Marvel's Spider-Man: Webbed Champion/Tropes

A list of TV Tropes for Marvel's Spider-Man: Webbed Champion.

Main TV Tropes
Tropes related to the main show.
 * Action Girl: Very much every female superhero (Tigra, Ghost-Spider, Spider-Girl, Firestar, Wave, etc.) featured in the show.
 * Adaptational Heroism: Starting out as a villain, Carolyn Trainer / Lady Octopus returns as a heroine in the remainder of the show.
 * Adaptational Villainy: Compared to his previous incarnations and the canon version of the show, J. Jonah Jameson has a far more antagonistic role in Webbed Champion, on which he is evidenced to hire Scorpion to kill Spider-Man and force Peter Parker to work for him again at the Daily Bugle. Worse, he is revealed to have witnessed the deaths of Peter's parents, and faked the truth about the incident for protection money. With those crimes exposed, Jameson ended up with nothing more than prison for the rest of his life.
 * All Take and No Give:
 * Peter's friends strongly accuse Norman Osborn of being this to Harry, who did everything to impress his father. As confirmed from the start, Norman had done nothing more than just manipulate and set his own adopted son up.
 * Arc Villain: Each of the three core arcs has a main antagonist:
 * "City of Heroes" has the Master Master, who is later revealed in "Brainstorm" to be Doctor Octopus having relocated his consciousness into the Living Brain via the Neuro-Cortex.
 * "Family Business" has Norman Osborn and Red Skull; both were responsible for the murder of Peter Parker's parents.
 * "Legendary Universes" has August Roman the Regent, who seeks to access the alternate universes explored by Peter's parents for their secret projects, and obtain the discarded Oscorp protocols to impose his iron-fisted will to New York City.
 * Artificial Limbs
 * Like the Canon version of Marvel's Spider-Man, Kraven the Hunter has his cybernetic right arm. It is heavily implied that he earned his bionic arm and lost his eye after his failed attempt to hunt Tigra.
 * Due to the events of his apparent death in "Hobgoblin, Part 2", Norman Osborn sports a few cybernetic limbs, including a prosthetic right leg, a robotic right arm, and his own variant of Tony Stark's Arc Reactor in his chest.
 * Asshole Victim:
 * In "Mother Focus", Red Goblin causes great panic after bombing J. Jonah Jameson's cell on New York Penitentiary, killing him. But no one seems to care about Jameson after he died.
 * Pretty much the inmates of New York Penitentiary (including Spencer Smythe, who was been in jail since Season 1 episode "Ultimate Spider-Man") who are killed offscreen by the Regent in "Legendary Universes, Part 1: Message from the Unknown". While the Regent is considered a public menace for destroying the Penitentiary, no one (even less Spider-Man) laments the inmates' deaths, and with Spider-Man just justifying he and his teammates have more important matters to worry about, and Tigra (regarding how arrogant Smythe and Jameson were) comments "Those fools brought this on themselves. Therefore, they earned their fate.".
 * Attack! Attack... Retreat! Retreat!:
 * Alistair Smythe in his Spider-Slayer armor does this in "Legendary Universes, Part 6: Ultimate Alliance": Alistair Smythe: (to Spider-Girl) You wanna get to these computers? You'll have to get through me! Spider-Girl: (Beast, Ratchet, Tails and Donatello break in the lab) And by "you", you mean all of us? Alistair Smythe: (freezes speechlessly, and then ejects from his power suit) I QUIT!!! (gets zapped and knocked unconscious by BB-8) Spider-Girl: Yeah. I thought you'd say that.
 * Battle in the Rain:
 * In "Seeds of Life", the fight in the Hydra base between the superheroes, Red Skull's crew, and Madame Masque takes place in the rain.
 * Beam-O-War:
 * Carolyn Trainer / Lady Octopus (using her tentacle harness's concussive beams) has this duel with Yon-Rogg (using his gravity-bending gauntlets' energy beams) in "Real Wild Initiation".
 * Berserk Button:
 * Mysterio takes pride in being a master illusionist, but he hates it when others compare him with Loki.
