Raimi occasionally appears on-screen in his own movies, usually in similar fashion to the cameos made by his idol Alfred Hitchcock: A silhouette behind a projection screen ( Spider-Man, in the wrestling scene ), a passer-by with some kind of physical interaction with the film's protagonist ( Spider-Man 2, as the student whose bookbag hits Peter Parker in the back of the head ), a hitchhiking fisherman accompanied by Robert Tapert in The Evil Dead.

Scenes from the documentary show that Raimi is the one throwing popcorn at Peter Parker during the walk to the wrestling ring in Spider-Man and tossing gold coins around during the bank robbery scene in Spider-Man 2.

At one point, Spider-Man teamed up with Ka-Zar to save Gwen Stacy from Kraven the Hunter and Gog at the time when her class and J. Jonah Jameson were visiting the Savage Land.

Spider-Man risks his life to fight super-powered criminals such as Mysterio and the Green Goblin ; however, New York Daily Bugle editor J. Jonah Jameson views him as a criminal, and continually writes front page headlines declaring him as such.

In Ultimate Spider-Man # 121, Jameson rejects her request to find out more about the disappearance of Nick Fury, alleging that a brief affair with Kraven the Hunter before his arrest proves that she is incapable of any reporting assignment beyond covering college fashion shows.
