorHunger and more as a way to KickTheSonOfABitch.
* ImmuneToBullets: DoubleSubverted. [[spoiler:He goes down from gunfire and is seen hurt by it... then his HealingFactor kicks in.]]
* JekyllAndHyde: And the latter comes through more and more as he becomes increasingly addicted to the serum.
* JustThinkOfThePotential: He believes the perfect Lizard formula could change millions of lives for the better.
* KickTheDog: The Lizard hits Spider-Man himself where it hurts in their final battle after seemingly gaining the upper hand.
-->'''Lizard:''' [[spoiler:Poor Peter Parker. No mother... no father... no uncle...'''All alone'''.]]
* LargeHam: As the Lizard.
* LightningBruiser: In his own words, he's faster, stronger, and smarter than Peter is.
* LizardFolk: No, really? [[spoiler:He also (briefly) turns a number of police officers that got into contact with his evolutionary weapon into this.]]
* LogicalWeakness: The Lizard, being cold-blooded, becomes sluggish when chilled. [[spoiler:Captain Stacy uses it to his advantage during the final showdown by blasting him with liquid nitrogen.]]
* MadScientist: {{Invoked|Trope}}: Dr. Connors says that he and Richard were called this for their fascination with genetic experiments.
* ManlyTears: He cries after [[spoiler:being cured and watching his right arm fall apart again.]]
* MisanthropeSupreme: As the Lizard, or under its influence.
-->'''Lizard:''' I sought to create a stronger human being, but there's no such thing! Human beings are weak, pathetic, feeble-minded creatures... why be human at all, when we can be so much '''more'''?
* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: Played with. He's absolutely moral as Connors and even injects himself with the serum for a moral reason (to keep other amputees from being used as test subjects, considering the serum is potentially lethal).
* NiceGuy: As Curt Connors. Best shown in a deleted scene where he visits Peter and offers very sincere condolences for Uncle Ben's death.
* NoOntologicalInertia: Whenever he turns back to a human, he loses his new arm.
* NobleDemon: [[spoiler:When the Lizard finds Gwen hiding with his Ganali device, he merely takes the device from her and lets her go.]]
* OneWomanWail: Whenever the Lizard is about to emerge or wreak havoc, the soundtrack invokes this trope to make his appearance all the more unnerving.
* PapaWolf: When he's not in his Lizard form he is extremely protective of Peter. [[spoiler:He even threatened Gustav Fiers in TheStinger, if said guy didn't leave Peter alone.]]
* ParentalSubstitute: He acts as one for Peter Parker in ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan''. They share a love of science and it becomes clear that Peter desires Connors' approval, [[ParentalAbandonment something he never really got from his dad.]] In a deleted scene, he even gives Peter his sympathies for the death of his Uncle.
* PrehensileTail: One that's able to regenerate in seconds.
* ProfessorGuineaPig: He tests the Lizard serum on himself in order to prevent Dr. Ratha from testing it on unknowing veterans. [[SideEffectsInclude And, well...]]
* PutOnABus: He's sent off to Ryker's Island after being tried.
* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: As, you guessed it, the Lizard.
* SanitySlippage: The more he uses the Lizard serum, the blurrier the line gets between both personalities, whether he's transformed or not. [[spoiler:It's only after he's exposed to the antidote that his original personality truly resurfaces.]]
* SecretKeeper: [[spoiler:Since he still knows Peter is Spider-Man after being cured and averts DeathBySecretIdentity.]]
* SlasherSmile: The Lizard always has one.
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Ditched, obviously, as the Lizard.
* SplitPersonality: Develops one after the first Lizard incident.
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: That takes over more and more as the serum settles into his blood.
* SuperStrength: He's very strong and very resilient as the Lizard.
* SuperiorSpecies: Connors believes his Lizard form is a superior creature devoid of human weaknesses.
* TalkingToThemself: Before the attack on the school, we hear a voice talking about the plan to spread the formula and not letting Spidey get in the way of it. Whether this is the Lizard who has taken on a mind of its own or Connors' own thoughts is [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation up to interpretation]].
* ThinkingOutLoud:
** There is a break in the feverous inner tirade when Connors sits down and speaks out loud: "That, changing like the snake, I might be free, to cast off flesh wherein I dwell confined."
** This is an EnforcedTrope due to heavy re-cutting of the scene after a plot about Peter's father was taken out of the film. In the original version, Peter was present as well, and most of the inner monologue was actually part of a dialogue between the two.
* ThisIsYourBrainOnEvil: He's not a bad guy at all. Having the Lizard in his system makes him crazy.
* TragicVillain: In this version of the story, he was ''forced'' into becoming the Lizard. What's worse is that, in spite of the tragedy he caused, things would have been infinitely worse if Ratha had his way and used the serum on dozens of subjects.
* {{Transhuman}}: Dr. Connors' views on human nature are reminiscent of Transhumanism's principal tenets - that the limits of the human body can be overcome through science.
* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: He honestly believes he's doing all mankind a favor, even if he must ''force'' them to accept it.
* VisionaryVillain: Dr. Connors is driven by a vision of a "world without weakness" where humanity's physical flaws are corrected by science.
* WallCrawl: He climbs up Oscorp Tower with his bare hands, complete with an allusion to ''Film/KingKong''.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Dr. Connors longs to create a world in which everyone is equal, a world in which illness and weakness don't exist. Injected with the Lizard serum, he comes to the conclusion his vision can be made a reality by making everyone like him, even if that means forcing the change upon everyone against their will.
-->'''Lizard:''' All these souls, lost and alone. I can save them! I can cure them! There's no need to stop me, Peter!
* WesternTerrorists: The Lizard's EvilPlan is referred to as a "terrorist plot" in a news flash.
* WickedCultured: In addition to being an awesome scientist, and the Lizard, Connors can quote incredibly appropriate poetry, in this case from Michelangelo's "The Silkworm".
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: The injection of the Lizard serum not only has transformed Dr. Conners but has made him very insane.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: He just wanted to overcome his disability, and help other people overcome their own.

A world without power... a world without mercy... a world without Spider-Man! Then everyone will be able to see me for who I truly am... Don't you know? I'm Electro!"''

