** On the PC port of ''Remastered'', if you go into the controller layout screen using an [[Platform/XboxOne Xbox]][[Platform/XboxSeriesXAndS Wireless Controller]], the chibi cartoon Spidey will swing in to mock you for using that over the [=DualShock=] 4 or [=DualSense=].

* {{Reconstruction}}: Much like the MCU movie, this game reconstructs Spider-Man's relationship with the public. Yes, he has his haters and J. Jonah Jameson is still trying his best to defame him but for every person who hates Spider-Man there's a person who sees him as a hero and is inspired by him.

*** This may not actually apply in this case, as it's mentioned that it's the opposite way round - Osborn was already planning the campaign rally at City Hall, and combines Jeff Davis' medal ceremony with it as an extra campaign stunt. So it's more like using a privately-funded rally to pull double duty as an official ceremony, as opposed to using a taxpayer-funded ceremony as a campaign event.

** During the [[spoiler: hostage situation at]] Grand Central Station, [[spoiler: the Demons easily overpower the [[CopsAreUseless garden-variety cops with handguns]].]] In reality, the station [[spoiler: is guarded by straight-up US Army soldiers from Joint Task Force Empire Shield with fully automatic weapons]], thanks to the sheer number of people who pass through it on a daily basis.

Crosswicking new trope.

* CranialPlateAbility: The climax of ''Turf Wars'', the second half of ''The City That Never Sleeps'', sees Spidey's FriendOnTheForce, Captain Yuri Watanabe, growing increasingly [[RevengeBeforeReason vengeful]] in her war against [[SuperMobBoss Hammerhead]], which rounds off with her [[CowboyCop breaking the law]] to show up and execute Hammerhead with a [[BoomHeadshot headshot]]. Luckily for Hammerhead (but unluckily for anyone else), he has, [[MeaningfulName as his name suggests]], a plate of carbon steel implanted in his skull that shields him from the bullet. That said, [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome the impact of Yuri shooting him close up DOES nearly kill him via heart attack]], and he only gets revived due to one of his mooks hiding in the police van with a defibrillator. In the next stage of the DLC, Hammerhead decides to make himself more invulnerable by converting himself into a {{Cyborg}}, but the plate in his head is made of weaker metal than the rest of his body, so Spidey is able to heat and soften it with Silver Sable's laser in order to actually hurt Hammerhead with his punches, thereby turning the plate into an AchillesHeel and subverting this trope.

* AnAesop:
** Know when to take responsibility and know what to take responsibility ''for''. [[spoiler:For the last third of the game, Peter blames himself for Otto's descent into villainy because he was part of the project that created Otto's arms and he believes that if he wasn't late to work then he could have prevented Otto's insanity. During the final battle, Otto reveals that he knows Peter is Spider-Man, allowing Peter to deduce that Otto was always in control of his own actions and that he had planned everything from the beginning. This enforces the lesson that some people can't be reasoned with and can't be saved from themselves no matter how much you try to help them, the only thing you can do is leave them before they ruin your life too.]] The theme is foreshadowed when an apparent copycat of Spider-Man starts solving crime and rescuing people, [[spoiler:and the copycat taking on Peter's responsibilites almost gets killed for it.]]
** Hatred inevitably brings out the absolute worst in people, regardless on how justified their hatred may be or how good their intentions are. Mr. Negative has good reasons to hate Norman Osborn, but his desperate desire to see him destroyed causes them to try and sacrifice an entire city to accomplish this. In the end, [[spoiler:him and Otto Octavius become worse men than Osborn and throw away any sort of helpful future they could have had.]]

* DeducingTheSecretIdentity: Peter's tendency to act the same both in and out of the suit means that while an average Joe likely couldn't make the connection, those who know Peter can easily figure it out. Otto did have the benefit of seeing the broken suit, but his intelligence combined with the hints Peter gives him subconsciously without even noticing (Both Peter and Spidey joke in tense situations, for example) allow him to realize their connection. And since Aunt May raised Peter, she would have little difficulty noticing their similarities. Peter's small social circle is one of the main reasons why his identity isn't more widely known.
