''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12983224/1/Shinji-Ikari-The-Amazing-Spider-Man Shinji Ikari: The Amazing Spider-Man]]'' by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/10916902/GainaxVel3o GainaxVel3o]] is a crossover between ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' and ''ComicBook/SpiderMan''. It follows Shinji Ikari's life from before and after arriving in Tokyo-3 after being bitten by a radioactive spider.

** [[spoiler:Maria Vincennes, from the Evangelion RPG ''The NERV White Paper'', is the Black Cat.]]

--> '''Vulture''': You worm... '''I'll BITE YOUR FACE OFF AND EAT YOUR CORPSE FOR THAT!'''

* FrameUp: Chameleon does this to both [[spoiler:Maya Ibuki (making her look like she stole Adam), and Spider-Man (making it look like he murdered Kaji, who ''is'' the Chameleon)]]. He's more successful with the second instance.

* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: [[spoiler:Kaworu joins Asuka in Tokyo-3 at the same time as her.]]

* AdaptationalOriginConnection: The origins of Spidey's powers [[MythologyGag once again]] is shared with several of his foes. Here, they are the result of HERZ & SEELE experimenting with Angel DNA.

* BadFuture: Leiliel shows Shinji a future where an older Spider-Man is shot down in the Kokoro graveyard by Misato and the police. According to the Angel, Misato found out that Shinji was Spider-Man at the worst possible time, and never forgave him for it. It's indicated she sold out to [[MegaCorp Alchemax]] for revenge.

* BlatantLies: [[spoiler:Shinji can tell that his father's lying about him being selected to pilot the Eva a week ago, when he was already called the Third Child months ago by Yamagishi.]]

** One of the patrons at Khara's Palace in Chapter 33 is not even subtle about being Creator/StanLee, making one of his obligatory Marvel Universe cameos, alongside Creator/SteveDitko, the ''other'' creator of Spider-Man; both are indicated to be waiting for Ditko's succeeding artist, John Romita, Sr. to join them for lunch.

** Kiyoshi Amachi, as the Vulture, takes on the criminal background of the second comics Vulture, Blackie Drago, and IAmAHumanitarian tendencies from the Red Vulture.

** [[spoiler:Maria Vincennes, from the Evangelion RPG The NERV White Paper, is the Black Cat.]]

* {{Deconstruction}}: Of [[spoiler: Yui Ikari. Most fanfics tend to portray her as a sort of BigGood, whereas this work argues that her hands aren't clean either. While initially seeming to be well-meaning and kind, Shinji swiftly discovers that his mother is a manipulative, abusive {{Narcissist}} obsessed with using Evangelion as a monument to her legacy. She's also envious of Shinji's powers and achievements, attempting a GrandTheftMe to replace him.]]

** [[spoiler: Asuka is unsympathetic to Naoko Akagi's motives at least, seeing her plan to start her own Third Impact as nothing more than a brat throwing a tantrum over some mean words.]]

* FrameUp: Chameleon does this to both [[spoiler:Maya Ibuki (making her look like she stole Adam), and Spider-Man (making it look like he murdered Kaji, who is the Chameleon)]]. He's more successful with the second.

* ILetGwenStacyDie: This naturally comes up given it has to do with Spider-Man. Sadly, nobody could've predicted Mayumi.

* KarmicDeath: Yamagishi, as the Holy Goblin, gets killed by his own statue of David and Goliath, thanks to Shinji and his daughter. [[BackFromTheDead But then again, this is a Goblin we're talking about.]]
** [[spoiler: Yui Ikari dies not in combat against an angel, or even against her own son, but by being fed to the Mass Production EVAs while completely incapable of moving or defending herself.]]

* MetaGuy: [[spoiler:As usual, Kaworu remembers the events of original series, and despite his misgivings towards Spider-Man, he's happy Shinji is more at peace with himself now.]]

** Shinji isn't the first Spider-hero [[spoiler:[[SpiderManJapan to pilot mecha]]]]
** Shinji has organic webbing as in ''Film/SpiderManTrilogy''. Asuka builds a set of artificial webshooters like the comic version's, which Shinji uses at one point.
** The scene where Spider-Man battles Doctor Octopus on a train is taken straight from ''Film/SpiderMan2''
** Kenichiro Yashida references how his sister Mariko left Japan with [[ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} a Canadian..]] Becomes {{Foreshadowing}} when Logan shows up in chapter 33.

