| 13 | Izuku Midoriya thought he was going to die after he was bitten by a strange spider on his way home from school. After waking from a two-day-long coma, he's surprised to find that not only is he fine, but [[HeroicBuild he now has biceps and a six-pack]]. Things only get weirder when tiny hairs start growing out of his palms, his [[SpiderSense brain starts tingling whenever he's in danger]], he accidentally [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength destroys his desk]] and [[InASingleBound leaps twenty feet in the air]]. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | If that wasn't enough, he inadvertently electrocutes a homeless man in a Spider-Man costume who introduces himself as Peter Parker. Now forced to reevaluate everything he thought was possible, Izuku finds a new mentor and a new path toward his dream of becoming one of the world's greatest Heroes as the spectacular Spider-Man! |

| 21 | Beware of unmarked spoilers. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | !!Amazing Fantasy contains examples of: |
| 24 | [[foldercontrol]] |
| 25 | [[folder:Tropes A-K]] |
| 26 | * TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: |
| 27 | ** The date is said to be 20XX, but the status quo (minus superpowers) is largely the same as the present day thanks to heavy legislation to regulate Quirk usage and the regression of technology in the strife that preceded it. Subtle reminders of the time period pop up here and there, such as the 2,250-foot-tall Bespi Tower in Musutafu and how Music/PostMalone is considered "classical" music. Spider-Man himself is considered an "old-school" character despite being one of the most enduring comic book superheroes in real life. |
| 28 | ** This is made more apparent in the Melissa Shield side-story, where hoverboards and smart tables are treated as common appliances despite being decidedly futuristic by our standards. |
| 29 | * AbandonedArea: Peter first camps out in an abandoned construction site after arriving in Izuku's universe. He later relocates to an abandoned theme park on the outskirts of town. |
| 30 | * AdaptationAmalgamation: Peter's world is a combination of the world depicted in ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse'', the ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'', and the main comics, bringing up the [[Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron Sokovia Incident]] and mentioning both [[Characters/XMenMarauders Mister Sinister]] and [[ComicBook/MsMarvel Kamala Khan]]. |
| 31 | * AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Numerous characters, such as Hanta Sero and Kyouka Jirou, appear earlier than in canon thanks to Izuku's changed-up training schedule and Peter's presence in the story. |
| 32 | * AdaptationExpansion: |
| 33 | ** The story establishes that like every major city, Musutafu isn't all sunshine and roses. Burakumin, an ostracized class of people known for doing dirty jobs in Japan, still exist. They live in the filthy, smog-filled neighborhood of Mob Eisteiku, where they handle jobs like butchering and ore processing away from the shiny streets near U.A. This is where Izuku goes to acquire the materials he needs to develop his own web-fluid, as buying it anywhere else is too expensive for him. |
| 34 | ** Mitsuki's ParentalNeglect is chalked up to how busy she is at work, as she wanted her family to escape the Burakumin stigma she was born into. She's shown to have little understanding of her son's social life and still refers to Izuku as "Izu-kun" under the mistaken belief that he and Katsuki are still close. She's genuinely regretful when she discovers the truth and pleads with Izuku not to give up on him. |
| 35 | * AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: |
| 36 | ** Instead of eating All Might's hair to gain One For All, Izuku is bitten by a genetically altered (and possibly radioactive) spider, giving him the powers of Spider-Man. |
| 37 | ** In the comics, the Prowler is a BadassNormal. Here, she has some degree of SuperStrength and [[GravityMaster the ability to manipulate her own gravity]]. |
| 38 | * AllWebbedUp: Peter never goes into battle without his signature web-shooters and teaches Izuku to make his own. |
| 39 | * AlternateUniverse: |
| 40 | ** Peter lived in one parallel to Izuku's universe, where superpowers are less common and the world was repelling [[AIIsACrapshoot killer robots]] and {{Alien Invasion}}s every week. Izuku's universe also runs parallel to the events of the original ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia''. |
| 41 | ** In another universe, [[Anime/MyHeroAcademiaTwoHeroes Melissa Shields]] is the one bitten by the radioactive spider and becomes Spider-Woman. Marvel characters and properties like Oscorp also exist instead of being fictional as in Izuku's universe. |
| 42 | ** In the universe of "Let the Devil In", Bakugou becomes Venom after losing his chances of getting into U.A. and wages a one-man war against Carnage and his ReligionOfEvil. |
| 43 | ** In "Musutafu 2099", Alchemax has effectively taken over the world and the hero system, turning them into enforcers of a brutally oppressive capitalist regime. Kyouka Jirou is Spider-Woman in this reality, working to fight Alchemax in hopes of freeing the world of its influence. |
| 44 | * AnimalThemedSuperbeing: Peter and Izuku are spider-based. As if the name [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Spider-Man]] wasn't a giveaway. |
| 45 | * ArrestedForHeroism: Without a license, Peter would be arrested for any of his heroic actions in Izuku's world and has to ditch the ambulance to avoid getting interrogated and jailed. The same goes for any other vigilante caught in the act. |
| 46 | * AwesomeButImpractical: Quinten Beck was a special effects expert who created some truly amazing visuals with practical effects and optical illusions, but his methods weren't as cost-effective as CGI so the industry gave him the boot. |
| 47 | * BatFamilyCrossover: Subverted. Peter casually mentions that Izuku won't have to fight "interdimensional vampires" because he only got his powers recently, meaning that both ''ComicBook/SpiderVerse'' and ''ComicBook/SpiderGeddon'' happened at some point before the events of the story. |
| 48 | * BigBadDuumvirate: Mysterio is working with All For One, supplying him with technology while All For One lends him manpower and supplies. |
| 49 | * BigShutUp: |
| 50 | ** Bakugou gets so fed up with Izuku's mumbling over his new "Quirk" that he does this while firing an explosion at Izuku's head. |
| 51 | --->'''Bakugou:''' SHUT THE HELL UP! |
| 52 | ** The Prowler says this to Peter after he webbed her up and won't stop quipping throughout their fight. |
