It's probably grasping at straws, likely just the way military code works, or may even have been foreshadowing of Miles getting powers at the end of the game, but Sable International frequently refer to Spider Man as SM-1. SM obviously means Spider Man, which raises questions about the '1'. Now again it could just be how military code works, but it's equally possible that they numbered things because there are already other Spiders out there; Ben and Kaine.

[[WMG: Kraven is the one who hired Task Master]]
As seen in the trailer for the sequel, one of the main villains of the game will be Kraven. Its possible that he hired Task Master to assess Spider-Man's abilities and see if he's a worthy prey.

[[folder:The Sequel (unmarked spoilers ahead)]]

[[WMG: Harry won't become Venom]]
* Eddie Brock is too well-known and liked for him to be omitted from the game without any backlash. Instead, Harry will be a lesser-known Symbiote user, like Toxin (which is fitting considering his condition) or a new identity altogether. His character arc will involve him being a vigilante who lets the Symbiote control him into brutally killing criminals. Once Peter makes him come to his senses, Harry will discard the Symbiote and it will end up on Eddie.
** However, Harry's rejection of the Symbiote means he will succumb to his illness and die. Norman will blame Spider-Man for this and go on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge as the Green Goblin.
** As an addendum: once Eddie goes through the inevitable TraumaCongaLine that costs him [[WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries his job, his reputation, his health, his apartment...]] he immediately blames Spider-Man for it, and thus he crosses paths with Green Goblin and explains that he too is going after Spidey and that he knows his SecretIdentity. Cue the BigBadDuumvirate. Or, if they both share the belief that [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou only they alone can destroy Spider-Man]], [[BigBadEnsemble things could]] [[EvilVersusEvil easily go south.]]
** If they planned on Eddie becoming Venom in this universe, they would have introduced him in the first game. Some of the dynamics of Eddie- him being best friends with Peter, etc.- are adapted into Harry in this universe. As far as the character being too popular- Doctor Octopus is best known as Otto Octavius, but that didn’t keep Into the Spider-Verse from mixing things up. Besides the original was the 2nd highest selling [=PS4=] game of all time, it’s not like they need the clout.
*** I'm fairly sure Eddie was one of the signatures on the Card Peter got when he left the Bugle (one of the Backpack relics). Not an actual appearance, but it references his existence, much like the backpacks reference Lizard, Mysterio and Sandman.


[[WMG: There will be a series of side-missions involving Cletus Kasady pre-Carnage]]
* It'll be like the Hush sidequest in ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity,'' where Peter finds a few dead bodies and has to figure out where the killer is. The sidequest will end with the implication that he will become Carnage in a later installment.

[[WMG: Gwen Stacy will have a supporting role]]
* It'll build up to her becoming Spider-Gwen in the third installment.
** Or alternatively, Venom's presumed role in the sequel will allow them to set up Carnage-Gwen like in the Ultimate comics.
* She'll be a worker at Connors Labs with Eddie Brock, like in the ''Spectacular Spider-Man'' cartoon.

[[WMG: Venom's identity will be subject to some Telltale-style player's-choice-dependant determinism]]
* Either Harry or Eddie will be a possible Venom, depending on what choices the players makes. Perhaps whoever winds up symbioteless winds up dipping into Goblin serum instead.
** The deciding choice will be picking between working on a cure for Harry or helping Eddie get out of a dangerous situation: Developing a cure will mean that Harry won't have to rely on the symbiote for treatment, but leaving Eddie to fend for himself would alienate him towards Peter and/or Spider-Man and the symbiote will hate Peter for separating it from Harry, causing it to seek out Eddie. Helping out Eddie will cause him to keep a positive view of Peter/Spidey, but Harry will remain dependent on the symbiote and it's influence will eventually corrupt him into becoming Venom.

[[WMG: Ned Leeds will be introduced, based on his reasonably-popular ''Homecoming'' incarnation]]
* And, like in the comics, he will be hinted to be Hobgoblin (or equivalent Goblin-character), but this will be a RedHerring. And, yes, it would be a bit odd for a supposed good friend of Peter's not to get any mention throughout the first game, but [[RememberTheNewGuy there's a trope for that]].
** It'd be hard to assume that he's the Hobgoblin if we're going for the Ganke {{Expy}} from ''Homecoming.''
*** He gets a bit older, starts using Goblin serum. I can see it.

[[WMG: The Sinister Six members in the next game]]
* After they failed him the last time, Doc Ock (if not led by anybody else) will look for new villains in the Sinister Six to help him. Possible candidates include:
** Doctor Octopus: He'll be the RedHerring for the real BigBad of the game.
** The Lizard: Curt Connors will start involuntarily transforming into the Lizard, so Doc Ock offers to help him find a cure. He will be a reverse GetBackHereBoss where as the Lizard, he uses his keen sense of smell to track Peter down and he has to lead him to a trap.
** Kraven the Hunter: He will be a bounty hunter he hires. His missions will play similarly to the Deadshot sidequest from ''Arkham City'' where he keeps attempting to shoot Peter, and he has to figure out his pattern.
** Mysterio: Doc Ock uses his illusions to help him break out of prison. He will be Scorpion's replacement for the nightmare level.
** Chameleon: He uses his ability to hide in crowds, and Peter has to figure out the right one.
** Venom and/or the Green Goblin: With the SequelHook, they're inevitable.
** Another potential candidate is the Sandman, who could conceivably somehow escape the vial Peter has him trapped in. He'd join the Six to get revenge on Spider-Man for imprisoning him for so long and for keeping him away from his family.
** Hammerhead: After having his plans to completely take over the Maggia and eventually the City thwarted by Spiderman[[spoiler: despite essentially turning himself in a cyborg that can be [[DeathIsCheap brought back from the dead]] with just a high enough electrical voltage to jumpstart him]], he would be laying low until Doc Ock comes to recruit him and his faction if only to provide the Six with disposable mooks like Li did with the Demons. Of course, Hammerhead will refuse at first, but is ultimately kowtowed when the other five completely trounce the gangsters Hammerhead brought and he himself becomes outnumbered 5 to 1, with Doc Ock then threatening [[spoiler:to completely disable the resurrection effect on Hammerhead's suit and killing him off permanently]]. Considering the fact that was perfectly capable of fulfilling his side of the bargain with members of the previous Six, which includes possibly ''CURING CANCER'', Hammerhead is not willing to risk going against the scientist.
** Aaron Davis/The Prowler: With Miles starting his superhero career, it would make sense to pit him against his criminal uncle.
** Lady Octopus: A person with a connection to Octavius who believes hes right and comes a counterpart to Peter as a friend who follows him down into villainy.
** Screwball: Last minute choice as a person who can distract Spider-Man and the cops.
** [[spoiler: Yuri Watanabe/Wraith]]: [[spoiler: Having fully become Wraith, she'll join the Six under the pretense of wanting to remove people like Norman Osborn from power, but is actually planning on foiling the villains' plan from the inside before executing them all, thereby proving to Spider-Man that her methods are superior to his....unfortunately, Otto will be fully aware of her intentions and will use her to distract Spider-Man for him while he accomplishes his goals, at which point [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness he'll discard her.]]]]