 * Berserker Tears:
 * In the flashback scenes of "City of Heroes, Part 3: American Cats", Mary Jane sheds some while clawing a poster of Flash Thompson and shredding it into pieces in a street, until Peter comes by and comforts her.
 * Liz / Firestar does this in "Seeds of Life", while being the first to attack Green Goblin after he arrives on New York.
 * Beware the Nice Ones:
 * While she is kind and compassionate to her friends, Mary Jane / Tigra also has a dangerous berserker side to the ruthless and unfair individuals. Peter knows this. And Flash Thompson learned this the hard way after she slapped him so hard, that three of his teeth were sent flying out of his mouth. Eddie Brock also learned of this when she and the rest of Peter's friends called Brock out for not knowing that Peter (whom Brock antagonized as a rival for J. Jonah Jameson's favor) merely sought a job at Daily Bugle for money to support his aunt May.
 * Big Damn Heroes: The finale episode has this moment when several friends and allies of Spider-Man, including the crossover heroes (the Jedi Masters, the Freedom Fighters, the Autobots, and the Ninja Turtles), join him, the Champions and the Avengers in the battle against the Regent's army.
 * Bitch Slap:
 * Peter’s aunt May and Mary Jane’s aunt Anna deliver their slaps to J. Jonah Jameson after he is exposed and arrested for threatening Peter's life for money in "On the Tiger’s Claws".
 * Mary Jane delivers a (physically and emotionally) painful one to Flash Thompson in "City of Heroes, Part 3: American Cats".
 * Aunt May delivers a second (and more painful one) to Jameson in "The Parker Errand" after he is exposed for covering the truth about Richard and Mary Parker's deaths by the hands of the Red Skull as an accident for protection money, and declared guilty in his trial.
 * Broken Pedestal:
 * Mary Jane used to praise Flash Thompson for his performance in the Football matches. But (as shown in a flashback of "City of Heroes, Part 3: American Cats") she became disillusioned by him after hearing Flash refer to costumed party entertainers as "useless clowns" during an argument with Jason Macendale (who would soon become Jack O'Lantern), making Mary Jane assume that Flash was still the same arrogant bully who used to pick on Peter, and decide to leave Midtown High to enroll at Horizon High.
 * Cheerful Child: Cassie Lang easily wins the hearts of even the superheroes because of this.
 * Casting Gag:
 * In "Legendary Universes, Part 3: Unlimited Speed", Spider-Man (agreeing with Mary Jane / Tigra about how overbearing and ruthless Dr. Robotnik is) typically compares Robotnik to J. Jonah Jameson about their tones, by concluding: "And strangely enough, he even sounds like Jameson.". This is a reference to Robotnik's voice actor J. K. Simmons, who previously portrayed Jameson in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy films.
 * Composite Character:
 * Mary Jane Watson takes on the moniker of Tigra (originally donned by Greer Grant).
 * Harry Lyman takes on the moniker of White Wolf (originally taken by Hunter, adopted brother of T'Challa / Black Panther) in the end of the season.
 * Michelle Jones / Wave is an amalgam of Zendaya's character in the MCU and Pearl Pangan (the original Wave in Marvel Comics' Agents of Atlas storylines)
 * Cooldown Hug:
 * It takes a hug from her family and friends (especially her beloved Peter) to calm Mary Jane down when she is angry. Even when she is Tigra, that works.
 * This also works (mostly when Mary Jane does it) with Peter whenever he is angered.
 * Crossover: The third and final arc episodes have the Marvel heroes crossing over with heroes from four different franchises: Lucasfilm's Star Wars, Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog, Hasbro's Transformers and Mirage Comics' Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
 * Disappointing Older Sibling: As discovered by Peter Parker and his friends in "City of Heroes, Part 3: American Cats", Flash Thompson had become this for his two younger brothers Marcus and Jack. This is due to Flash disapproving of Marcus' decision to become a costumed party entertainer to impress his high school crush Barbara "Barbie" Morse, and also mocking Jack over his friendship with Cassie Lang.