** The alternate futures that Leiliel shows Shinji are based on the future seen in ''Amazing Spider Man #500'', and the ''ComicBook/MarvelComics2'' setting with Shinji's daughter as Spider-Girl.
** Chapter 33 is titled ''Sins Past.''

** [[spoiler: Asuka saves a little girl from a car hanging from a bridge in a scene taken from ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan'']]

** [[spoiler: Rei dons Ben Reily's classic ComicBook/ScarletSpider outfit for the fight with Armisael in the mindscape.]]

* SecretKeeper: [[spoiler:Touji and Kensuke]] find out Shinji's secret identity [[spoiler:as both an Evangelion pilot and Spider-Man.]]

* ShoutOut: [[spoiler:In Chapter 17, after finding out his identity, Kensuke starts asking a ton of questions and how he can help.]] Straight out of Homecoming.

* SparedByTheAdaptation: Naoko Akagi doesn't commit suicide. She becomes Doctor Octopus.

* TakeThat: [[spoiler:Kaworu makes a jab at End of Evangelion, where Shinji masturbates over a comatose Asuka.]]

* YourAnswerToEverything: By the time of the ''End of Evangelion'' battle, Shinji makes very clear that he is sick and tired of the Vulture yelling almost nothing but threats of eating him (and anybody else who pisses him off).

** Tachiageru Yamagishi talks about Mayumi like she's a thing than a person. He even allowed his daughter to die. Makes sense given he's the [[AdaptationalNameChange Holy Goblin]].

** [[spoiler:Naoko Akagi gives her daughter a scathing ReasonYouSuckSpeech, started off with her admitting she never even wanted to marry or have kids. This results in her crying when alone.]]

* AdaptationalOriginConnection: The origins of Spidey's powers [[MythologyGag once again]] is shared with several of his foes here they are the result of HERZ & SEELE experimenting with Angel DNA.

* AllForNothing: [[spoiler:Chapter 31 starts with Gendo in a cell, and realizes that Yui has played him for a fool, and all he had left was Shinji, whom he absolutely destroyed his relationship with.]]

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Shinji gives one to his father when they visit the grave together. Gendo admits that there is no body to bury, but it's important to keep memories close. This angers Shinji because he refuses to let him know what his mother looks like.

* AxCrazy: Several of Spider-Man's enemies: Like Vulture, Doctor Octopus, and Holy Goblin.
* AwesomeButImpractical: The SHOCKER gauntlets are indeed impressive, but there are several flaws, such as the price to make them.
* BadFuture: Leliel shows Shinji a future where an older Spider-Man is shot down in the Kokoro graveyard by Misato and the police. According to the Angel, Misato found out that Shinji was Spider-Man at the worst possible time and never forgave him for it. It's indicated she sold out to [[MegaCorp Alchemex]] for revenge.

** Yashida doesn't like people snooping around in his personal things. He killed a nosy guard who saw a picture of him and his brother when they were kids.
** Naoko Akagi doesn't like to be called an Old Hag.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: {{Downplayed}} with Tsuyoshi Kotei, the [[TheBully Flash Thompson]] {{Expy}}. To most people he's a widely popular student, to Shinji he's a rival and bully.
* BlatantLies: [[spoiler:Shinji can tell that his father's lying about him being selected to pilot the Eva a week ago when he was already called the Third Child months ago by Yamagishi.]]
* BoxedCrook: [[spoiler:Naoko is forced back into NERV's service after her rampage as Doc Ock. Not that she seems to care...]]

** Shinji calls out his teacher for how distant he is. The man listens to him and truly bonds with him. Needless to say the man becomes an Uncle Ben {{Expy}} and dies.

--> '''Shinji''': The hell is that supposed to mean?! Of course I deserve to know! Do you really think you're the only one who loved her?! I grew up not remembering a thing about my own mother while you disappeared into your work! Why are you like this? What did I do to deserve being treated like trash?!

** J. Jonah Jameson makes a few unnamed appearance calling Spider-Man a menace.
** One of the patrons at Khara's Palace in Chapter 33 is not even subtle about being Creator/StanLee, making one of his obligatory Marvel Universe cameos, alongside Creator/SteveDitko, the ''other'' creator of Spider-Man, while waiting for John Romita.
%%* ComesGreatResponsibility: Shinji as Spider-Man naturally.