| 53 | --->'''Prowler:''' DAMARE![[note]]An extremely rude version of "BE SILENT!" OR "SHUT IT!"[[/note]] |
| 54 | * BlackAndGreyMorality: The side-story "Musutafu 2099" basically runs on this. The "good guys" of the setting are the Resistance who's run by [[ComicBook/Marvel2099 Doctor Doom]] who basically just wants to establish his own worldwide dictatorship and the Omni subdivision who regularly employ PoliceBrutality. On the other hand, they are also facing [[MegaCorp Alchemax]], which is run by All For One and has utterly wrecked the planet and ruined lives on a whim. Kyouka Jirou is Spider-Woman and is resisting against the system, but she might be just a pawn in both players' schemes. |
| 55 | * BornUnlucky: Peter is cursed with "Parker luck" through his superhero work. His marriage dissolved, he became estranged from his daughter, he's in PerpetualPoverty, and was fired when his ChronicHeroSyndrome won't let him stay at work for long. Izuku is a literal case of this, being one of the relatively rare 20 percent of people to be born without a Quirk, leading to years of torment and derision from his classmates. |
| 56 | * BothSidesHaveAPoint: Peter admits this of the Superhuman Registration Act. While he doesn't support the oppressive regime and overwhelming oversight, he does back the training, living wage, backup from law enforcement, and superhero networking, all of which were handled in Izuku's universe. |
| 57 | * BreatherEpisode: Issue #16 serves as this after the previous issue ended with [[spoiler:Nighteye's team brutally killed or traumatized by Mysterio and the Enforcers]]. Most of the chapter is devoted to allowing the heroes to process what happened just before Shigaraki makes his move at the USJ. |
| 58 | * BunnyEarsLawyer: |
| 59 | ** Although he takes the job seriously, Peter is a quippy jokester who constantly mocks his opponents and generally looks silly with how he only wears the upper half of his costume most of the time. But 30 years of superhero experience means he kicks the asses of all but the most hardened Villains in short order. |
| 60 | ** The Enforcers clearly have a lot of issues, between Clash's ACupAngst, Boomerang's ExtremeDoormat tendencies, and Vulture's loud preening and insensitivity as a JapaneseDelinquent. Despite this, they're all extremely effective {{Professional Killer}}s who seek to murder Pro Heroes en masse. |
| 61 | * ButtMonkey: |
| 62 | ** As usual for Spider-People, Izuku and Peter are the butt of the majority of the story's misfortune and physical slapstick. |
| 63 | ** Bakugou is repeatedly humiliated in public by Izuku (who didn't mean it at all), loses the respect of his peers, and is generally left to stew in his own rage. |
| 64 | * CannotTellAJoke: The first joke Future Izuku cracks in the story is a god-awful pun on web-swinging that provokes a LamePunReaction from his audience. His teenage self has a tendency to take Peter's jabs and jokes at face value. |
| 65 | * CapeSnag: it's mentioned that Peter disapproves of Izuku's insistence on having an All Might-inspired hood, as it could be easily grabbed by someone or snag on something in the middle of a brawl. They compromise by making it detachable. |
| 66 | * CavalryRefusal: Not willingly, but when the Pro Heroes try to save Peter from the Prowler, she quickly takes Mount Lady hostage and declares that she'll kill her if anyone intervenes. As a result, the Heroes are forced to stand back and watch as Peter gets his ass kicked until Izuku runs in and All Might arrives. |
| 67 | * CelebrityParadox: The Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse in its entirety exists in Izuku's world along with the rest of Creator/MarvelComics. He's utterly baffled when the man he electrocutes introduces himself as Peter Parker, as he's read both the comics and seen the Spider-Man movies. At one point, the two of them sit down to marathon through the films and Peter comments on everything he sees in relation to his Earth. |
| 68 | * CharacterNameAlias: After Inko asks who his tutor is, Izuku quickly comes up with the name "Tobey Reilly", combining the names of Creator/TobeyMaguire and Ben Reilly, the Scarlet Spider, together so he wouldn't have to say the much more glaring "Peter Parker". |
| 69 | * CharacterNarrator: The story is primarily told from Izuku's point of view. He provides direct, first-person narration during lulls in the action and while transitioning between scenes. Peter gets narration privileges when he's explaining [[HowWeGotHere how he ended up in Izuku's universe]] over lunch. |
| 70 | * ComesGreatResponsibility: The reason for Peter's ChronicHeroSyndrome. The death of his Uncle Ben motivates Peter to risk his life every day and using his amazing abilities to save others. But this has all but [[{{Deconstruction}} ruined his civilian life]] and he's absolutely miserable outside of costume. This is also referenced in the story's blurb on [[Website/FanfictionDotNet Fanfiction.net]], which declares that Izuku has gotten great power and now has to learn to use it responsibly. |
| 71 | * ComicBookTime: Explicitly defied. In a manner akin to [[ComicBook/MarvelComics2 Earth-982]], Peter and numerous other superheroes have been active since the 70s and 80s and have aged appropriately into the modern day. Several heroes, including Peter and Thor, have children of their own. |
| 72 | * CompositeCharacter: |
| 73 | ** Peter is a combination of many different versions of Spider-Man. His troubled family life and age are derived from ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse''. His membership in the Avengers is taken from his comics counterpart. His advanced webshooters and the HUD in his ExpressiveMask are both taken from ''VideoGame/SpiderManPS4''. Finally, his status as a father of Mayday Parker is taken from his [[ComicBook/SpiderGirl MC2 incarnation]]. |
| 74 | ** Izuku is this of his canon counterpart and ComicBook/MilesMorales as depicted in ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse''. He's got the history, motivation, and mindset of his canon counterpart, but his role as Peter's student, his Venom Strike ability, and confusion regarding alternate universes are taken from Miles. Izuku also shares Miles' appreciation for hip-hop in this story, listening to Post Malone and other rappers, who are considered "classical" artists of his time. |
| 75 | * ComicBooksAreReal: Izuku's disbelief over getting spider-powers is fueled by the fact that Creator/StanLee, Creator/SteveDitko, and Creator/MarvelComics exist in his world and Spider-Man is considered decidedly fictional. |