 * Don't Ask, Just Run:
 * Drowning My Sorrows: Despite not appearing in the episodes after "City of Heroes, Part 3: American Cats", Flash Thompson is mentioned to be in this condition after a series of misfortunes (which he indirectly caused by removing Jason Macendale from Midtown High's football team and referring to party entertainers as "useless clowns"), such as Mary Jane ending her friendship with him and Jack O'Lantern destroying the places of Flash's victories, made him sorrowfully miserable and lonely. There are mentions of Flash having "gone fat with 16 milkshake cups around him".
 * Dual Wielding:
 * Wave wields a pair of escrimas which can extend into a pair of swords.
 * Friend to All Children: Spider-Man and his teammates (especially the girls) are naturally fond of children. Examples include:
 * Mary Jane acting like an older sister for Marcus Thompson's younger brother Jack, and developing a soft spot for Gwen's little cousin Cassie Lang upon first sight.
 * Gwen developing the same soft spot for Jack, by which she makes a very lovable cousin for Cassie.
 * Anya, who has had a good relationship with her best friend's family, has more than once baby-sitted Cassie, and acts like a lovable, second cousin for her.
 * Marcus Thompson, who enjoys amusing children with his "Lyle the Lion" costume, makes a great example for his younger brother Jack, which also wins the heart of his crush-turned-girlfriend Barbie Morse.
 * Green-Eyed Monster: What Peter fears Flash Thompson would become had he been aware of Peter's secret romance with Mary Jane.
 * Half-Human Hybrid:
 * Mary Jane Watson / Tigra is depicted as the daughter of a human nurse and the chief of a alien man-tiger tribe. The teenage Titanian Tiger tribe scouts who capture Eddie Brock in the end of "On the Tiger's Claws" are also shown to be hybrids of humans and Titanian Tigers like Tigra.
 * Hated by All:
 * Very initially, J. Jonah Jameson has been hated primarily by Spider-Man's fanbase for always trying to defame him as a "menace" without sources or evidences. Following the climax of "On the Tiger's Claws", a bigger number of people grow to hate him for hiring a insane super-criminal of Spider-Man's rogues gallery to kidnap Peter Parker, and force him to work at the Daily Bugle again. By the climax of "The Parker Errand", the whole world grows to hate him for having faked the truth about the deaths of Peter's parents for protection money. In "Road to the Legendary Universes", it is stated that even the prison convicts hate him (most were previously defamed by Jameson before Peter even debuted as Spider-Man), and would very often bully him without the guards' intervention.
 * Flash Thompson more eventually becomes this to the staff and students of Horizon High School after hearing from Mary Jane of how awful Flash was to the "useless clowns" (the costumed party entertainers and school team mascots), including his own half-brother Marcus. Following the Jack O'Lantern incident, it can be assumed that students from all other schools and high schools have grown to hate Flash so much, that Midtown High School started losing its reputation for allowing him in.
 * I Did What I Had to Do:
 * Ironic Echo Cut:
 * Happens after Peter quits due to a heated argument with Eddie Brock, which does not bode well on the Daily Bugle for J. Jonah Jameson: Robbie Robertson: "You had to push him, didn't you?" Eddie Brock: "He'll get over it soon. Me? I'm still hired." (cut to Jameson's office) J. Jonah Jameson: "You're fired!"
 * Jerkass Realization:
 * Flash Thompson gets one in "City of Heroes, Part 3: American Cats", when he tearfully understands how his attitude cost him his friendship with Mary Jane, and almost his own life when Jason Macendale came back as Jack O'Lantern to get revenge on him.
 * J. Jonah Jameson (who became obsessed with getting Peter to work for him again) ended up getting a Jerkass Realization in "The Parker Errand" when he learned that Peter was the son of Richard Parker and Mary Reilly, the two deceased scientists he lied about years ago for protection money.
 * Complete with a My God, What Have I Done?, Eddie Brock gets one in "Sons of Fathers", when Peter's friends (especially Mary Jane / Tigra) called Brock out for being a jerk with Peter (who only sought a job on the Bugle for money to support his aunt May) for getting more credit than Brock did.
 * Karmic Death: Red Skull mentions his intentions of using the power of both the Parkers' researches and Madame Masque's ship to increase Hydra's might. Ironically enough, he dies in Madame Masque's ship, obliterated by Arsenal (the result of the Parkers' third project).