** Kiyoshi Amachi as the Vulture takes on a criminal background from Black Drago, and IAmAHumanitarian tendencies from the Red Vulture.

** Professor Inumaru takes inspiration from both Curt Connors/The Lizard and Miles Warren/The Jackel.
** Tsuyoshi Kotei is an {{Expy}} of Flash Thompson [[spoiler:with the Scorpion]].
** [[spoiler:Maria Vincennes is Black Cat.]]
** [[spoiler: Given the similar abilities, Bardiel is ComicBook/{{Venom}}...With Touji as the first host.]] [[spoiler: And Asuka becomes She-Venom.]] [[spoiler: Then Shinji himself gets possessed turning going full classic Venom.]]
** [[spoiler: Asuka is a major case of this. She has the codename of ComicBook/ScarletSpider, the power set of ComicBook/MilesMorales, the costume of the Manga/MarvelMangaverse Spider-Woman, and a character arc similar to the [[Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan Webb-Verse Spider-Man]] while also having been She-Venom. ]]
** Mana Kirishima is composited with [[spoiler:Mary Jane Watson]].

* CreativeSterility: [[spoiler:Kaworu feels Shinji is doing this as Spider-Man, pointing out his motives are not his own, and beliefs based on what the dead thought. Shinji later admits he has a point but later admits he wants to still do it to help people. Kaworu accepts his answer.]]

* DesignerBaby: Tachiageru Yamagishi reveals to Shinji that he wanted a child, but found no woman he could really connect with, so he had Mayumi designed with women "He never bothered knowing the name of." Hearing this said so casually disturbs both Shinji and Mayumi. Turns out the mother is an Angel.
* DiegeticSoundtrackUsage: During Chapter 13' [[TheStinger stinger]] Shinji is listening to his SDAT to pass time and decides to listen to Track 1. It happens to be Cruel Angel's Thesis, Evangelion's OP Considering he is listening to it while on the train to Tokyo-3, this counts as {{Foreshadowing}}.
* DisappointedByTheMotive: Shinji is livid with the Rhino who did the terrible things because he wanted to be a "big shot." [[spoiler: He's just as disgusted when he discovers the same is also Yui's motive.]]

* DoomedHometown: Shinji's home city of Kokoro thanks to the Holy Goblin. Many of the refugees end up in Tokyo-3 [[spoiler:[[FromBadToWorse right on time for the Angels to start attacking]]]]
* DoubleStandard: [[spoiler:Bardiel infected Asuka]] starts spouting this line of thinking, yet is hypocritical about it when it's pointed out, especially by Spider-Man.

---> '''Yamagishi''': Ruined? I gave them '''purpose'''! [[spoiler:You were but a weak willed child before the spider made you who you are! My daughter wouldn't even exist without me!]] Amid the sands of time and fate all people's lives are without meaning! SEELE understands that mankind is at an evolutionary dead end. It is the reason behind their scenario! But the old men made a crucial mistake...They believe Instrumentality will lead to the ultimate salvation of mankind...But they were '''WRONG'''! Mankind disrupted the cycle of life by stabbing Adam with the Lance of Longinus. The end of humanity is coming, and the Angels will see to it's destruction. SEELE dare plan to encase themselves in immortal bodies so they could control the destiny of the world through instrumentality...But they will fall all the same!

** Marie Vincennes may not like Asuka, [[spoiler:but even she admits Asuka didn't deserve to be [[MindRape mind raped]].]]
* EvilerThanThou: The ''End Of Evangelion'' sequence gets totally derailed from canon [[spoiler:by Naoko, leading the Sinister Six and revealing herself to be the Master Planner, [[HijackedByGanon killing all of SEELE, Gendo and even Yui]] and going on an apocalyptic killing spree for kicks.]]

** [[spoiler:Gendo Ikari starts dripping into this throughout the story, culminating in Chapter 26, where he bars Shinji from seeing an injured Rei for being "Unstable" after tackling him the previous chapter.]]
** Naoko Akagi won't just murder you, she will make sure the last words you hear on Earth are her insulting you (your smarts, your looks, whatever little thing irked her enough to decide you had to die) in a fashion similar to [[VideoGame/{{Portal}} GLADoS]].

