* NoNameGiven: Spider's editor at Driven Books, to whom he owes two books as of the beginning of the story. Spider only refers to the editor as "the Whorehopper," and he's the only character who interacts with the editor in the comic. There's a common fan theory that "the Whorehopper" might not actually ''exist'' outside of Spider's drug-fueled fantasies.

Hurting Hero is a disambiguation


* HurtingHero: The person Spider has become, the things he does, they are all because he cares about the people of the City, cares ''so much'' that seeing them being stamped on by their elected rulers and then just going on with life makes him rage and weep.

* PosthumousCharacter: Senator Longstreet, the last presidential candidate from the opposition party who ran against The Beast. His name is brought up several times during the election arc and he inspired Vita Severn, Kirsten was his former campaign manager, and was bankrolled by Oscar Rossini. Spider even broke one of his rules and gave him a (relatively) positive write-up, a move he describes as being willing to do practically ''anything'' to get The Beast out of office. When The Beast won re-election anyway, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere it ultimately led to Spider abandoning the city]] and setting the comic in motion.