 * Leotard of Power: Several female heroines wear these; Tigra and Wave wear two-piece barefoot leotards. Initially wearing her traditional red and blue costume from the comics, Kamala Khan also fits this trope by wearing a replica of Carol Danvers's "old suit": the classic black leotard which Danvers wore as Ms. Marvel. Danvers's current suit is basically the same as the black suit, but with the colors of the Captain Marvel suit.
 * Marked Change: Michelle Jones does this to hide her identity in her superheroine form by using a "Cuttlefish Circuit" nanotech wristband which changes her hair color, and adds artificial tattoos on her body.
 * Meaningful Echo:
 * Most notably Uncle Ben's words that "With Great Power, will come Great Responsibility", which Peter's friends take to the heart.
 * In "Legendary Universes, Part 4: Heroes in Disguise", before leaving back to his dimension, Peter overhears Optimus saying "Til all are one". Later in the finale episode, Peter repeats these same words after summoning countless rings which his allies from the parallel dimensions use for their entrance in the final battle.
 * In "Legendary Universes, Part 5: Of Spiders and Turtles", Spider-Man constantly overhears Michelangelo and Raphael shouting "Cowabunga!". Later in the end, Peter repeats the Turtles' catchphrase (although not loudly) after showing his teammates the dozen of pizzas the Turtles sent for the Champions.
 * Mission Control: Carlie Cooper (going by the alter-ego of Alpha-Owl) plays this role for Spider-Man and his team, similar to Barbara Gordon / Oracle for DC Comics' Batman.
 * Miranda Rights:
 * In "On the Tiger's Claws", J. Jonah Jameson (arrested for hiring Scorpion to kill Spider-Man and bring Peter Parker back to the Daily Bugle by force) yells: "I can't go to prison like this! I have my rights! And I demand my lawyers!", only for a officer to snap that he has the right to remain silent.
 * In "Legendary Universes, Part 3: Unlimited Speed", Dr. Robotnik (while going to jail for his involvement with EggRobo's creation and eventual rampage) shouts: "If you think I'm going to jail and rot that easily, Hedgehog... think again! I still have lawyers! And my-", until Spider-Man shoots a web on his mouth shut saying: "Yeah, my friends and I heard that before. Now, shut it. It's your only right.", with Sonic giving a nod of agreement.
 * My God, What Have I Done?: Eddie Brock makes this expression after Mary Jane / Tigra furiously calls him out for how badly he treated Peter while they both worked at the Daily Bugle. Venom: (on Brock's head) "She's just upset, Eddie." Eddie Brock: "She's not wrong."
 * Offhand Backhand:
 * In on the "On the Tiger's Claws", Amon and Jade do this to J. Jonah Jameson when he recovers and tries to stop them from broadcasting the evidences of his crimes on television; Jade sprays pepper spray on Jameson's eyes, while Amon punches Jameson towards his desk, knocking him out of cold.
 * Oh My Gods!:
 * Again, it is Thor with his famous "Odin's beard!" line.
 * Spider-Man and the male heroes replace the word "God" for the name of Thor's father Odin, as such when they quote phrases like: "Oh, for Odin's sake!" and "What in the name of Odin...?". His female colleagues (Tigra, Ghost-Spider, etc.) quote similar phrases, but in the name of Thor's mother Frigga, such as "Frigga help us" or "Thank Frigga".
 * Orbital Kiss: Peter and Mary Jane share one in "On the Tiger's Claws".
 * Playing With Fire:
 * Being Pyrokinetic-powered superheroes, Dante Pertuz / Inferno and Liz Allan / Firestar fit this trope.
 * Punched Across the Room:
 * Tigra delivers one to Scorpion in "On the Tiger's Claws", with a swipe of her tail.
 * Prongs of Poseidon: When she combines her nanotech escrimas into a bo staff, Wave's weapon becomes a trident.
 * Related in Adaptation:
 * Gwen Stacy is revealed to be a member of the Pym Family; she is one of Hank Pym's granddaughters, Hope Van Dyne's maternal niece and Cassie Lang's older cousin.
 * Secret Keeper: Only those who understand Spider-Man better (his friends, family, teachers and closest heroes) know his identity.