* {{Foil}}: Yamagishi is Gendo Ikari, but '''WAY''' worse. For example, while Gendo may be distant, it's clear that he cares for Shinji (In his own, messed up way). Yamagishi didn't give a damn about his daughter.
* ForWantOfANail: [[spoiler:Naoko releases a computer virus that makes sure that Jet Alone will not be working until well after the Angels are the dead.]]
* FrameUp: Chameleon does this to both [[spoiler:Maya Ibuki (making her look like she stole Adam), and Spider-Man (making it look like he murdered Kaji, Who is the Chameleon)]]. He's more successful with the second.
* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: The CentralTheme of the third arc seems to be that while the characters' past can justify their present actions somewhat, they need to act more mature. An example is Maria confronting [[spoiler:Bardiel possessed]] Asuka, or Maya deciding to forgive Ritsuko for her actions.
* FusionFic: In this story Shinji becomes Spider-Man, a few OC's become his rogues, and Naoko Akagi becomes Doctor Octopus.
* GenderFlip: Quite a few.

* HijackedByGanon: [[spoiler: The final arc sees Naoko Akagi kill the members of SEELE and lead the Sinister Six in the siege of NERV.]]
* {{Hypocrite}}: Shinji feels this way about his father. Gendo Ikari is dedicated to remembering the late Yui, but refused to even let his son even see a picture of her.
* IAmAHumanitarian: The Vulture's been eating people since he was ''7 years old.''

* ItsAllAboutMe: When Shinji found out Mayumi was meant to spy on him for her father, he gave her the cold shoulder. Kotei confronts him and points out to him that doing this is really selfish.

** Kotei may be a punk to Shinji, but he does get a few PetTheDog moments notably when he helps Mayumi.

* KarmicDeath: Yamagishi, as the Holy Goblin, gets killed by his own statue of David and Goliath, by Shinji and his daughter. [[BackFromTheDead But then again, this is a Goblin we're talking about.]]
** [[spoiler: Yui Ikari dies not in combat against an angel, or even against her own son, but by being fed to the Mass Production Evas while completely incapable of moving or defending herself.]]
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: [[spoiler: Doctor Octopus may be willing to throw down with teenagers enhanced with spider powers, but even she knows better than to pick a fight with a pissed-off Kyoko in her Evangelion.]]

* MetaGuy: [[spoiler:As usual, Kaworu remembers the original series, and despite his misgivings of Spider-Man, he's happy Shinji is better at peace now.]]

** Shinji isn't the first Spider [[spoiler:[[SpiderManJapan to pilot mecha]]]]
** Shinji has organic webbing as in ''Film/SpiderManTrilogy''. Asuka builds a set of artificial webshooters like the comic versions that Shinji uses at one point.

** Yamashiro's deceased wife was named Mei
** The alternate futures Leliel shows Shinji are based on the future seen in ''Amazing Spider Man #500'' and the ''ComicBook/MarvelComics2'' setting with Shinji's daughter as Spider-Girl.

** Marie mocks Bardiel's voice as being like a [[Creator/TomHardy British guy's bad imitation of an American.]]
** [[spoiler: Shinji's Venomized self is based directly on the classic hulking Venom design.]]

** [[spoiler: Rei dons Ben Reily's classic ComicBook/ScarletSpider outfit for the fight with Amshiel in th mindscape.]]

* NervesOfSteel: [[spoiler:After a moment of surprise, Shinji activates Unit 01's SelfDestructMechanism and unblinkingly threatens Gendo with a TakingYouWithMe against Bardiel unless he deactivates the Dummy Plug.]]

* NotAfraidOfYouAnymore: [[spoiler:After his fight with Venom/Bardiel, Shinji is disciplined by his father, who notes that it's the first time he's actually acknowledged him as his son, and figures out that he's just as insecure as he is since he's made no effort to be with Shinji in the past. So he leaves and tells his father he's not scared of him anymore.]]

* NotSoSimilar: The Rhino tries to say that Spider-Man put on a costume to be a big shot like him. But it's obvious the reasoning is different, and he socks him for it.
* OhCrap!: Shinji is not happy to run into [[spoiler:Naoko Akagi]] again inside [[spoiler:NERV HQ]]
** [[spoiler: When Kotei crushes Rei under a sign, he swiftly finds out that Shinji had been holding back in their fight, eventually resorting to begging him to stop as he was beaten to near death.]]

