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

4. More Playable Characters

Spider-Man allowed players control over three different characters: Peter Parker, Mary Jane and Miles Morales. There wasn't much to distinguish the latter two in terms of gameplay, with both effectively navigating various stealth sections, but there was promise. It's rare that comic book video games ever let you inhabit the roles of a main hero's supporting cast, so it was really refreshing to see Insomniac buck that trend in their own little way.

As much as no one wants the limelight to be taken off Peter Parker or Miles Morales in a game with Spider-Man title, it would be nice for the sequel to get more adventurous when it comes to playable figures. We've already pretty much confirmed that the next game will feature both Miles and Peter as New York's two Spider-Men, but who else could feature?

Silver Sable certainly seems like a possibility, while Yuri's transformation from NYPD cop to the vigilante known as Wraith is set in stone. However, with Venom on the horizon too, wouldn't it be interesting for Marvel to experiment with that character too? It was already deployed to great effect in Ultimate Spider-Man, so who's to say it wouldn't again?
