Spider-Man PS4: 10 Villains Insomniac Must Include
5. Doctor Octopus
Marvel Comics
The villain who was 'leaked' just the other month in the wake of the game's E3 demo, Otto Octavius still isn't nailed on to make an appearance in Spider-Man PS4, but it's one of the more likely ones to happen.
The character was actually the first to assemble the Sinister Six, and with the group set to light up screens everywhere when the game releases in September, it makes all the sense for him to appear. Throw in the possibility of Dock Ock-themed costumes, a new redesign and a series of innovative boss battles, and the case for him appearing is only made stronger.
There's just no way Insomniac omit such a pivotal member of Spider-Man's rogues' gallery, and with that earlier report in mind, it's almost a certainty that he'll round out the game's cast of characters with a pivotal role in the main story.
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.