[[WMG: Other superheroes will make a cameo in the next game]]
* Since places such as the Avengers Tower, Sanctum Sanctorum, Wakanda Embassy, and Alias Investigations existed as landmarks in those games, that means the heroes associated with these places might show up as well. They might do it like in those classic [=PS1=] games where other supers appear for a moment as cameos to help support Spidey from time to time, but the main focus will be on Spidey himself. Plus, with everything that's going on in New York in this game, those other heroes just can't simply ignore it and may take a more active role in keeping the peace. My guess as to which heroes will show up is: Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Man, and possibly Nick Fury and SHIELD.

[[WMG: One of the plotlines in the sequel will be about Richard and Mary Parker]]
* Maybe Insomniac will take the idea that Richard and Mary Parker are government or SHIELD agents and run with it. Maybe the reason for their untimely deaths can be traced back to Norman Osborn and his secret projects.

[[WMG: Toad will appear in a sequel, and be changed into a woman]]
* Toad from the X-Men comics will appear in the next game and be gender-bent. She’ll be a one-time villains

[[WMG: Taskmaster will become the “Riddler” of this universe]]
* More specifically, in a sequel he’ll always be hired under somebody’s guise laying out challenges for Spidey among other things.

[[WMG: The Brotherhood of Mutants will make an appearance]]

[[WMG: Taskmaster was hired by SHIELD]]
* It would make sense since Spider-Man would only work for a “Good” organization and any employers would be quick to realize this. Though SHIELD may be an “End justifies the means” type of group in this universe. Also in the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon Spidey did work for SHIELD for a considerable amount of time.

[[WMG: Richard Fisk, AKA The Rose, will appear in the sequel to take over his father's domains for himself.]]

[[WMG: Peter will gain new employment as a teacher for Midtown High or working at Horizon Labs with Max Modell]]

[[WMG: A future game will adapt the Superior Spider-Man storyline]]
* It wouldn't be too much of a stretch for Otto to figure out how to use the neural interface to pull a body swap with Peter before the disease renders him paralyzed. It could possibly serve as a kind of Redemption Arc for this version of Otto.
* I doubt it would lead to a redemption arc, the comics found it hard enough to get people to accept Otto, how do we expect them to push a game where you play a former bio-terrorist who stole the body of a hero we have loved for a long time, presumably murdering him. The fact is that while some people have grown to like the story some, like myself, still despise it, and it would be a major risk, like them trying to use the Clone Saga for a plot line.

[[WMG: The sequel will feature a co-op mode]]

Namely, Peter and Miles.

[[WMG: Flash Thompson will be in the second game.]]
* Though not in person, but as the host of his own podcast show that works to build up support for Spider-Man (harkening back to his old role as a Spidey fanboy) in direct opposition to JJJ's efforts. They'll have a fierce rivalry, with the two often responding to each other's broadcasts and having heated debates, though Jonah will try to be respectful towards Flash since he's a veteran--but only just barely.

[[WMG: Curt Connors' laboratory will become an important location]]
* With Otto out of the picture, that's where you'll go to do your little science-related minigames. Oh, and some plot stuff might happen there too.

[[WMG: Peter will replace the Advanced Suit.]]
* Peter won't want to wear something that reminds him of what happened to Otto, so he'll craft a entirely new suit and wear it as his primary costume. The Advanced Suit will still be available though, as an unlockable suit.
[[WMG: Mary Jane will wind up getting Spider powers.]]
* Given the disappointment over the BaitAndSwitch used to give Miles his powers and the feel that they TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot of giving MJ powers they may give her powers in the sequel. There are actually a few ways they can do this.
** The obvious is that she encounters another Spider, that is more inclined to bite her. They could try that, though it would risk claims of being derivative and recycling the plot for a third time (Peter was bit as some point as well)
** She could find a suit able to replicate Peter's powers, similar to the suit she wears in Renew Your Vows.
** Or if Harry as Venom (or another symbiote) is a key part of the second game, MJ could get a symbiote, again homaging the story in Revew Your Vows, as well as her role in the last few episodes of the Ultimate Spider Man cartoon, which her reporting job already homages.
* Furthermore giving MJ spider powers would allow Spider Gwen, Jessica Drew, Maday and other popular female spiders to be given roles in the game as costumes, Like Ben, Kaine and Miguel have such a role for Peter without the massive GameplayStorySegregation putting those costumes onto the [[WholesomeCrossdresser male Peter]] would cause.

[[WMG:[[MetaphoricallyTrue Black Cat does have a son, and he is Peter's]] ]]
To explain further, in the sequel Spiderman will meet up with Black Cat again, but instead of her living it up in the lap of luxury, it will turn out she is merely living on a modest upper middle class in the middle of nowhere, on purposely keeping to herself. Black Cat does confirm that she actually ''has'' a son, but ''heavily'' stresses that the kid is actually adopted. Despite being his son, only technically. Before Peter can ask further, her son reveals himself.....and he's actually this universe's version of '''''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppelganger_(comics) the Doppleganger!]]''''' Black Cat further explains that after she and Peter broke up both professionally and romantically, Black Cat did go straight for a while, but then became press ganged by S.H.I.E.L.D. to rob the headquarters of AIM to find evidence that would put away the organization forever. Black Cat discovers that AIM had been attempting to create artificially grown super soldiers, with the base of these soldiers taken from Norman Osborn's research on Spider-man's powers. The only successful result was the Doppleganger, a horrifically mutated clone of Peter Parker that barely looks like the original with the intelligence of a five year old. Feeling pity for this creatures and having intense maternal instincts flair up, Black Cat decided to steal the Doppleganger along with the evidence she collected. SHIELD wanted the creature destroyed, but Black Cat refuse to let them, so the thief was sent to steal the flash drives containing the Maggia's collective bank accounts as a compromise, with the loot being split 50/50 between SHIELD and herself, which was still enough to make her filthy rich. She decided to spend the rest of her life living in solitude and raising her clone child, her antagonism towards Spidey during the first DLC her attempt to try and push him away in order to completely do away with her past.

Of course, there is a reason for Spiderman trying to find Black Cat again, and she's forced to come out of retirement to help out. She will also have an added BerserkButton that is pressed [[ItIsDehumanizing whenever someone refers to the Dopplegangar as "it" and/or "that".]]

[[WMG: The group that hired Taskmaster to vet Spidey is...]]
A.I.M. They're confirmed to exist in this 'verse (check the labels on the boxes in Otto's lab after he gets 'alternative funding'), and they're defiantly the sort of group Taskmaster would associate with. It also makes sense why they would want Web-Head to work for them since a) his skills, equipment, and abilities would make him on Hell of an operative, and b) as a group of {{MadScientist}}s, they'd be champing at the bit to study him with the intent to replicate his powers.