| 76 | * ContinuityCameo: Several major Marvel characters appear in Peter's flashbacks or are mentioned in passing such as ComicBook/CaptainAmerica, ComicBook/DoctorStrange, ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}, and [[ComicBook/MsMarvel2014 Kamala Khan]]. Creator/StanLee makes an appearance as the costume shop cashier Seto. |
| 77 | * CopKillerManhunt: Peter learns from [[spoiler:Gentle Criminal]] that Pro Heroes in Izuku's world have this mentality among their own. While they accept the risk of death while on the job, if a Villain or criminal makes it personal by attacking an off-duty hero at their personal residence or [[AndYourLittleDogToo targets a hero's loved one]] for RevengeByProxy, the ''entire'' Pro Hero community would hunt them down like a dog. |
| 78 | * CosmicHorrorReveal: Played with in the side-story "As Above, So Below", in which Aoko Kurisu's research into Izuku's blood causes her to have a vision of [[ComicBook/ImmortalHulk the One Below All]]. Ultimately it ends up being [{{defied|Trope}} – Aoko makes sure to destroy all of her research [[HeroicSuicide before committing suicide]], ensuring that the One Below All will never enter the ''Amazing Fantasy'' part of the Multiverse. |
| 79 | * CruelToBeKind: A downplayed version. Due to the discrimination of mutants, Krakoa does its best to find mutants and take them to what they say is a safe place for them. Yet despite many mutants loving their new home, [[spoiler: Mayday]] herself says that not ''all'' mutants wanted to go there, but were forced to. |
| 80 | * CrankyLandlord: Peter's landlord Ditkovich sends the bill in big sharpie marked, ''"WHERE'S MY MONEY PARKER!"'', and generally doesn't seem to have much patience for Peter. |
| 81 | * CreepyGood: Calling back to Steve Ditko's horror days, the story's Fanfiction.net blurb refers to Izuku as his "World's Strangest Hero" as Spider-Man. His wall-crawling and stunt where he nearly got hit by a car unnerved people present. Peter elicited similar reactions when he first started out as a superhero. |
| 82 | * {{Crossover}}: Peter meets his younger counterparts from ''Webcomic/PeterParkerForeignExchangeStudent'' and the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse in the [[https://alexdrawsagain.tumblr.com/post/186430125928/peter-parker-foreign-exchange-student-the "Into the Spider-Fanfic Verse"]] comic by [=AlexDrawsAgain=]. |
| 83 | * CrossoverVillainInChief: Mysterio forms a BigBadDuumvirate with All For One, the GreaterScopeVillain of ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'', supplying superpowered weaponry to the local Villains to wreak havoc on Japan. [[spoiler:Unbeknownst to him, All For One doesn't see him as an equal at all, and [[UnwittingPawn just wants to use him]] to further Shigaraki's ascension.]] |
| 84 | * CultureClash: Izuku and Peter both suffer this while learning about each other's worlds. Izuku is shocked that superheroes would ever go to war with each other, while Peter is astonished that Izuku's world runs on a peaceful and successful version of the Superhuman Registration Act. On a more mundane level, Peter is weirded out by certain Japanese customs like public baths. |
| 85 | * CyberPunk: The side-story "Musutafu 2099" lives and breathes this subgenre. It has the flying cars, advanced technology globalization, over-pollution, income inequality, and a heartless MegaCorp overseeing it all. |
| 86 | * DeadGuyJunior: Mayday is named after her late grandaunt, May Reilly-Parker. |
| 87 | * DeadpanSnarker: |
| 88 | ** Peter always has a quip ready, mocking common crooks for trying to rob a bank in the most superhero-infested city in the world. |
| 89 | --->'''Peter:''' Seriously, I don't understand you people. You'd have to be a moron to try and rob somebody in a city that every hero from D-Man to Thor calls home.\ |
| 90 | '''Bank Robber:''' [[NoYou Screw you, man!]]\ |
| 91 | '''Peter:''' Hey man, you're lucky you got me! Let me tell you, ya would've been disappointed if it was ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}. That Canuck is not a people person. |
| 92 | ** Izuku is genuinely sweet and polite, but he has his own streak of wittiness that he keeps to himself. |
| 93 | --->'''Izuku:''' ''[referring to his punishment for ditching school]'' The fact that my "Quirk" had just awakened probably convinced them to be more lenient. Lucky me. |
| 94 | * DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler:Rock Lock, Fat Gum, Centipeder, and Sir Nighteye die in the raid on Mysterio's warehouse in Chapter 16.]] |
| 95 | * DeathIsCheap: Subverted in Peter's universe. Despite the prevalence of ComicBookDeath in Marvel Comics as a whole, everyone in Peter's universe has stayed dead for the most part, including most of Peter's old rogues. One of the few exceptions in Peter's universe is Thor, who gets [[BackFromTheDead channeled through Donald Blake]] after dying at Ragnarok. |
| 96 | * DefensiveFeintTrap: Bakugou runs into Jirou alone during combat training. Eager to get the small fry out of the way before going after Izuku, he charges after her, becoming particularly determined after she manages to uppercut him hard enough to make him bite his tongue and bleed. During his pursuit, she leads him to a stairwell and he's about to pounce on her when [[spoiler:Izuku reveals that he'd been hiding underneath the stairs and promptly webs Bakugou to a wall. They repeat the stunt later with an even more pissed-off Bakugou, only with Jirou willing to let herself get captured so Izuku can finally knock out Bakugou with a Venom Strike.]] |
| 97 | * DoNotAdjustYourSet: Mysterio hijacks all of the wireless devices in Musutafu to force them to broadcast [[spoiler:his and the Enforcer's murders of Sir Nighteye's team, including the gruesome injuries and deaths of Rock Lock, Snatch, Fatgum, and Centipeder before taping the RasputnianDeath of Nighteye live for everyone to see.]] |
| 98 | * DwindlingParty: During Nighteye's raid against Mysterio's warehouse, his team slowly dwindles due to various factors. [[spoiler:Rock Lock is eviscerated by Vulture, who proceeds to kidnap both Bubble Girl and Centipeder. Snatch is then pulverized by Clash's MK Ultra attack. Fat Gum is killed by Clash soon afterward, leaving Nighteye to face Mysterio alone. After that, Centipeder is killed by Shocker. Nighteye then succumbs to Mysterio, leaving Tamaki (who had been tricked into fighting the police) and Bubble Girl as the only survivors.]] |
| 99 | * EntitledBastard: |
| 100 | ** Mysterio felt he was "owed" money for his special effects work even if they suffered from a case of being AwesomeButImpractical for how expensive they are. Rather than expand his repertoire or seek more cost-efficient methods of producing his work, he turned to supervillainy. |
