Marvel's Spider-Man redefined its titular character's mythos in the video games, offering tribute to the web-slinger's rich legacy along with introducing an all-new storyline. Given the attention to detail that Insomniac Studios have paid to the game, it offers a variety of Easter Eggs and pop culture references that only dedicated fans would have picked up.

Other interesting details related to the best-selling PS4 title include behind-the-scenes details and related media like comic tie-ins. To put it in a nutshell, Marvel's Spider-Man offers plenty of fan service for both seasoned "Spidey-heads".

Pop Culture Locations Are Scattered All Over The Game

Apart from real-life locations, like New York's Empire State Building and Freedom Tower, the game also houses some interesting buildings from the Marvel pantheon, such as the Wakandan Embassy and the Avengers Tower.

Iron Fists's Rand Enterprises, the office of the construction company Damage Control, and the law offices of Foggy Nelson and Matt Murdock (Daredevil) also find their way into the game. If this wasn't enough, other iconic New York locations from pop culture can also be explored. These include the firehouse from Ghostbusters and the soup restaurant location from Seinfeld.

Doc Ock's Receding Hairline Was Modeled After The Voice Actor

To achieve a sense of realism, some of the characters in the game were modeled after the voice actors playing them. Otto Octavius aka Doctor Octopus is no exception as he was created in the likeness of William Salyers, the voice actor who plays him.

As Salyers has a receding hairline, the game decided to go along with such a look for Doctor Octopus. This runs in contrast with the bowl-shaped haircut that can be seen in Doctor Octopus comic arcs and depictions in animated shows.

A Spider-Fan Wanted To Propose To His Girlfriend Through The Game

In May 2018, Tyler Schulz, a self-professed fan of Spider-Man tweeted Insomniac Games about any possible way through which the game could sneak in a proposal message for his girlfriend Maddie.

Interestingly, the studio responded positively and a movie marquee reading "Maddie, will you marry me?" was included in the game. However, a few weeks before Spider-Man's September release, Schulz and Maddie revealed that they were no longer together, with developers asking considering to patch it out (according to Kotaku).

The French Voice Actor For Peter Parker Previously Voiced Him In The Films

Those who played the game in its French dub would notice a familiar voice behind the protagonist Peter Parker (aka Spider-Man). Donald Reignoux had previously dubbed for the character in the Andrew Garfield-led The Amazing Spider-Man movies.

His Marvel roles end here but when it comes to comic book adaptations, he has also voiced DC characters such as Lex Luthor in the French dubs of films within DC Extended Universe along with Green Arrow in Batman: The Brave and the Bold and Robin in Young Justice.

Morbius Appears Through An Indirect Name-Drop

The Devil's Breath is a medical serum that was intended to cure genetic disorders but was turned into a bio-weapon later on. When Oscorp experimented on Mister Negative as a child, he was used as a test subject for Devil's Breath.

What's interesting is that the scientist behind Devil's Breath creation is identified as Morgan Michaels, which was one of the aliases used by Michael Morbius (aka Morbius The Living Vampire) in the comics. However, whether Morbius actually exists in the game's universe, that is yet to be ascertained.

Spider-Geddon Introduces The Game's Spider-Man In The Comics

Die-hard fans of the game would even be aware of the multiple tie-ins that the PS4 title received. The Spider-Geddon comics, in particular, helped in incorporating the game's Spider-Man within the larger Marvel multiverse in comics.

The Spider-Man comic issue from the 2010s is a limited series and a sequel to Spider-Verse that deals with the possibilities of multiple Spider-Men appearing uniting to fight against the Inhibitors. Spider-Geddon #0 introduces the version of Peter Parker from the game, complete with the white spider on his chest. Christos N Gage, who also wrote the game, served as the writer behind this comic.

The Music Composer Has Scored Previous Marvel Projects

One of the most iconic aspects of the game was its atmospheric score that was composed by John Paesano. When it comes to his work for video games, he also composed Detroit Human Rising and more specifically, Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales.

But these weren't his first Marvel projects as Paesano was also the musical mind behind the Netflix MCU shows, Daredevil, and the miniseries The Defenders.

 

The Game Shares Two Voice Actors From Disney XD's Spider-Man

Following the end of Ultimate Spider-Man, the character's story was rebooted for yet another Spider-Man cartoon that was simply titled Spider-Man. Airing on Disney XD, the game's voice cast included Laura Bailey as Gwen Stacy and Yuri Lowenthal in various roles like Curt Connors/Lizard and Clayton Cole/Clash.

When it comes to the 2018 game, Lowenthal ended up bagging the lead role of Peter Parker (a role he reprised in Miles Morales) while Bailey was also featured as Mary Jane.

The Spider-Mobile Finds Its Way Through A Post-It Note

The introductory cutscene of the game gives players a glimpse of Peter's room. The interior is a chaotic mess with several photographs and newspaper clippings of Spider-Man's foes. On closer observation, fans can even read the Post-It notes scattered across the room.

One such note reads, "Spider-Mobile good idea, or great idea?". As tacky as it might sound, the Spider-Mobile has actually appeared in comics, starting with Amazing Spider-Man #126 in 1974. In the comics, Peter Parker and Johnny Storm (the Human Torch) built the red-and-blue car together. The Spider-Mobile wasn't as technologically advanced as other comic book vehicles like Batmobile and was used very rarely by the wall-crawler.
