Some Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 fans have started pointing out that Peter Parker is missing as an AI companion in combat when the player is controlling Miles Morales. Spider-Man 2 gives gamers two crime-fighting Spider-heroes for the price of one, with Peter returning from the first game and Miles now a fully-fledged web-slinger following his starring role in the 2020 spin-off Spider-Man: Miles Morales.
Spider-Man 2 Fans Point Out Missed Opportunity With Brooklyn Map

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 contains several great Easter eggs, but one fan recently pointed out a missed opportunity to include a real-life tribute to one of Marvel’s greatest heroes. While Insomniac’s Spider-Man games are in a separate continuity from other recent Marvel titles like Marvel’s Avengers and Marvel’s Midnight Suns, they still feature clever nods to other famous heroes like Black Panther and Doctor Strange. While exploring the open world of New York City, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 players can visit the Wakanda Embassy and Avengers Tower — and can even pay their respects to late MCU actor Chadwick Boseman at the former.
Some of these hidden details have left Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 fans guessing about Insomniac’s future plans, with a Nelsen and Murdock sign in Hell’s Kitchen drawing theories about Daredevil appearing to lend a hand in either Spider-Man 2’s rumored story DLC or the eventual Spider-Man 3. Eagle-eyed players have also spotted references to The Fantastic Four and X-Men scattered about in Spider-Man 2, the latter of which helps set the stage for the upcoming Marvel’s Wolverine game that is set in Insomniac’s superhero universe.
However, there is one potentially cool Easter egg idea that Insomniac failed to capitalize on in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, as pointed out by Reddit user Kalb_157 on r/SpidermanPS4. They pointed out that Spider-Man 2 added Brooklyn to its open-world game map, yet didn’t include the real-life Captain America statue that was made in honor of the legendary Super Solider’s 75th anniversary in 2016. The 13-ft bronze sculpture was originally placed at the entrance of a Bed, Bath and Beyond in Sunset Park before being moved to various locations. It currently resides in Liberty View Industrial Plaza at 850 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn.
Having Brooklyn’s Captain America statue sitting somewhere in Spider-Man 2’s version of the borough could have been a great nod to the larger Marvel gaming universe, especially since both Miles Morales and Steve Rogers hail from Brooklyn in the comics. One user in the comments section of Kalb_157’s post believes that it was left out to avoid Insomniac having to design a version of a character that might not legally be able to appear in one of its Marvel games, as well as any speculation that Captain America might eventually show up despite this.
This isn’t to say that Captain Steve Rogers isn’t out fighting the good fight in the world of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, as it and its two predecessors have made several allusions to the Avengers in both its map and character description bios. In fact, Captain America was directly mentioned in Otto Octavius's in-game bio as someone who is already highly admired in the original Marvel’s Spider-Man. Sadly, Spider-Man

Spider-Man Blasters You Can Load Up With Web Fluid Are Now A Thing
I've been wishing I could be Spider-Man for as long as I can remember, but the closest I've come to replicating that fictional feeling is by swinging around New York as the web-slinger in Insomniac's Spidey games. The idea of actually being able to fire webs from my wrists was an unattainable goal since, well, radioactive spiders aren't a thing, and if they were, being bitten by one probably wouldn't result in the development of superpowers. Kids today won't need to rely on that impossibility as Hasbro has created real-life Web Blasters, no radioactive spider bite needed.