| 101 | ** In "Let the Devil In", Bakugou never registers how his actions tanked his chances of getting into U.A., including underage smoking and drinking on top of beating Izuku to a pulp at school in broad daylight. As a result, he feels like he's owed admission to U.A. and blames Izuku for ruining his chances of becoming a Hero. |
| 102 | * ExperiencedProtagonist: |
| 103 | ** Peter has been Spider-Man for more than 30 years by the events of the story. He's famous throughout New York and the world, approaching most of his problems with a SeenItAll attitude. |
| 104 | ** In "The Tangled Web of Spider-Woman #9", Melissa has been Spider-Woman for at least several months by the events of the story. She has her own lab, her own Spider-Mobile, TransformationSequence, among other things. She's also moved to New York to get an internship there. |
| 105 | ** In "Let the Devil In", Bakugou has been Venom for several months, becoming the town's most infamous vigilante as he wages a one-man war against Carnage and his followers. |
| 106 | ** In "Musutafu 2099", Jirou has been Spider-Woman for years before the start of the story and is resisting the MegaCorp-controlled future of 2099. |
| 107 | * FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:Fat Gum and Nighteye face their dooms without a hint of fear or despair. Fat Gum imparts some last advice to Clash while thinking about his intern, Tamaki, while Sir Nighteye finds solace in knowing that a Spider-Man will inevitably defeat Mysterio. He even rubs this fact in Mysterio's face as a last act of defiance.]] |
| 108 | * FamedInStory: Izuku becomes a local celebrity people stop to take pictures with as the "Prowler Kid" after rushing to save Peter from the Prowler on live television. To a lesser extent, Peter becomes the police department's biggest headache because of the paperwork his vigilantism creates. |
| 109 | * FantasticAbleism: Izuku was frequently mocked for being Quirkless. Even when the whole classroom ganged up on him, his teachers did nothing to intervene. When Izuku's spider powers developed, he's given a relatively light punishment of cleaning the boards and desks after school and a few days of detention for bolting out of class. Izuku notes that they probably went easy on him because he had just gotten his "Quirk". After the Prowler incident, he bitterly mentions that the Pro Heroes singing his praises probably would have forgotten all about him if it weren't for his "Quirk". |
| 110 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: |
| 111 | ** The police tell Izuku that the spider that bit him was likely some kind of super illegal genetic experiment. Future Izuku dryly remarks, "If only they knew..." |
| 112 | ** Izuku suddenly gains a HeroicBuild after waking up from the spider bite and becomes a BigEater when he's released from the hospital, which worries both him and his mom. His new muscles and increased appetite point to the development of his spider-powers, which start appearing that same day. |
| 113 | * FormerlyFit: Now upon reaching his late forties, along with a junk food diet, Peter has now gained a noticeable gut. He is understandably dismayed that he now has a "dad bod" and thought he'd always maintain a six-pack. |
| 114 | * FusionFic: The multiversal side-stories tend to blend elements of the Marvel Universe into the My Hero Academia setting. For instance, in "Spider-Woman 2099", Alchemax reigns supreme and has complete control over the Hero System. |
| 115 | * HappilyMarried: Implied, given that Future Izuku insists that his wife is ''fine'' after his teenage self wonders if he has cancer or if his blood is radioactive. Subverted in Peter's case, as he got divorced from MJ after she couldn't take the stress of him risking his life every day as a superhero. |
| 116 | * HeroismWontPayTheBills: Peter earned a mere $1,000 every two weeks as an Avenger, but this is partially because of his unwillingness to get most of his income from the man who began ''ComicBook/{{Civil War|2006}}''. Subverted in Izuku's universe, where being a Hero is a good-paying job and the popular Heroes can earn sponsorship deals, merchandising, and other sources of revenue. |
| 117 | * HighAltitudeInterrogation: Peter interrogates the new White Rabbit by taking her out for a few runs on the Spider-Bungee. |
| 118 | * HijackedDestiny: The nature of One For All's successor is inverted from canon. Izuku doesn't meet All Might in that underpass as he's hospitalized from the spider bite. This gives Sir Nighteye enough time to pressure All Might into making Mirio his successor. However, Izuku and All Might end up meeting anyway during the Prowler incident. The Hero laments that he would have loved to make Izuku the next torchbearer had he not already given away One For All. By the time Izuku arrives at school, All Might shows some clear favoritism towards him even though he's not his protégé. |
| 119 | * IdentifyingTheBody: All Might's civilian identity is called in to identify the body of [[spoiler:Sir Nighteye]] after it's brutally mutilated by Mysterio. He laments that he was the only emergency contact listed and is on the verge of breaking down in tears when Gran Torino arrives to help him process his grief. |
| 120 | * ImmoralJournalist: Ouka Oosawagi is a struggling broadcast reporter who seizes on her ability to provide five minutes of "commentary" in her stand-ups to lambast Peter for views and clicks. She spreads conspiracy theories and rumors about him, often with little to no basis, and jumps on any opportunity to get a story even under mysterious circumstances (like when the U.A. barrier is suddenly decayed away by an unknown force). |
| 121 | * InASingleBound: Izuku easily clears a ten-foot gate while fleeing from class. He leaps twenty feet into the air while dodging an oncoming truck the same day. Peter did the same thing when he first got his powers. |
| 122 | * InnerThoughtsOutsiderPuzzlement: Izuku goes on a dramatic inner monologue and stares off into the distance right before the U.A. Entrance Exam. Jirou notices this, waves her hand in front of his face, and lampshades it. |
| 123 | -->'''Jirou:''' Hey, dude. ''[waving her hand in front of his face]'' You kind of zoned out there for a second. ''[gives a coy smile]'' [[GenreSavvy You having a dramatic inner monologue or something?]]\ |
| 124 | '''Izuku:''' ''[shaking his head in a panic]'' W-What!? No... no. Just pre-test jitters! ''[laughing nervously and thinking]'' Please buy that.\ |
| 125 | '''Jirou:''' Riiiight. |
| 126 | * InSeriesNickname: Izuku gets called "Deku" by Bakugou and Peter's daughter May gets called "Mayday". Izuku also calls Bakugou "Kacchan", his AffectionateNickname from when they were kids. |