[[WMG: Miles' suit, if he dons one, will have an original design and not be the one used in the comics.]]
Because why not, since Peter got one.

[[WMG: Possible suits that were not included in the first game:]]
* Amazing Spider-Man 1 and 2 suits
* Spider-Man 3 Black Suit
* Comic Book Black Suit
* Raimi Wrestling Suit
* [=TASM=] 1 Vigilante Suit
* Superior Spider-Man Suit
* Japanese Spider-Man Suit (Toei)
* Far From Home Suit (Possibly called Stark Suit Mk. II or something along those lines)
** Jossed; it was included in the original game as "Upgraded Suit".
* Spider-Man Unlimited Suit
* Captain Universe
* Sensational (Ben Reilly)
* Spider-Carnage
* Ricochet, Hornet, Dusk, and Prodigy
* Arachnoman
* Into The Spider-verse version of Noir with hat and trenchcoat (alongside the original Noir suit).
* if Miles is playable, he could have his own set of suits, like the Halloween costume from ''Into the Spider-Verse'' (with or without cape)
* Spider-Gwen

[[WMG: There will be a spin-off game that deals with the civil war in Symkaria]]
The civil war in Symkaria gets a lot of focus in ''Silver Lining'' that it's just impossible to leave it hanging. While Spider-Man stays in New York, MJ goes to Symkaria to cover the story. This entertains a possibility that Insomniac might be developing a new superhero game set in Symkaria, but it may star other superheroes instead. MJ will show up as a news reporter, though, and there will be references made about events happened in this game. Also, if this takes place internationally, then SHIELD might appear and play a big role as well.

[[WMG: The Punisher will be in the sequel.]]
But it won't be Frank Castle. [[spoiler: Yuri will become The Punisher as opposed to Wraith.]]
** Very unlikely. The Punisher mantle is so closely associated with Frank Castle in the comics that Insomniac won't risk alienating the fanbase by having someone else wearing the skull.

[[WMG:Jameson will run for Mayor.]]
Considering his outrage over Norman Osborn turning NYC into a PoliceState, J. Jonah Jameson will seek to dethrone him from his current position as Mayor.

[[WMG:Doc Ock will try to switch bodies with Spider-Man]]
and become [[ComicBook/SuperiorSpiderMan Superior]] by beating a new Sinister Six (that he created)and will end up a BossBattle for Miles.

[[WMG: Peter, Miles, and Mary-Jane will meet [[ComicBook/TheCloneSaga Peter's clones]]]]
both bad and good.

[[WMG: Peter will get the Black Suit for a certain portion of the game]]
After he discards it and it latches on to whomever becomes Venom, the boss battle will have the computer use the player's most frequent combat strategies against them.

[[WMG: Prowler will be a villain]]
Assuming the next game will focus on Miles becoming his own version of Spider-Man, he'll eventually have to deal with his Uncle Aaron AKA The Prowler, who be TheDragon to the main villain.

[[WMG: Peter will get a job, or get an interview, at Horizon Labs]]

[[WMG: Venom is going to be the second-to-last boss (or at least the ClimaxBoss) while Green Goblin takes the position as FinalBoss.]]
Putting aside that it's been a long time since Goblin got to be the final boss in a Spider-Man game, nothing spells "climatic" like Spidey having to face off against two of his greatest nemeses back-to-back.

[[WMG: Venom won't just be bonded to one host...but ''three.'']]
TheStinger does show the symbiote, but what if it may not be the whole thing? It would certainly be enough to keep Harry under life support, but not enough to turn him into Venom right away (keywords). The other two portions will end up going to Peter and Eddie. After Norman had taken the symbiote in, he could only keep one third of it as the rest of it fled his lab - one part goes to Peter at one point, creating the iconic black suited Spider-Man; and shortly after his reputation tanks, Eddie gets the other part. Once Peter and Harry come across each other, the latter will go into full-on Venom mode, which could resemble ''ComicBook/UltimateMarvel'''s interpretation of him. Upon defeating him, the symbiotically influenced Spidey will rip the symbiote from Harry's body and seemingly dispose of it somehow, killing him horribly. Right after, Spidey realizes [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone what he just did]] and tears his part of the symbiote off...Eddie will recollect the other two parts of the symbiote to make it whole, and ''fully'' become Venom, looking much closer to the traditional/mainstream Venom design than Harry. Of course, since he is now Venom, Eddie bears full knowledge of Spider-Man, his identity, his secrets, everything as per tradition...and the fact that he murdered Harry. Which will be ''the perfect evidence'' to slander the spider and get his vengeance upon him once and for all: ''and'' earn Norman's trust, who will no doubt become the Green Goblin once hearing about his son's death.

[[WMG: Peter and Miles will continue to work at FEAST]]
If we assume that FEAST survives the events of the game it'd make sense for Peter and Miles to continue working there for 2 reasons:
* Reason number 1: It would be out of character for Peter, the hero who embodies responsibility and helping the little guy, to abandon people who he's helping.
* Reason number 2: It would be a good way to honor May, to continue her work.
Connecting to this...

[[WMG: Tony Stark will be revealed to have started bankrolling FEAST]]
Presumably Martin Li's assets have been seized, and even if they haven't, anyone still in charge would be unlikely to keep using the terrorist's money for fear of backlash. However FEAST still needs money so presumably it would need help from some Philanthropists. It would be a decent way to introduce Tony, and by extension the Avengers into Peter's world without them appearing as heroes and potentially overshadowing Spidey.

[[WMG: Spider Bot will be a deployable gadget players can use at any time for reconnaissance]]
The frequent use of Spider Bot in ''The City that Never Sleeps'' suggests that Peter has managed to make them regular use, so in the sequel perhaps they will be usable in a similar way to the RC Car from the ''VideoGame/WatchDogs'' DLC ''Bad Blood'', or the Jumper from ''VideoGame/WatchDogs2'', or possibly the Quadcopter if the Spider Bot can fly like it's MCU counterpart or the combat Gadget Spider Drone.

[[WMG: Peter will have the Hacking app in the sequel]]
With Miles as Peter's protege, there is no way that he wouldn't eventually bring up the hacking app to Peter, and it'd then make sense for Peter to implement the app into his Spidey Gadgets. It's also possible that MJ would begin using it, assuming her stealth segments return, while them ''not'' having Miles use it as Kid Arachnid (or whatever he goes by) would just not make sense.

[[WMG: The Goblin Serum will be developed as a cure for Harry's illness]]
One of the effects of Harry's disease is that it makes him physically weak, so Norman brews up the Serum so that it'll at least allow Harry to leave his life support chamber. To test how safe it is, Norman uses it on himself, and it is soon revealed that the Serum has the unfortunate side-effect of making him more violent and aggressive, ultimately causing him to become the Green Goblin.