* ParentsAsPeople: Yamashiro did what he thought was best for Shinji. But since he has trouble expressing emotion, Shinji grew up thinking he never cared. The two had just gotten to a point where they were finally bonding when the burglar killed him.
* PragmaticVillainy: [[spoiler:Naoko decides to work with Shinji against SEELE, even telling him everything she knows about their [[AssimilationPlot plans]], and says that they're a much more critical threat than he is. Doesn't stop her from admitting she wants to snap his neck.]]

* RageBreakingPoint: Naoko Akagi is publicly humiliated by a crowd who call her "Old Hag" or insult her decision to sleep with her boss. This leads to the creation of Doctor Octopus.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: Mariko Yashida is Akihiko/Daken's mother here.
* ReplacementGoldfish: [[spoiler:Doctor Octopus accuses Shinji of this with Rei following Mayumi's death.]] He denies it, he just wants to know her.
* ReasonYouSuckSpeech: [[spoiler:Naoko gives her daughter a scathing one, admitting she only got married and had a daughter out of peer pressure, and is deeply disappointed that all said daughter did was simply copy her mother all the way down to what men she slept with. This shakes Ritsuko to the point of crying when she's alone.]]
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: In this universe, the Yashida family from ''{{ComicBook/Wolverine}}'' are more closely associated with battling a now Japanese Spider-Man. However Logan does show up to settle his old score with them.

* SecondLove: [[spoiler:Mana Kirishima]] becomes this for Shinji, going on a date in the Date Night chapter.
* SecretKeeper: [[spoiler:Touji and Kensuke]] find out Shinji's secret identity [[spoiler:as a Pilot and as Spider-Man.]]
* SecretSecretKeeper: [[spoiler:Thanks to Yamagishi, Shinji is made aware of HERZ and SEELE and their actions involving [[{{Precursors}} Adam and Lilth.]] Once he sees the Third Angel and Eva-01, he realizes that they must be a result of said actions.]]

* TheStationsOfTheCanon: Despite the changes to the Eva timeline here Shinji still answers his father's summons to Tokyo-3...though in this case this is also due to [[DoomedHometown Kokoro's destruction]].
* TheStinger: Chapter 13 has one after the Author's Notes where Shinji is on a crowded train heading to Tokyo-3.

* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler:Shinji activates the SelfDestructMechanism of Unit 01 to {{Blackmail}} Gendo with this if he didn't deactivate the Dummy Plug during the Bardiel fight.]]
* ThereAreNoTherapists: Averted. After [[spoiler:Asuka is shot]], Misato has her taken off the active roster and prepared to see a therapist given her [[spoiler:Possession by Bardiel]] is what resulted in the accident.
* TookALevelInJerkass: [[spoiler:After being possessed by Bardiel]], Asuka's snippy personality gets to an insanely grating level, that even strangers can't put up with her anymore. [[spoiler:This actually bites her in the ass because her friends are noticing and connecting the dots.]]

* VillainWithGoodPublicity: The Yashida Company helped build Kokoro, so they are not looked at as the source of the cities supervillains.

* WhamLine: When Professor Inumaru is kidnapped, he's brought face to face with the BigBad of the Kokoro Arc. And reveals his name in bold.

* WorthyOpponent: Doctor Octopus/Naoko Akagi feels this way about Shinji after he saves the train.

--> '''Shinji''': [[spoiler:Ayanami,]] I don't really know my father. I haven't seen him in years, even the few times we met there was hardly a conversation. As far as I know he left me for his job and never attempted to reach out in the years since. Except for one letter. One. What did it say? [[spoiler:Come.]] Not an apology, no explanation, not even a freaking post card. Like I was some kind of gopher at his beck and call. As a commander, he seems to do an okay job at not getting us all killed. As a person... what can I say about a person I hardly know? If he wanted trust, he should have said something sooner. If he wanted faith, he should have done something to earn it. Now it's too late. '''Far''' too late.

* PragmaticVillainy: [[spoiler:Naoko decides to work with Shinji against SEELE, even telling him everything she knows about their [[AssimilationPlot plans]], and says that they're a much more important threat than he is. Doesn't stop her from admitting she wants to snap his neck.]]