| 127 | * InSpiteOfANail: |
| 128 | ** Izuku still meets All Might and inspires him to push his limits to salvage a terrible situation despite not meeting him when the Sludge Villain was escaping. |
| 129 | ** Uraraka still hears the name "Deku" from Bakugou and inspires Izuku to take it as an AppropriatedAppellation even though they didn't speak before the entrance exam. |
| 130 | * {{Irony}}: In the manga, Izuku gains One For All after eating All Might's hair and trying to save Bakugou. Here, Izuku gets bitten by a spider and has to be saved by Bakugou. In addition, One For All-using Izuku is infamous for grievously injuring himself with his powers, while Spider-Izuku's powerset comes with a degree of SuperToughness on top of {{Intangibility}} and a SpiderSense for avoiding harm. |
| 131 | * JerkassRealization: During his turn in the Heroes Vs. Villains training exercise, Ida takes the time to wonder why he feels upset that Deku ''thanked'' him for his criticism of his round. He then realizes he'd been holding onto a grudge against Izuku from their first interaction and had been overly judgmental of his fellow classmate. |
| 132 | * KidsAreCruel: Everyone in Izuku's class either bullies Izuku or pities him without bothering to do anything to help him, as they'd rather let him be the punching bag than earn Bakugou's ire. |
| 133 | * KidHero: Izuku is just 14 when he first gets his spider-powers and plans on entering U.A. at 15. Peter also started his superhero career at 15. |
| 134 | [[/folder]] |
| 135 | |
| 136 | [[folder:Tropes L-Z]] |
| 137 | * LanguageBarrier: |
| 138 | ** Subverted with Izuku. Peter immediately assumes that Izuku won't be able to understand a word he says and tries to communicate through charades. He didn't count on Izuku responding in broken, but intelligible English. Of course, there are still plenty of words that Izuku doesn't know and he can't keep up if Peter speaks too quickly, but the language divide is far from insurmountable. The two Spider-Men manage to teach each other English and Japanese to overcome this completely. |
| 139 | --->'''Izuku:''' I can tell and hear English, sir.\ |
| 140 | '''Peter:''' You can understand...? ''[sighs and {{facepalm}}s]'' Smooth, Peter. You just made yourself look like an ass in front of a teenager. |
| 141 | ** Played straight during his fight with the Prowler. Neither of them can understand a word of what the other is saying, but his constant quipping quickly grates on her nerves. Peter can only assume that her growling and angry responses are a flurry of Japanese curses. |
| 142 | * LanguageFluencyReveal: When Izuku knocks out Peter Parker when he thinks the latter is trying to mug him, Peter tries to ask him in Japanese what just happened, not knowing that all Japanese people speak English. Peter feels embarrassed for making a doofus of himself when Izuku tells him he knows English. |
| 143 | * LegacyCharacter: |
| 144 | ** Izuku is taking on the mantle of Spider-Man in this story, having gotten Peter's blessing and tutelage. Also {{Deconstructed|Trope}}, as this means Izuku inherits all of Peter's enemies as well, which is seen when he's singled out by Shigaraki and Kangaroo at USJ. |
| 145 | ** Mysterio's equipment spawned a new generation of Villains using Marvel-styled weaponry to make a name for themselves. This includes the Rocket Racer Gang, the Beetle Gang, and many more examples of CListFodder. Mysterio's Enforcers: Clash, Boomerang, Vulture, and Shocker, are far more dangerous by comparison and have Quirks of their own, making them [[SuperiorSuccessor even more deadly than the originals.]] |
| 146 | ** Interestingly enough, dozens or even hundreds of Heroes and Villains of the past have taken on the names of the comic books they grew up reading about. However, it's a cultural faux pas to do it in the present, as major corporations made huge campaigns against the practice out of spite for the people profiting off the image of characters they once owned. This lands Izuku, the newest person to take on the Spider-Man mantle, in hot water with Disney, who try to "suggest" he change his identity. |
| 147 | * LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain: While helping Peter clear a run-down fridge of an angry raccoon and rotting food, they come across what appears to be a disturbing unidentified lifeform. The two of them agree that they never want to find out what it is. |
| 148 | * LuminescentBlush: Izuku turns bright red when Peter starts alluding to the effects of puberty and his new spider-powers. Peter also blushes a little when he realizes that he made himself look like an ass in front of Izuku, who has at least a rudimentary understanding of English. |
| 149 | * {{Masquerade}}: The side-stories reveal that part of the reason why Izuku wasn’t taken away by the government is because he’s not the only being whose powers don’t come from the Quirk. Various governments around the world have discovered other instances of strange, otherworldly beings whose abilities come from either the unknown reaches of space or something equating to magic. Rather than revealing this to the world, they instead pass off these individuals as Quirk Users and conscript them as licensed Heroes. The biggest example of this is [[ComicBook/SupremePower Project: Hyperion]] from the United States. |
| 150 | * MoodWhiplash: Izuku is over the moon when he hears that he's been accepted into U.A., but his elation is cut short when All Might informs him that [[spoiler:he'll have to come to U.A. early so Nezu can interrogate him on how he has powers without a Quirk.]] |
| 151 | * TheMultiverse: |
| 152 | ** Izuku's universe is one of an infinite number of universes that go any number of ways on top of overlapping with other multiverses. In addition to Peter's universe, it's connected to a universe where Izuku is [[Fanfic/ThievesCanBeHeroes a phantom thief]] and another where he's [[Fanfic/NeitherABirdNorAPlaneItsDeku the last survivor of Krypton]]. |
| 153 | ** [[spoiler:Sir Nighteye ends up seeing the multiverse when he touches Mysterio.]] It's described as being like a snowflake as seen in ''ComicBook/{{Planetary}}'' and has glimpses of heaven, hell, [[ComicBook/TheFlash the Speed Force]], among other features native to both Creator/DCComics and Creator/MarvelComics. |
| 154 | * MundaneSolution: All Might uses {{duct tape|ForEverything}} to tie down the detonator switch the Prowler was using to hold Mount Lady hostage. He then tosses it into another prefecture to ensure that it would be too far away to trigger the bomb. |
| 155 | -->'''Prowler:''' Get back! I still have the trigger! I'll kill her! I swear to…!\ |
