History Fanfic / UltimateSpiderWoman

* TrackingChip: During one of their battles, Jack O'Lantern implanted a microscopic tracking chip in Spider-Woman's back. It gives him a complete readout on all of her movements, including in her civilian life as Mary Jane Watson. He quite literally knows where she's been every minute of every hour of every day, ''for months at a time.''

* AdaptationSpeciesChange: Of sorts-the Chameleon is here recast as a blue-skinned mutant, the brother of long-time X-Men foe Mystique.

* AngryBlackMan: Subverted by Randy Robertson. He's not so much angry as passionate and committed to increasing awareness of the many social and artistic contributions that black people have made in the U.S. over the years. All he wants from white people is to make them more aware of the influence blacks have had on the country's development.

* SortingAlgorithmOfEvil: Completely averted. Spider-Woman does not acquire any new powersets or power boosts, and while she's become a more experienced crimefighter her supervillain enemies have kept pace with her in terms of ''their'' fighting skills.

* SimpleStaff: Ms. Fortune wields a quarterstaff that shoots energy blasts.

* RoguesGalleryTransplant: Since Mary Jane didn't have any actual rogues gallery in the comics, the author had to create one for her. Her enemies are stolen from heroes ranging from ComicBook/IronMan to Franchise/SpiderMan to the ComicBook/IncredibleHulk to the ComicBook/XMen. In-universe, Gregor Shapanka is the first Blizzard, an enemy of Iron Man. However, now that Spider-Woman's thwarted his attempts to get revenge on Donald Gill, the second Blizzard, Shapanka quickly develops a grudge against her too.

** Taken UpToEleven by Jack O' Lantern, of course.

* SexyDiscretionShot: Mary Jane and Randy sing Creator/BarryWhite lyrics to one another during an intimate moment at his new apartment. They look into each other's eyes and know what's about to happen. The scene then cuts immediately to Spider-Woman swinging to Four Freedoms Plaza while thinking that she didn't mean to spend the night at Randy's place.

* SongFic: In the final issue, Randy starts singing [[Creator/BarryWhite]]'s iconic song ''Can't Get Enough Of Your Love'', when he and Mary Jane are having an intimate moment. Mary Jane sings some of the lyrics back at him, and [[SexyDiscretionShot they both know what's going to come next.]]

* ComicBookTime: Although the series has been running for three years, it's only advanced ten months in that time.

* ThematicRoguesGallery: While Mary Jane's enemies do not have much of a common theme in terms of their abilities aside from being street-level villains, many of them have embraced different parts of their identity in different ways. [[spoiler:The Brothers Grimm define themselves as twisted performers, Netshape is an obsessive LoonyFan who takes his geek culture so seriously he follows up on his threats to murder creators who've offended him, Supercharger is obsessed with his twisted crush on Spider-Woman, Firebrand believes his family wealth and influence give him the right to make poorer people suffer, Scorpia embraces the idea of being an AxCrazy supervillain, Black Mamba embraces the chance to be something more than an often-abused sex toy, Moonstone fully embraced the supervillain role she took up to study it, Joystick became obsessed with finding new thrills and highs, Polestar became embittered over his mistreatment by his family, Will O' the Wisp considered himself a blameless victim, and Jack O' Lantern saw himself as a sick, twisted monster and decided to act the part.]]

* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Even after her rebellious phase ends, Mary Jane finds herself still becoming Spider-Woman on instinct whenever people are in trouble. This is even {{lampshaded}} by some of her enemies, who ask her why she fights crime as a heroine. Even Mary Jane herself can't quite figure out the reason why she continues to fight crime for no apparent or rational reason. What she ''does'' know is that she simply can't help herself whenever she sees someone who needs help.
** In issue #96, Randy asks Mary Jane if she's ever considered just hanging up her webs and quit being a superhero altogether. She says that she can't bring herself to do it, partly because she thinks of everyone who suffers at the hands of the city's supervillains the way she did as a child, and partly because there are so few heroes in New York and so many villains that it's all the heroes can do to keep the villains in check.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Not as many as Ultimate Sleepwalker (''yet!''), but Ultimate Spider-Woman is already creeping into this trope.

** Kitty Pryde is getting this trope in spades after being publicly outed as a mutant.
** More generally, Mary Jane has gone through this ''multiple'' times.

* RoguesGallery: For someone who's only been a costumed hero for about a year and a half, Mary Jane's built up a pretty big one. So far Spider-Woman has tangled with the likes of Blizzard, Will O' the Wisp, the Brothers Grimm, Firebrand, Polestar, Tarot, the Constrictor, Jack O' Lantern, Moonstone, Supercharger, Joystick, Boomerang, Mayhem, 8-Ball, Netshape, Black Mamba, the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, Swarm, Scorpia, Tendril, the Squid and Ms. Fortune. The speed with which Spider-Woman gained her rogues gallery is {{Lampshaded}}, as is the fact that there seemed to be enough costumed criminals in New York to form a Rogues Gallery for every hero that operates there.

* YouExclamation: This is Phillip Watson's reaction when he sees Jack O'Lantern's true face and realizes he's [[spoiler:Steven Mark Levins, Kitty Pryde and Ben Reilly's uncle.]]

* JusticeByOtherLegalMeans: Mary Jane has no recourse when Roderick Kingsley sexually harasses her and uses his influence to try to ruin her modelling career. The same can't be said for [[spoiler:his wife Rebecca, who divorces Kingsley when she catches him in bed with Felicia Hardy, exposes his dirty dealings to the authorities in exchange for an immunity deal and plans to sue Roderick for his remaining shares of Kingsley Cosmetics for endangering the company.]]

An offshoot of ''FanFic/UltimateSleepwalker'', ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4655553/1/Ultimate_SpiderWoman_Change_With_the_Light Ultimate Spider-Woman: Change With the Light]]'' stars Mary Jane Watson as the title heroine, with no connection to [[ComicBook/UltimateMarvel Jessica Drew as a female clone of Peter Parker]].

* StraightGay: Anna Watson's lesbianism is casually mentioned by Mary Jane in a one-off conversation with Kitty, explaining that Anna doesn't make a big deal about it because she doesn't want her homosexuality to be the only thing people notice about her. As a mutant who consciously tries to avoid getting caught up in the drama surrounding mutant politics, Kitty can sympathize. It's later subverted when Anna finds that she isn't really attracted to ''women'' either. Mary Jane correctly realizes that Anna is in fact [[{{Asexuality}} asexual.]]
