Gwen Stacy

• Voice Actor: Lacey Chabert

Gwen is one of Peter Parker's best friends and an intellectual equal, not to mention harboring a crush on him. She is the daughter of Police Captain George Stacy and also gained an internship with Dr. Connors at Empire State.

In the episode "The Invisible Hand" Peter unintentionally lies to Gwen saying he is not going to the Fall Formal (school dance), but later finds himself courted by Mary Jane. At the formal, Gwen is silently hurt when seeing Peter and Mary Jane together, believing that he lied to her. Unknown to Peter, Gwen has a secret attraction to him. Although she died in the comics series, it is unknown at this time whether or not she will be kept alive for this series.

Harry Osborn

• Voice Actor: James Arnold Taylor

Harry is Peter's other best friend and son of ruthless industrialist Norman Osborn. He constantly lives in his father's shadow and considers Peter a good friend despite being much richer than him. Harry drops Peter as a friend after failing to tutor him twice, leading to his failure on the calculus test. However, when Norman gives Harry a lecture on self-responsibility, Harry reconsiders his decision. He apologizes and forgives Peter, and together, they try out for the football team to teach Flash a lesson. Harry then becomes a member of the football team. As a result of this, he has become significantly more popular, even going to the fall formal with Kenny Kong's ex-girlfriend, Glory Grant.

In the latest episode "Catalysts", it's shown that he has developed a hidden jealousy towards Peter, seen where Pete is showing off his date, Mary Jane to the popular clique. In this episode, he's also dumped by Glory at the dance who reunited with Kenny "King Kong" again. Curiously, this provokes him to take one of Oscorp's drugs from his locker, named "Globuin Green", out of anxiety. In the next scene, The Green Goblin appears, but given the widely different circumstances of the two characters; they are most likely not one in the same.

J. Jonah Jameson

• Voice Actor: Daran Norris

Jameson is the loudmouth, egotistical publisher of the Daily Bugle, New York's biggest newspaper. He considers children like Peter to be nothing more than a nuisance and considers pictures of Spider-Man to be of the utmost importance.

In spite of his apparent selfish demeanor, he's willing to protect Peter's life, when Rhino demands his appearance in the Daily Bugle.

Aunt May

• Voice Actor: Deborah Strang

May is Peter's aunt and widow of Ben Parker. She constantly worries about Peter's well-being (going so far as to establish a strict curfew) and works hard to pay the ever-growing stack of bills that keep coming. In two straight episodes, May has mentioned Mary Jane Watson, who eventually came on the show herself in The Invisible Hand.

Eddie Brock

• Voice Actor: Benjamin Diskin

Eddie is Peter Parker's childhood friend and the closest thing he's ever had to a brother. Eddie is slightly older than Peter and is a freshman at Empire State University, working with Dr. Curt Connors. Eddie and Peter's friendship is severed when Peter ditches the antidote plan for Dr. Connors to secretly assist as Spider-Man. Eddie has forgiven Peter, but says he needs some time. He later escorts Gwen to the Fall Formal. He's visibly ticked off when Peter later shows up at the dance with Mary Jane, believing he lied to Gwen about not going to the formal.

Mary Jane Watson

• Voice Actor: Vanessa Marshall

Mary Jane was first mentioned early on in the series by an enthusiastic Aunt May. However, as Aunt May believed her to have a "wonderful personality", Peter was naturally off-put. A running gag that had occured had Peter shuddering everytime he heard Mary Jane's name. Eventually, on the night of the Midtown fall formal, Peter (who had just been rejected by Betty), prepares himself for the utter worst. To his main surprise, he's stunned to find that Mary Jane is in fact, gorgeous. Peter, stricken with no words, and a dazed grin; Mary Jane pulls a sly smile and states the famous line: "Face, it Tiger, you just hit the jackpot!" At the formal, Mary Jane manages to both surprise and impress the popular clique(Flash in particular). Her flirty behavior is also emphasized when dancing with a visibly interested Randy Robertson and Hobie Brown. Despite Peter having to leave for The Bugle (while in reality, Spider-Man), Mary Jane graciously offers him a last dance, hinting that their new relationship will endure.