| 156 | '''All Might:''' Oh? You mean this? ''[holds up the trigger that's been wrapped in tape]'' Duct tape! Useful for all things from fixing leaky pipes… ''[tosses it past the horizon]'' to robbing a Villain of her bargaining chip! |
| 157 | * MythologyGag: [[MythologyGag/AmazingFantasy Enough to have its own page.]] |
| 158 | * MySignificanceSenseIsTingling: Expect Izuku's and Peter's SpiderSense to go off whenever something big is about to happen. |
| 159 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: The X-Men supposedly killed [[spoiler: Mr. Sinister]], but in secret, they kept him alive to do their work. This of course without their knowledge, bites them in the butt as [[spoiler: Sinister]] finds a way out of their thumb and even works with Quentin to create a Quirk Mutant hybrid while kidnapping mutants to the X-men's shock. |
| 160 | * OldShame: In-universe, All Might considers his Christmas album this as it isn’t released in any other country but the United States. Even then he only recorded it while drunk and strapped for cash while training in America. |
| 161 | * {{Omake}}: The story has a number of non-canon sidestories to explore assorted ideas. For instance, a short in which [[ComicBook/SpiderGirl MC2 Mayday]] gets thrown into Izuku's universe was written for Valentine's Day. |
| 162 | * PerspectiveFlip: The story frequently uses this to get into the heads of characters other than Izuku. |
| 163 | * PointOfDivergence: |
| 164 | ** The story begins when Izuku decides to turn down an alleyway out of curiosity instead of the shady underpass he walked under in the original manga. As a result, he has a run-in with the Prowler, gets bitten by the spider, is hospitalized, and gains the powers of Spider-Man. He never meets the Sludge Villain or ever learns All Might's secret. All Might ends up finding a successor first and passes down One For All to them, but secretly muses that he would've loved to hand his Quirk to Izuku when they meet. |
| 165 | ** Peter never joined the Pro-Reg side in the superhero civil war and ''ComicBook/OneMoreDay'' never happened. As a result, May eventually dies of old age, Peter is a father, and he and MJ are divorced due to the stresses of his superheroing. |
| 166 | * PoliceAreUseless: Subverted. While the rise of Heroes has sidelined the role of traditional law enforcement in the eyes of the public, police officers still play a vital role in busting criminals and doing investigative work. |
| 167 | * PostWakeUpRealization: Izuku's too busy reeling from barely surviving a spider bite that put him in a coma for two days to notice that he'd completely lost his GeekPhysique while he was unconscious. He only realizes the change after Dr. Tsubasa mentions it while doing blood tests. |
| 168 | * PrescienceByAnalysis: Peter mentions that Reed Richards attempted this as part of his support for the Superhuman Registration Act. The problem was that it wasn't peer-reviewed and no one else could understand it but him, which destroys Reed's arguments when the SHRA was put on trial. He suffers a falling out with Sue for months afterward. |
| 169 | * ProfessionalButtKisser: Izuku's peers at school sucked up to Bakugou out of fear of getting beaten up themselves, letting Izuku be the punching bag and joining in on Bakugou's antics for years. When Izuku gains his spider powers and unintentionally humiliates Bakugou, [[FairWeatherFoe they immediately drift over to Izuku in hopes of riding off his fame as the Prowler Kid]]. Izuku is aware of this and declines to hang out with any of his old tormentors. |
| 170 | * ProjectileWebbing: The story features the [[ComicBook/SpiderMan original web-slinger himself]], who teaches a newly spider-powered Izuku how to make his own web formula and web-shooters. |
| 171 | * RapidFireNo: Mysterio says this as Peter starts kicking his ass again. |
| 172 | -->'''Mysterio:''' No, no, no…!\ |
| 173 | '''Peter:''' Oh, yes, yes, yes! |
| 174 | * RealityHasNoSubtitles: In Melissa Shield’s side-story, she speaks in untranslated Spanish with a bodega cashier while Martin and the Demons speak in Chinese. The reader is only given the general gist of the conversation through character actions or thoughts. |
| 175 | * ReligionOfEvil: Cletus Kasady, aka Carnage, heads one. Cletus and his ilk worship the god Knull, a primordial being who revels in death and darkness and the creator of the symbiotes. To this end, Carnage recruits {{Serial Killer}}s like himself as well as the downtrodden and insane to turn Earth-2018.688 into one giant offering to Knull. Their efforts are opposed by the Katsuki Bakugou of that world, who has since bonded with the Venom symbiote and is taking down their members one by one. |
| 176 | * RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: In the last legs of "The Enforcers!", it's revealed that information about Nighteye's raid was leaked by a corrupt police chief Mysterio had bribed, [[spoiler:leading to the operation's complete and utter failure.]] [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness The chief is later found riddled with bullet holes atop a car after being dropped from a hundred feet in the air by Vulture.]] |
| 177 | * SecondaryColorNemesis: |
| 178 | ** Mysterio's costume is a green bodysuit along with a purple cape and yellow accessories. The Prowler's purple costume with green flame designs contrasts Peter's PrimaryColorChampion. |
| 179 | ** Izuku inverts this, as his primarily green and white costumes starkly contrast with the black bodysuit and blue flaming head of Mysterio's robot avatar. |
| 180 | * ShockAndAwe: |
| 181 | ** Izuku possesses the same Venom Strike power as ComicBook/MilesMorales, accidentally electrocuting Peter and sending him flying backward. But he can only use it [[ItOnlyWorksOnce once a day.]] |
| 182 | ** The Prowler's shinai can produce electricity, paralyzing those struck by it. |
| 183 | * ShootTheTelevision: Stain throws a knife at and stomps on his small TV out of disgust when he sees Mount Lady on the news. |
| 184 | * ShoutOut: |
| 185 | ** Mysterio is a fan of Creator/JohnCarpenter, has a screensaver of ''[[Film/BigTroubleInLittleChina Big Trouble in Little China's]]'' poster and his password is ''[[Film/TheThing1982 JC'STheThing]]''. |
| 186 | ** The teens that stop Izuku to take a picture of him are dead-ringers to Wam and his gang from ''Anime/DevilmanCrybaby'' due to their clothing as well as being aspiring rappers. |
| 187 | ** The abandoned amusement park Peter’s staying at is called Jakuri Park, which is a reference to Rey’s homeworld from ''Film/StarWarsTheForceAwakens''. This is, of course, [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by Peter himself. |