[[WMG:Gwen Stacy will appear in the sequel]]
* But she'll be a teenager. Instead of the usual Peter, MJ, Gwen love triangle, Gwen is introduced as Miles' love interest similarly to Into The Spider-Verse. She may or may not get powers.
* Her plotline will be similar to Miles' from the first game leading to her gaining Spider powers of her own and then her own spin-off game, perhaps to not be a straight repeat of Miles' character arc she could gain her powers early on and take up the Ghost-Spider identity in time for the Climax.

[[WMG: The sequel will expand combat to aerial and wall-crawling battles, like in [[VideoGame/SpiderManWebOfShadows Spider-Man: Web of Shadows]]]]
With both the aerial superiority of the Green Goblin and Venom's augmented Spider-abilities, it stands to reason that Spidey has to be even more adaptable than he already is, all in order to combat foes that can match him on any terrain, whether it's when he's web-swinging or wall-crawling. Insomniac clearly took a lot from many other Spider-Man games, especially from the oft-revered [[VideoGame/SpiderMan2 PIZZA TIME]], but let's not forget that the handy Web-Strike mechanic originated from the 2008 game, Web of Shadows. Its main draw was being able to switch from the Classic Red suit to the Venom Black Suit in a symbiote-infested New York, but a lot of people don't seem to recall just how innovative and unique its combat system was. In WOS, Spidey has a HUGE amount of combat abilities and special movies not only on the ground, but WHILE HE'S WEB-SWINGING or FIGHTING ON THE WALLS. Sure it was a little clunky at times, but being able to fight seamlessly between the ground, air, and walls (with a FULL MOVESET for EACH TERRAIN) is an incredible mechanic that I'm honestly shocked no other Spider-Man game has tried to do, including this one. It would be a natural evolution for Insomniac's mission to bring the best possible Spider-Man experience, by perfecting mechanics introduced in previous games and elevating them to a truly amazing experience. It also makes some amount of sense from a story standpoint; should Norman become the Goblin or Harry/Brock/Gargan/Aunt May's corpse/Miles become Venom. Norman would hire his own PMC group of glider-riding Goblin wannabes (like the Kingpin flying thugs in WOS) and Venom could spawn symbiote enemies that chase Peter down on the walls.

[[WMG:Silver Sable and Black Cat will remain villains in the sequel]]
Sable makes it clear she doesn't see herself as a hero in ''Silver Lining''. She might teach the audience that working with a hero doesn't automatically make her a good guy. She might be committing war crimes in Symkaria, or simply fighting a retaliatory civil war with the intent of becoming a dictator. She is still a mercenary and may be at odds with Spider-Man again. As for Black Cat she's still a criminal [[spoiler:that lied about having a son with Spider-Man simply to steal money from Hammerhead]] and only sided with him and Spider-Man for her and their mutual benefit.

[[WMG: Spider-Man and the police will be on worse terms.]]
With [[spoiler: Yuri having become Wraith]], Spider-man has lost his main liason with the police and his relationship with them will deteoriate, with the cops becoming a lot more suspicious of Spidey. Eventually, they'll completely turn on Spider-Man and there'll some missions where the cops will be gunning for him.

[[WMG: Harry:]]
* Will wind up being the anti-Doc Octopus storyline-wise. He’ll start off as a monster- or will become one by the end of Act I- but Peter will be able to reach him and bring him back to the light. It’ll be a redemption of sorts for Peter who partially blames himself for not being able to save Octavius.
* Will become a vigilante. There’s a line in his journal from the first game- “little bit of bad to do a lot of good”- that’s just so on the nose, it’s impossible to not read it as foreshadowing. Whether or not it’s as Venom/Anti-Venom/Hobgoblin/whatever, he’ll end the game as an antihero vigilante. He might even wind up targeting Norman, depending on how he reacts to the news about Devil’s Breath- this version of Harry is much more of a humanitarian and will likely be horrified that what was an attempt to cure him led to the deaths of thousands of people, including Aunt May, who Harry was presumably close to.
* Is gay. This one is kind of reaching but it fits. Besides representation, this version of Harry has some tropes associated with being gay- he’s really close to his mom (let’s be honest, calling her “the prettiest mom at midtown” is freaking Norman Bates-level weird if he’s straight), he’s distant with his dad (Norman being at least mildly homophobic could explain why he prefers Peter if that character dynamic exists in this universe- the usual reason, that Harry’s a slacker or depends on Pete, doesn’t fit in this narrative) and he’s much more mature/arguably slightly more feminine than usual. Plus- the past few iterations of Harry have had been the source of an ocean of Ho Yay, so making him canonically gay would be the next logical step.

[[WMG: The regular employees and residents of F.E.A.S.T will be revealed to [[SecretSecretKeeper know Peter is Spider Man]]]]
There is a moment, when Peter breaks into Lee's office where he openly web zips into a ceiling vent. Coupled with him being treated at the shelter after Otto kidnaps Norman, Spidey asking about May while in costume, the climax of the game, including Peter unmasking for May, it makes sense that at least some of the regular residents and employees of F.E.A.S.T will have figured out that Peter is Spidey [[spoiler:particularly after Gloria became one of the people to see Miles unmasked in the climax of ''VideoGame/SpiderManMilesMorales''.]]


Why not say anything? There are several reasons.
1: Out of respect for May's memory.
2: Peter himself seemed to be a well liked volunteer.
3: We know Spidey personally saved Gloria and helped Howard with the pigeons, the implication is that he may have helped a lot of them.

This could lead to a moment similar to ''Spider Man 2'' where F.E.A.S.T rallies to protect Peter from a villain, or alternatively a moment where a villain turns the city against Peter and the people of F.E.A.S.T give him a group pep talk the strength to get back in the fight.

[[WMG:Potential tie-ins with ''Marvel's Wolverine'']]
With the announcement that Wolverine is getting his own game, there are a few ways for ''Marvel's Spider-Man 2'' to foreshadow the events of this game:
* X-Men specific villains like Toad as minibosses (see above).
* A casual reference or two to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters and/or Wolverine.
* A sidequest involving mutants.
[[/folder]]

to:

* Maybe in a Deadpool or other X-Men related game Spider-Man will appear, and Deadpool will make a joke about the fact he's only on [=PlayStation=] in the Xbox and [=PC=] versions. Bonus points if the game is a [=PC=] or Xbox exclusive.

