  • Silver Sable — In the What If? storyline What If Spider-man had married the Black Cat?, after Black Cat is accidentally killed by the Paladin, Silver Sable and Spider-Man enter into a romantic relationship due to their shared grief over the loss of their loved ones; Uatu the Watcher leaves it ambiguous whether this relationship will work out or not. Incidentally, the 616 version of Sable recently displayed romantic interest towards Spider-man.
  • Emma Frost — In Marvel Adventures Spider-man, Emma reveals that she has a crush on Peter and tries to separate Chat and Spidey by erasing Chat's memory. On her own, she decides to pay for her crimes and get arrested, but returns to help Spidey, apparently, still holding a crush on Peter.

Whitney gave Spider-Man her camera and asks him to take photos exposing Oscorp's research. As explained in her bio, Chang grew up in the Sunset Park region of Brooklyn, New York, where she witnessed a neighbor being murdered by an angry mob after being framed for murder and being slandered by the news for days. After graduating from Yale, she quits her job as the host of a music video channel and snuck aboard a flight to Iraq, arriving just as American troops invade Baghdad.

Spider-Man saves Octavius and the symbiote's, as well as Kasady's, fates are unrevealed.
  • Talon (appeared in Spider-Man: The New Animated Series, voiced by Eve) — She is a villain created exclusively for the show. She bears many characteristics to the Black Cat. In her first and only appearance, "Keeping Secrets", she is behind a string of robberies, much to Spider-Man's dismay, who is a little concerned for her safety.

Sloan was revealed to be working with Doctor Octopus to alter reality, much to Octavius' dismay. After Anti-Venom was freed from mind control, he prepares to kill Sloan for mindwiping him. Instead, Anti-Venom, Sloan, and Octavius were pulled into an unstable portal, resulting in the creation of Atrocity.
  • Atrocity (appeared in Spider-Man: Edge of Time, with vocal effects provided by Fred Tatasciore) — Atrocity is a result of the violent fusion of Anti-Venom, Doctor Octopus, and Walker Sloan.
