History Fanfic / ConfusedAndDazed

* FriendlyEnemy: Duke appears to be one when the heroes clash with the Acolytes. The big guy genuinely finds their jokes and antics funny and spends his fight with Peter trading ''Film/ThePrincessBride'' references.

** ''Film/SuicideSquad'' is referenced when the Morlocks introduce themselves to Kurt.

** It's later explained that Jean's out of control telepathy resulted in [[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/confused-and-dazed-au-x-men-evo-spider-man-sorta.861694/post-93626739 Jean reflecting personality traits of people in her vicinity]].

''[[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/confused-and-dazed-au-x-men-evo-spider-man-sorta.861694/ Confused and Dazed]]'' is an AU crossover fanfic of ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'' and ''Franchise/SpiderMan''. In it, a young Jean Grey is adopted soon after her powers manifest by one Irene Adler. Irene and her two adopted daughters, Jean and Anne Marie, then move to New York, right next to a lovely couple that is taking care of their nephew.

--> '''Emma:''' That’s because I was thirteen, remember? [[TeensAreShort Everyone’s short at thirteen.]]

* FashionDesigner: Peter develops an interest in designing clothes thanks to making various pieces of clothing for Jean and Anne Marie.

* FreudianTrio: Jean is the impulsive Id, Peter is the intelligent Ego, and Anne Marie is the responsible Superego. This dynamic is later [[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/confused-and-dazed-au-x-men-evo-spider-man-sorta.861694/post-92902829 explained]].

* UnknownRelative: Mattie Franklin [[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/confused-and-dazed-au-x-men-evo-spider-man-sorta.861694/post-92902829 is initially unaware]] that her aunt is dating J. Jonah Jameson.

* FreudianTrio: Jean is the impulsive Id, Peter is the intelligent Ego, and Anne Marie is the responsible Superego.

** Anne Marie isn't traumatized over how her powers work. This is later explained to be because [[https://forum.questionablequesting.com/posts/6660410 she didn't seriously hurt anyone at the outset]], unlike in canon.

* EyebrowWaggle: Jean likes doing this whenever a DoubleEntendre or something that could be misconstrued as something lecherous is said .

* FreudianTrio: Jean is the Id, Peter is the Ego, and Anne Marie is the Superego.

* JerkJock: Carl King is the captain of the football team and uses his influence to get other jocks to be bullies too.

--> '''Emma:''' That’s because I was thirteen, remember? Everyone’s short at thirteen.

* TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening: Jean gained her powers when [[spoiler:her best friend died]].

* ObliviousToLove: Peter. He was [[HollywoodNerd never a bad looking guy]], merely poorly socialized until the Adlers moved in next door. Mattie reflects on growing up with him and how he never noticed the attentions of ''anyone'' due to being so insular. She speculates (correctly) that it likely took Jean spelling out Anne Marie's attraction for him to realize it.

** This also happened with [[AlphaBitch Liz Allen]], who nursed a crush on [[ObliviousToLove Peter]] all through grade school and middle school, [[CannotSpitItOut though like Mattie, she never told him.]]

** Anne Marie isn't traumatized over how her powers work. This is later explained to be because [[https://forum.questionablequesting.com/posts/6660410 she didn't seriously hurt anyone at the outset], unlike in canon.

* AdaptationalNameChange:

** Anne Marie isn't traumatized over how her powers work. This is later explained to be because [[https://forum.questionablequesting.com/posts/6660410 she didn't kill anyone the first time she used it]], unlike in canon.

* RaceLift: The Kingpin is [[https://forum.questionablequesting.com/posts/6653893 African-America instead of Caucasian]].

* AdaptationalNameChange:
** In this fic, Sebastian Shaw's son is named Sean Shaw. This is because the author thinks [[https://forum.questionablequesting.com/threads/confused-and-dazed-au-x-men-evo-spider-man-sorta.14178/page-15#post-4240774 it makes more sense]] for a status obsessed, petty, rich asshole like Sebastian to name his son with a more normal sounding name than Shinobi.
** In this timeline, Rogue's real name is Anne Marie instead of Anna Marie, because ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'' [[https://forum.questionablequesting.com/threads/confused-and-dazed-au-x-men-evo-spider-man-sorta.14178/page-23#post-6370944 never actually revealed her name]], so the author decided to change it up a little.

* SpidersAreScary: Shelob is [[https://forum.questionablequesting.com/threads/confused-and-dazed-au-x-men-evo-spider-man-sorta.14178/page-11#post-4227915 a big spider that has very potent venom]]. As such, most people are at least wary of it the first time they see it.

* CasualDangerDialog: Peter has some friendly banter with Duke while the two are fighting each other.

** During Peter and Duke's CasualDangerDialog, the two quote ''Film/ThePrincessBride''.