 * Secret Relationship: Peter and Mary Jane have been in this since Mary Jane first discovered Peter is Spider-Man and Peter learned she is Tigra. So far, only their families (including Peter's aunt May) and closest friends from both Horizon High and Midtown High, as well as their teachers (including Max Modell) and closest heroes, are aware of their romance. Peter and Mary Jane still keep their romance in secret from the Midtown High jocks (especially Flash Thompson) because of their belief that none of them would approve.
 * Ship Tease: Starting with the end of "Sons of Fathers", Liz Allan begins to have a much softer friendship with Harry Lyman, implying the progress of their romantic relationship.
 * Shut Up, Hannibal!:
 * In "Real Wild Initiation", Whitney Frost / Madame Masque angrily criticizes Carolyn Trainer's belief that "the Power of Friendship saved the day" as a childish and illogical after Jack's and Cassie's performance thought until Spider-Girl shoots a web on Masque's mouth to shut her up.
 * In "Legendary Universes, Part 3: Unlimited Speed", Robotnik boasts that he will not be in jail for too long until (before he can even mention he has his rights after mentioning his lawyers), Spider-Man shuts him up with a web on his mouth.
 * Simultaneous Arcs: Events of episodes "The Parker Errand" and "What Girls Are Made Of" happen in different places, but in the same time.
 * Sword Plant: Wave loves doing this with her trident to perform her Tornado Move.
 * Tail Slap: Mary Jane's tiger tail is not just a decorative limb for her Tigra form. It is also a powerful weapon. One hit will rocket her opponent off like 50 feet away from her. Peter (regarding Tigra's power) knows this, and advises his friends about it while Tigra is beating up Scorpion. Peter Parker: "Three advices for however fights Tigra: Beware her teeth. They'll break any bone like glass. Beware her claws. They'll cut even the toughest metal like paper. And whatever you do... beware her tail. It's heavy on muscle like a angry Hulk's fists."
 * Taken for Granite: How Sandgirl is defeated by Firestar and Wave in "What Girls Are Made Of". First when Wave calls upon water to solidify Sandgirl, who is then zapped by Firestar's fiery blasts, turning the villainess into a pure glass statue, and leaving her helplessly frozen in place.
 * Tears of Joy:
 * Gwen and Anya shed some tears of joy in "Seed of Life" when Peter happily reunites with his sister Teresa. Aunt May also sheds some after meeting Teresa for the first time and embracing her.
 * In "Mother Focus", Gwen, Mary Jane and Anya shed some tears of joy during Gwen's reunion with her long-lost mother Helen after 10 long years. Hope Van Dyne also sheds some tears of joy while reuniting with Helen, her older sister, in the hospital.
 * Teeth-Clenched Teamwork:
 * In "Sons of Fathers", Peter and his friends (Mary Jane, mostly) do not like having to team up with Venom due to the previous incident involving Venom and Scorpion before J. Jonah Jameson was arrested, although they agree with Peter that "he's just a means to an end".
 * In "Legendary Universes, Part 1: Message from the Unknown", Spider-Man teams up with Eric O'Grady / Captain Ultra to fight the Regent, but he is not too fond of the team-up because of Captain Ultra's massive ego and (as he heard from Gwen and Cassie) his previous conflicts with Scott Lang.
 * Tempting Fate: When voicing her negative opinions about Doctor Octopus, Liz makes her comments about Octavius and his robot tentacles, saying: "You people say he once thought himself superior with those arms on his back, just made me think. Without those things that obliviously think and move for him, he'd likely end up like a armless, legless, and mindless piece of nothing.". Ironically, this is what happens to Doctor Octopus in the end of "Seeds of Life", where Octavius (after freeing freed from Madame Masque's control of him and separated from his robotic arms) becomes nothing more than a physically and mentally disabled inmate in New York's mental hospital.
 * That's Gotta Hurt: Several occasions, such as:
 * In "City of Heroes, Part 3: American Cats", on which Peter, Gwen, Kevin, and Miles cringe when they see Mary Jane angrily slapping Flash Thompson in his face while in the entrance of Horizon High. Gwen Stacy: "Honestly speaking, Peter. I'd really hate to get smacked by this tiger." Peter Parker: "Then, word of advise. Do not. Ever. Get on her bad side. Especially like how that loathsome big bully did."
