* DoNotCallMePaul: The Peter Parker of Earth-4477 became a cynical loner after the deaths of his Aunt May and Mary Jane Watson. As part of his efforts to distance himself from his past, he refuses to let anyone call him "Peter" or "Petey", going instead by his surname, Parker. According to him, the only one allowed to call him "Peter" is his aunt.



* JustAKid: Issues #19 through #24 focus on Spider-Boy, who is struggling to get any respect from civilians or supervillains because of his {{Unperson}} status after a stint of nonexistence at Shathra's hands. The civilians at F.E.A.S.T. bemoan the fact that Spider-Boy came to help instead of Spider-Man, with some people failing to even get Spider-Boy's name right, calling him Spider-Kid.

Added DiffLines:

* RecklessGunUsage: A Maggia goon tries to scare F.E.A.S.T. into listening to him by firing his gun into the air. Everyone else present asks what the hell is wrong with him for waving a gun around so carelessly. Spider-Boy punishes him with a bite full of paralyzing venom.


Added DiffLines:

* SwarmOfRats: Vermin besieges F.E.A.S.T. with a swarn of dozens or hundreds of rats (and two dogs), leaving everyone else present fleeing for the hills as the rats bite and scratch everyone they get their paws on.

Added DiffLines:

* DestinationDefenestration: Bailey deals with a Maggia goon inside F.E.A.S.T. by hurling him out the nearest window into an alley.


Added DiffLines:

* MagicPants: Vermin's clones seem to grow out of each other's bodies as complete duplicates of each other. This apparently extends to their clothing, as each Vermin has a pair of identically torn shorts once the cloning process is complete.


Added DiffLines:

* SelfDuplication: The Vermin clones that Bailey faces continuously duplicate themselves as time goes on. Bailey watches this happen in real time and is grossed out by the cloning rat monsters. Even worse, they've been duplicating for some time, as his escape to the roof is cut off by another dozen clones.


Added DiffLines:

* SuperWindowJump: Vermin and his clones make their presence known to Bailey and Christina by busting through a window while jumping inside.
* TermsOfEndangerment: Vermin repeatedly refers to Spider-Boy as "little spider" in a manner that's both childish and condescending to Bailey as the youngest of the spider-themed heroes.

* AirVentPassageway: Deconstructed. Bailey and Christina try to escape the rats and dogs chasing after them by crawling through F.E.A.S.T.'s ventilation shafts. Unfortunately, the vents not made to be crawled through. Bailey and Christina's combined weight causes the vents to cave in, nearly leaving them at the mercy of the animals until Vermin calls them off.



* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: Bailey typically ends fights by paralyzing his opponents with his venomous bite. He's not pleased to be on the recieving end of bites while fighting a horde of Vermin clones and their rat followers.
* CatharticScream: When faced with Vermin's endlessly duplicating clones, Bailey asks for a time out before screaming into his hands loudly enough to give the rat monsters pause. He apologizes and says he needed to get that out of his system before leaping into the fray.

* HiveMind: Vermin and his duplicating clones all share a single mind with the original at the helm. While this makes them a dangerously coordinated force too dangerous for Bailey to take head-on, they also share sensations like pain. Bailey and Christina exploit this by blasting them all with a recording of a high-pitched frequency that rats cannot stand. The Vermin hive mind has its discomfort multiplied many times over by its shared senses, leaving Vermin fleeing for the sewers.

* SensoryOverload: Bailey chases away the rat infestation plaguing F.E.A.S.T. during the gang war by playing a loud, high-ptiched screech on a cell phone that the rats cannot stand. Christina helps him scare off Vermin by playing the same frequency but on a much louder set of speakers.

* DeadAlternateCounterpart: After falling into the Renew Your Vows-verse, the Peter Parker from Earth-4477 is shocked to see an adult version of Mary Jane swinging around New York. In his universe, Green Goblin killed her the same way he killed Gwen Stacy on Earth-616.



* KnightInSourArmor: The Peter Parker of Earth-4477 is embittered by the deaths of his Aunt May and Mary Jane Watson. He's cynical, snarky, and rebellious, refusing to listen to any of the Renew Your Vows Spider-Family until Spinneret speaks to him alone. Despite this, his heart remains in the right place and he fights his version of the Sinister Six for the sake of protecting others.



* LastNameBasis: The mysterious spider-person who appears in Issue #14 is an alternate version of Peter Parker whose Mary Jane Watson was killed by the Green Goblin in the same manner as Gwen Stacy in Earth-616. This, combined with the passing of his Aunt May, results in this Peter becoming embittered and cynical. When Spinneret tries to talk to him, he tells her not to call him Peter, as only his Aunt was allowed to call him that, instead going by "Parker".

* SmarterThanYouLook: Despite his [=90s=] teen rebel attitude and looking down upon "nerds" like Gwen Stacy, the Peter Parker from Earth-4477 is as smart as most of his counterparts, robbing several stores to construct an interdimensional portal from their parts entirely on his own. As the Renew Your Vows Peter points out, this level of intelligence makes "Parker" as much of a nerd as he is.

