Spider-Man PS4: 32 Secrets, References And Easter Eggs You Must Find
12. Nelson And Murdock
Insomniac
Though the Man Without Fear fails to appear in Insomniac's Spider-Man game, he isn't short of references. The aforementioned Fogwell's Gym appears in the character's famous stomping ground of Hell's Kitchen, and numerous pre-release material confirmed the presences of longtime ally and journalist Ben Urich, as well as Echo - a deaf adversary-turned ally who helps him take down the Kingpin in the comics.
Insomniac have done well to account for the character's absence though, having included a Nelson & Murdock business card with a neat little anecdote where Peter just about cracks the case of Matt's double life.
Reading through it, Peter mentions that he was given this card in case "Spider-Man ever needed a lawyer." He then pauses, before ending his speech by saying "Wait... if he was blind, how did he know I was Spider-Man?" - you can even visit the offices in game!
Please just include him in the sequel, Insomniac. Everyone loves a good Daredevil-Spidey team up!
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.