An Oscorp electrical engineer who felt ignored by the world and developed an unhealthy obsession with Spider-Man. After suffering an accident involving an electric wire and a tank of mutated electric eels, Dillon's skin turned blue and he gained the power to control electricity.
----
* AbusiveParents: In a deleted scene, his mother treats him cruelly and insults him despite the fact that he is working hard to take care of her. Since this wasn't included in the final cut of the film however it's not clear whether it's canon.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: At least pre-Electro. In the original continuity, Max was a {{Jerkass}} with few morals long before even becoming a supervillain. Here, he's a nicer guy (if somewhat unstable) before turning into a TragicVillain.
* AdaptationalSympathy: His sufferings in this film, being a relentlessly bullied electrician instead of the victim of a freak accident, make his turn to villainy more understandable than in the comics.
* AGodAmI: By the end of the film, his powers have expanded to such a degree that he declares this of himself.
-->'''Electro:''' You're too late, Spider-Man. I designed this power grid. Now I'm gonna take back what is rightfully mine. I will control everything and I will be like a god to them!
* AlternateSelf: His [[Film/SpiderManNoWayHome appearance on Earth-199999]] eventually [[spoiler:diverges into a separate variant as a result of that Earth's Spider-Man curing him, and with a better, "easy on the eyes", physical appearance than his original looks.]]
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: He gets blue skin after gaining his powers. He turns redder when fully using his powers.
* AntiVillain: He was a powerless nobody who was ignored, exploited, and abused by the people around him. When he finally gets his powers, multiple misunderstandings cause him to snap and lash out against the world that he feels has wronged him.
* AxCrazy: Started off as a LoonyFan to Spider-Man, [[FromBadToWorse then he got his powers and... well, the rest is history.]]
* BadassBaritone: His voice was naturally deep before his transformation. And the more electricity he absorbs, the deeper his voice becomes.
* BadassBoast: Tends to give out a lot of these as the quotes above will indicate.
* BadassBookworm: Much like Peter, though he's more skilled in things relating to electricity.
* BaldOfEvil: Post-transformation. Before it, he sports a truly hideous combover.
* BodyHorror: The transformation ''really'' took a toll on his appearance.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Max Dillon really liked Spider-Man at first, because Spidey helped pick up Max's work blueprints and said something mildly encouraging. Unfortunately, that scene meant way more to Max than it did to Peter, who couldn't immediately recall the meeting when super-powered Electro tried to bring up their 'friendship'.
* BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil: He's noticeably more villainous after being "examined" by Dr. Kafka.
* BigBadDuumvirate: [[spoiler:Eventually forms a partnership with Harry after being freed from Oscorp, though he's ultimately fighting Spider-Man for his own separate reasons.]]
* BigBadSlippage: Even after becoming Electro, he doesn't become antagonistic until he sees Spidey get admired by the crowd. And then Dr. Kafka tortures him, leading to [[spoiler:a BigBadDuumvirate with Harry.]]
* BlackAndNerdy: Initially. Not to mention [[CloudCuckooLander unusual]].
* BlackEyesOfCrazy: Develops these as Electro.
* BreathWeapon: During his last fight with Spider-Man, he pins him down and shoots electricity at him through shouting.
* BrokenPedestal: He sees Spider-Man as his enemy once a police officer tries to snipe him, even though Spider-Man was making it abundantly clear that he just wanted Electro to calm down. Nicely reinforced by the lyrics to "My Enemy".
-->He lied to me, he shot at me, he hates on me, he's using me, fragility, electricity, afraid of me! He's dead to me! He's dead to me! That Spider-Man, '''''HE IS MY ENEMY!!'''''
* BullyingADragon: On the receiving end of this from many after gaining his powers. It never ends well for them.
* ButtMonkey: His status as this is partly what makes him snap.
* CardboardPrison: In Electro's own words, Oscorp thought it was a ''[[SarcasmMode brilliant]]'' idea to place him in a harness that runs on electricity, the very substance he's made of and can control. Electro all but [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] how stupid that was. And he later proves this to be true when he breaks out of it during Harry's visit.
-->'''Electro:''' You do realize you locked me in a prison that runs... on electricity? I can feel it in the walls. I can feel it in my veins. No matter what you do, doc, you can't contain it. It's a force of nature. Like me.
* ChildishToothGap: Has a notable gap in his teeth as a part of his characterization as someone nebbish. It visibly closes as he gains his powers.
* ClimaxBoss: The climax of the second film centers around stopping Electro from taking over the city. However, he's not the last enemy, as Harry confronts Peter and Gwen soon after his defeat for a lower stakes (yet far more emotional) final confrontation.
* CompositeCharacter: Of several previous Electros.
** His origin is taken from the Electro seen in ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'' (an electrician turned into a superhuman that controls electricity thanks to genetically modified electric eels who gets in a fight with Spidey over a misunderstanding) and ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheNewAnimatedSeries'' (a social outcast seeking vengeance against the world he feels has wronged him).
** His appearance is a fusion of his [[ComicBook/UltimateMarvel Ultimate]] incarnation (a blue EnergyBeing) and his ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'' incarnation (wearing a suit to contain his powers).
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist:
** While both Dillon and Connors worked at Oscorp, Dillon is essentially the ButtMonkey while Connors was a highly respected scientist. Also while Connors mutated himself on purpose and became a lizard creature that acted as a more physical threat to Spider-Man, Dillon was mutated by accident and became a EnergyBeing with far more power than Spider-Man could fight without outsmarting Dillon.
** As he appeared in the last film before his series was rebooted, he contrasts Sandman from ''Spider-Man 3'' as the main threat in his film before Spider-Man confronts the second villain (Venom for Sandman and Harry for Electro). Both himself and Sandman are elemental beings with a weakness for water and their origins involve them falling into things, but Sandman had a personal connection to Peter Parker and was sympathetic as he simply wanted to look after his sick daughter while having only [[AccidentalMurder accidentally]] killed one person prior to getting his powers. Meanwhile, Electro was obsessed with Spider-Man, killed after getting his powers and was only sympathetic since most of his villainy was caused by how he was treated and experimented on after getting his powers.
* CurbStompBattle: His second fight with Spider-Man starts off even at first until Electro gets his second wind, at which point the fight turns into a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown with Spidey on the receiving end.
* DefeatEqualsExplosion: His body explodes after being force-fed with electricity to the point of overloading.
* DemotedToExtra: He doesn't play as big a role in the second console game as he did in the film.
* DesperatelyCravesAffection: He's an ExtremeDoormat with NoSocialSkills and possibly an AbusiveParent (if the deleted scene is canon), so the second he has a positive interaction with someone, he becomes obsessive. He is deeply touched that Gwen remembers his name barely a minute after meeting him and learning it, and after Spider-Man saves his life Max starts calling him his best friend and obsessing over him to the point of imagining what he would say if Spider-Man visited him on his birthday. The closest he's ever come to having an actually friend is with [[VillainousFriendship Harry Osborn]], who he saves after Harry tells Max that he needs him and ironically, it's due to him being more suspicious of people by the time they meet so they settle into being polite allies.
* DragonInChief: To a pre-Goblin Harry in the final act of the film, helping him reclaim Oscorp after he's kicked out.
* DrivenToVillainy: He had poor control of his powers at first, and clearly just wanted somebody to help him. Then the police attacked him.
* TheEeyore: He's had a miserable life and as a result he's rarely happy except when he thinks he's made a connection wit another person.
* ElectricBlackGuy: Since he's played by Foxx.
* ExtremeDoormat: Prior to the accident he had no self-confidence and therefore everybody at Oscorp took advantage of him. This led to nobody caring whether he was safe when making repairs and Oscorp not giving him credit for the power grid he designed. After getting his powers he quickly shows everyone why this was a mistake.
* EvilSoundsDeep: He gains a sinister bass-baritone voice upon gaining large quantities of electricity.
* EvilWearsBlack: He later wears a black skintight suit in the second film.
* {{Flight}}: He learns to levitate in the air in the second half of the film.
* ForgottenBirthday: Which kicks off a string of really unfortunate accidents that culminate in him becoming Electro.
* ForWantOfANail: New York could have had two heroes watching out for it if that police officer hadn't tried to snipe him.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: He transformed into a super-powered freak of nature all because he had to work an extended shift.
* GoingToGiveItMoreEnergy: [[spoiler:How Spider-Man and Gwen ultimately defeat him.]]
* TheHeavy: While Harry's actions as he tries to cure himself drive the plot, Electro's rampage is a far more prominent and direct threat.
* HumanoidAbomination: He ultimately ends up as a [[{{ComicBook/Watchmen}} Doctor Manhattan]]-esque ''thing'' made of electricity that occasionally takes on human form to communicate with or punch Spider-Man.
* HydroElectroCombo: In what is likely a ShoutOut to ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'', this version of Electro was mutated after falling into a water tank filled with genetically-engineered electric eels.
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: He wants to be able to save the day with Spider-Man.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: What Max ultimately and desperately desires is to have friends, genuine human bonding, and not be an invisible nobody that no one even cares about. As an effect, he easily latches onto people when they show some amount of decent human interaction towards him. Even the simple act of acknowledging his first name makes him latch onto people such as with Spider-Man, and Gwen for a brief moment. After becoming Electro, this desire takes on a more dangerous level. Also as shown when he teams up with Harry, his desire is so desperate that he is willing to unknowingly allow himself to be used just because he was needed and acknowledged as a friend.
* TheInformant: He would ''like'' to act like this for Spider-Man, at least. Spidey ''suggests'' that he is this, but only meant it as a pep-talk; he didn't realize Max would take it so seriously.
* InTheHood: In his first appearance as Electro, he wears one in an attempt to conceal himself.
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: He goes from unwittingly being a danger magnet to going out of his way to be a threat after he's convinced that Spider-Man set him up to be shot.
* LargeHam: Despite the more grounded tone of ''The Amazing Spider-Man'' films, his scenes are played up to be extremely hammy.
* LaughablyEvil: Electro can be pretty goofy at times with how he acts.
* {{Leitmotif}}: The electronic dubstep piece ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDyAouw3nUw My Enemy]]'', and its longer variation ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zYB1PLjKv0 The Electro Suite]]''. Both of these are implied to be representations of Electro's obsession, paranoia, and growing mental instability.
* LightningCanDoAnything: It can even [[spoiler:level ''Times friggin' Square'']]!
* LogicalWeakness:
** Water, as usual. [[ItOnlyWorksOnce However, he eventually gets to overcome it by vaporizing the water before it can touch him.]]
** In the analogy of "living beings being made up of 70% water, but can still drown", the "water" for Electro in this case, is electricity.
* LonersAreFreaks: Why it later drives him into villainy after becoming Electro.
* LoonyFan: He develops an obsessive fixation on the wall-crawler.
* MickeyMousing: Electro's Theme contains a lot of Dubstep, which usually cannot be heard by the characters in the movie themselves - however, during the final standoff between Spidey and Electro, the latter converts himself into his energy form and starts jumping between the coils of the power plant and punching Spidey in between. Every time he switches from one coil to another, he makes them emit one tone at a time, creating a tesla-coil rendition of "Itsy-Bitsy Spider". Spidey himself isn't particularly thrilled.
-->'''Spider-Man:''' I ''hate'' this song!
* MySuitIsAlsoSuper: Despite constantly shifting between solid form and streams of electricity, whenever he reforms in his physical body his shorts, and later his Oscorp equipment, reform with him.
* NearVillainVictory: He manages to trap Spider-Man in a lightning tether created from his powers and could've slowly fry him to death if it wasn't for Gwen ramming him with a stolen police car.
* {{Nerd}}: Before his transformation, the movie does its best to make Jamie Foxx look like an unattractive nerd by giving him a combover, glasses, and fake bad teeth.
* NeverFoundTheBody: [[spoiler:Though it seems like he died in his last fight with Spider-Man, his ability to manipulate electricity leaves his fate ambiguous - especially considering that he phases in and out via particles a handful of time through the movie. Creator/JamieFoxx himself even lampshades this by saying that "electricity cannot truly die", implying he might have made a return. Subverted in ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'' in which Max laments he was minutes away from death.]]
* NoBodyLeftBehind: He explodes after being overloaded with electricity with no trace of his physical body.
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: He designed the plans for the city's power grid. How does karma repay him? By having those designs stolen by [[BadBoss Alistair Smythe]] who then forces him to work an extended shift which would lead to the fateful accident that turns him into Electro.
* NoSocialSkills: Due to being an ExtremeDoormat he has no friends and doesn't know how to interact with people, with most of his interactions with others being awkward.
* PayEvilUntoEvil: [[spoiler:He straps Dr. Kafka into the same harness that had been used to contain him.]]
* PersonOfMassDestruction: He causes considerable collateral damage to Times Square alone in his first confrontation with Spider-Man and that was ''before'' he learned to control his powers. When he gets a better handle on his abilities, he causes a city-wide blackout that endangers several people at a hospital and nearly causes two planes to crash in midair.
* PsychoElectro: What's unique about this case is that it's shown that he was always kind of off. Having super-powers only made it worse.
* PsychopathicManchild: While more or less harmless before the accident, once he gets powers he is no longer the ExtremeDoormat he's been his whole life and finally acts on the fantasies he has when people anger him. His obsession with Spider-Man, born from one interaction after the hero saved him, means that when he believes the wall-crawler has betrayed him, he becomes determined to kill him.
* RaceLift: Electro is traditionally white in the comics and other adaptations. Here, he's played by African-American Jamie Foxx.
* RoomFullOfCrazy: Has a room filled with pictures and reports of Spider-Man, as well as cut-out messages he probably wrote himself. There is also a photo of Spidey place next to a mirror so that Max can pretend he is Spider-Mans' best buddy.
* SanitySlippage: Again, he was a LoonyFan to Spider-Man with a RoomFullOfCrazy, but not outwardly malicious. Getting superpowers just made it worse.
* ScaryBlackMan: Though his skin isn't actually black by the time he gets scary.
* ShadowArchetype: He's a lot like Peter and possibly represents what he could have become without Uncle Ben and Aunt May.
* ShockAndAwe: Aside from being able to zap things at will, he can make quick transit between objects that use electricity.
* {{Sidekick}}: Except not really. He deludes himself into thinking that he's Spider-Man's partner.
* StalkerWithoutACrush: His defining trait. Due to his extreme loneliness, Max is desperate for any type of companionship. Thus, being treated without the contempt or indifference he's used to will cause him to instantly latch on to that person such as Spider-Man or Gwen.
* TemptingFate: He remarks to Spider-Man of DidntSeeThatComing after trapping him in a lightning tether with his powers while slowly frying to death, and didn't expect Gwen Stacy driving a stolen police car straight into him.
* ThenLetMeBeEvil: He was just a ButtMonkey that nobody gave a damn about, then he got his powers and was taunted and jeered as a freak of nature, next to a series of tragic misunderstandings involving Spider-Man plus being tortured by Dr. Kafka, making him finally decide that if the world wanted a monster, he'll ''give'' them one.
-->'''Electro's thoughts:''' They lied to me, they shot at me, they hate on me, they're using me, afraid of me, they're dead to me! They lied to me, they shot at me, they hate on me, they're dead to me, ''and now they're all my enemy!''
* TragicVillain: Being a ButtMonkey, he wanted to have friends and be accepted in society. When he turned into Electro, everyone starts calling him a freak, and it pushed him over the edge.
* {{Troll}}: During their final battle, Electro rams Spidey through tesla coils, creating a rendition of the Itsy-Bitsy Spider song just to taunt the guy.
* TookALevelInBadass: His freak lab accident turns him from a meek nerd to a powerful electric being.
* TookALevelInJerkass: He goes from being a sympathetic nobody to a deranged murderer after he loses faith in Spider-Man, deciding to establish himself as a force to be reckoned with.
* UnPerson: [[spoiler:Oscorp deletes his personnel file after his accident because they feared their stock would crash if an employee died on their watch; this even before they found out they've created yet another supervillain.]]
* UnwittingPawn: Again, to Harry during the later parts of the movie. Harry only needed him because he was desperate to get back into Oscorp to obtain the cure for his disease. After serving his role, however, Harry still keeps his end of the bargain by giving him access to the power grid.
* VillainousFriendship: Starts one with the Green Goblin.
* VolcanicVeins: Develops glowing blue veins as Electro.
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: The only villain in the Duology to actually die at Peter's hands, he's also a being of electricity, so no moral implications are talked about despite being TheMentallyDisturbed.
* WhosLaughingNow: Being a victim of bullying for most of his life meant that once he got his powers things didn't go so well for everyone else.
-->''"Soon everyone is this city is gonna know how it feels to live in my world. A world without power. A world without mercy."''
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Again, it's not hard to feel sorry for Maxwell Dillon after he becomes Electro.
* YellowLightningBlueLightning: Electro's lightning is primarily blue in color.

!!!'''Played by:''' Creator/DaneDeHaan
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Kevin Dorman (second console game), Creator/NolanNorth (second [=iOS=] game), Creator/AlejandroOrozco (Latin-American Spanish dub), Julien Allouf (European French dub)
!!!'''Appears In:''' ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2''

->''"You don't give people hope, you take it away. Now, I’m gonna take away yours."''

