Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse - 28 Easter Eggs & References Explained
7. Secret War
Insomniac
Although 1984's Secret Wars is perhaps the most famous 'Secret' event in Marvel's library, one of the best is Brian Bendis and Gabriele Dell'Otto's Secret War, which first released in 2004.
The story sees Spider-Man, Captain America, Daredevil, Black Widow, Wolverine and others infiltrate Latveria to stop a conspiracy at Nick Fury's behest, and a bunch are outfitted in stealthy garb for the mission in question. Peter Parker gets a cool black, red and blue number, and it's spotlighted in Peter's lair for Into the Spider-Verse.
Apart from that, the suit has also appeared in several Spidey video games, including the most recent one made by Insomniac, which released September 2018.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
