Confirmed in the E3 demo earlier this June, Yuriko Watanabe again features in Spidey's latest trailer, under fire and in urgent need of assistance.

In the comics, Watanabe is a police officer turned vigilante who goes by the name of Wraith. While it doesn't look as though she'll be donning the purple and gold outfit yet, Watanabe is placed to be the key ally on the police force for the player, which again, poses a question regarding Spider-Man's relationship with the NYPD.

Any fan will know that the wall-crawler and New York's finest haven't always seen eye to eye over the years (a trend exacerbated by the ramblings of J. Jonah Jameson), but if the story does take place during the latter years of the hero, then the Watanabe-Wall-Crawler partnership could, potentially, indicate a general change in attitude from the police towards Spidey.