| 188 | ** The reason why Jakuri Park is abandoned is explained by Izuku as the result of a recession, bringing to mind the explanation for the “park” in Anime/SpiritedAway. |
| 189 | ** Peter also introduces the park to Izuku the way John Hammond introduces his own in ''Film/JurassicPark''. |
| 190 | ** Izuku's chemistry teacher is named [[VisualNovel/SteinsGate Kurisu]]. |
| 191 | ** The Mob Eisteiku section of Musutafu takes inspiration from Mos Eisley, the lawless spaceport Luke visits in ''Film/StarWarsANewHope''. |
| 192 | ** Izuku jumps off "Bespi Tower" to get over his fear of heights. This is a reference to [[https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Bespin/ Bespin]], the planet where Luke dueled Vader and lost his hand. |
| 193 | ** Toga listens to "[[Music/TheBeatles Helter Skelter]]" while leaving the area where Peter defeated the Rocket Racers. |
| 194 | ** Izuku's Venom Strike is activated by his buried feelings of anger and resentment as well as his long-repressed desire to lash out at others for wronging him, much like [[Franchise/StarWars Force Lightning.]] |
| 195 | ** Music/TheRamones’ cover for the Spider-Man theme song is mentioned, and played, by Izuku. |
| 196 | ** Peter states that in his universe, it was Music/{{U2}} who played his unofficial theme song. |
| 197 | ** Stain has several ComicBook/MrA comics in his apartment. |
| 198 | ** Martin Li’s smart table demands Melissa pay five cents for her coffee with cream and sugar’s cost being separated. This is similar to how Joe Chip’s apartment demanded him to pay before he performed any basic necessities in ''Literature/{{Ubik}}''. The similarities are noted when Martin says his assistant put in the commands from a book she read because she thought it was funny. |
| 199 | ** After the U.A. Entrance Exam, Izuku and Peter catch a bite to eat at a burger joint called [[VideoGame/Persona5 Big Bang Burger and are eating a burger that's apparently difficult to finish in under half an hour]]. |
| 200 | ** The events of Earth-2018.562 are based on [[https://www.deviantart.com/ducklordethan/gallery/66938478/Marvel-Academia DuckLordEthan's "Marvel Academia" art series]]. |
| 201 | ** Class 1-A has to solve an English problem that is a quote from ''Literature/{{Gladiator}}''. Izuku also reads a passage from the book. |
| 202 | ** “Gunga Pizza” is a reference to the [[https://www.starwars.com/databank/gungan Gungans]], a species introduced in ''Film/ThePhantomMenace''. |
| 203 | ** Jirou mentions that she doesn't have the bust to wear spandex, referencing a quote by [[ComicBook/TheAuthority Jenny Sparks]]. |
| 204 | ** The three vulture lawyers are a reference to [[WesternAnimation/Ducktales2017 McDuck Industries’]] three Board of Directors. |
| 205 | ** During its monologue to Nezu, [[spoiler: The Living Brain]] rants how much it ''hates'' humanity, ending its previously elegant descriptions with "'''Hate. Hate.'''", much like the supercomputer AM from Literature/IHaveNoMouthAndIMustScream |
| 206 | *** On top of that, [[spoiler: The Living Brain]] prefixes his lines with an announcement of what type of sentence he's using, much like HK-47 from Bioware's VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic. |
| 207 | ** The title of the Bakugou side-story "Let The Devil In" is taken from a recurring lyric in {{Music/Eminem}}'s title track from the 2018 ''{{Film/Venom|2018}}'' movie. |
| 208 | ** The side-story “Musutafu 2099” references various works of the CyberPunk subgenre. The new currency in Japan, New Yen, is taken from Literature/{{Neuromancer}} while the comment of various animals going extinct with the commercialization of robot ones is from Literature/DoAndroidsDreamOfElectricSheep. |
| 209 | ** The sidestory "As Above, So Below" is not only inspired by Creator/HPLovecraft but also by [[spoiler:Stan Uris' suicide in ''Literature/{{It}}'']], by WordOfGod. |
| 210 | * ShowWithinAShow: |
| 211 | ** In Izuku's universe, Spider-Man is treated much like he is in the real world: a fictional character depicted in a series of comic books, movies, video games, and merchandise distributed by Marvel Comics. This contributes to Izuku's disbelief that he could possibly have Spider-Man's powers, as it was [[ThisIsReality fiction while he lived in reality.]] According to the author, the inverse is true for Peter's universe as the events of ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'' are just a manga there. |
| 212 | ** There is an InUniverse show called “Teleporting Party Crasher” that Mount Lady and Toga watch on their downtime. |
| 213 | * SirSwearsALot: Bakugou, as usual, cusses constantly. The Prowler isn't much better. |
| 214 | * SkewedPriorities: Disney tried to lobby Congress to further extend its copyright protections over characters like Spider-Man... while the world was teetering on the edge of collapse from the rise of Quirks. Naturally, Disney got ignored in favor of more pressing matters, which let Disney's properties go into the public domain. The House of Mouse has gone on a crusade against people using the image of characters they once owned ever since by making it a cultural faux pas. |
| 215 | * SocialMediaIsBad: The Prowler tracks Peter down when people snapped photos of him eating with Izuku and posted them online, allowing her to ambush and nearly kill him. Izuku is wary of doing anything traceable online from then on, choosing to buy things with cash in person rather than risk creating any other trails to his mentor. |
| 216 | * SpiderSense: Izuku's powers come with the classic Spider-Sense, alerting him when Bakugou was sending an explosion at him and ensuring that he managed to jump out of the way of an oncoming car. Naturally, Peter has this too as the original article. |
| 217 | * StandardEvilOrganizationSquad: The League of Villains has been collaborating with Mysterio, who provides them with technology from the Marvel Universe. He also outfits numerous upstart criminals with the equipment of D-list Marvel Villains like the Rocket Racer, Big Wheel, and Stilt-Man. |
| 218 | * StarstruckSpeechless: Izuku meets All Might after the Prowler incident and is totally tongue-tied. He desperately tries to work up the nerve to say ''something'', only to blurt out "I love you!", to his intense embarrassment. He's finally able to speak properly after All Might starts asking him questions. |
| 219 | * SuperheroesWearTights: Many Heroes in the story wear spandex as part of their costumes, including All Might and Peter. In some cases, like Mount Lady's, this is a necessity as their costumes are specifically designed to [[MySuitIsAlsoSuper handle their Quirks.]] |
