Spiderman Vs Miraculous Ladybug

### (Marvel Comics Vs Miraculous: Tales Of Ladybug & Cat Noir)

* They are both just high school students who are trying to balance their civilian life with their superhero life.
* They both have to deal with school bullies (Flash and Chloe) who later become allies when their services are enlisted to fight the good fight (More so with Chloe).
* Many episodes or comic stories are dedicated to when they just cant handle two separate lives, and what happens because of it.
* They each get their secret identities released, and it causes massive destruction to them. Ladybug actually died and Paris (as well as pretty much the whole world and universe if Ladybug did not intervene.) is destroyed because the wrong people found out about her secret identity. Aunt May is hospitalized because Peter reveals his secret identity.
* Each gain back their secret through crazy means. Ladybug has to go into the future to stop Cat Blanc and then go backwards in time to prevent the reveal of her secret, finally returning to the present. Peter has to literally make a deal with the devil to save Aunt May and his secret and the expense of his relationship with Mary Jane.
* They are both really smart and at the top of their class. Peter is obviously known as the nerd of the class. I dont remember if there's anyone smarter than Peter in his class. Marinette, while not being the absolute smartest in her class, she has shown high amounts of intelligence. I would say it's fair to assume she's the second smartest in her class.
* They both have complicated love life. Marinette more so than Peter, but Peter has had like a hundred (not really) girlfriends.There is also the connection of them being able to "web swing".  Ladybug has a magical yoyo that lets her traverse Paris like Spiderman traverses New York. Her yoyo is indestructible too, so there's no way for Spiderman prevent mobility. Ladybug is probably not strong enough to break webs either. I dont really know how she can handle webs. She uses her yoyo to block energy blasts and projectiles.
* Thanks to Tiki, Marinette has super strength, speed, and endurance as Ladybug. Same as Spiderman except it's not because of a kwami.
* As previously mentioned, they have to deal with harsh bullies who will stop at nothing to humiliate them. However, funnily enough, Flash and Chloe are the biggest fans/supporters of Spiderman and Ladybug respectively. They have even dressed up as their heroes and tried to fight crime before getting way over their head and having to be rescued by Spiderman and Ladybug They go so far as being some of the only people who defend their heroes when they are wrongfully framed by supervillains. Flash and Chloe eventually get a chance to fight side by side with their hero when they get their own superpowers (Flash becomes Agent Venom, and Chloe becomes Queen Bee).
* There is a cool contrast in that Ladybug is a magical superhero, and Spiderman is a scientific superhero. As in, how they got their powers. Peter got his powers through a radioactive spider bite. Marinette got her powers through the magical kwamis.
* The most obvious connection is cool but doesn't really affect anything. They are both superheroes clad in red based off of invertebrates. Like I said, it's not big, but it is a nice aesthetic connection.
* They both have assembled and led teams of superheroes. Peter led different teams in the Ultimate Spiderman cartoon with the Web Warriors and the other teenage superheroes from the beginning of the show. There is also the whole Spiderverse debacle. Marinette has recruited many of her friends to fight along side her. Their teams have faced off against the big bad in an attempt to save their world (Spiderverse and Team Miraculous vs Scarlet Moth).
* They have both deal with enemies that can affect emotions (Hawkmoth, obviously; and Venom can affect its hosts mental stability and make them more savage and brutal). They both have had to deal with problems that occur when they fall under the influence of said opponents. Marinette has been akumatised, though only for a little bit. She also has avoided getting  akumatised a couple times other than that. Spiderman has obviously had to deal with being bonded to the symbiote.
* Their main villains are the dads of their close friends. Green Goblin/ Norman Osborn is Harry's father who doesn't really care about his son. He either just wants to use him as a pawn (such as when he manipulated him into bonding with the symbiote, or just plain forcing him to bond with it), or he just flat out does not care. He is more concerned about expanding his money, power and influence. He is also stinkin' rich. (Before you get all upset, the general consensus is that Green Goblin is Spiderman's main villain.) Hawkmoth/ Gabriel Agrest is Adrian's (Cat Noir) father. Gabriel contrasts to Norman because Gabriel does care about Adrian... a little too much. He shelters Adrian from everything and tries to keep his locked up and "safe" from the world. Gabriel isn't concerned with making tons of money; he just wants to bring his dead wife back to life. He may not be as rich as Norman, but Gabriel is still stinkin' rich. They both also run high end companies. Norman is into science and engineering while Gabriel is a fashion designer.