The 20-year-old son of Norman Osborn, introduced in the second film, he's dying of a genetic condition that runs in the family--and only Spider-Man can help him.
----
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: The Harry Osborn Green Goblin is a LegacyCharacter to his father Norman in the comics and most adaptations. Here he is the original.
* AdaptationalSympathy: To a degree. He doesn't become the Goblin to avenge his father's death because of his IrrationalHatred of Spider-Man like in the comics, but because he's dying and Peter wouldn't help him.
* AdaptationalVillainy: As opposed to Electro's AdaptationalNiceGuy above, Harry is notably less sympathetic than he was in the comics, being [[spoiler:the BigBad of the second film, and the Green Goblin that's responsible for Gwen Stacy's death, rather than his father. In the comics, Harry and Gwen were close friends and he was greatly upset by her death.]]
* AlternateSelf: Has one on [[Characters/SpiderManTrilogy Earth-96283]].
* AnimeHair: Transforming into the Green Goblin automatically brushes up his hair in a jagged manner.
* ArchEnemy: [[spoiler:Killing Gwen Stacy makes him this to Peter and he's creating a team to take over New York and kill him.]]
* AxCrazy: Starts off with relatively decent behavior, but grows progressively insane as the movie continues, culminating in him, well, becoming the Goblin.
* BigBadDuumvirate: Becomes one of the main antagonists of the second film as his attempts to find a cure for his illness, putting him in conflict with Spider-Man and straining his friendship with Peter before he releases Electro and becomes the ComicBook/GreenGoblin.
* BigBadFriend: To Peter, his best friend when they were kids.
* BigBadSlippage: He actually starts out as a friend to Peter, but as his illness gets the better of him he loses his sanity. He goes full villain after being seized from Oscorp.
* BodyHorror: His disease becomes increasingly apparent as time goes by, with his skin falling apart. He later painfully mutates into a goblin-like creature with pale yellow-green skin, longer nose and ears, yellowed teeth, and discolored WildHair after being given the spider venom. The alternate cut of this scene is much more gross and disturbing.
* BothSidesHaveAPoint: He's terminally ill and wants Spider-Man's blood, believing it to be his only hope of survival; however, Spider-Man refuses, believing it might harm or kill him, or even turn Harry into a monster like the Lizard. While Spidey makes a valid point, Harry also does when he points out to Spidey that he's already dying, so he's got nothing to lose either way.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Peter Parker. This is notable in that Peter was the only friend he had who wasn't after his money.
* ColdHam: The character of Harry Osborn seems to have been written for a more dramatic actor, but Dane Dehaan is more restrained than is necessary.
* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: Never calls himself the Green Goblin, only named as such in the credits. In fact the word goblin isn't spoken by anyone.
* CompositeCharacter: With the Ultimate version of [[ComicBook/{{Venom}} Eddie Brock]], being Peter's childhood friend who reunites with him several years later and becomes a supervillain due to a perceived betrayal from Peter. He also has some elements of his father by becoming the first Green Goblin and [[spoiler:being responsible for Gwen Stacy's death.]]
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist:
** To the Lizard, who was a scientist at Oscorp who mutated himself using science he had helped to create for the purpose of regowing physical injuries. Harry meanwhile was the son of the company's owner and used science developed by others to try and cure himself of a genetic illness.
** To Venom of ''Spider-Man 3'', as Harry appeared in the last film before his film series was rebooted. Like Venom he is the last villain to appear in their respective films, and use a more powerful but sympathetic villain to fight Spider-Man. However Eddie Brock was a self-serving photographer who bonded with an alien symbiote, and as Venom was incredibly petty and selfish in his desire to kill Spider-Man. Harry however was a wealthy young man who used science to mutate himself into the Green Goblin while also using Oscorp weapons, and while curel he was motivated from the desire to survive the illness that killed his father. Harry also serves as a EvilCounterpart to the version of Harry who appeared in ''Spider-Man 3'' who sacrficed himself to save Spider-Man.
* DemotedToExtra: He doesn't play as big a role in the second console game as he did in the film.
* DisabledInTheAdaptation: Much like his father in this universe, this Harry suffers from an illness that'll eventually kill him and is ultimately the impetus for him becoming the Green Goblin.
* DrivenToVillainy: He was only looking for a way to cure his disease, and being kicked out of Oscorp certainly didn't help matters.
* EntitledBastard: Harry becomes angrier in his search for a cure to his disease. Even when Peter tells him that a blood transfusion from Spider-Man would be risky, Harry ignores him.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: While it's before he really slips, he's noticeably upset that Oscorp is experimenting on human subjects in Ravencroft.
* EvilCounterpart: As the Green Goblin, he is even more obviously this to Peter than his father was in the comics. In addition to being the same age as Peter, he's pushed into his StartOfDarkness by the sudden death of his father figure, and he gets his superpowers from a self-inflicted dose of the same spider venom that gave Peter his abilities.
* EvilFormerFriend: Becomes the Green Goblin. [[spoiler:Killing Gwen cements this.]]
* EvilIsHammy: Once he turns into the Goblin, all restraints are off. [[IncomingHam His very introduction]] has some wordless overacting even before delivering an overenunciated "Peter...".
* EvilLaugh: Pulls an impressive one before the final battle.
* EyeScream: When Spider-Man appears in person to inform Harry that he won't hand him his blood, Harry is so enraged that he hurls a glass of scotch at the wall. The shattering glass is so dramatic that it can be hard to notice Harry scream and clutch his face right afterwards, as if some of the tiny shards of glass flying everywhere had found their way back to him.
* {{Frameup}}: The accident that creates Electro is passed off as an experiment which is then pinned on Harry, which gives Oscorp's Board of Directors the excuse to kick him out of the company.
* InvoluntaryShapeshifter: [[spoiler:Is last seen in his normal human form, but he says his condition "comes and goes". A nod to the comic version (and the first trilogy) where being the Goblin was a mental illness rather than a physical change.]]
* JerkassHasAPoint: Harry wants Spider-Man's blood for its healing abilities as his only hope of survival. Spider-Man refuses as it could harm or kill him, but Harry points out he is already dying and has nothing to lose.
* KnightOfCerebus: The moment Harry becomes the Green Goblin, people start dying...
* LaughingMad: Develops a tendency towards maniacal laughter after he becomes the Green Goblin.
* MightAsWellNotBeInPrisonAtAll: Thanks to the assistance of Mr. Fiers, he's currently [[spoiler:overseeing the formation of the Sinister Six]] from his cell at Ravencroft.
* NeverMyFault: Harry exclusively blames Spider-Man's refusal to help him for his transformation and mutation, never mind that Spider-Man and Peter (from Harry's perspective) each gave valid points that there was no way of knowing if Spider-Man's blood would help or make things worse.
* NiceMeanAndInBetween: From a multiversal point of view in regard to Peter Parker's best friend, this Harry Osborn is the mean to the nice of [[Characters/MCUCitizensNewYorkCityMidtownSchoolOfScienceAndTechnology Earth-199999's Ned Leeds]] and the in-between of [[Characters/SpiderManTrilogy Earth-96283's Harry Osborn]]. He starts off as Peter Parker's best friend, but when Parker, as Spider-Man, refuses to give him his blood out of concern for his safety, he snaps and becomes the Green Goblin, leading him to kill Peter's girlfriend Gwen Stacy, becoming his arch-enemy and shattering their friendship forever.
* NotHisSled: He becomes the Green Goblin before his dad, unlike the comics and other incarnations (such as ''Film/SpiderMan3'' and unlike ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan''.[[note]]Or rather, how it appeared to be before TheReveal in that show.[[/note]])
* PainfulTransformation: Turning into the Green Goblin ''hurts''.
* PetTheDog: In a deleted scene, he spares Felicia during his rampage at Oscorp.
* PostClimaxConfrontation: The climactic battle against Electro is over, the villain is gone, the city is saved and it seems everything is just fine -- then suddenly Green Goblin appears, as one final challenge before the day is done.
* PowerArmor: The Goblin suit is a battle armor which also heals the wearer. Harry puts it on as a last resort after his attempt at a cure makes his condition worse.
* PowerDyesYourHair: After transforming into the Green Goblin, Harry's hair gets a green-ish hue.
* RememberTheNewGuy: Wasn't mentioned in the first film, but established in the second as Peter's childhood friend before he was packed off to boarding school.
* {{Revenge}}: After Oscorp kicks him out, Harry breaks Electro out of custody in exchange for Electro breaking him into Oscorp so he can cure himself. He encourages Electro to fight Spider-Man because he didn't help him earlier (though Electro is already spoiling for a fight). More directly, after he turns into the Goblin, Harry confronts Spider-Man and blames him for his current state.
* SanitySlippage: While he loses it in extreme situations before, he still manages to stay composed and competent right up until he has the Spider-venom injected into him, which causes him to lose his grip on sanity.
* SecretlyDying:
** He discovers he's inherited the genetic disorder that killed his father and takes the Goblin formula in an attempt to cure it.
** [[spoiler:It is in fact the same altered spider-venom that turned Peter into Spider-Man but due to it being coded to only Parker DNA it goes wrong. [[BodyHorror Horribly wrong.]]]]
* SequelAdaptationIconicVillain: After the first film focused on lesser-known ''Spider-Man'' villain The Lizard, Harry provided the sequel with this franchise's incarnation of the Green Goblin, [[spoiler:and he would have formed the Sinister Six had the series not been Cut Short.]]
* SlasherSmile: Sports one of these as the Goblin.
* ThatManIsDead: Declares that "Harry is dead!" [[spoiler:to Gwen after he takes her hostage and she tries to talk him down as Harry.]]
* VillainousFriendship: With Felicia and Electro.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Peter back when they were kids.
* WellDoneSonGuy: He grew to adulthood feeling his father never much cared about him. However, unlike his comic book counterpart and other versions, he never tries to gain his father's approval.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Neglected by his father as a child, taken away from his friends, and dying from a genetic condition, he gets betrayed by his subordinates at Oscorp and denied a possible cure by Spider-Man, leading to his descent into villainy. Just how much of a [[TheWoobie Woobie]] he is after he [[spoiler:causes Gwen's death]] is debatable.
* YoungAndInCharge: At 20, he's named by Norman Osborn to succeed him as head of Oscorp. The [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Board of Directors]] is not pleased.
* YouSeeImDying: He had the bad luck to inherit his father's genetic disease.

!!!'''Appears In:''' ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2''

->''"I am the Rhino! I told you I would be back!"''

A Russian crook that leads New York's [[TheMafiya Mafiya]]. Though he gets arrested by Spider-Man at the beginning of the sequel and subsequently incarcerated, he is eventually freed by Gustav Fiers and given a Rhino-shaped mech suit to squash the Spider with.
----
* AdvertisedExtra: The trailers and other promotional materials spoke of him like he was going to be a prominent villain, with his actor even receiving AndStarring citations. The reality is that he gets about five minutes total screentime between the start and end of the film, and vanishes between those points.
* AlternateSelf: A version of him could be briefly seen as a SinisterSilhouettes in ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'', resembling his appearance in the main comics as opposed to the MiniMecha he has here. He also has a counterpart in [[Characters/SonysSpiderManUniverse another universe]].
* AnimalMecha: His Rhino armor. It's interesting in that it can switch from bipedal to quadrupedal.
* AscendedExtra: In the second [=iOS=] game, he gets a more prominent role, serving as a middleman for the Russian mob in its dealings with Oscorp, and he even gets to be the FinalBoss.
* AxCrazy: Not to the extent of Electro or Goblin, but he's still pretty unstable.
* BadassDriver: He's evidently a greater threat to Spider-Man when he's behind the wheel. It's probably why he was put in a vehicular suit later on.
* BaldOfEvil: Made all the more evil by his tattoo.
* BookEnds: Spider-Man enters and exits the film confronting him.
* TheBusCameBack: He's thrown into prison early on in the movie, but he finally becomes the Rhino at the end during the PostClimaxConfrontation.
* CarFu: His truck literally plows through traffic.
* CardCarryingVillain: This exchange between him and Spidey.
-->'''Spider-Man:''' So, not much of a hugger?\\
'''Rhino:''' ''[pulls out machine gun]'' Ah! I am ''killer!''
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist:
** To the Lizard, who was a scientist who mutated himself into a lizard creature. The Rhino is instead a crimminal given an AnimalMecha and is nothing more than a henchman working for Harry Osborn and the Gentleman.
** As he appeared in the last film before his series was rebooted, his acts as one to the New Goblin from ''Spider-Man 3'' for the sole reason that both are only villains for a small amount of screen time. Harry Osborn was a billionaire who used a serum created by his father to gain enhanced physical abilities to get revenge on Spider-Man while also using advanced weaponry, but eventully came to see that his father was responsible for his own death and sacrificed himself to save Spider-Man. Rhino is a GenericDoomsdayVillain and a crimminal who has no personal connection to Spider-Man and his happy to try and kill him.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The very first scene with him is him literally plowing through traffic on a truck loaded with explosives, screaming the above quote at the top of his lungs and laughing maniacally.
* FinalBoss: In the second [=iOS=] game, he’s the final villain Spider-Man faces, having come back in the Rhino armor to seek revenge against him.
* GatlingGood: His armor comes with machine guns.
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: While Green Goblin and Electro at least get enough screen time to have established motivations, the same cannot be said for The Rhino.
* HumiliationConga: He tries to shoot Spidey and misses every shot, Spider-Man knocks the gun out of his hand, webs him up, and pulls down his pants. And as he hammily swears revenge, Spider-Man leaves just in time for his gun to fall on his head and knock him out, all in a spam of a minute.
* HuskyRusskie: A massive thuggish Russian criminal.
* {{Jobber}}: His role in the sequel is to get his ass kicked by Spider-Man at the beginning of the movie and stay in prison for the rest of it (until he comes back at the end in his armor); he's mainly there to add a little depth to the cinematic world than to pose as a serious threat to Peter. This goes hand-in-hand with his role in the comics where he's functionally the same - TheBrute for any villain needing muscle.
* LargeHam: He has a pretty hammy accent, as admitted by his actor.
* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: The only supervillain who didn't have a prior connection to Oscorp before becoming a villain.
* MiniMecha: His Rhino armor is big enough to fit a cockpit for him in its chest, but not quite humongous enough to fit in the HumongousMecha category.
* NoIndoorVoice: He's pretty much locked in a perpetual state of screaming at the top of his lungs.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: He wasn't much of a threat when he was your average criminal and was quickly dealt with by Spider-Man. But when he gets into [[PoweredArmor The Rhino Suit]], he becomes much more dangerous and formidable.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: The film ends just as Rhino and Spider-Man engage in a fight in the streets of New York. While the outcome isn't shown onscreen, [[spoiler:Peter confirms in ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'' that he did succeed in defeating Rhino.]]
* PoweredArmor: Interestingly enough, it's able to function as a bipedal mech ''or'' a quadrupedal one.
* RhinoRampage: Through the use of PowerArmor to boot.
* StarterVillain: The first villain to be defeated in the sequel, though he comes back in the final scene.
* TattooedCrook: He has a tattoo of barbed wire on his forehead.
* WalkingTank: The Rhino suit is armed to the teeth and extremely durable.
* WeWillMeetAgain: "This is not end, Spider!"
* WouldntHurtAChild: His sole redeeming factor - he stops shooting at the police when a child steps in front of him. It doesn't stop him from [[IShallTauntYou taunting]] the kid, though.

->''"I've identified several worthy candidates. Now that Spider-Man's gone, this city will never be the same."''

Appears in TheStinger of the first film, asking an imprisoned Dr. Connors if he told Peter the truth about his father. He can be seen wandering through Oscorp's secret tech in the sequel.
----
* AbortedArc: Whatever plans he had for Peter wound up being cancelled along with the series.
* AffablyEvil: Imposing he may be, but he's quite reserved and polite in conversation. He isn't called "The Gentleman" for nothing.
* AscendedExtra:
** In the sequel, he actually does something plot-important: providing the foundation for the Sinister Six.
** Also in the more traditional sense. Gustav Fiers hadn’t appeared in comic books ''at all'' at the time that he had made his appearance in the movies; his only prior appearance is as the BigBad of a [[Literature/SinisterSixTrilogy trilogy of Sinister Six]] prose novels. They were very well-received, which probably won him his spot in the films.
* EvilSoundsDeep: As indicated by his conversation with Dr. Connors, and later, Harry Osborn.
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: His appearance in the first film was just that - a man who appeared in the shadows.