[[folder:The Sequel (unmarked spoilers ahead)]]

[[WMG: Harry won't become Venom]]
* Eddie Brock is too well-known and liked for him to be omitted from the game without any backlash. Instead, Harry will be a lesser-known Symbiote user, like Toxin (which is fitting considering his condition) or a new identity altogether. His character arc will involve him being a vigilante who lets the Symbiote control him into brutally killing criminals. Once Peter makes him come to his senses, Harry will discard the Symbiote and it will end up on Eddie.
** However, Harry's rejection of the Symbiote means he will succumb to his illness and die. Norman will blame Spider-Man for this and go on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge as the Green Goblin.
** As an addendum: once Eddie goes through the inevitable TraumaCongaLine that costs him [[WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries his job, his reputation, his health, his apartment...]] he immediately blames Spider-Man for it, and thus he crosses paths with Green Goblin and explains that he too is going after Spidey and that he knows his SecretIdentity. Cue the BigBadDuumvirate. Or, if they both share the belief that [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou only they alone can destroy Spider-Man]], [[BigBadEnsemble things could]] [[EvilVersusEvil easily go south.]]
** If they planned on Eddie becoming Venom in this universe, they would have introduced him in the first game. Some of the dynamics of Eddie- him being best friends with Peter, etc.- are adapted into Harry in this universe. As far as the character being too popular- Doctor Octopus is best known as Otto Octavius, but that didn’t keep Into the Spider-Verse from mixing things up. Besides the original was the 2nd highest selling [=PS4=] game of all time, it’s not like they need the clout.
*** I'm fairly sure Eddie was one of the signatures on the Card Peter got when he left the Bugle (one of the Backpack relics). Not an actual appearance, but it references his existence, much like the backpacks reference Lizard, Mysterio and Sandman.


[[WMG: There will be a series of side-missions involving Cletus Kasady pre-Carnage]]
* It'll be like the Hush sidequest in ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity,'' where Peter finds a few dead bodies and has to figure out where the killer is. The sidequest will end with the implication that he will become Carnage in a later installment.

[[WMG: Gwen Stacy will have a supporting role]]
* It'll build up to her becoming Spider-Gwen in the third installment.
** Or alternatively, Venom's presumed role in the sequel will allow them to set up Carnage-Gwen like in the Ultimate comics.
* She'll be a worker at Connors Labs with Eddie Brock, like in the ''Spectacular Spider-Man'' cartoon.

[[WMG: Venom's identity will be subject to some Telltale-style player's-choice-dependant determinism]]
* Either Harry or Eddie will be a possible Venom, depending on what choices the players makes. Perhaps whoever winds up symbioteless winds up dipping into Goblin serum instead.
** The deciding choice will be picking between working on a cure for Harry or helping Eddie get out of a dangerous situation: Developing a cure will mean that Harry won't have to rely on the symbiote for treatment, but leaving Eddie to fend for himself would alienate him towards Peter and/or Spider-Man and the symbiote will hate Peter for separating it from Harry, causing it to seek out Eddie. Helping out Eddie will cause him to keep a positive view of Peter/Spidey, but Harry will remain dependent on the symbiote and it's influence will eventually corrupt him into becoming Venom.

[[WMG: Ned Leeds will be introduced, based on his reasonably-popular ''Homecoming'' incarnation]]
* And, like in the comics, he will be hinted to be Hobgoblin (or equivalent Goblin-character), but this will be a RedHerring. And, yes, it would be a bit odd for a supposed good friend of Peter's not to get any mention throughout the first game, but [[RememberTheNewGuy there's a trope for that]].
** It'd be hard to assume that he's the Hobgoblin if we're going for the Ganke {{Expy}} from ''Homecoming.''
*** He gets a bit older, starts using Goblin serum. I can see it.

[[WMG: The Sinister Six members in the next game]]
* After they failed him the last time, Doc Ock (if not led by anybody else) will look for new villains in the Sinister Six to help him. Possible candidates include:
** Doctor Octopus: He'll be the RedHerring for the real BigBad of the game.
** The Lizard: Curt Connors will start involuntarily transforming into the Lizard, so Doc Ock offers to help him find a cure. He will be a reverse GetBackHereBoss where as the Lizard, he uses his keen sense of smell to track Peter down and he has to lead him to a trap.
** Kraven the Hunter: He will be a bounty hunter he hires. His missions will play similarly to the Deadshot sidequest from ''Arkham City'' where he keeps attempting to shoot Peter, and he has to figure out his pattern.
** Mysterio: Doc Ock uses his illusions to help him break out of prison. He will be Scorpion's replacement for the nightmare level.
** Chameleon: He uses his ability to hide in crowds, and Peter has to figure out the right one.
** Venom and/or the Green Goblin: With the SequelHook, they're inevitable.
** Another potential candidate is the Sandman, who could conceivably somehow escape the vial Peter has him trapped in. He'd join the Six to get revenge on Spider-Man for imprisoning him for so long and for keeping him away from his family.
** Hammerhead: After having his plans to completely take over the Maggia and eventually the City thwarted by Spiderman[[spoiler: despite essentially turning himself in a cyborg that can be [[DeathIsCheap brought back from the dead]] with just a high enough electrical voltage to jumpstart him]], he would be laying low until Doc Ock comes to recruit him and his faction if only to provide the Six with disposable mooks like Li did with the Demons. Of course, Hammerhead will refuse at first, but is ultimately kowtowed when the other five completely trounce the gangsters Hammerhead brought and he himself becomes outnumbered 5 to 1, with Doc Ock then threatening [[spoiler:to completely disable the resurrection effect on Hammerhead's suit and killing him off permanently]]. Considering the fact that was perfectly capable of fulfilling his side of the bargain with members of the previous Six, which includes possibly ''CURING CANCER'', Hammerhead is not willing to risk going against the scientist.
** Aaron Davis/The Prowler: With Miles starting his superhero career, it would make sense to pit him against his criminal uncle.
** Lady Octopus: A person with a connection to Octavius who believes hes right and comes a counterpart to Peter as a friend who follows him down into villainy.
** Screwball: Last minute choice as a person who can distract Spider-Man and the cops.
** [[spoiler: Yuri Watanabe/Wraith]]: [[spoiler: Having fully become Wraith, she'll join the Six under the pretense of wanting to remove people like Norman Osborn from power, but is actually planning on foiling the villains' plan from the inside before executing them all, thereby proving to Spider-Man that her methods are superior to his....unfortunately, Otto will be fully aware of her intentions and will use her to distract Spider-Man for him while he accomplishes his goals, at which point [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness he'll discard her.]]]]

[[WMG: Other superheroes will make a cameo in the next game]]
* Since places such as the Avengers Tower, Sanctum Sanctorum, Wakanda Embassy, and Alias Investigations existed as landmarks in those games, that means the heroes associated with these places might show up as well. They might do it like in those classic [=PS1=] games where other supers appear for a moment as cameos to help support Spidey from time to time, but the main focus will be on Spidey himself. Plus, with everything that's going on in New York in this game, those other heroes just can't simply ignore it and may take a more active role in keeping the peace. My guess as to which heroes will show up is: Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Man, and possibly Nick Fury and SHIELD.

[[WMG: One of the plotlines in the sequel will be about Richard and Mary Parker]]
* Maybe Insomniac will take the idea that Richard and Mary Parker are government or SHIELD agents and run with it. Maybe the reason for their untimely deaths can be traced back to Norman Osborn and his secret projects.

