Spider-Man 2 - 10 Essential Fan Demands It Must Include

9. The Black Costume Saga

Alien Costume Saga
Marvel Comics

A given, seeing as how the first game ended, but it's still something every fan wants to see in the sequel regardless.

Marvel's Spider-Man ended with a selection of bombshells, none more seismic than the revelation that Harry Osborn was being preserved within a symbiote housed in Norman Osborn's penthouse apartment. The Black Costume was conspicuous by its absence in the first game, and the likely reason why it wasn't included is because Insomniac are gearing up to deliver their own twist on it in the sequel.

Obviously there'll be a few major differences. For starters, while Eddie Brock was referenced in the first title, it doesn't look as though either he or Peter have encountered the symbiote. Only Osborn appears to have knowledge of the alien goop in this particular universe, which makes Insomniac's only the second interpretation of Spidey to feature Harry as Venom.

Either way, any adaptation of the Black Costume Saga has to include two things: Peter Parker getting the symbiote; and him fighting with Venom.