* AlternateUniverseReedRichardsIsAwesome: Spider-Man is hampered dealing with his counterpart from the video game because he has a lot more gadgets to throw at him. Spot also comes across a counterpart that temporarily had the same powers, but also studied them enough to use them to access places he never thought to.


Added DiffLines:

* KarmaHoudini: After killing off a number of his counterparts and threatening the fabric of the multiverse, the worse Spot gets is a taste of his own medicine from one of his counterparts before being restored to his usual power levels and evading the Spider-Men's attempt to apprehend him.


Added DiffLines:

* LaserGuidedKarma: After hopping universes many times to find oblivious counterparts he empowered then killed, Spot encounters one that is already familiar with their powers and turns the transfer around on him to drain him dry.


Added DiffLines:

* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: The Spot states that the reason his competence is all over the board is because he has spots on his brain messing up his mind. After being restored to normal, however, he laughs off what he previously said and states the spots in his brain allow him a form of cosmic awareness to observe parallel universes. Either way he's figuratively not all there at normal power levels.

''Spider-Man Unlimited'' is an Creator/InfinityComics webcomic from Creator/MarvelComics, featuring stories about Characters/SpiderMan. It's initially written by Creator/ChristosGage with art by Simone Buonfantino and color art by Fer Sifuentes-Sujo.

The series is set in the shared Franchise/MarvelUniverse.

As with Marvel's other Infinity Comic webcomics, it's a single-column vertically scrolling comic that's designed to be readable on a phone screen, rather than using a traditional comic book approach to panels and pages.

As an Infinity Comic, the series is initially only available via the Marvel Unlimited app.

The first issue was released September 5, 2023.
----
!!''Spider-Man Unlimited'' contains examples of the following tropes:
* ActuallyADoombot: The first issue opens with Spider-Man and Doctor Doom fighting above the streets of Manhattan. Spider-Man manages to kick Doom in the head and immediately realises he's just fighting a Doombot.
* DeathIsCheap: In the first issue, Spider-Man observes that that Spot has died multiple times, but some weird sort of ResurrectiveImmortality lets his powers keep reforming him in the dimension they connect to. [[spoiler:This time, however, he seems to be DeaderThanDead]].
* EvilVersusOblivion: Although Doctor Doom is a supervillain, when the Spot seems likely to destabilise reality itself, he's keen to stop that happening. Downplayed as his initial response is to alert Spider-Man and order him to fix it, rather than solving the problem himself. If Spider-Man doesn't fix it, Doom's solution will involve fewer moral qualms and far more collateral damage.
-->'''Doombot:''' Resolve the matter, or Doom will. By ''annihilating'' whatever landmass the Spot occupies... and all others unfortunate enough to dwell upon it.
* FirstEpisodeTwist: Doctor Doom warns that the Spot "pursues a course that could destabilize reality itself" and orders Spider-Man to stop him. [[spoiler:The first issue ends with the reveal that the Spot is already dead, with Spider-Man finding his corpse in pieces on a mortuary slab]].
* HelpMistakenForAttack: We don't see exactly what happened, but the series starts with Spider-Man fighting a Doombot, only for it to be revealed that Doctor Doom sent the robot to warn Spider-Man about a threat to the multiverse and give him some tools to help stop it. This being Doom, it was an order, phrased by the Doombot as "Submit to the will of Doom!", so it's no wonder they ended up fighting.
* InfiniteCanvas: As with Marvel's other Infinity Comics, it’s presented in the vertical scrolling variant. Each issue is a single long page, with one column of panels.
* PlotTriggeringDeath: The first arc begins with a FirstEpisodeTwist discovery that the Spot's decapitated body is now in a city morgue.
* QuestGiver: In the first episode, one of Doctor Doom's Doombots turns up to alert Spider-Man to the threat and order him to stop it. Spider-Man directly comments that Doom, unlike less villainous characters, doesn't get to be a quest giver.
-->'''Spider-Man:''' Now, hold on. You don't get to show up like some quest giver, like ''Reed Richards'' or ''Dr. Strange''! You're a ''bad guy''!
* RecycledTitle: ''Spider-Man Unlimited'' has already been used as the title for a 1993 comic, [[WesternAnimation/SpiderManUnlimited an animated series]], a tie-in comic for that series, a 2004 comic and [[VideoGame/SpiderManUnlimited a video game]].
* SpeechBubbles: In the first issue, "Doctor Doom" gets normal speech bubbles until he's revealed as a [[ActuallyADoombot Doombot robot duplicate]]. At that point he switches to italics and his speech bubbles acquire jagged tails, emphasising his mechanical nature.
* TrailersAlwaysSpoil:
** The "About this issue" promo text on the Marvel Unlimited app spoils the FirstEpisodeTwist that the Spot is already dead.
** Marvel.com's promotion for the first arc of the series reveals that it will [[spoiler:introduce the usual Franchise/MarvelUniverse version of Spider-Man (the "Earth-616" Peter Parker) to an AlternateUniverse counterpart based on the ''VideoGame/SpiderManPS4'' video game continuity]]. There's no hint of this in the first issue.
