Spider-Man 2: 10 Villain Boss Fights We Need To See

4. Big Wheel

Yes, Big Wheel. I am being 100% serious. Put Big Wheel in Spider-Man 2, please and thank you.

One of the best things about Insomniac's depiction of the wall-crawler has been how its balanced emotional maturity with moments of levity, which, when you think about it, is sort of the essence of Spidey's comics.

Players have seen serious encounters with the likes of Rhino and Scorpion, but they've also had to fight Screwball and an easily wound up Vulture. Humour is fundamental to any Spidey encounter, and while Big Wheel in principle wasn't designed as a joke, the idea of a man who uses a literal big wheel to terrorise his enemies - and just... decided to call himself 'Big Wheel' too - is genuinely hilarious.

That aside, there are intriguing gameplay possibilities with Big Wheel too. A mission where Miles and Peter have to chase the Wheel through New York could be fun, and would make use of the Big Wheel Easter egg included in Spider-Man: Miles Morales.

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.
