* InfantImmortality: Several children are shown getting spider powers before - usually played for laughs, and at one point for a heartwarming story. When the people infected start turning into monsters and fighting the heroes, no children are to be seen. Several children are shown ''starting'' to turn, but are all cured in some way or another before they can do so completely.
* InferredHolocaust: When people start turning into spider monsters and going berserk, it's constantly brought up by the characters that these are still innocent people and that they should be treated with non-lethal force. Spider-Girl, in particular, encounters The Hand, The Hobgoblin and a whole slew of anti-Spider cultists killing scores of people-turned-monsters indiscriminately, and throughout the entire arc it's implied several times that a lot of innocents were killed while under the control of the queen.

* MagicPants: Lampshaded in "The Naked City". As the superheroes spend so much time in skintight outfits they no longer have any real body shame, they instead comment on things like Misty Knight still having her headband and T'Challa's beard vanishing but his hair staying the same length. Hawkeye cites Hulk's famous pants and actually tells them to HandWave it.
