E3 2018: Everything We Learned From Sony's Spider-Man Demo

6. Mister Negative Isn't The Main Villain?

Since the first Spidey trailer debuted in 2016, Insomniac have maintained that Mister Negative - a character introduced in Dan Slott's run on Spider-Man - would be the main villain of their game. Now, however, it looks as though he answers to someone else - someone who could very much be Green Goblin.

Perhaps sensing the backlash that greeted the bait-and-switch tactics WB Montreal deployed with Batman: Arkham Origins, Insomniac have opted to address Negative's role in the story head on. He very much looks to be playing a significant part in the story, but it would appear as though there are larger plans at play.

This could be considered a good or a bad thing depending on how you feel about Spider-Man's rogues gallery, but at least the story's shaping up to bring a whole bunch of the character's villains - old and new - into the spotlight.
