Gone Horribly Right | |
| Spider-Man (1981) / int_1994ba0b | comment |
Gone Horribly Right: The Chameleon's plan in "Arsenic and Aunt May" is to take advantage of Spider-Man's role in Ben's death by drugging and manipulating May into becoming determined to kill Spidey. Spider-Man doesn't even recognize what's happening until he spots the Chameleon's truck outside May's and follows him back to his lair. As Spider-Man gets caught up in various defenses, the Chameleon intends to slip away and avoid police by dressing up as the webslinger. What he didn't know was that May was nearby and saw him in costume, so she started attacking him and inadvertently foiled his getaway. | |

Adaptational Villainy | |
| Spider-Man (1981) / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: The Lizard is depicted as a straight-up madman bent on helping reptiles overthrow humanity from the get-go, when the comics portrayed him as an innocent scientist whose transformations were a side effect of attempting to regrow his lost arm. For all we know, this incarnation of Curt Connors may have even deliberately caused his transformation into a humanoid reptile. This version also depicts him with the ability to speak. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Spider-Man (1981) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: "The Sandman is Coming" has Spider-Man forced to flee from fighting the Sandman after losing his mask to avoid having his secret identity exposed. The same thing happened during Spidey's first fight with the Sandman in the comics. Peter refusing to donate blood is probably one to the "Master planner" arc in the comics where (after previously giving blood to Aunt May she developed radiation poisoning and Peter barely managed to find a means to save her in time. Given the series opens a number of years into his career its very possible Spidey faced that issue in this universe as well and has no desire to go though that again. | |

Rogues' Gallery Transplant: Doctor Doom is featured as a recurring villain in the series with no mention ever made of his usual enemies the Fantastic Four. Spider-Man fights Magneto in the episode "When Magneto Speaks...People Listen", with Magneto's usual enemies the X-Men being nowhere in sight. Spider-Man deals with the Wizard, a Fantastic Four villain, in "Under the Wizard's Spell". | |

Leaning on the Fourth Wall | |
| Spider-Man (1981) / int_4a3e547f | comment |
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: "Triangle of Evil" has a couple examples. During their first televised challenge, the Stuntman zaps Spider-Man's webline. As it starts to give out, the director says it's time for a commercial break, which the actual episode soon cuts to. Later, Spider-Man has trouble crawling up a building and asks a worker to spray it clean with his hose. The water is animated splashing back against the fourth wall and briefly dripping from there. | |

Laser-Guided Karma: "The Sandman is Coming" has two cases of unscrupulous characters immediately getting their just deserts. J. Jonah Jameson sees Spider-Man about to get hit by a truck and refuses to help him, only to get arrested because a bystander saw him gloat about photographing Spider-Man's death and reported him to the police. Peter Parker's mean-spirited classmate Sally-Ann Beaumont also tries to get Peter expelled by claiming that he left her at the mercy of the Sandman, but she ends up expelled instead when Spider-Man presents the teachers with photographic evidence that she shoved Peter into harm's way. | |

The Password Is Always "Swordfish": Stopping the missiles in "The A-B-C's of D-O-O-M" requires inputting a special code that Goron programmed on behalf of Doctor Doom. With only 30 seconds, Spider-Man types in "Doom" as a guess and proves lucky. He reasoned that Doom's own massive ego made it so likely. | |

Costume Copycat | |
| Spider-Man (1981) / int_bc281366 | comment |
Costume Copycat: "The Capture of Captain America" features a heroic version. With Spider-Man getting blamed for Red Skull capturing Cap, he can't be seen in public without getting attacked by a mob. Peter goes to a costume shop and dresses up like Captain America in order to get around and follow a tracer to the Red Skull's location. He briefly tries to imitate Cap's voice while trying to bum a ride. "Arsenic and Aunt May": Chameleon resorts to this. He doesn't have any big scheme for why; he just wants to flee from his lair, while Spider-Man is fighting his way through various traps. This choice of disguises was in order to evade police, as the Chameleon had just broken out of prison and the real Spider-Man had been on the police's good side recently for some good deeds. | |

"The Capture of Captain America": Spider-Man accidentally gives Red Skull the opportunity to capture Cap, but Jonah gins up an angry mob into believing Spidey did it deliberately. With the entire city condemning him, Spider-Man needs to rescue Cap. | |

Horrible Judge of Character | |
| Spider-Man (1981) / int_c5385ad9 | comment |
Horrible Judge of Character: In contrast to his tendency to have it in for Spidey in spite of the web-slinger time and time again stopping criminals and saving the day, J. Jonah Jameson always thinks that Doctor Doom is a good person. You'd think that the name would tip him off. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Spider-Man (1981) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: In "Dr. Doom, Master of the World", an elderly pilot retorts to Spider-Man's remark about his beat-up plane by asking if he was expecting the Starship Enterprise. The end of the episode also has Peter Parker ask Betty Brant if she'd like to see a movie about a super-guy from another planet who is allergic to green rocks. In "Curiosity Killed the Spider-Man" a bespectacled man who looks exactly like Clark Kent is using a phone-booth and Spider-Man remarks that he looks familiar. "The Incredible Shrinking Spider-Man" features at least two iconic moments from the Richard Matheson book in which Spider-Man encounters a cat and a Black Widow spider. | |

Killed Off for Real | |
| Spider-Man (1981) / int_cda501da | comment |
Killed Off for Real: Heavily implied to be the case for Doctor Doom after being blasted by his own Kill Sat in "Countdown to Doom", the finale of his multi-episode Story Arc. Tellingly, he never returns after this and every Doombot across the world shuts down after his demise. | |

Spin-Off | |
| Spider-Man (1981) / int_d9ee7048 | comment |
Spin-Off: Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, a concurrently airing series which had Spider-Man team up with Iceman of the X-Men and an original character named Firestar (who later made it into the comics). In spite of a few minor discrepancies between the two series, it is generally believed to be in the same continuity. | |

The Scapegoat | |
| Spider-Man (1981) / int_dc8ba6d5 | comment |
The Scapegoat: "Arsenic and Aunt May" establishes that a lot of criminals know Spider-Man started fighting crime the night Ben Parker was killed by the unnamed burglar. As a result, that guy isn't very popular among those that Spidey sent to prison, but they also hate the Burglar's cousin just by association and will vent any frustration towards him. | |

Plot Allergy | |
| Spider-Man (1981) / int_e064dc5a | comment |
Plot Allergy: In "Lizards, Lizards Everywhere", Spider-Man has difficulty bringing down the Lizard because of sneezing fits. After he finally defeats the Lizard and consults a doctor, it turns out that the constant sneezing was because he was allergic to reptiles. | |

| Spider-Man (1981) / int_fb3576b2 | comment |
The Dog Bites Back: Red Skull forces Dr. Niemann to do his bidding despite the latter wanting to use his inventions for the good of humanity, all while insulting and threatening him. When Niemann gets a chance to render him harmless by separating his mind and his body, he jumps at the opportunity. | |

With Friends Like These... | |
| Spider-Man (1981) / int_fdbd6162 | comment |
With Friends Like These...: "The Doom Report" opens with a rebel leader escaping captivity. The man in charge of the site is an old friend of Doom's and profusely apologizes for this. Though acting conciliatory, Doom blasts the floor under the guy's feet to send him into the dungeon, saying he would've done worse if the guy wasn't an old friend. | |