 * "The Reason You Suck" Speech:
 * In "City of Heroes, Part 3: American Cats" Peter gives one to Flash Thompson (who was scolded at by Mary Jane after what happened in Midtown High), and voices his belief over how Flash's "little victories" (including when Flash helped Spider-Man defeat Venom) made him more arrogant and overconfident than before.
 * Mary Jane / Tigra gives a furious one to Eddie Brock (in response of him saying he did not know Peter just sought a job on the Daily Bugle to support his aunt May), while at the point of even strangling him to death, or even impaling him with her claws. Ultimately, she merely backs down, just saying she hopes that she and her friends will never see Brock and the symbiote in him again.
 * The Stinger: The final episode "Legendary Universes, Part 6: Ultimate Alliance" is the only one with a post-credit scene. In the scene, Damage Control agents are confiscating Alchemax's equipment while Max Modell discusses with Director Nick Fury about the good they could be used for, until a agent reports that one of the equipments: the Hobgoblin equipment which Osborn had sold for Stone, was stolen. This sets up the sequel miniseries Rising Legend.
 * This Cannot Be!:
 * In "The Parker Errand", J. Jonah Jameson (during his trial) makes this expression when Peter is publicly identified as the son of Richard and Mary Parker, the two scientists whose deaths were falsely reported by Jameson as a accident until Spider-Man, Mockingbird, and She-Hulk expose the truth of their deaths as murder by Red Skull's hands.
 * Harry Osborn (his name is revealed as Harry Lyman) shows this expression twice in "Sons of Fathers"; first after learning that his father (actually false father) Norman played a role in the deaths of Peter Parker's parents by the hands of Red Skull and also killed Harry's real parents to take him in as his own. And later after overhearing from Donald Mencken that Norman (presumed dead since "Hobgoblin, Part 2") is still alive.
 * Norman Osborn / Green Goblin also has this expression twice in "Seeds of Life"; first after spotting a grave with the name "Harry Osborn" in it, believing his "son" to be dead. And later after Peter's friends successfully expose his crimes, including his services with Hydra, and his villainous alter ego of Green Goblin for all New York citizens to see.
 * Thinking Up Portals:
 * Because his robot body uses the Tesseract (the cosmic cube containing the Space Stone) as a power source, Jarvis can create teleportation portals anywhere and anytime at will.
 * As in the 2020 Sonic the Hedgehog film, the main power of the Mobian Rings (as shown in "Legendary Universes, Part 3: Unlimited Speed") is to open up doorways to different places and worlds.
 * Three-Point Landing: Several superheroes do this. One even calls it the "superhero landing".
 * Throwing Your Sword Always Works:
 * Michelle Jones / Wave occasionally throws her twin swords like boomerangs as a means of long range attacks.
 * As in the previous Star Wars media, Rey and her fellow Jedi Masters will very occasionally throw their lightsabers as boomerangs as a means for a long-range offensive.
 * Tornado Move:
 * One of Wave's most favorite ways to use her water abilities is to create large water tornadoes. This trait becomes more effective in "Brand New Champions", where she creates a massive one in the sea during a fight against the Sleeper robot.
 * Once again as shown in "Legendary Universes, Part 3: Unlimited Speed", it is Sonic creating tornadoes with his speed powers.
 * Use Your Head:
 * Villainous Breakdown:
 * Norman Osborn / Green Goblin develops this in the climax of "Seeds of Life" after believing that his "son" Harry is dead (unaware that Harry faked his death to break Norman mentally), and Spider-Man's friends continuously pointing Norman as the only one responsible for the tragedy.
 * Augustus Roman / Regent develops one in "Legendary Universes, Part 6: Ultimate Alliance" during his fight against Spider-Man after most of his army is defeated by the Avengers and the dimensionally displaced heroes.
 * What the Hell, Hero?: In "Son of Fathers", Peter's friends throw one at Eddie Brock, not only for bonding with a Symbiote which almost killed innocent humans more than once, but for having shooed off Peter from the Daily Bugle out of jealously of him when Peter was just trying to earn money to support his Aunt May since Uncle Ben's death, before a furious Tigra even accuses Brock of not knowing, or even caring and wanting to know.
