No comic book game would be complete without a huge roster of villains to compete with, and the same most certainly goes for Spider-Man.

We've already heard rumblings that Michael Keeton is bringing his own rendition of Adrian Toomes to the MCU in Spider-Man: Homecoming, so that's already one villain that could work wonderfully given appropriate levels of story-telling nuance and layered gameplay. It's also important not to forget that Spidey himself has one of the best rogues galleries in the business, being second only to Batman's. Heck, why not go the full mile and use the entire Sinister Six? They're the perfect cast for players to deal with in a potential game, and that already nullifies any problems of repetitive gameplay, at least in respect to boss battles.

Again, if it can work for Batman, it can work for Spidey. Just be sure to make the battles challenging and innovative please - we definitely don't want a repeat of Wolverine's gameshow trivia hour from Web of Shadows.

Content Producer/Presenter

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.