* WalkingSpoiler: Mentioning him reveals a good portion of TheStinger, along with a major plot thread in the sequel.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Due to no more films in the series being produced, we never find out what Gustav Fiers planned to do with Peter Parker nor why he wanted to fund the Sinister Six. [[spoiler:''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'' makes no mention of him, so it can be implied that Fiers ultimately didn't go ahead with his plans.]]

!!!'''Appears In:''' ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan''

->''"There's one other thing. He has a star... tattooed... on his left hand."''
-->-- '''NYPD police officer'''

A run-of-the-mill robber and carjacker. [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin He kills Uncle Ben.]]
----
* AccidentalMurder: It seems his shooting of Uncle Ben is a case of this: it doesn't look like he intended to shoot Ben, as he is noticeably shocked when it happens.
* AdaptationalKarma: Inverted in the films themselves as Peter never captures him. However, related to the films version, it's Zigzagged in the tie-in game for the second one, as he get killed by Cletus Kasady due to his crimes.
* AffablyEvil: He robs a store, but is nice enough to give Peter the milk he couldn't afford. Plus, it doesn't look like he shot Ben intentionally, and he is noticeably shocked afterwards.
* AlternateSelf: Interestingly he has [[DecompositeCharacter two equivalents]] on [[Characters/SpiderManTrilogy Earth-96283]]: one as Dennis Carradine, who is the man Peter chose not to stop when he had the chance, and Flint Marko, who is the one who actually killed Ben Parker.
* BaitTheDog: After robbing a cashier, he throws Peter the milk the cashier wouldn't let him buy. A few minutes later, he shoots Uncle Ben.
* KarmaHoudini: Downplayed - though he doesn't get arrested in the first film, it's pretty clear that Spidey's still on the lookout for him by the end. However, he has eluded capture by the time of the sequel. A post on ''The Daily Bugle'''s Tumblr implies that he may have been apprehended by Spider-Man after a car chase through the streets of New York.
* KnightOfCerebus: Peter sure was having fun goofing off with his superpowers until this guy showed up.
* NoNameGiven: He's just known as "Uncle Ben's Killer" or "The Burglar" (like in the comics) or "The Cash Register Thief". His name is given as Dennis Carradine, the same as it was in ''Film/SpiderMan3'', in the second video game.
* SinisterShades: Part of the reason why Peter has so much trouble looking for him is because he can't recognize his face.
* TattooedCrook: A star on the left wrist.

!!!'''Played by:''' Creator/MartonCsokas
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Pierre-François Pistorio (European French dub)
!!!'''Appears In:''' ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2''

->''"I'm here to study you. To understand what you are, why you are. And I will get results. I always do."''

A doctor working at Ravencroft Institute that '[[ColdBloodedTorture examines]]' Max Dillon after his arrest.
----
* AdaptationalVillainy: The comic book version of the character was a psychologist concerned with treating ''[[GenderFlip her]]'' patients. In the original script for the movie, the character would have simply been a generic doctor that interacted little with Electro [[spoiler:and would subsequently not be attacked when he escaped.]]
* {{Camp}}: Probably the campiest character in ''any'' superhero film in recent history.
* FauxAffablyEvil: He's polite and soft-spoken to Electro, even when the latter knows that it's abundantly clear that the doctor is torturing him.
* ForScience: Why he's so insistent upon experimenting upon Electro.
* GenderBlenderName: Ashley is an unusual name for a man. This is because...
* GenderFlip: Kafka's a woman in the comics, but is played by a man in the film.
* HerrDoktor: He has a noticeable German accent.
* InNameOnly: This character is essentially to ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2'' what Deadpool was for ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'', sharing almost nothing in common with the character he is based upon. For starters, he's a woman in the comics, and ''that'' Ashley Kafka was actually concerned with helping her patients instead of "examining" them through torture. This character, however, is more or less ANaziByAnyOtherName.
* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:Electro putting him in the same harness that Kafka had used to torture him with.]]

!!!'''Appears In:''' ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2''

->''"Has your hand started to twitch yet? When you lay awake and you feel it coming, hiding under your skin, waiting to show itself. To show you who you really are."''

The head of Oscorp. Is said to be dying.
----
* AbusiveParents: Sent his 11-year-old son to boarding school and failed to be a good father. He doesn't appear to show any regret when Harry calls him out on this.
* AdaptationalWimp: Thanks to being DisabledInTheAdaptation, he never dons the Green Goblin persona.
* AgeLift: Rather older than any other version of Norman (who are portrayed as being in their forties or early fifties), at least going by the actor's age.
* AlternateSelf: Has one on [[Characters/SpiderManTrilogy Earth-96283]].
* AmbiguousSituation: Although a DeletedScene suggest that he's NotQuiteDead and that [[HumanPopsicle his head was cryogenically preserved in a jar]], it's unknown if this is canonical or not. [[spoiler:As Peter never mentions having encountered Norman Osborn in person while dealing with Norman's [[Characters/MCUGreenGoblin Earth-96283 counterpart]] in ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'', it can be implied that Osborn did die and his suggested survival isn't canonical or that Peter has yet to encounter a resurrected Osborn.]]
* AntiVillain:
** All that genetic research with the nasty side-effects? It's all done in order to keep himself and his son from dying of a serious illness.
** [[spoiler:Eventually subverted - he was using Richard Parker's research to create biological weapons that he could sell to the highest bidder.]]
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:He apparently dies of the painful disease he's carried, which is just as well considering the suffering he's been responsible for. This may be subverted by evidence of being preserved cryogenically, which implies he's NotQuiteDead.]]
* BodyHorror: The sickness he has leaves him bedridden, makes him look seriously unwell, and causes his voice to become guttural. Also he has ''claws''.
** The "claws" may simply be due to neglect of his hygiene since he knows he's terminally ill and doesn't see reason to bother trimming his nails. This doesn't make them any less unnerving, though, when combined with his withering hands.
* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:He supposedly dies offscreen - but there's evidence that his body was put into cryostasis.]]
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Is Oscorp's CEO and has been monitoring Peter, among numerous other illegal projects.
* DarkLordOnLifeSupport: A very shady CorruptCorporateExecutive and the film's GreaterscopeVillain is seen barely hanging on life via several medical apparatus.
* DeadAlternateCounterpart: PlayedWith in regards to his iteration from [[Characters/SpiderManTrilogy Earth-96283]]. That version was dead at the end of [[Film/SpiderMan1 his first movie]], with this Norman following suit partway through ''TASM 2''. ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'' resurrects the Earth-96283 Norman thanks to the [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse Earth-199999]] Peter Parker messing up one of Doctor Strange's spells, so ''TASM'' Norman winds up being the DeadAlternateCounterpart to that Norman.
* DeathByAdaptation: Norman is alive and well in the comics and most versions, but this one bites the dust partway into the film.
* DecompositeCharacter: Has his usual role in the comics and other versions of being the original Green Goblin [[spoiler:and Gwen Stacy's killer]] is taken by his son, Harry, and his other role of being a ruthless businessman is given to CanonForeigner Doctor Rajit Ratha.
* DemotedToExtra: ZigZagged. In the comics and most adaptations, he is Spider-Man's most famous ArchEnemy. This version dies after his first scene without becoming the Green Goblin but is nonetheless the GreaterScopeVillain of the film series.
* DisabledInTheAdaptation: The comics Norman has never had an arc where his health was in danger. The MythArc of this series is due to this Norman being terminally ill. Additionally, the hologram of him in the first film shows him wearing glasses.
* TheDreaded: Other characters seem to be afraid of him, which is pretty reasonable given his counterpart's personality. It might just be the fact that could fire them at any time.
* FaceFramedInShadow: There is a portrait of him displayed inside Oscorp, but it is covered in shadows.
* TheGhost: Never appears on screen in the first film, only discussed by other characters. No longer the case as of the second film, as Norman does show up in person.
* GreaterScopeVillain: Of the entire film series.
* HumanPopsicle: According to [[http://www.movieweb.com/news/shocking-amazing-spider-man-2-post-credit-scene-reveals-huge-spoiler pictures]] on the set of ''The Amazing Spider-Man 2'', [[spoiler:the rumors of his death were greatly exaggerated, as he was cryogenically frozen until a cure for the disease could be found. However, he is also a [[BrainInAJar head in a jar]] because of the effects of the disease.]]
* InNameOnly: Aside from retaining his name and roles of being the head of Oscorp and father of Harry, he has nothing in common with his comic book counterpart (mainly through the fact that he is dying and most of his usual roles from the comics and other versions are given to other characters).
* {{Jerkass}}: He's not particularly nice to Harry when he visits - but at the least, [[PetTheDog he tells his son to make the most of his legacy]], implying that there's a '''bit''' of a JerkWithAHeartOfGold in regards to his own flesh and blood. [[spoiler:Unless there's an ulterior motive at play.]]
* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:Material on the Blu-Ray/DVD release of ''The Amazing Spider-Man 2'' indicates that he's not dead at all, but being preserved cryogenically.]]
* ScaryShinyGlasses: His giant model covered in shadows has them.
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Though oddly averted in the archive footage, where he presumably wears contact lenses.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: He is well-regarded as a philanthropist and a hero to the scientific community, in spite of his illegal actions behind the scenes.
* YouSeeImDying: He's dying of an unknown disease.

!!!'''Played by:''' Creator/IrrfanKhan
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Alfredo Gabriel Basurto (Latin-American Spanish dub), Akio Hirose (Japanese dub), Stéphane Fourreau (European French dub)
!!!'''Appears In:''' ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan''

->''"Norman Osborn is dying, Dr. Connors. Save him. Or we'll both lose our heads."''

Norman Osborn's [[MouthOfSauron representative]]. Because Osborn is dying, Ratha pressures Connors into beginning human trials for his limb-regenerating formula. When Connors refuses, Ratha fires him and takes the formula to test at the veterans' hospital.
----
* AdaptationalVillainy: The video game sequel manages to make him even more corrupt, revealing he not only wanted to use Connors’ research for a cure, but to make cross-species monsters to sell on the black market. He also threatened to blacklist Michael Morbius to force him to help him, and he got involved with the Mafia, getting them to loan him an expendable thug that he mutated into the Rhino, intending to sell Rhino to them. [[spoiler:Fortunately, he died before he could do this.]]
* AlliterativeName: '''R'''ajit '''R'''atha.
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:Deleted scenes show he was killed by the Lizard, and the ''Daily Bugle'' ARG confirms this is canon.]]
* BollywoodNerd: Though, unlike most versions of this trope, he is very serious and often sinister.
* CanonForeigner: Made exclusively for the movie.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: He was planning on using military amputees ''[[KickTheDog as Guinea Pigs]]''!
** The video game sequel reveals he’s corrupt even by Oscorp standards, having connections with the black market and planning to sell cross-species monsters to numerous shady sources to be used as weapons.
* DragonWithAnAgenda: The video game sequel reveals he intended to use Connors’ research to create cross-species monsters to sell as weapons to shady clients on the black market. [[spoiler:He was killed before this could happen]], but he left the Rhino behind.
* {{Expy}}: He is essentially an Indian version of the Norman Osborn from the comics and other versions, only without the Green Goblin element. Heck, he shares a stronger resemblance towards the Norman of the comics and other versions than the version that is featured in this film series.
* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: Dude was planning on testing the Lizard formula on patients at a veterans hospital, disguised as a flu shot and with no concern over the potential side effects. That's so wrong on many levels...
* MouthOfSauron: Acts as this for Norman Osborn.
* PetTheDog: In a deleted scene, he tells Peter that he is bound to do great things with his abilities. Whether or not he was just smooth talking Peter into getting a job at Oscorp was ambiguous, but it's a surprisingly kind gesture.
* SecretKeeper: He clearly knows a lot more than he lets on about Peter's father.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In the theatrical cut of the first film, he disappears after the bridge scene. Deleted scenes for the film reveal where he went - [[spoiler:he got killed by the Lizard shortly after the bridge incident. The Daily Bugle Tumblr indicates that sewer workers found his body some time later.]]

* CorruptCorporateExecutive: It seems to be a pattern that anyone high up in Oscorp turns out to be
* KickTheDog:
** He reminds Max about his ForgottenBirthday... After forcing him to work overtime.