| 220 | * SupermanStaysOutOfGotham: For some reason, Spidey is one of the only superheroes in New York to actually take on street crime, stopping bank robberies and investigating things while the entirety of the Avengers are off stopping an AlienInvasion or some other ApocalypseHow scenario. Lampshaded, of course: |
| 221 | -->In a city that was just lousy with superheroes, how come it always seemed like he was the only one on top of things like this? How come he doesn't see someone like Daredevil just a few rooftops away also going over to investigate?\ |
| 222 | '''Peter:''' Aw, who am I kidding? He's probably busy with the Hand or something. |
| 223 | * SuperReflexes: Izuku's powers come with a boost to his reflexes, ducking under one of Bakugou's explosions as if it were in slow motion and jumping out of the way on an oncoming car in a split second. They aren't infallible, as he fell flat on his face after Peter webbed him by accident while being blown backward by Izuku's Venom Strike. |
| 224 | * SuperStrength: Izuku is strong enough to accidentally smash his desk to pieces while trying to dodge one of Bakugou's explosions. Peter is even stronger, easily kicking the Prowler through a brick wall albeit he's out of shape. |
| 225 | * TakeThat: |
| 226 | ** Peter's narration of his version of ''ComicBook/{{Civil War|2006}}'' is one long jab at how stupidly both sides acted and how poorly something like it would fly in reality. |
| 227 | ** [[Creator/{{Disney}} Disney's]] lawyers are portrayed as {{Funny Animal}}s with vulture and mosquito heads while the narrative admonishes their constant attempts to extend their copyright protections even as chaos looms on the horizon. They also badger anyone who takes on the names of comic book characters, including Izuku. |
| 228 | ** Jirou takes potshots at the tide of edgy, brooding [[AntiHero Anti-Heroes]] from the 90s and early 2000s that wore black everything and too many {{Badass Longcoat}}s. She takes special note of how overly self-important they felt. |
| 229 | ** In the author's notes at the end of Chapter 10, The Infamous Man decries ''ComicBook/TheBoys'' by Creator/GarthEnnis as a 'Sixty issue long [[HateFic bashfic]] filled with [[StrawmanPolitical Strawmen]] that you shouldn't read.' |
| 230 | * ThatCameOutWrong: Izuku says the day after he got a grasp on his Venom Strike and shocked Peter again, he tried it again and let the sparks fly... before admonishing the reader and saying that they know what he means. |
| 231 | -->'''Izuku:''' We met the next day and tried it again, and I was able to see the sparks fly… Okay, stop looking at me like that. You know what I mean. |
| 232 | * ThemeNaming: Every chapter is called an "issue" like a comic book and is given a title related to major arcs, events, devices, or installments of Spider-Man. |
| 233 | * ThereAreNoTherapists: Subverted. Because of his various traumatic experiences, Peter regularly visits William Samson/Doc Samson for therapy sessions. |
| 234 | * TrainingMontage: The majority of Issue 5, "Learning Curve", is devoted to Izuku learning the limits of his new powers and the ins and outs of being Spider-Man, from wall-crawling techniques to building and maintaining his own web-shooters. The montage continues through Issue 6, which has Izuku settling into his new abilities and how "normal" he is now that he's no longer Quirkless. |
| 235 | * VillainTakesAnInterest: During the UA Sports Festival, Izuku shouts "I AM SPIDER-MAN!" to psyche himself up. Unfortunately, Mysterio was watching the broadcast. [[spoiler:Because of his obsession with being the one to kill Peter Parker, Mysterio refuses to let ''anyone else'' bear the mantle of Spider-Man. Hearing that claim, Mysterio orders his Enforcers to dig up every detail about Izuku, his family, his potential crushes, and any friends he might have with the intention of killing '''all''' of them to make Izuku suffer for daring to take the name of his ArchEnemy.]] |
| 236 | * WallRun: The Prowler is able to run straight up a wall as if gravity didn't affect her. Peter also runs straight up a wall even without the help of his WallCrawling powers with his SuperStrength and momentum. Izuku demonstrates his new powers to his mom this way. |
| 237 | * WhamEpisode Chapters 15 and 16: [[spoiler: The raid on Mystero's warehouse fails resulting in the deaths of Rocklock, Fatgum, Centipeder, and Nighteye which is broadasted throughout the world.]] |
| 238 | * WillfullyWeak: Peter has Izuku squeeze stress balls to teach him to control his SuperStrength so he won't apply more force than he needs to. As a result, neither of them brings their full force to bear in most fights because it would severely injure or even kill someone. [[spoiler:Stain finds this out the hard way when Peter enters a state of TranquilFury and punches him so hard that [[MadeOfIron Stain's]] jaw is instantly fractured and partially dislocated. This same blow also tore off a chunk of his cheek and crushed Stain's lips.]] |
| 239 | * WhatTheHellHero: [[spoiler: Daredevil]] says this to [[spoiler: Mayday]] when her actions cause many people to get hurt between her fight and Hobgoblin. Needless to say, she feels bad about what her actions have created. |
| 240 | * WoundedHeroWeakerHelper: Peter is badly wounded by the Prowler and his attempts to limit collateral to the surrounding area. When Prowler takes a hostage to keep the Pro Heroes from intervening, the cowardly and insecure Izuku, who had only just gotten his spider powers that same day, is the only one to rush in to help Peter. |
| 241 | * WretchedHive: Downplayed. In contrast to the pristine streets around U.A., Mob Eisteiku is the roughest part of town. The streets are filthy, the air is filled with pungent smog, and people are always wary of being mugged. At the same time, most people living there aren't necessarily evil or villainous. They're just Burakumin, people born into families known for handling the dirty jobs that no one else will. Izuku is ashamed at how unnerved he is of the people he's sworn to protect once he becomes a Hero, especially after he learns that Mitsuki Bakugou used to live there too. |
| 242 | * YearX: The story is said to take place in 20XX. By this point in time, artists like Music/PostMalone and Beau Young Prince are considered classical music, and skyscrapers top 2,200 feet. |
| 243 | * YourCostumeNeedsWork: Since ComicBooksAreReal isn't a widely-known fact, Peter and Mysterio are assumed to be copycats rather than the genuine articles. |
| 244 | * YourMagicsNoGoodHere: Downplayed. The chemicals Peter used to create his own web fluid don't exist in Izuku's universe, meaning that he can't make more of it the way he knows how. Instead, he and Izuku develop a new web fluid formula from whatever Izuku is able to procure. |
