News - In Spider-Man 2, Spider-Cop Is A Big Reason Why Peter Parker Must Step Aside

<p dir="ltr">There's a joke in <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/games/marvels-spider-man-2/">Marvel's Spider-Man 2</a> that, if you're at all tied into discussions about Insomniac's Spider-Man games, feels pointed. It comes up during side-plot moments with Wraith, a vigilante who wants Peter Parker's Spider-Man to help her put an end to a fire-obsessed killer cult. When Spider-Man asks Wraith if she has any tattoos, she quips, "Just the one of Spider-Cop's gravestone."</p><p dir="ltr">It's a joke that requires some familiarity with the first <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/games/marvels-spider-man/">Marvel's Spider-Man</a>. The 2018 game saw Peter constantly working with New York Police Department captain Yuri Watanabe--the character who, after the events of the first game and its DLC, becomes Wraith. When they worked together, Peter often jokingly pretended to be a hardboiled, Dirty Harry-like detective character he called Spider-Cop, much to Yuri's annoyance. So on the surface, the "Spider-Cop's gravestone" gag is a callback to their previous close relationship and a dunk on Peter's dorky sense of humor, while also highlighting the dark turn Yuri has taken since.</p><p dir="ltr">But the death of Spider-Cop also references a larger discussion surrounding the first Spider-Man, and it's a microcosm of character elements at work in Spider-Man 2. In the first game, Insomniac "<a href="https://deadspin.com/they-turned-spider-man-into-a-damn-cop-and-it-sucks-1828944087">turned Spider-Man into a damn cop</a>," as Deadspin's Tom Ley put it. But in the sequel, the developer turned that criticism into character development that's an essential part of the story. And, indirectly, it's also one of the main reasons that Peter Parker chooses to step away from his superhero role and let Miles Morales take over.</p><a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/in-spider-man-2-spider-cop-is-a-big-reason-why-peter-parker-must-step-aside/1100-6520252/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/">Continue Reading at GameSpot</a>