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Glenn Steinbaum (second console game), Creator/ChristopherDanielBarnes (IOS version), Jesús Cortéz (Latin-American Spanish dub), Jean-Pol Brissart (European French dub)
!!!'''Appears In:''' ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2''

An assistant to Norman Osborn at Oscorp.
----
* AdaptedOut: The second console game reveals that the Menken we’ve been seeing was actually [[spoiler:the Chameleon in disguise.]]
* AdaptationalWimp: The IOS version depicts him as being a middleman between Oscorp and the gangs for Oscorp’s weapons dealings and rather out of his depth, rather than the higher up he is otherwise depicted as in the second console game and the film. Ironically, he is even more of a SmugSnake than he is in the films.
* BullyingADragon: He tries talking down to Electro when Harry gets back into Oscorp. It goes about as well as you'd expect.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Noticing a pattern with the people that run Oscorp?
* DeathByAdaptation: While his death was cut from the second film and his fate is left ambiguous in [[VideoGame/TheAmazingSpiderMan2 the console game]], the IOS version has him murdered by the Green Goblin.
* DisneyVillainDeath: Not in the official film, but deleted scenes show that Goblin took him to the top of the Oscorp tower and threw him off. It's hard to feel bad for him.
* EvilIsPetty: Honestly, it appears the man is literally incapable of doing anything unless he's screwing someone over. Max Dillon ''works for Oscorp'' yet Menken steals his designs and implements them without giving him an ounce of credit. At least in the previous film, Connors was actually given a choice to continue his work before they tried to steal it.
* FrameUp: He places the blame of the accident with Max Dillon onto Harry Osborn so he can sit at the head of Oscorp.
* GreaterScopeVillain:
** As the head of Oscorp and [[spoiler:the one who injected the Goblin Formula into Harry]] in the second movie.
** Averted in the IOS version, where he is nothing but a middleman between Oscorp and the gangs.
* HateSink: He is a corrupt employee of Oscorp who seeks to usurp Harry Osborn as CEO after his father's death. Menken has Max Dillon, A.K.A. Electro committed to Ravencroft, where he uses footage of Max to [[FrameUp frame]] Harry for the accident that turned him into Electro. Menken kicks Harry out of Oscorp, but not before [[KickTheDog spitefully]] telling him that he's going to die a horrible death and no one will care.
* HeKnowsTooMuch: In the IOS game, Harry assassinates him right after Spider-Man captures him.
* KickTheDog: After causing Harry to lose his position as head of Oscorp, Menken twists the knife by saying Harry will die a horrible death and no one will care.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: It's not clear where he goes [[spoiler:after injecting the Goblin Formula into Harry]], but he seemingly escapes. [[spoiler:Harry was supposed to have killed him during a rampage through Oscorp, but the entire sequence was removed from the film.]]

Harry Osborn's personal assistant and secretary who [[WordOfGod has romantic feelings for him]]. She tells him of the off the books project that leads to him working with Max Dillon and becoming the Green Goblin.
----
* AdaptationDyeJob: In the comics she's blonde, in the film she has brown hair.
* AdaptationalHeroism: She is not a ClassyCatBurglar like her comic book self.
* AdaptationalWimp: Black Cat is one of the most credible {{Action Girl}}s in the Spider-Man mythos. No signs of that in this version. [[spoiler:[[WhatCouldHaveBeen Only because she never got that far]]]].
* AlternateSelf: She has a counterpart in [[Characters/SonysSpiderManUniverse another universe]].
* DarkChick: Subverted - given that she's the assistant of the main villain of the second film, it seems as though she would fit the mold. However, she doesn't do anything evil, and only tries to help Harry get better. [[spoiler:Had she assumed her persona as Black Cat as intended for future films, it's still unknown if she'd become this or be an ally to Spidey as she occasionally is]].
* DemotedToExtra: Black Cat is a pretty iconic character in the comics, but Felicia appears only in one of the films with a minor role and does not show up as her masked identity. [[spoiler:She would have graduated to AscendedExtra in later films as Black Cat]].
* FirstNameBasis: With Harry, unlike the Oscorp executives because they're "not his friends". Also, her last name being Hardy is only confirmed in the credits.
* GirlFriday: Is this to Harry.
* InNameOnly: Aside from her name, she has nothing in common with her comic book counterpart. [[spoiler:Even though she was ''supposed'' to]].
* NiceGirl: A dedicated assistant who walks the extra mile to help her boss.
* PetTheDog: Although she doesn't do anything villainous, she's aware of Oscorp's secret project. She tells Harry about it because she realizes it can save his life.

* RavenHairIvorySkin: In contrast to the comics, where she was platinum blonde.
* SexySecretary: Portrayed by the attractive Felicity Jones and there is mutual attraction between her and her boss.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: By telling Harry about Oscorp's secret projects, [[NiceJobBreakingItHero she inadvertently created the conflict found in the second half of the film]].
* VillainousFriendship: Subverted regarding her friendship with Harry because she is not a villain at all. [[spoiler:It was intended she'd have this with Spider-Man after assuming her constumed persona, like in the comics]].
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: It's not clear if she lost her job after Harry was kicked out of the company. [[spoiler:Future movies would have had her becoming the Black Cat, but still left ambiguous if it it's due to her being fired or because she left on her volition]].

Peter's uncle and aunt, who look after him when his mother and father disappear.

* AdaptationDyeJob: Aunt May has dark brown hair worn loose instead of her classic grey hair in a bun look.
* AdultFear: Shortly after the death of your husband, the teenage nephew who you've raised as your own and is the last of your family repeatedly stays out all night and returns home covered in cuts and bruises.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Uncle Ben seems to believe this, if him telling Gwen (who he acknowledged Peter's crush on earlier) that he was Peter's probation officer is any indication.
* AlternateSelf: On [[Characters/SpiderManTrilogy Earth-96283]], [[Characters/MCUCitizensNewYorkCity Earth-199999]] and [[WesternAnimation/WhatIf2021 an unknown zombie outbreak Earth]]

* CoolOldGuy: Uncle Ben.

* DeathByOriginStory: Uncle Ben is killed by a robber who Peter neglected to stop, kicking off the process that would ultimately make him become Spider-Man.
* DemotedToExtra / OutOfFocus: Uncle Ben has less screen-time and a less prominent role in Peter's life in this adaptation (as opposed to the comics and other adaptations) in detriment of his brother, Richard Parker, and Captain George Stacy.
* DoomedByCanon: Uncle Ben.
* GoodParents: In spite of not actually being Peter's biological parents.
* HappilyMarried: Though Aunt May unfortunately becomes widowed.
* HeroicBystander: Uncle Ben. [[ForegoneConclusion We all knew what the result would be, unfortunately.]]
* IdiotBall: Uncle Ben. He’s usually a responsible and wise guy, then he tries to stop a criminal by grabbing his gun. {{Facepalm}}.
* InstantDeathBullet: Unlike the Raimi films, when Uncle Ben is shot, he's already dead by the time Peter gets to him.
* LethalChef: While Aunt May is usually a good cook, her meatloaf is apparently so bad that Uncle Ben knows something's wrong with Peter when he eats it eagerly and loves it.

* {{Nephewism}}: Par the course. Of course, it ''is'' explained what happened with Peter's parents.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: Ben in this version is a draftsman (specifically he designed bridges) and thus is pretty damn smart himself. He just doesn't ''quite'' have the mechanical and technical genius Peter and his father possessed.
* ParentalSubstitute: Though Peter actually knew his parents fairly well in this continuity, his aunt and uncle do a fine job of raising him after their untimely deaths.
* SecretSecretKeeper: Possibly. It is hinted that Aunt May has deduced Peter is Spider-Man, but he isn't aware of it.
* TooDumbToLive: Ben dies by grabbing the robber's gun. Seriously, what was he thinking?

!!!'''Appears In:''' ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan'' | ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2'' (deleted scenes)

Resident JerkJock and BigManOnCampus. Though he predictably targets Peter, [[DramaticIrony he grows to idolize Spider-Man]]. He is revealed to have a HiddenHeartOfGold after Peter's uncle dies.
----
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the comics, Flash during high school had the tendency of mercilessly bullying Peter Parker (but he greatly admires Spider-Man) and then he and Peter become close friends in college. Here, while he initially still bullied Peter, Flash eventually becomes friends with Peter during ''high school'' instead of ''college''.
* AlternateSelf: Has one on [[Characters/SpiderManTrilogy Earth-96283]] and another on [[Characters/MCUCitizensNewYorkCityMidtownSchoolOfScienceAndTechnology Earth-199999]].
* BerserkButton: Calling him by his real name, Eugene.
* BigManOnCampus: To pretty much everyone but Peter and Gwen.
* TheBully: To Peter, [[CharacterDevelopment at first]].
* BullyingADragon: Surprisingly [[AvertedTrope averted]]. After Peter gains his powers, the two have altercations: in the first, [[SmugSuper Peter is actually the provoker]] and in the second, Flash simply wanted to give his condolences to Peter for Ben's death.
* EmbarrassingFirstName: At least he seems to think so.
* {{Fanboy}}: Of Spider-Man.
* HeroWorshipper: Near the end of the film. True to his comic book counterpart, Flash becomes a Spider-Man fanboy.
* HiddenDepths: [[WordOfSaintPaul Chris Zylka comments]] there's much more to Flash than he lets on, and that he doesn't ''quite'' enjoy being a bully. That may explain why he stopped picking on Peter too.
* HumiliationConga: Peter submits him to one after he gains his powers, when Flash ruins the work of another student. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0roGH0afL3Y See it by yourself]].
* InSpiteOfANail: As ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'' connects the Raimi and MCU Spider-Man films to the Webb series, Flash is the only character to be a classmate of Peter in all three universes.
* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: A ''huge'' fan of Spider-Man, especially in [[http://thedailybugle.tumblr.com/post/77330749548/we-asked-our-readers-how-they-thought-spider-man his write-up]] to the ''Daily Bugle''.
* JerkJock: Who, predictably, gives Peter a lot of garbage. [[HiddenDepths Until his uncle dies]].
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: This version is an even bigger jerk than the original trilogy, but has the humanizing aspects that weren't included. By the end of the movie, his "bullying" of Peter comes across more as friendly teasing.
* LovableJock: Progressively, finally up front by the end of the first film.
* LovesMyAlterEgo: Averted. Unlike the comics where he's a jerk to Peter while admiring Spider-man, here he admires Spider-Man while becoming nicer to Peter.
* PetTheDog: He apologizes to Peter about his uncle's death, and it's even implied he's deliberately offering himself up for a beating to give Peter a CatharsisFactor (though that would itself imply that his idea of catharsis is getting or giving physical abuse).
* TookALevelInKindness: He becomes a JerkWithAHeartOfGold by the end of the first movie.
* TruerToTheText: This version is the most faithful adaptation of the character among the three cinematic incarnations.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the comics and [[WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan cartoon]], Sally was an AlphaBitch who was very unpleasant and unsympathetic to Peter Parker, even more so than [[TheBully Flash Thomson]] at times. Her brief appearance here shows her to be a NiceGirl.
* AlternateSelf: Has one on [[Characters/MCUCitizensNewYorkCityMidtownSchoolOfScienceAndTechnology Earth-199999]].
* AllThereInTheManual: Her name is never given on screen and she's credited just as "Hot Girl", but WordOfGod confirms she's Sally Avril.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: She seems to be asking Peter out when she tells him that she likes his photos, an offer Peter is willing to accept, but it turns out that Sally's interest is because she wants to know if he could take some photos of her boyfriend's car.
* NiceGirl: From her minor screentime, she seems like a pretty sweet person.

----
* AbortedArc: As mentioned above, she was going to appear in the third movie before it was cancelled in favor of the Sony/Marvel deal.
* AlternateSelf: Has one on [[Characters/SpiderManTrilogy Earth-96283]] and an equivelant on [[Characters/MCUCitizensNewYorkCityMidtownSchoolOfScienceAndTechnology Earth-199999]] named Michelle Jones.
* AmbiguousSituation: It's unknown whether Peter hooks up with her after Gwen's death due to her DeletedScenes not being confirmed as canon, though the intent was for Mary Jane to become his new love interest in the following films. [[spoiler:However, as Peter states in ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'' that he no longer had a romantic life following Gwen's death and doesn't seem to make a connection with the "MJ" nickname, it's likely that he and Mary Jane didn't hook up, if they even met.]]
* AscendedExtra: What she was supposed to be for ''The Amazing Spider-Man 3'', in comparison to her role from ''The Amazing Spider-Man 2''. As it was stated above, she was cut out of the movie, making this a subverted trope.

* AlternateSelf: Has one on [[Characters/SpiderManTrilogy Earth-96283]] and on [[Characters/MCUCitizensNewYorkCity Earth-199999]].
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: When Peter suggests over an e-mail that Spider-Man might not be the menace that Jameson paints him as in his paper, his nearly instantaneous response is a single word [[NoIndoorVoice written in all-caps]]: "[[IncomingHam WRONG!]]"
* TheGhost: He's mentioned and seen replying to Peter's e-mail in ''The Amazing Spider-Man 2'', but never physically appears.
* JerkassHasAPoint: A number of his concerns about Spider-Man are reasonable (such as being responsible for property damage), though he's kind of an asshole about it.

[[folder: Eddie Brock]]

A reporter for ''The Daily Bugle'' who has written articles on the apprehension of criminals like serial killer Cletus Kasady, along with The Enforcers. Though he does not appear in ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2'' itself, his articles are included as viral marketing for the sequel.
----
* AdaptationalHeroism: It's implied by his writing that this version of Eddie Brock is a more ethical journalist and all-around better person than he was in the comics or [[Film/SpiderMan3 the movie that he previously appeared in.]]
* AdaptationalWimp: Is apparently just a normal person as the symbiote doesn't exist in this universe, as Peter makes no mention of it when his Raimi-Verse counterpart mentions his version in ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome''.
* AlternateSelf: Has one on [[Characters/SpiderManTrilogy Earth-96283]] and on [[Characters/SSUEddieBrockVenom another Earth]].
* ChekhovsNews: On a meta level. His article on Cletus Kasady is pretty obviously meant to hype up the then-forthcoming Webb-verse ''Venom'' movie, which ultimately never came to pass.
* HeroWorshipper: Implied - the second-to-last sentence in his article praises Spider-Man (which, considering that he's writing for the Daily Bugle, is saying something).
* IfItBleedsItLeads: Averted - the article he wrote is evidently too short to make it to the front page of a newspaper.
* IntrepidReporter: It takes some serious cohonies to write about a serial killer's capture.
* OneSteveLimit: Averted as he works alongside Edward Leeds, but since they are OnlyKnownByTheirNickname it's doubtful that it causes any issues.
* TheRealHeroes: He notes that the barista that reported on Kasady was a hero, and that her idol, Spider-Man, should be proud of ''her'' for her actions.
* TemptingFate: He confidently notes that he doesn't think that Kasady will bring about any more [[MythologyGag carnage]] now that he's in prison.
* WorstNewsJudgmentEver: You would think the Daily Bugle would place a greater emphasis on the capture of a '''serial killer'''.