[[WMG: Toad will appear in a sequel, and be changed into a woman]]
* Toad from the X-Men comics will appear in the next game and be gender-bent. She’ll be a one-time villains

[[WMG: Taskmaster will become the “Riddler” of this universe]]
* More specifically, in a sequel he’ll always be hired under somebody’s guise laying out challenges for Spidey among other things.

[[WMG: The Brotherhood of Mutants will make an appearance]]

[[WMG: Taskmaster was hired by SHIELD]]
* It would make sense since Spider-Man would only work for a “Good” organization and any employers would be quick to realize this. Though SHIELD may be an “End justifies the means” type of group in this universe. Also in the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon Spidey did work for SHIELD for a considerable amount of time.

[[WMG: Richard Fisk, AKA The Rose, will appear in the sequel to take over his father's domains for himself.]]

[[WMG: Peter will gain new employment as a teacher for Midtown High or working at Horizon Labs with Max Modell]]

[[WMG: A future game will adapt the Superior Spider-Man storyline]]
* It wouldn't be too much of a stretch for Otto to figure out how to use the neural interface to pull a body swap with Peter before the disease renders him paralyzed. It could possibly serve as a kind of Redemption Arc for this version of Otto.
* I doubt it would lead to a redemption arc, the comics found it hard enough to get people to accept Otto, how do we expect them to push a game where you play a former bio-terrorist who stole the body of a hero we have loved for a long time, presumably murdering him. The fact is that while some people have grown to like the story some, like myself, still despise it, and it would be a major risk, like them trying to use the Clone Saga for a plot line.

[[WMG: The sequel will feature a co-op mode]]

Namely, Peter and Miles.

[[WMG: Flash Thompson will be in the second game.]]
* Though not in person, but as the host of his own podcast show that works to build up support for Spider-Man (harkening back to his old role as a Spidey fanboy) in direct opposition to JJJ's efforts. They'll have a fierce rivalry, with the two often responding to each other's broadcasts and having heated debates, though Jonah will try to be respectful towards Flash since he's a veteran--but only just barely.

[[WMG: Curt Connors' laboratory will become an important location]]
* With Otto out of the picture, that's where you'll go to do your little science-related minigames. Oh, and some plot stuff might happen there too.

[[WMG: Peter will replace the Advanced Suit.]]
* Peter won't want to wear something that reminds him of what happened to Otto, so he'll craft a entirely new suit and wear it as his primary costume. The Advanced Suit will still be available though, as an unlockable suit.
[[WMG: Mary Jane will wind up getting Spider powers.]]
* Given the disappointment over the BaitAndSwitch used to give Miles his powers and the feel that they TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot of giving MJ powers they may give her powers in the sequel. There are actually a few ways they can do this.
** The obvious is that she encounters another Spider, that is more inclined to bite her. They could try that, though it would risk claims of being derivative and recycling the plot for a third time (Peter was bit as some point as well)
** She could find a suit able to replicate Peter's powers, similar to the suit she wears in Renew Your Vows.
** Or if Harry as Venom (or another symbiote) is a key part of the second game, MJ could get a symbiote, again homaging the story in Revew Your Vows, as well as her role in the last few episodes of the Ultimate Spider Man cartoon, which her reporting job already homages.
* Furthermore giving MJ spider powers would allow Spider Gwen, Jessica Drew, Maday and other popular female spiders to be given roles in the game as costumes, Like Ben, Kaine and Miguel have such a role for Peter without the massive GameplayStorySegregation putting those costumes onto the [[WholesomeCrossdresser male Peter]] would cause.

[[WMG:[[MetaphoricallyTrue Black Cat does have a son, and he is Peter's]] ]]
To explain further, in the sequel Spiderman will meet up with Black Cat again, but instead of her living it up in the lap of luxury, it will turn out she is merely living on a modest upper middle class in the middle of nowhere, on purposely keeping to herself. Black Cat does confirm that she actually ''has'' a son, but ''heavily'' stresses that the kid is actually adopted. Despite being his son, only technically. Before Peter can ask further, her son reveals himself.....and he's actually this universe's version of '''''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppelganger_(comics) the Doppleganger!]]''''' Black Cat further explains that after she and Peter broke up both professionally and romantically, Black Cat did go straight for a while, but then became press ganged by S.H.I.E.L.D. to rob the headquarters of AIM to find evidence that would put away the organization forever. Black Cat discovers that AIM had been attempting to create artificially grown super soldiers, with the base of these soldiers taken from Norman Osborn's research on Spider-man's powers. The only successful result was the Doppleganger, a horrifically mutated clone of Peter Parker that barely looks like the original with the intelligence of a five year old. Feeling pity for this creatures and having intense maternal instincts flair up, Black Cat decided to steal the Doppleganger along with the evidence she collected. SHIELD wanted the creature destroyed, but Black Cat refuse to let them, so the thief was sent to steal the flash drives containing the Maggia's collective bank accounts as a compromise, with the loot being split 50/50 between SHIELD and herself, which was still enough to make her filthy rich. She decided to spend the rest of her life living in solitude and raising her clone child, her antagonism towards Spidey during the first DLC her attempt to try and push him away in order to completely do away with her past.

Of course, there is a reason for Spiderman trying to find Black Cat again, and she's forced to come out of retirement to help out. She will also have an added BerserkButton that is pressed [[ItIsDehumanizing whenever someone refers to the Dopplegangar as "it" and/or "that".]]

[[WMG: The group that hired Taskmaster to vet Spidey is...]]
A.I.M. They're confirmed to exist in this 'verse (check the labels on the boxes in Otto's lab after he gets 'alternative funding'), and they're defiantly the sort of group Taskmaster would associate with. It also makes sense why they would want Web-Head to work for them since a) his skills, equipment, and abilities would make him on Hell of an operative, and b) as a group of {{MadScientist}}s, they'd be champing at the bit to study him with the intent to replicate his powers.

[[WMG: Miles' suit, if he dons one, will have an original design and not be the one used in the comics.]]
Because why not, since Peter got one.

[[WMG: Possible suits that were not included in the first game:]]
* Amazing Spider-Man 1 and 2 suits
* Spider-Man 3 Black Suit
* Comic Book Black Suit
* Raimi Wrestling Suit
* [=TASM=] 1 Vigilante Suit
* Superior Spider-Man Suit
* Japanese Spider-Man Suit (Toei)
* Far From Home Suit (Possibly called Stark Suit Mk. II or something along those lines)
** Jossed; it was included in the original game as "Upgraded Suit".
* Spider-Man Unlimited Suit
* Captain Universe
* Sensational (Ben Reilly)
* Spider-Carnage
* Ricochet, Hornet, Dusk, and Prodigy
* Arachnoman
* Into The Spider-verse version of Noir with hat and trenchcoat (alongside the original Noir suit).
* if Miles is playable, he could have his own set of suits, like the Halloween costume from ''Into the Spider-Verse'' (with or without cape)
* Spider-Gwen

[[WMG: There will be a spin-off game that deals with the civil war in Symkaria]]
The civil war in Symkaria gets a lot of focus in ''Silver Lining'' that it's just impossible to leave it hanging. While Spider-Man stays in New York, MJ goes to Symkaria to cover the story. This entertains a possibility that Insomniac might be developing a new superhero game set in Symkaria, but it may star other superheroes instead. MJ will show up as a news reporter, though, and there will be references made about events happened in this game. Also, if this takes place internationally, then SHIELD might appear and play a big role as well.