 * You Did the Right Thing:
 * You Should Have Died Instead: On his Villainous Breakdown, Osborn throws one at Spider-Man and his friends over the presumed death of Harry. At the same instance, Firestar throws it back on Osborn's face.

Continuity
Tropes associated to the show's tie-in comic book series Princesses of Destiny, and the Disney+ sequel miniseries (Rising Legend and All-Star Multiverse) and TV movies (A Marvel Christmas Carol and Superhero Adventures: Infinity War).
 * Composite Character: Jessica Reilly is an amalgam of Jessica Drew from both Earth-616 and Earth-1610.
 * Cameo:
 * Many characters (heroes and villains) appear in Superhero Adventures: Infinity War, but have no speaking lines.
 * The Champions' crossover friends and allies from the "Legendary Universes" arc (namely Rey Skywalker, BB-8, Chewbacca and Lando Calrissian from the Jedi Masters' dimension, Sonic the Hedgehog, Sally Acorn, and Miles "Tails" Prower from the Freedom Fighters' dimension, Optimus Prime, Arcee, Bumblebee, and Isabella Morgan from the Cybertronian Transformers' dimension, and Leonardo, April O'Neil, and Master Splinter from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' dimension) of Spider-Man: Webbed Champion appear in the finale of Superhero Adventures: Infinity War watching as the Multiverse Star is unlocked.
 * Even the Girls Want Her: Being a Lesbian teenager, Michelle Jones / Wave admits that she has always had a crush and attraction for her female colleagues (including Liz, Mary Jane and Gwen, even though they are heterosexual and are already dating Peter and Kevin respectively), expressing her opinions of how gorgeous they are, although she is already enamored with Kitty Pryde.
 * Finish Dialogue in Unison: Happens twice in Superhero Adventures: Infinity War:
 * First in a conversation between Peter Parker and Reed Richards in the Triskelion: Mister Fantastic: A truly outstanding work that you and friends have done with this building, Peter. Just like what you accomplished with your parents' projects, and everything else. Peter Parker: Truly grateful to hear that, doctor Richards. For a while, I thought you'd say that we messed up for... well... Mister Fantastic: For turning your parents' research lab into a superhero HQ like the Avengers Tower? No, not really. That would be some corrupt business men like Norman Osborn or Tyler Hayward, seeking to buy certain properties because they believed themselves worthy. But, no. Because they're just like Doctor Doom. Selfish. Greedy. And... Both: (unison) ... overwhelmed by ego. Peter Parker: I know. That was Doc Ock's same problem.
 * Second time between Miles Morales and Michelle Jones in Attilan: Miles Morales: Hey, Michelle. How was your dinner with Kitty? Michelle Jones: Pretty good, Miles. Thank you for asking. For a while, I thought my moms were gonna be mad if Kitty and I were on the pool at night. But instead, they approved. And what about you and Lana? Miles Morales: Yep. Everything went well, too. Just like for Gwen and Kevin. And also for Anya and her hunk Hector from the Titanian Tiger tribe. And also, more obviously for... Both: (unison) ...Peter and MJ.

Heartwarming

 * The "City of Heroes" arc has a great amount of heartwarming moments; most of them centered around Peter Parker and his friends, who learned of his secret life as Spider-Man in "On the Tiger's Claws" and expressed support about it.
 * The most heartwarming moment of "On the Tiger's Claws" was during Peter's date with Mary Jane Watson, to whom he apologized for having brought her in danger because of his new ordeal with Venom, Scorpion and J. Jonah Jameson. Mary Jane forgives him claiming that she "only feels him" before they share a passionate kiss. Also, in the same episode, Peter has the strong support of his friends over his double-life as Spider-Man, and his relationship with Mary Jane.
 * The ending of "Part 2: Where There's Smoke" had one between Peter and Liz Allan, who (in her first day as the new heroine Firestar) thanked him for his encouragement and confidence in her, and passionately hugged him.
 * Other heartwarming moments are in "Part 3: American Cats". One of these moments is when Gwen Stacy consoles Mary Jane to help her overcome her anger over Flash Thompson. How Cassie Lang also greets Mary Jane is also pretty heartwarming.