An electronics engineer that works for Oscorp that designs electromagnetic tools. After the military fails to secure a contract that would make him a millionaire for his work, he modifies the antigravity harness he was working on to more closely resemble a certain bird of prey.
----
* AdaptationalHeroism: Since we don't know for certain that he will become Vulture, as many have use that identity in the comics, he is an example of this as there is nothing to suggest he is anything more than a scientist.
* AlternateSelf: Has one on [[Characters/MCUVulture Earth-199999]].
* EarlyBirdCameo: [[AccidentalPun No pun intended, should he become the Vulture.]] He is mentioned by ''The Daily Bugle'' as a scientist that is working on a flight-capable military harness, and the wings in question appear on the wall that Gustav Fiers passes by.

It is speculated that he will most likely transform into Carnage and escape from Ravencroft.
----
* AlternateSelf: Has one in [[Characters/SSUVenomsEnemies an alternate universe]].
* AntiClimax: {{Invoked|Trope}} on his part. He calmly turned himself in after murdering at least a dozen people, which caused him to be the subject of a major manhunt.
* AxCrazy: He was bad enough that he was placed on the FBI's Most Wanted.
* BigBad: He was probably supposed to serve as this for the ''Venom'' movie. When ''Film/{{Venom|2018}}'' came out, however, it was set in a completely different continuity, and Kasady was not the BigBad, [[spoiler:though he does make a cameo in TheStinger and eventually ''does'' become the BigBad of its sequel, ''Film/VenomLetThereBeCarnage''.]]
* BigDamnHeroes: Averted. Spider-Man didn't show up to kick his ass, much to the disappointment of the local that identified Kasady.
* DissonantSerenity: He was noted as being unnervingly calm when he turned himself into the FBI.
* EvilRedhead: He is noted as being a "notorious redhead" by Brock.

Smart, charismatic
and awkward nerd from Queens, Peter has been lovingly raised by his aunt May and uncle Ben ever since his parents disappeared when he was a little kid. The resurfacing of some of Richard Parker's mysterious research prompts Peter to look for his father's former colleague Dr. Curtis Connors confident, Gwen is the chief intern at Oscorp, [[SuperHeroOrigin where an encounter with a genetically altered spider changes his working in the same department as her mentor Dr. Connors, and takes her job very seriously. She becomes Peter's first and only real friend at school, and they awkwardly and clumsily grow closer to each other. Her life forever]].takes a complicated turn as she watches both Peter and Dr. Connors undergo radical transformations and finds herself becoming Peter's SecretKeeper.



