Love Interests
- Liz Allan — Peter's first love interest, although they never get together. Liz instead marries Peter's friend, Harry Osborn.
- Betty Brant — Peter dates the Daily Bugle secretary, but they break up due to her blaming Spider-Man for the death of her brother. Betty Brant later marries Daily Bugle reporter Ned Leeds.
- Gwen Stacy — Peter's first real girlfriend, whom the Green Goblin kills by throwing her off a bridge. The 2004 storyline "Sins Past" has Gwen, pregnant by Norman Osborn, secretly giving birth to twins, who, told by Norman that Spider-Man had killed their mother, attempt to kill Spider-Man in revenge as adults. In House of M, Gwen is still alive and married to Peter.
- Debra Whitman — a fellow Empire State University student and secretary whom Peter dates for a period of time, though his frequent disappearances complicate their relationship. Debra lacks self-confidence and their relationship is rather one-sided; Peter has little interest in her. She is eventually diagnosed with mild schizophrenia, ironically exacerbated by her "delusional" belief that Peter is Spider-Man. With Peter's help, she overcomes that idea. Soon afterward, she leaves New York after another man, Biff Rifkin, confesses his feelings for her.
- Marcy Kane — another Empire State University graduate student who Peter dates briefly. Prior to dating Peter, she was the lover of the Jack of Hearts. Kane is later revealed to be an alien (Contraxian) who is on Earth looking for solutions to her homeworld's problems.
- Felicia Hardy, a.k.a. Black Cat — The relationship between Spider-Man and Black Cat is short lived-after Spider-Man learns that Felicia Hardy is only interested in him as Spider-Man and not Peter Parker.
- Sarah Rushman — Peter dates Sarah during a time when he believes Mary Jane to be dead; however, she turns out to be the S.H.I.E.L.D.-brainwashed mutant Marrow.
Ben Reilly's Love Interests
- Elisabeth Tyne, aka Janine Godbe — met Ben and lived with him for several months during his "lost years," until they were separated by Kaine. They reunited after he became Spider-Man, but were separated again when she turned herself in for her abusive father's murder.
- Jessica Carradine — photographer, daughter of the burglar who killed Uncle Ben.
- Desiree Winthrop — a wealthy young woman with limited psychic powers, of which she was unaware.
