Marvel's Spider-Man 2 delivers another blockbuster web-slinging story on PS5. This third game in Insomniac's franchise teams Peter Parker with Miles Morales, as the more experienced hero both mentors and relies on his protege, as the two deal with dangerous new foes. Though Spider-Man 2 brings most of its major storylines to a conclusion, it also hints at possible things to come in future installments--including some relatively obscure pieces of comic book lore. To help you navigate, we've wrapped up the current status of all the major characters as of the end of Spider-Man 2, along with some educated guesses of where we could go from here based on the various teasers dropped throughout the campaign and ending.

Spoilers for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 follow.

To start, it's worth noting that while Insomniac's Spider-Man universe borrows familiar plot beats and characters from other universes, including the main Earth-616 continuity, the studio also tends to put its own spin on the story. A lot of elements and Easter eggs in this game are recognizable but stray from the blueprint set in the comics. The most clear and obvious example of this is Venom, whose most famous alter-ego is Eddie Brock. In Insomniac's Spider-Man universe, Venom is Peter's best friend, Harry Osborn. Harry's version of Venom is very similar to Brock's, though it's presented with a mixture of loneliness and frustration with Peter instead of outright hatred.
