"Go time?" "Go time."

Spoilers Off applies to all Moments pages, so all spoilers below are unmarked! You Have Been Warned.


  • The first boss in the game? None other than the Rhino, who Miles — before gaining his powers — had to hide away from in a stealth section, where the former was perfectly willing to kill him if he found him. Now, Miles has powers and is able to take him on himself. The fight actually turns into an entire chapter by itself, showing that this particular version of the Rhino is an Adaptational Badass.
    • The Spider-Men track the Rhino through Manhattan, following his rampage of destruction as he tears through buildings and jumps down the road with the kind of power normally reserved for the Hulk. At one point, Miles manages to grab hold of the Rhino and rides him like a horse, directing him out of the way of civilians. He even has to jump off him in order to save a baby that the Rhino was going to squash.
    • Peter is also hard at working getting civilians out of the way of the Rhino.
    • The Rhino shows his invulnerability and fearlessness by charging head first into a Roxxon gas sphere and blows the entire building up in hopes of killing the two Spider-Men.
    • Peter loses his fight to the Rhino and is left broken before the Russian supervillain's superior strength. Miles then discovers his Venom blasts and has to use it to fight the man who just defeated his mentor. Only the addition of his new superpower allows him to triumph over the supervillain single-handed.
    • If that wasn't awesome enough, Miles later has to fight Rhino again, and this time he has armor specifically built to to counter the only thing that let Miles win the first time... and Miles still wins.
  • What would Spider-Man be without him holding up something heavy to save lives? This time, Miles has to hold together two sections of a bridge that is falling apart so that civilians can cross it.
  • Miles and Ganke creating the Classic Suit. After Rio (unknowingly) and Ganke convince Miles not to give up and to make the Spider-Man name his own, we see the boys working on the suit, trying several kinds of fabric to find one resistant to the Venom Blast and all for the grand reveal of Miles in the suit, racing up the side of a building and all of it to the tune of "This is My Time." It has that amazing feel of Miles' leap of faith from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, but with its own flair.
  • Spider-Man and Prowler team up to take out the Roxxon security forces closing in on them. During this part of the game, whenever Miles performs a certain finisher move, Aaron will tag in to get the final blow.
  • Rio Morales shows that Miles didn't just get his sense of heroism from his father. Not only does she run for city council against the powerful Roxxon Corporation, at the climax she stays in Harlem to help evacuate the citizens before the Nuform reactor explodes.
  • Phin sacrificing herself to help Miles release the energy from the explosion and ensure Harlem is safe. She does this by grabbing him, turning on her gear's powers, and running directly up a building, jumping high above New York, with a beautiful shot of the explosion happening around them as she disintegrates.
    Phin: It's okay. Just let go.
  • Aaron exposing evidence of Simon Krieger’s crimes and the truth of Nuform to the public, accepting a reduced sentence for his part in the whole thing. The Smug Snake Krieger is furiously ranting about the evidence being fake when he is being arrested.
  • The Stinger showcases Norman Osborn demanding that Curt Connors - yes, the Lizard - to release Harry from containment, as shown from the latter third's awakened viewpoint. It won't be long now... Venom is coming!
  • Miles and Ganke, with the help of their fellow Harlem residents providing leads and posting in the FNSM App, manage to shut down Wilson Fisk's plans to ruin Harlem so he can take it over. This culminates in Miles defeating the remnants of Fisk's gang as they’re shooting up CJ Walker Park, before giving this Badass Boast:
  • Danika calling out Jameson's hypocrisy in their debate. The very debate he demanded to call her out on her positive views towards the Spider-Men since she's just a teenager.
    JJJ: Let me ask you something, "Danny," do you ever think about what you're inciting? About your journalistic integrity?
    Danika: More than some.
    JJJ: Because your campaign against Roxxon is baffling to an ACTUAL journalist like myself. You should be attacking the young, unproved VIGILANTE who keeps causing problems in Harlem!
    Danika: What?! You-you twist everything Spider-Man does into something malicious, while simultaneously excusing everything Roxxon does wrong! All Spider-Man needs for you to support him is to get a better PR department.
    JJJ: Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh. The only problem Spider-Man fixes are the ONES HE CAUSES! I won't pride the arsonist for putting out his fire! Meanwhile, Roxxon built a beautiful plaza in a FAILING neighborhood.
    Danika: By tearing down homes and businesses! Our new Spider-Man is proving that Harlem isn't the failure Roxxon makes it out to be. And you, Mr. Jameson, for someone who claims to love New York, you sure do seem to hate New Yorkers.
    JJJ: You are clearly emotional, young lady, so I'm invoking the mercy rule on this "debate." Jared, shut it down! And whose idea was it to debate a teenager? THERE ARE NO GOOD OPTICS TO DESTROYING A CHILD! Get the car. I need a hot stone massage!
    • Following this debate, the Danikast was boosted to number three, even higher than Just the Facts! Clearly, many people praised Danika for actually out-ranting Jameson, a trained debater, with solid points of her own in Spider-Man's defense, something participants in Jameson's podcasts occasionally tried and failed to do without him twisting their facts into slanderous accusations. Take that, Jameson!
  • After Peter returns from Symkaria, he tells Miles in a phone call that Silver Sable and her Wild Pack had such a good handle in the civil war, Peter didn't even have to suit up at all. This could count as an off-screen moment of awesome for Sable.
