Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse - 28 Easter Eggs & References Explained

20. Blond Peter Parker

Spider-Man Ben Reilly Unmasked
Marvel Comics

So, the first Spider-Man - the one who dies - turns out to be blond. Why is that important? Well there are two potential Easter Eggs with this revelation. One is that this is a clever nod to that Peter's voice actor, the blond-haired Chris Pine, but the other is that this could be a neat callback to Ben Reilly, Peter Parker's blond-haired clone.

Yes, the Clone Saga isn't exactly remembered fondly by web-heads, but he's the only version of the character to sport a blond hairdo in the comics. Either way - whether it's a reference to Pine or to Ben - we can all agree that seeing Pete with a different style was fairly surreal.