* ActionHero: Obviously, his job has its fair share of action.
* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: Shockingly, yes. Starting with his parents, in the comics they died in a plane crash when he was a toddler leaving him with no memory of them. Here while he never knew why for years, it's clear that they were abandoning him with Ben and May when he was six. [[spoiler:Also, in the comics, Peter still suffered the loss of Uncle Ben, Captain Stacy and Gwen, but Peter is canonically seventeen in the first film and graduates in the second. That means unlike the comics version who had a decent amount of time separating these events, this version experienced all of them within a year or at least close to that]]. All of this means that in ''No Way Home'' he's the most depressed and beaten down Peter in comparison to his Raimi-Verse and MCU counterparts.
* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: A minor case but even prior to getting his powers this Peter was far more confident in how he talked to girls and stood up to Flash unlike his comic self who grew more confident after battling several super villains.
* AdaptationalRelationshipOverhaul: Unlike in the comics where Peter never felt that he could tell Gwen his secret, here he tells her before they even officially start dating and in many ways she becomes his partner by helping him fight both Lizard and Electro.
* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. While this version of Spider-Man builds and uses mechanical web-shooters like in the comics, the web cartridges weren't his own design but from Oscorp's readily-made ''Bio-Cable'' product — webbing mass-manufactured from the same genetically-modified spiders as the one that bit him.
* TheAdjectivalSuperhero: He's the titular '''Amazing''' Spider-Man. [[spoiler:In Film/SpiderManNoWayHome, promotional materials use this to distinguish him from his [[SpiderManTrilogySpiderMan Raimi-Verse counterpart]], who is referred to as '''Friendly Neighborhood''' Spider-Man.]]
* AdoptTheDog: While he was never a bad guy, to begin with, his actions after gaining his superpowers were extremely self-centered and revenge-driven. It's not until he saves dozens of people from the Lizard's initial rampage that he really gets to becoming TheHero.
* AgeLift: Much like in ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries'' and the [[Film/SpiderManTrilogy Raimi trilogy]], Peter becomes Spider-Man when he's two years older than his 15-year-old counterpart in the comics.
* AlliterativeName: '''P'''eter '''P'''arker.
* AllWebbedUp: Does this to his enemies sometimes.
* AlternateSelf: Has one on [[Characters/SpiderManTrilogySpiderMan Earth-96283]], one on [[Characters/MCUSpiderMan Earth-199999]] and another on [[WesternAnimation/WhatIf2021 an unknown zombie outbreak Earth]].
* AlwaysSecondBest: He's this in terms of intellect according to Gwen after she creates more durable and electricity-resistant web-shooters for him.
-->'''Gwen:''' And that is why you were number two at Midtown.
* AnimalisticAbilities: He has the strength, speed, and the agility of a spider and he can [[WallCrawl crawl on walls]].
* AnimalMotif: The spider, obviously.
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: '''Spider'''-Man
* ApologeticAttacker: After first discovering his powers after taking a nap on the subway, he gets into a fight unintentionally on the train (see SpiderSense), apologizing to all of the people he's beating up.
* AntiHero: In the first film, Peter didn't really grasp the idea of WithGreatPowerComesGreatResponsibility, and focuses more on his [[{{Revenge}} personal crusade]] of finding Uncle Ben's killer, and acts pretty [[EntitledBastard entitled]] when the cops and media don't acknowledge his heroic deeds.
* ArachnidAppearanceAndAttire: Not to the degree of [[Film/SpiderManTrilogy the first live-action film trilogy]], since the webbing is not organic, but still typical of Spider-Man.
* TheAtoner: Probably after Uncle Ben is murdered, but he mainly becomes Spider-Man to seek {{Revenge}} against the murderer. More explicitly one (taking responsibility) after helping create the Lizard.
* BadassBookworm: He's like his comic book counterpart; a geeky NiceGuy who can solve your hardest algebra problems before breakfast is over while handing criminals their asses using his superhuman combat skills.
* BeingGoodSucks: He's Spider-Man; this is a given. Trying to do the right thing always results in personal pain towards him, such as keeping his promise to Captain Stacy and breaking up with Gwen which simply leaves him miserable.
* BetaOutfit: When he started searching for Uncle Ben's murderer for vengeance, he wore a red ski mask with lenses covering his eyes underneath a beanie and a black jacket before creating his signature Spider-Man spandex costume.
* BigEater: UpToEleven the night he gains his powers.
* BothSidesHaveAPoint: In the second film, he refuses to give Harry his blood, even to cure his fatal illness, because he believes it might harm or even kill him. Harry argues that he's ''already'' dying, so he has nothing to lose, but Spidey also makes the argument that his blood might do something even worse, like what happened with the Lizard.
* BrainsAndBrawn: The Brawn to Gwen's Brains when they team up against the bad guys. He takes care of the physical part, such as fighting the Lizard and distracting Electro.
* BrainyBrunette: A dark-brown-haired guy who made his own suit and webs.
* BrooklynRage: In contrast to his previous depiction, this Peter speaks with a Brooklyn accent.
* BruiserWithASoftCenter: As the first movie progresses, he starts to grow out of his SmugSuper tendencies.
* BuildingSwing: A staple of the character, as the TropeCodifier.
* BulletproofFashionPlate: Averted. In the first movie, Peter ends up with several bruises on his face from his crime-fighting, one even before he gets his powers. The injuries last for most of the movie, taking a realistic (if ''slightly'' accelerated) time to heal and causing characters to wonder what he's getting up to. The cuts on his chest likewise don't magically heal from one scene to the next.
* BullyHunter: One of the first things he does with his powers is to stand up to [[JerkJock Flash Thompson]] by embarrassing him in a basketball game. In the sequel, he also scares off a bunch of neighborhood bullies picking on a young boy named Jorge.
* ButForMeItWasTuesday: A rare heroic example in the second film; Spider-Man helps so many people on a daily basis that he doesn't remember Max Dillon until Max reminds him of that day. Technically speaking, Spider-Man does, in fact, remember Max, just not his name, and Max's transformation into Electro hasn't exactly made him easier to recognize.
* ButHeSoundsHandsome: Peter vehemently defends Spider-Man when Captain Stacy criticizes him, stating that while he doesn't believe Spider-Man is exactly a hero, he seems to be just trying to help.
* ButtMonkey: It is Spider-Man, after all.
* BystanderSyndrome: He lets a small-time crook get away with robbing a store because it's "not his policy" (and also partly because the clerk was a massive douche to him). He regrets this shortly after when the same crook [[DeathByOriginStory winds up killing Uncle Ben by accident.]]
* CallingTheOldManOut: [[PartingWordsRegret Towards Uncle Ben during their last conversation before his death.]] He gets mad at him for bringing up his dead father when he was scolding him and storms out in the process.
* CameraFiend: He often carries a camera with him to take pictures.
* CasualDangerDialogue: He quips and jokes against most of the foes he takes on.
* CannotSpitItOut: Peter has a ''huge'' problem with saying what he needs to. When he does, he relapses into a stuttering mess.
* CantGetAwayWithNuthin: He lets a thief get away because it "wasn't his policy" and because the cashier the thief stole from was a dick to him. Said thief kills Uncle Ben not longer after.
* TheCape: He has become this by the second film to the point where he has becomes popular among New Yorkers.
* CassandraTruth: Played with. [[spoiler:Peter tries to warn Captain Stacy that Dr. Connors is the giant lizard that has been terrorizing the city and that he ''transforms'' himself into a lizard thanks to his transgenic research. Stacy mocks him and seems to brush it off, but he actually requests research on Dr. Connors as soon as Peter leaves the police station; he thinks Peter sounds nuts, but he's willing to look into it anyway.]]
* CatchPhrase: [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe "You serious?"]]
* ChallengingTheBully: To a game of basketball. [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength He ends up breaking the hoop in the end.]]
* CharacterDevelopment: Peter starts off as an UnscrupulousHero, only stopping criminals because he's looking for Uncle Ben's killer. He grows more selfless after hearing Gwen's father dismiss him as "some vigilante who only has a personal vendetta" and then saving a small child during the Lizard's first attack before he finally settles into the ClassicalAntiHero he's known as [[spoiler:after the death of George Stacy]].
* ChestInsignia: Obviously, the black spider symbol.
* CivvieSpandex: His BetaOutfit consisted of a red ski mask, shades, skull cap and [[NotWearingTights casual clothes]].
* CombatParkour: In contrast to the previous movie version's brawler style, this version uses his superhuman agility and reflexes to perform various acrobatic and gymnastic feats such as jumping and flipping around his opponent before tackling them from the air. He can even perform barrel rolls in the air to avoid attacks.
* CombatPragmatist: It's easy to become one when you can shoot webs at your opponents and make use of the environment around you.
* CompositeCharacter: Given that this another retelling of Spider-Man's OriginStory, this Peter is mostly derived from the [[ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderManLeeAndDitko Lee-Ditko run]], but also takes aspects from John Romita Sr.'s time with the character (his similar hairstyle, more traditionally handsome looks, and relationship with Gwen).
* ContrivedClumsiness: Does this in the sequel when he helps Gwen evade Oscorp's security guards by pretending to accidentally spill coffee on them and trip them over.
* CoolBoard: A new addition to Peter's talents for this version is skateboarding. The first test of his powers comes when he tries skateboard tricks with them for one sequence. However, nobody at school treats him like he's cool for having a skateboard, and the one time he shows off his moves, he's in a deserted area.
* CoolLoser: As Honest Trailers [[https://youtu.be/l2KSPiTOMR8 puts it]]: "Peter Parker was just an attractive, intelligent, likable, athletic, well-dressed teenage loser."
* CoolMask: Would he really be Spider-Man without it?
* CostumeEvolution: In between films, he's updated the Spider-Man suit; it now looks similar to the one used in [[Film/SpiderManTrilogy the Sam Raimi trilogy]].
* CreateYourOwnVillain: In the first film, he forks over Richard Parker's Decay Rate Algorithm to Connors, which leads to the creation of the Lizard. In the sequel, his friendly conversation with Max Dillon causes the latter to become obsessed with Spider-Man and superheroics, eventually contributing to the accident that turns him into Electro. Also, his refusal to give his blood to Harry has forced him to take drastic measures to save his life, leading him to become the Green Goblin, who ends up causing Gwen's death. Peter indirectly made his own enemy.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: He has brown hair and brown eyes.
* DanceBattler: His fighting style is even more fluid and acrobatic than [[Film/SpiderManTrilogy his previous iteration]].
* DarkIsNotEvil: His first suit has much darker tones than the [[Film/SpiderManTrilogy Raimi one]] and has much darker lenses to boot, but he's undeniably a good man. The sequel subverts the dark part by giving him much brighter colors and white lenses, making him look closer to his comics counterpart.
* DeadpanSnarker: As Spider-Man.
* DeathWail: [[spoiler:He lets one out after George Stacy dies.]]
* {{Determinator}}: [[spoiler:He takes a pretty bad bullet wound before the final fight. It doesn't stop him from getting to Oscorp Tower and taking on the Lizard.]]
* DitzyGenius: While Peter's very intelligent and gifted, he's quite prone to making stupid decisions as seen in IdiotBall below.
* DodgeTheBullet: He's fast enough to easily dodge and avoid gunfire, as seen when a cop tries to shoot him and when Aleksei Sytsevich tries to shoot him with a machine gun.
* DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: He causes a ''lot'' of damage when still getting used to his powers. PlayedForLaughs for the most part. [[spoiler:[[MoodWhiplash Not so much]] after he has a fight with Uncle Ben and shatters the door glass upon storming out. Cue awkward silence and Uncle Ben opening the door to follow him.]]
* TheDogBitesBack: After getting his powers, he stands up to Flash's bullying and embarrasses him in a game of basketball. Unfortunately, this [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome lands him into trouble]] as he ''did'' humiliate Flash and also broke the backboard when doing so.
* DorkKnight: It shows through a ''little'' as Spider-Man.
* DramaPreservingHandicap: As a general thing, his web-shooters are constantly damaged in some way, subbing in for the "out of fluid" problem constant in the comics.
** In the first movie, [[spoiler:two. First, getting shot in the leg, affecting his ability to get to Oscorp unassisted, and in the last fight with the Lizard, his web-shooters are crushed.]]
** In the sequel, [[spoiler:one of his web-shooters is fried by Electro, but he manages to defeat him and save many bystanders nevertheless.]] Averted in the final battle.
* EnterStageWindow: Both times he visits Gwen, he enters through her bedroom window. In the first time, he claims he got there through the fire escape (''twenty stories'') because he's frightened of the doorman. [[spoiler:In the second time, she already knows he's Spider-Man so he doesn't have to come up with any excuse.]]
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Trying to help the kid that's being bullied and ending up being beat up in his place.
* TheEveryman: A staple of the character is that he's just an OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent before he got bit by the spider and received extraordinary superpowers in the process.
* ExtremityExtremist: Unlike [[Film/SpiderManTrilogy his previous iteration]], he focuses more on kicks than punches when he's not webbing people up.
* FailureHero: Downplayed as he beats the villains at the end of both his films, but he [[ILetGwenStacyDie suffers a major loss]] in both and the Gentleman along with Oscorp keep getting away with creating the villains. His failures in his films result in a clear depression and lack of self-worth in ''No Way Home''.
* FakeWeakness: PlayedForLaughs. He pretends to have a weakness for small knives to {{Troll}} a carjacker before webbing him to a wall.
* FriendlessBackground: He makes no friends at school except Gwen. [[spoiler:But Flash Thompson gets more chummy with him by the end, if not exactly becoming a close friend.]] Later, [[RememberTheNewGuy Harry Osborn]] is [[{{Retcon}} retconned]] in as a ChildhoodFriend, possibly his only friend before Gwen.
* FriendlyNeighborhoodSpider: Invoked. By the time of the second film, he's beloved by the people of New York.
* FriendToAllChildren: Peter is shown to be very kind and friendly towards young children.
** His first real act of heroism is saving a kid named Jack from a car about to fall into the ocean. He even unmasks himself to calm the boy down and is very gentle when it comes to rescuing him.
** In the sequel, he saves a little boy from bullies and uses his webbing to fix his project because the bullies broke it. The same boy later appears in the ending where Peter praises him for being brave for stepping up to Rhino.
* FromZeroToHero: He was just some unpopular kid in high school until he got bitten by a radioactive spider. Now he's New York's finest protector.
* TheGadfly: In true Spider-Man fashion, Peter likes annoying the hell out of his opponents to frustrate them and throw them off balance.
* GadgeteerGenius: He's good enough to create the web-shooters all by himself.
* GeniusBruiser: At the top of his class, and still tough enough to take on genetically-enhanced nutcases with his own two hands.
* GoingCommando: Let's just say Peter wears nothing underneath his Spider-Man costume(s), and end it at that.
* GoshDangItToHeck: When Gwen disobeys his order to immediately leave Oscorp Tower where the Lizard is heading towards and decides to get everybody out first.
-->'''Peter:''' Gwen! Gwen! You mother hubbard! Are you serious?!
* GuiltComplex: A staple of the character. In the sequel, [[spoiler:Captain George Stacy's]] death weighs heavily on him and he spends most of the movie deciding whether or not he should [[spoiler:follow his final wish to leave Gwen alone to protect her. His decision not to inevitably tragically to Gwen dying.]] [[spoiler:In ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'', Gwen's death is shown to have weighed so heavily on his conscience that he stopped being Peter Parker to fully focus on being Spider-Man.]]
* HappilyAdopted: Not as much as other versions as he was abandoned by his parents when he was six which leaves him more angry and he ends up taking out on Ben during their last conversation, but he loves both Ben and May dearly.
* HappyEndingOverride: Courtesy [[spoiler:of ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'']], where Peter claims [[BrokenBird he was never able to really deal with everything life threw at him.]] [[spoiler:Losing Gwen broke him fully, taking away his playful optimism and making him embittered to the point of claiming he "never had time to be Peter anymore". After five months of losing Gwen, he was able to channel his rage and sadness to be just Spider-Man again. It took many years and a Multiversal adventure to be Peter again.]]
* HealingFactor: He ''does'' have one, but it's dialed way back compared to some versions. It takes him a day or two to recover from some of the more serious beatings. He is able to heal from a gunshot to the leg and large cuts to his chest with only first aid, though. Elaborated a little more in the second film as a property of the spider that bit him.
** It gets ridiculous during the second movie where he's repeatedly shot with impossibly gigantic bolts of lightning and took the full brunt of enough electricity to power a city. His rubberized suit can do away with some of this, but the heat from the electricity (that people tend to forget about) would've melted it to his skin.
* HeartbrokenBadass: After [[spoiler:Gwen's death in the second movie.]]
* HeartwarmingOrphan: He turns out to be a really good person in spite of the deaths of his parents.
* TheHero: Obviously he's the main character.
* HeroWithBadPublicity: Initially, to the point the police were actively hunting him and shot him with tasers during the final act of the film. However he seems to get more and more admirers as he proves himself to be a hero and by the time ''2'' comes around, he seems to have gathered quite a fanbase, including a kid with his own version of the costume. Doesn't stop Jameson from trying to smear him, though.
* HeroicBSOD: In the sequel, [[spoiler:he enters one for ''five months'' after Gwen's death, being too depressed to even be Spider-Man during that time.]]
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Occasionally, he tends to speak about himself negatively, such as telling May at the end of the first film that he isn't good enough for Gwen. However it's justified as he tends to have a low opinion of himself when he makes life changing mistakes. This attitude gets worse by the time of ''No Way Home'''.
* HeroicSpirit: Even before he gains his powers, he already displayed shades of this. [[spoiler:He seems to be losing himself and becoming selfish once he becomes powerful, but he eventually grows out of it, regains his HeroicSpirit and develops it.]]
* HesBack: [[spoiler:After spending five months from being Spider-Man, watching Gwen's graduation speech encourages him to return just in time to fight the Rhino.]]
* HowDoIShotWeb: Overlaps with DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength. It's also played a bit more literally with him creating the web-shooters.
* HurtingHero: When he ''can't'' save someone, it really gets to him.
** [[spoiler:By the time of ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'', he's almost hurt beyond help.]]
* ILetGwenStacyDie: The death of Uncle Ben, which he could've prevented had he stopped the robber. At the end of the first movie, this is also how he feels about [[spoiler:Captain Stacy.]] [[spoiler:[[ComicBook/TheNightGwenStacyDied And true to form]], the TropeNamer herself is the biggest instance of this, bringing about a serious HeroicBSOD]].
* InterclassFriendship: With Harry Osborn. Peter comes from a middle-class background while Harry's the son of the head and CEO of the biggest corporations in New York.