[[WMG: The Punisher will be in the sequel.]]
But it won't be Frank Castle. [[spoiler: Yuri will become The Punisher as opposed to Wraith.]]
** Very unlikely. The Punisher mantle is so closely associated with Frank Castle in the comics that Insomniac won't risk alienating the fanbase by having someone else wearing the skull.

[[WMG:Jameson will run for Mayor.]]
Considering his outrage over Norman Osborn turning NYC into a PoliceState, J. Jonah Jameson will seek to dethrone him from his current position as Mayor.

[[WMG:Doc Ock will try to switch bodies with Spider-Man]]
and become [[ComicBook/SuperiorSpiderMan Superior]] by beating a new Sinister Six (that he created)and will end up a BossBattle for Miles.

[[WMG: Peter, Miles, and Mary-Jane will meet [[ComicBook/TheCloneSaga Peter's clones]]]]
both bad and good.

[[WMG: Peter will get the Black Suit for a certain portion of the game]]
After he discards it and it latches on to whomever becomes Venom, the boss battle will have the computer use the player's most frequent combat strategies against them.

[[WMG: Prowler will be a villain]]
Assuming the next game will focus on Miles becoming his own version of Spider-Man, he'll eventually have to deal with his Uncle Aaron AKA The Prowler, who be TheDragon to the main villain.

[[WMG: Peter will get a job, or get an interview, at Horizon Labs]]

[[WMG: Venom is going to be the second-to-last boss (or at least the ClimaxBoss) while Green Goblin takes the position as FinalBoss.]]
Putting aside that it's been a long time since Goblin got to be the final boss in a Spider-Man game, nothing spells "climatic" like Spidey having to face off against two of his greatest nemeses back-to-back.

[[WMG: Venom won't just be bonded to one host...but ''three.'']]
TheStinger does show the symbiote, but what if it may not be the whole thing? It would certainly be enough to keep Harry under life support, but not enough to turn him into Venom right away (keywords). The other two portions will end up going to Peter and Eddie. After Norman had taken the symbiote in, he could only keep one third of it as the rest of it fled his lab - one part goes to Peter at one point, creating the iconic black suited Spider-Man; and shortly after his reputation tanks, Eddie gets the other part. Once Peter and Harry come across each other, the latter will go into full-on Venom mode, which could resemble ''ComicBook/UltimateMarvel'''s interpretation of him. Upon defeating him, the symbiotically influenced Spidey will rip the symbiote from Harry's body and seemingly dispose of it somehow, killing him horribly. Right after, Spidey realizes [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone what he just did]] and tears his part of the symbiote off...Eddie will recollect the other two parts of the symbiote to make it whole, and ''fully'' become Venom, looking much closer to the traditional/mainstream Venom design than Harry. Of course, since he is now Venom, Eddie bears full knowledge of Spider-Man, his identity, his secrets, everything as per tradition...and the fact that he murdered Harry. Which will be ''the perfect evidence'' to slander the spider and get his vengeance upon him once and for all: ''and'' earn Norman's trust, who will no doubt become the Green Goblin once hearing about his son's death.

[[WMG: Peter and Miles will continue to work at FEAST]]
If we assume that FEAST survives the events of the game it'd make sense for Peter and Miles to continue working there for 2 reasons:
* Reason number 1: It would be out of character for Peter, the hero who embodies responsibility and helping the little guy, to abandon people who he's helping.
* Reason number 2: It would be a good way to honor May, to continue her work.
Connecting to this...

[[WMG: Tony Stark will be revealed to have started bankrolling FEAST]]
Presumably Martin Li's assets have been seized, and even if they haven't, anyone still in charge would be unlikely to keep using the terrorist's money for fear of backlash. However FEAST still needs money so presumably it would need help from some Philanthropists. It would be a decent way to introduce Tony, and by extension the Avengers into Peter's world without them appearing as heroes and potentially overshadowing Spidey.

[[WMG: Spider Bot will be a deployable gadget players can use at any time for reconnaissance]]
The frequent use of Spider Bot in ''The City that Never Sleeps'' suggests that Peter has managed to make them regular use, so in the sequel perhaps they will be usable in a similar way to the RC Car from the ''VideoGame/WatchDogs'' DLC ''Bad Blood'', or the Jumper from ''VideoGame/WatchDogs2'', or possibly the Quadcopter if the Spider Bot can fly like it's MCU counterpart or the combat Gadget Spider Drone.

[[WMG: Peter will have the Hacking app in the sequel]]
With Miles as Peter's protege, there is no way that he wouldn't eventually bring up the hacking app to Peter, and it'd then make sense for Peter to implement the app into his Spidey Gadgets. It's also possible that MJ would begin using it, assuming her stealth segments return, while them ''not'' having Miles use it as Kid Arachnid (or whatever he goes by) would just not make sense.

[[WMG: The Goblin Serum will be developed as a cure for Harry's illness]]
One of the effects of Harry's disease is that it makes him physically weak, so Norman brews up the Serum so that it'll at least allow Harry to leave his life support chamber. To test how safe it is, Norman uses it on himself, and it is soon revealed that the Serum has the unfortunate side-effect of making him more violent and aggressive, ultimately causing him to become the Green Goblin.

[[WMG:Gwen Stacy will appear in the sequel]]
* But she'll be a teenager. Instead of the usual Peter, MJ, Gwen love triangle, Gwen is introduced as Miles' love interest similarly to Into The Spider-Verse. She may or may not get powers.
* Her plotline will be similar to Miles' from the first game leading to her gaining Spider powers of her own and then her own spin-off game, perhaps to not be a straight repeat of Miles' character arc she could gain her powers early on and take up the Ghost-Spider identity in time for the Climax.

