Spider-Man PS4: 32 Secrets, References And Easter Eggs You Must Find
24. The Jackal
Insomniac
On the surface, Peter Parker's coffee-stained thesis looks pretty unassuming - a sentimental piece of text from early on in Pete's scientific career.
However, scratch just a little bit beneath, and you notice that the professor who graded this paper is none other than Miles Warren. In the comics, Warren is the villain known as The Jackal, and he had a key part to play in the infamous nineties comic book story-arc, the Clone Saga, as its chief architect.
We can only hope Insomniac aren't taking inspiration from that story, but still, Miles Warren is alive and well in Insomniac's Spider-Verse, and could go onto feature in a potential sequel.
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.