* IShallTauntYou: A master of battle insult.
* IconicSequelOutfit: Peter's suit in the [[Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan first movie]] has its fans, but was criticized for the many creative liberties taken with the design, especially the small yellow eyes. In response, the suit was redesigned in [[Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2 the sequel]] with large, white eyes for what is arguably the most comic-accurate Spider-Man suit to date, [[WinBackTheCrowd to much warmer reception]].
* IdiotBall: Twice, both in the first film:
** Spider-Man, already a known vigilante, grabs it when he uses devices that have a "Property of Peter Parker" sticker attached on, in a scenario in which he knows his smart arch-enemy is lurking around. His enemy quickly tries to take advantage of this mistake.
** Peter figures out that Connors is The Lizard after finding a hideous mouse/lizard hybrid in Connors' lab, but he doesn't realize he has actual proof to connect Connors and the monstrosity and instead runs straight to Captain Stacy and gives a YouHaveToBelieveMe speech that gets him thrown out of the precinct.
* ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies: [[spoiler:Captain Stacy [[LastRequest makes him promise]] to pull this on Gwen to keep her safe.]] They eventually got back together in the sequel, but [[spoiler:Peter tried to pull this again because he felt guilty, only for ''Gwen'' to break up with him instead because she couldn't live with his constant doubts, subverting the trope.]]
* JerkassHasAPoint: While he was acting out during his argument with Uncle Ben, he was right to be mad at him for bringing up his late father and guilt-tripping him, both of which are pretty unfair.
* JerkassRealization: After George Stacy tells Peter that Spider-Man is nothing more than a vigilante with a grudge who is assaulting people with physical similarities, Peter realizes that despite what he had thought he hasn't actually been helping anyone but himself. This encourages him to go and fight the Lizard and let go of his desire to find Ben's killer.
* KickChick: Gender Inverted. In contrast to Tobey's version, Andrew's version prefers kicking his enemies instead of punching.
* KidHero: Downplayed as he became Spider-Man at the age of 17 in this version, instead of 15 like in the comics.
* LawyerFriendlyCameo:
** He did not make a physical appearance in the massive ComicBook/SpiderVerse crossover event due to Sony owning the rights to his incarnation of the character. However, the comic at one point leaves a strong implication that he along with his [[Film/SpiderManTrilogy original movie counterpart]] were indeed among the dozens of Spider-Men recruited into the battle against Morlun and the Inheritors, as there's a brief moment where two Spider-Men remark that they saw two other Spider-Men that looked exactly like "[[Creator/AndrewGarfield the guy]] from ''Film/TheSocialNetwork''" and "[[Creator/TobeyMaguire the guy]] from ''Film/{{Seabiscuit}}''."
** He later made a physical cameo in the final issue of ''ComicBook/SpiderGeddon''. Interestingly the comic depicts him in his ''[=TASM1=]'' outfit despite coming out in 2018.
* LeParkour: His acrobatics and physical prowess are somewhat similar to this.
* LightningBruiser: He's extremely fast and agile and easily dodges most of his opponent's attacks and has also been shown to be very strong as he's capable of holding large vehicles. Of course, compared to the Lizard, himself a LightningBruiser, Spidey comes across as a FragileSpeedster and is clearly outmatched against him in a straight fight.
* LonersAreFreaks: Why he is bullied since he is less of a stereotypical {{nerd}} in school (he shows his geeky side in private instead).
* LovableNerd: A more downplayed case than with other versions as he's more of an [[CoolLoser outsider]] than a nerd.
* MadeOfIron: Peter's durability is somewhat inconsistent: he gets realistic bruises on his face and knuckles from fighting ordinary humans, but can keep on fighting after being slammed around, thrown through walls and beaten up by the super-strong Lizard.
* MaskedLuchador: {{Invoked|Trope}}. Peter gets the inspiration for his Spider-Man mask from a ''lucha libre'' poster.
* MasterOfTheMixedMessage: He breaks up with Gwen near the end of the first film only to change his mind, and then he breaks up with her again at the start of the second film which leaves her angry. Then they try being friends though his actions clearly show he wants to be with her, and eventually they decide to be a couple again with him planning to move to England with her. It's justified however in that Peter feels guilty [[spoiler:about breaking his promise to a dying George Stacy to stay away from Gwen, which conflicts with his love for her and causes these situations.]]
* MidSeasonUpgrade: Gwen helps him make web-shooters that are much more durable and resistant to electricity because Electro short-circuited his web-shooters earlier in the movie.
* MovieSuperheroesWearBlack: His costume's much darker than the [[Characters/SpiderManTrilogySpiderMan previous iteration]] and has dark yellow lenses instead of white. {{Averted|Trope}} in the sequel where his costume's much brighter and he has the traditional white lenses from the comics.
* MiseryBuildsCharacter: This version of Spider-Man is famously shaped by [[ParentalAbandonment his]] [[ILetGwenStacyDie losses]].
* MotorMouth: When he's Spider-Man, he's a huge chatterbox which throws his opponents off-guard because of how much he's irritating them.
* MundaneUtility: He uses his webs to twirl Gwen in for a kiss in the first film and in the second to grab a coffee mug meters away and write I Love You on the side of the Brooklyn Bridge.
* MusclesAreMeaningless: He has a slender (though still fairly muscular) build, but he's strong enough to lift cars.
* MyGreatestFailure: At first, it was his Uncle Ben's, which inspired him to become Spider-Man. Then it was Captain Stacy's, whose death weighed heavily on his conscience during the beginning of the second film. And finally [[spoiler:it was Gwen's, which completely broke him as he revealed to the other Peters in ''Spider-Man: No Way Home''.]]
* MyGreatestSecondChance: [[spoiler:He saves [=MCU=] MJ from dying the same way Gwen did in ''Spider-Man: No Way Home''.]]
* MythologyGag: Peter spends some scenes wearing his clothes from ''[[WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan The Spectacular Spider-Man]]''.
* NerdsAreSexy: He's pretty good-looking and handsome even before the spider bite.
* NiceGuy: Aunt May goes out of her way to note how inherently ''good'' he is. The only time he doesn't count as this is when he picks up the JerkassBall in the first movie. Also, he is one of the only two people to have ever been kind to Max Dillon, the other being Gwen.
* TheOathBreaker: [[spoiler:Before dying, George Stacy makes Peter promise him that he would stay away from Gwen to save her from the dangers that comes into Peter's life as a superhero. Peter ultimately backs out on it, and has been hallucinating George's "ghost" due to guilt since. Unfortunately, George was proven right as Gwen ultimately dies by Harry Osborn's hands.]]
* OneManArmy: Par for the course, he's this. He takes down a group of people in a subway ''without intending to'' and manages to take down a SWAT Team after breaking free of his handcuffs later on.
* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: Up until he gets bitten by a genetically-engineered spider, that is.
* ParentalAbandonment: His parents left him with his aunt and uncle to keep him safe from harm when they realized someone dangerous was after them. They both died before they could reunite with their son. His Uncle Ben is later murdered by a common thug that he allowed to escape.
* PartingWordsRegret: He had a very tense argument with his Uncle Ben before he was killed by the mugger Peter allowed to get away.
* PersonalGainHurts: [[spoiler:Peter uses his new powers to get back at Flash and sets off a chain of events that ultimately lead to Uncle Ben's death (hinging on Peter thinking of himself first before others).]]
* PleaseWakeUp: [[spoiler:When Gwen dies in the final battle of ''2''.]]
* PrimaryColorChampion: As per usual his costume prominently sports red and blue.
* ProjectileWebbing: Unlike his previous depiction, he uses actual web-shooters.
* TheProtagonist: The main character of the series.
* PuppyDogEyes: In the sequel, [[spoiler:after they've broken up and laying ground-rules about being just friends]], Gwen notes that Peter has to stop looking at her like he does with "those big doe eyes".
* RefusalOfTheCall: He refused to stop a common criminal because it wasn't his policy (and because the clerk was an entitled {{Jerkass}} to him). This ends up biting him as the criminal ends up killing his Uncle Ben not long after.
* RelationshipRevolvingDoor: After [[spoiler:George Stacy's death]], he breaks up with Gwen to [[spoiler:uphold the promise he made him keep to stay away from her so she could be safe]]. He and Gwen spend most of the sequel figuring out if they should resume their relationship or not. [[spoiler:When they decide to resume it, it's sadly cut short when she gets killed after a fight with the Green Goblin.]]
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: His first ventures as Spider-Man focus ''solely'' on avenging Uncle Ben's death. He goes around chasing any criminal who might be the killer and loses interest if they're not the right one, even botching police operations in the process. He eventually grows out of it.
* SadClown: Much like his comic book counterpart.
* SecretIdentity: As usual.
* ScienceHero: This side of Spider-Man definitely gets much more emphasis in this movie. Midtown High is even renamed Midtown Science High to emphasize this (and it makes sense since a lot of public high schools in America are now getting renames like this, especially if they're a charter school or a public magnet school).
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: "Maybe he ''[Spider-Man]'' is trying to do something the police can't!"
* ShonenHair: He often has some serious bed-head going on.
* SingleTargetSexuality: He shows a little interest in Sally Avril when he thinks she's flirting with him at the start of the first film, but he never shows a serious interest in anyone but Gwen. [[spoiler:By ''No Way Home'' this has resulted in him not moving on since her death.]]
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Gender-flipped, he's head over heels for [[NiceGirl Gwen]] this time around.
* SinisterShades: He evokes the trope in his first disguise before creating the Spider-Man suit.
* TheSmartGuy: He's able to figure out how to construct a costume and create functional webbing based on research and a bit of elbow grease. While still intelligent, he's less of this trope in the second movie due to Gwen taking on the role.
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: He wears his dad's eyeglasses on occasion.
* SmugSuper: The first film explores what Peter might be like if he started his superhero career without quite grasping the "WithGreatPowerComesGreatResponsibility" concept. He's vicious, arrogant, and pretty angry at the world for not thinking of him as a hero without actually proving it (just beating up thugs and possibly hindering the police instead of helping them). He comes off as someone who thinks by having superpowers, TheCall is theirs to answer as they see fit and not take into consideration how they can use their powers to better the world. Justified to a degree, since he was on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge against the one who shot Uncle Ben, but he's still a fairly self-centered hero until he finally has a chance to prove it against The Lizard.
* SneakySpider: As Spider-Man, Peter uses his quips, web-shooters, and overall ingenuity to take on villains stronger than himself. At one point during his fight with the Lizard at Midtown, he hits him with two ceiling lights to momentarily distract him and sneak up on him from behind.
* SociallyAwkwardHero: Just look at his early interactions with Gwen.
* SpandexLatexOrLeather: Spandex. He picks it from athletic suits. Which is FridgeBrilliance considering the amount of acrobatics he does and his ability to dodge bullets (most of the time, at least).
-->'''Peter:''' ''[searching for athletic apparel]'' Spandex. Spandex. ''Everything'' is spandex.
* SpecsOfAwesome: Unlike other versions of the character, his Spider-powers don't do anything to cure his eyesight disorders. Even after he becomes Spider-Man, Peter still keeps using glasses and contacts. Also, Spider-Man's eyes are mirrored lenses.
* SpeechImpediment: He's prone to stuttering when nervous. And that happens a lot.
* SpiderSense: It's a bit hard to tell, but it is there. It even made him react automatically when he couldn't control it yet. He called out a bit more in one scene when he senses Electro long before Electro has even done anything malicious or dangerous.
* StalkerWithACrush: [[spoiler:After he and Gwen break up, he starts to watch her from afar to make sure she's ok.]]
* StealthHiBye: When confronting the car thief, he escapes out of the car in the time it takes the thief to slip out the window and attack him from behind.
* SuperPowerLottery: After getting bitten by the spider, he received SuperStrength, SuperSpeed, SuperToughness, SuperReflexes, the ability to WallCrawl, and of course, the SpiderSense.
* SuperReflexes:
** While he still needs to wear glasses or contacts, his reflexes are heightened to the point where he could NonchalantDodge a police officer shooting at him from point-blank range.
** In ''2'', he's able to react to Electro's blasts and dodge accordingly.
* SuperSpeed: Fast enough to easily and casually dodge gunfire in ''1'' and Electro's blasts in ''2''.
* SuperStrength: His physical strength greatly improves when he gains his powers. It's a bit too early to tell how strong he is, but he is at least able to hold onto the weight of a large van.
* SuperToughness: He definitely has it or he would have died halfway through the movies. He has been slammed into brick walls, blasted through drywall, hit by an improvised explosive (albeit made from a school chemistry set), fallen from hundreds of feet, and gotten hit by a taser and shrugged it off a few minutes later. He also has managed to handle electric shocks and still keeps fighting. However, he is not ImmuneToBullets nor can he handle being cut by sharp objects (though he survives crashing through windows unscathed).
* TallDarkAndHandsome: The tallest live-action ''film''[[note]]Nicholas Hammond of the [[Series/SpiderMan1977 70s TV series]] is the tallest at 6'" feet[[/note]] incarnation of Peter Parker at 5'10 1/2".
* TallDarkAndSnarky: Mostly as Spider-Man.
* TeenGenius: Creates his own automatic lock, a police scanner, and his own web-shooters. He is also considered the (second) smartest person in his school (after Gwen).
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: His expression right before and when he calls Flash by his real name in order to make him stop bullying a kid and turn him against Peter instead. [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown It works. Ouch.]]
* TiedTogetherShoelaceTrip: Does this to an Oscorp security guard in the sequel to stall him and give Gwen time to escape Oscorp's premises.
* TooDumbToLive: Unlike his previous iteration and his comic counterpart in which a spider dropped on his hand and but him during a field trip, this Peter got his powers by impulsively entering a room filled with spiders and fiddled around with their webs. This later caused many of the spiders to latch onto him and one of them to bite him. [[spoiler:If his DNA wasn't compatible with the spiders]], the bite could've killed, poisoned, or at the very least got him very sick but instead it gave him superpowers.
* TookALevelInDumbass: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] but he ''does'' seem a little more clueless in the second film where Gwen not only seems more mature than him (as she had in the first film too) but also outright smarter (having to remind him of some pretty basic science at the climax after he'd spent much of the film getting nowhere).
* TrashTalk: An absolute master at this. It often works to his benefit as his opponents become increasingly irritable with his incessant chattering, throwing them off-balance.
* TraumaCongaLine: In the first film his parents abandon him when he's six years old, because of his refusal to catch a thief his uncle Ben is murdered, he's hunted by the police for being a vigilante, and he accidentally turns Curtis Connors into the Lizard [[spoiler:which results in the death of George Stacy]]. In the second film, which is only a year later, he breaks up with Gwen [[spoiler:out of guilt]], he discovers his parents left him to try and prevent his father's research being used for evil purposes, and reluctantly refuses to help his dying childhood friend Harry, [[spoiler:which results in him becoming the Green Goblin and killing Gwen just after they got back together.]]
* TruerToTheText: Unlike the previous cinematic version, this version of Spider-Man doesn't immediately grasp the idea of responsibility and being a hero after Ben's death. This is closer to how the character acted in the early comics, as it took a few issues before he was fighting crime out of a desire to do good instead of simply trying to make money at the Daily Bugle. Also unlike the more introverted version in the previous film series this version is far more of a MotorMouth like in the comics.
* UnscrupulousHero: He's this in the first film as he just cares about finding Ben's killer, and he can be brutal in his attacks. However after CharacterDevelopment kicks in he becomes the hero he is better known to be. [[spoiler:''No Way Home'' reveals that after Gwen's death he fell back into this, if not worse based on his comments, as he was unable to deal with all he has lost.]]
* UpbringingMakesTheHero: It's clear that this is why he's a good person. Aunt May and Uncle Ben raised him right, and probably so did his biological parents before they disappeared and later, died.
* VaporWear: Creator/AndrewGarfield has admitted that, during Spidey scenes, the suit is all he wears.
* VigilanteMan: Spider-Man is initially seen as this by the police, which is why they and Captain Stacy are hunting him as Stacy is quick to point out he's just a guy with a vendetta. Thankfully CharacterDevelopment kicks in and by the second film Spider-Man is more popular due to being a genuine hero.
* VisualPun: When Peter is working with Dr. Connors using the holographic interface, several lines that look like webbing connect to his fingers.
* WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld: Though by the time of the sequel, he's at college, meaning his schedule is a little more lenient.
* WallCrawl: Naturally, it's his primary ability as Spider-Man.
* WeakButSkilled: This adaptation of Peter frequently faces off against supervillains much more powerful than him so he has to use his fighting skills or strategic mind to keep up.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: He and Harry were the best of friends since they were children but the events of the second film tore their friendship to pieces.
* WhereDoesHeGetAllThoseWonderfulToys: He wove his suit himself taking inspiration on athletic suits; the web fluid is actually developed by Oscorp as a "bio-cable", but the web-shooters are entirely his own creation.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatPerks: After getting the hang of his powers, he initially used it for personal satisfaction like studying on the edge of a roof, standing up to his high school bully, and using it to perform unique skateboard tricks and acrobatics. [[DeathByOriginStory Then his uncle gets murdered by a criminal he refused to stop and allowed to get away.]]
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatResponsibility: The movie's version of the mandate initially leans more toward "[[GoodSamaritan Do what you can to help other people]]" than "[[PersonalGainHurts Do what you do for others before yourself]]," though both aspects are explored. He starts out as Spider-Man thinking of himself first by being motivated by {{Revenge}} but learns to work for the greater good.
* WreckedWeapon: Twice, to show just how powerful his villains are.
** In the first film, The Lizard crushes both of his web shooters in the final battle. He repairs both of them by the end of the movie.
** In the second, he gets one of his web shooters fried by Electro in their first battle and he spends a good chunk of the film trying to make it more durable and resistant to electricity. Gwen later helps him magnetize his web-shooters, which come in handy against Electro in their final fight.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Despite not starting as one, he does do a frankensteiner on a car thief.
* YouFightLikeACow: He'll drop an insult at least ''once'' a fight.
* YouKilledMyFather: Peter has not been successful in finding and bringing Uncle Ben's killer to justice.