[[WMG: The sequel will expand combat to aerial and wall-crawling battles, like in [[VideoGame/SpiderManWebOfShadows Spider-Man: Web of Shadows]]]]
With both the aerial superiority of the Green Goblin and Venom's augmented Spider-abilities, it stands to reason that Spidey has to be even more adaptable than he already is, all in order to combat foes that can match him on any terrain, whether it's when he's web-swinging or wall-crawling. Insomniac clearly took a lot from many other Spider-Man games, especially from the oft-revered [[VideoGame/SpiderMan2 PIZZA TIME]], but let's not forget that the handy Web-Strike mechanic originated from the 2008 game, Web of Shadows. Its main draw was being able to switch from the Classic Red suit to the Venom Black Suit in a symbiote-infested New York, but a lot of people don't seem to recall just how innovative and unique its combat system was. In WOS, Spidey has a HUGE amount of combat abilities and special movies not only on the ground, but WHILE HE'S WEB-SWINGING or FIGHTING ON THE WALLS. Sure it was a little clunky at times, but being able to fight seamlessly between the ground, air, and walls (with a FULL MOVESET for EACH TERRAIN) is an incredible mechanic that I'm honestly shocked no other Spider-Man game has tried to do, including this one. It would be a natural evolution for Insomniac's mission to bring the best possible Spider-Man experience, by perfecting mechanics introduced in previous games and elevating them to a truly amazing experience. It also makes some amount of sense from a story standpoint; should Norman become the Goblin or Harry/Brock/Gargan/Aunt May's corpse/Miles become Venom. Norman would hire his own PMC group of glider-riding Goblin wannabes (like the Kingpin flying thugs in WOS) and Venom could spawn symbiote enemies that chase Peter down on the walls.

[[WMG:Silver Sable and Black Cat will remain villains in the sequel]]
Sable makes it clear she doesn't see herself as a hero in ''Silver Lining''. She might teach the audience that working with a hero doesn't automatically make her a good guy. She might be committing war crimes in Symkaria, or simply fighting a retaliatory civil war with the intent of becoming a dictator. She is still a mercenary and may be at odds with Spider-Man again. As for Black Cat she's still a criminal [[spoiler:that lied about having a son with Spider-Man simply to steal money from Hammerhead]] and only sided with him and Spider-Man for her and their mutual benefit.

[[WMG: Spider-Man and the police will be on worse terms.]]
With [[spoiler: Yuri having become Wraith]], Spider-man has lost his main liason with the police and his relationship with them will deteoriate, with the cops becoming a lot more suspicious of Spidey. Eventually, they'll completely turn on Spider-Man and there'll some missions where the cops will be gunning for him.

[[WMG: Harry:]]
* Will wind up being the anti-Doc Octopus storyline-wise. He’ll start off as a monster- or will become one by the end of Act I- but Peter will be able to reach him and bring him back to the light. It’ll be a redemption of sorts for Peter who partially blames himself for not being able to save Octavius.
* Will become a vigilante. There’s a line in his journal from the first game- “little bit of bad to do a lot of good”- that’s just so on the nose, it’s impossible to not read it as foreshadowing. Whether or not it’s as Venom/Anti-Venom/Hobgoblin/whatever, he’ll end the game as an antihero vigilante. He might even wind up targeting Norman, depending on how he reacts to the news about Devil’s Breath- this version of Harry is much more of a humanitarian and will likely be horrified that what was an attempt to cure him led to the deaths of thousands of people, including Aunt May, who Harry was presumably close to.
* Is gay. This one is kind of reaching but it fits. Besides representation, this version of Harry has some tropes associated with being gay- he’s really close to his mom (let’s be honest, calling her “the prettiest mom at midtown” is freaking Norman Bates-level weird if he’s straight), he’s distant with his dad (Norman being at least mildly homophobic could explain why he prefers Peter if that character dynamic exists in this universe- the usual reason, that Harry’s a slacker or depends on Pete, doesn’t fit in this narrative) and he’s much more mature/arguably slightly more feminine than usual. Plus- the past few iterations of Harry have had been the source of an ocean of Ho Yay, so making him canonically gay would be the next logical step.

[[WMG: The regular employees and residents of F.E.A.S.T will be revealed to [[SecretSecretKeeper know Peter is Spider Man]]]]
There is a moment, when Peter breaks into Lee's office where he openly web zips into a ceiling vent. Coupled with him being treated at the shelter after Otto kidnaps Norman, Spidey asking about May while in costume, the climax of the game, including Peter unmasking for May, it makes sense that at least some of the regular residents and employees of F.E.A.S.T will have figured out that Peter is Spidey [[spoiler:particularly after Gloria became one of the people to see Miles unmasked in the climax of ''VideoGame/SpiderManMilesMorales''.]]


Why not say anything? There are several reasons.
1: Out of respect for May's memory.
2: Peter himself seemed to be a well liked volunteer.
3: We know Spidey personally saved Gloria and helped Howard with the pigeons, the implication is that he may have helped a lot of them.

This could lead to a moment similar to ''Spider Man 2'' where F.E.A.S.T rallies to protect Peter from a villain, or alternatively a moment where a villain turns the city against Peter and the people of F.E.A.S.T give him a group pep talk the strength to get back in the fight.

[[WMG:Potential tie-ins with ''Marvel's Wolverine'']]
With the announcement that Wolverine is getting his own game, there are a few ways for ''Marvel's Spider-Man 2'' to foreshadow the events of this game:
* X-Men specific villains like Toad as minibosses (see above).
* A casual reference or two to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters and/or Wolverine.
* A sidequest involving mutants.

With Miles as Peter's protege there is no way that he wouldn't eventually bring up the hacking app to Peter, and it'd then make sense for Peter to implement the app into his Spidey Gadgets. It's also possible that MJ would begin using it, assuming her stealth segments return, while them ''not'' having Miles use it as Kid Arachnid (or whatever he goes by) would just not make sense.

There is a moment, when Peter breaks into Lee's office where he openly web zips into a ceiling vent. Coupled with him being treated at the shelter after Otto kidnaps Norman, Spidey asking about May while in costume, the climax of the game, including Peter unmasking for May, it makes sense that at least some of the regular residents and employees of F.E.A.S.T will have figured out that Peter is Spidey [[spoiler:particularly after Gloria became one of the people to see Miles unmasked in the climax of VideoGame/SpiderManMilesMorales.]]

[[WMG:Potential tie-ins with ''Marvel's Wolverine'']]
With the announcement that Wolverine is getting his own game, there are a few ways for ''Marvel's Spider-Man 2'' to foreshadow the events of this game:
* X-Men specific villains like Toad as minibosses (see above).
* A casual reference or two to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters and/or Wolverine.
* A sidequest involving mutants.

** Jossed. There's no "Teen Spidey" DLC coming in the game. They could save it for the sequel or a novel though.

This could lead to a moment similar to Spider Man 2 where F.E.A.S.T rallies to protect Peter from a villain, or alternatively a moment where a villain turns the city against Peter and the people of F.E.A.S.T give him a group pep talk the strength to get back in the fight.

\n** Sort of. We're getting a ''Wolverine'' spin-off set in the same universe as the Insomniac ''Spider-Man'' games. If it's a success, Insomniac will likely make more games based on Marvel characters.

* Partially jossed. This is the exact function of the Mary Jane stealth missions, though there is one mission in the base game where Pete is looking for evidence to convict [[spoiler: Martin Li as Mr. Negative]] inside F.E.A.S.T, and another in the Silver Lining DLC where Pete follows two Hammerhead Thugs in his normal persona to gather intel on Hammerhead’s whereabouts.