 * Despite its heartbreaking moments, the "Family Business" arc has its heartwarming moments:
 * Starting with the ending of "Sons of Fathers", Liz begins to grow as close to Harry as Peter and Mary Jane have been to each other.
 * The ending of "Seeds of Life" was rather happy and heartwarming, on which Peter (after finishing his parents' projects and bringing Norman Osborn to justice) is reunited with his sister Teresa (a moment which also wins the hearts of Peter's friends, eventually bringing Gwen and Anya to tears of joy), who is given encouragement to live with her brother and Aunt May.
 * One of the most heartwarming relationships was the one between Flash Thompson's estranged younger brother Jack, and Gwen's little cousin Cassie Lang, whose friendship catches the eyes and "steals the hearts" of Peter's friends.
 * Mary Jane has heartwarming moments in "Road to the Legendary Universes" with Aunt May (who assures her she can still remain good as long as she puts aside the bad memories and thoughts) and Groot, whom she befriended after Peter's first battles against Venom and Thanos.
 * The "Legendary Universes" arc had a series of heartwarming moments between Spider-Man's teammates and the crossover heroes.
 * One of these moments is when Peter earns Rey Skywalker's sympathy and blessing in "Part 2: Webs of the Forces". Other moments in the episode involve Chewbacca being compassionate with Teresa whenever she is insecure, and (in the moment the Champions leave back to their dimension) Liz Allan sharing a farewell hug with her partner Jessika Pava. And finally, as in most the Star Wars media, Rey bids Peter and his friends farewell by quoting the Jedi's famous lines: "May the Force be with you" with a compassionate tone.
 * "Part 3: Unlimited Speed" has one between Mary Jane Watson / Tigra and Sonic the Hedgehog's girlfriend Sally Acorn (on which the two view each other as dedicated princesses, and appreciating each other's romance with their respective teams' leaders), and another between Michelle Jones / Wave with Sticks the Badger.
 * In "Part 4: Heroes in Disguise", we see Speed and Ant-Girl forming a very strong friendship with Dinobot leader Grimlock, while Kamala Khan / Ms. Marvel forms one with Autobot scout Bumblebee.

Tear Jerker

 * A flashback featured in "City of Heroes, Part 3: American Cats" had a rather sad, heartbreaking moment. In the flashback, Mary Jane Watson was overhearing Flash Thompson refer to costumed party entertainers as "useless clowns" while kicking Jason Macendale (who would soon become Jack O'Lantern) out of the school's football team for dressing as a clown in a children's hospital. Assuming that Flash was also counting her as one of these "clowns", MJ (feeling upset and hurt, and believing that Flash was still the same loathsome bully who used to pick on Peter) is shown in the flashback shedding very emotional tears while discarding her tiger costume, and dropping out of Midtown High School to enroll at Horizon High. She also angrily claws a football poster with Flash's image, while shedding tears of anger until Peter comforts her. Later in present day, after MJ reprimands him for the event and angrily slaps him in the face, Flash (after finding out she heard what he said about the "useless clowns", and hearing Peter deliver his "The Reason You Stuck" Speech) dropped some tears of guilt and regret.
 * The "Family Business" arc has the highest amount of tearful, heartbreaking moments in the season:
 * One of these moments is a flashback in episode "The Calm Before the Stormranger", on which Peter Parker's mother Mary (who was about to travel with her husband Richard for unknown places and leave their son to Uncle Ben and Aunt May, and acknowledged that they would both be away for a long time) was crying while confessing herself afraid that Peter may never meet his sibling (later revealed in present day to be Peter's long lost younger sister Teresa) in time.
 * "Sons of Fathers" had a rather tearful moment when Harry found out that his father Norman had turned Peter's parents over to the Red Skull, and killed Harry's real parents to take him in as his own.
 * In "Seeds of Life", Liz / Firestar is shown shedding some tears of anger while attacking Norman Osborn in his Green Goblin suit, on which she berates at him for having swindled his own son, and for bringing Peter's parents to their doom.
 * "Mother Focus" has both heartwarming and tearful moments, involving Gwen's attempts to reunite with her long lost mother Helen.
