We’re tracking down every Marvel Universe Easter egg and reference in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
This article consists of nothing butSpider-Man: Into the Spider-Versespoilers.
Well,Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verseabsolutely delivers everything a Spider-Man fan could possibly want.
Now, lets get swingin… ## Miles Morales
Miles Moraleswas created by Brian Michael Bendis and Sara Pichelli.
Hes currently part of the main Marvel Universe though.
Miles is often seen reading a comic calledTrue Life Tales of Spider-Man.
One of the covers is an obvious callback toAmazing Fantasy#15, the first appearance of Peter Parker.
Names in Miles phone include B. Bendis and Sara Pichelli.
Hed better have those names in there… they are the people who created him!
Meanwhile, Miles Dads phone has Peter Parker co-creator Steve Ditko on speed dial.
Peter Parker
This movie takes place about 10 years into this worlds version of Spider-Mans career.
Theres also a visual homage to him pulling the Staten Island Ferry together fromSpider-Man: Homecoming.
Peter Parker and Mary Jane are divorced in the older Peters world.
This is rather surprising to see if you were following the character back in the mid-00s.
to create a retcon that they never got hitched.
Why not just have them straight-up get divorced?
Quesada claimed it would age Peter too much and would make him even harder to relate to.
It was a beautiful story where Aunt May revealed shes known Peter was Spider-Man for years.
That too got undercut by horrible comic book writing to de-age the character.
For instance,X-Men Noirwas about a group of grifters with special gifts (ie.
Rogues ability to perfectly steal someones identity) opposing a corrupt police force.
Spider-Man Noir received two miniseries and appeared to be the only hero of that line to have actual powers.
The gist of her quick backstory from the movie very much lines up with the comics.
Spider-Gwen fought the Lizard a little too hard with the offense and ended up killing him by accident.
Shell return in an animated spinoff of her own, so dont you worry.
He is exactly what you expect.
Believe it or not, this is only a small sampling of theSpider-Men of the Spider-Verseout there.
Is it us, or does Mary Jane in this movie look like J. Scott Campbell art?
Essentially (hoo-boy) in the 90s Marvel had this awful idea calledThe Clone Saga.
Peter plans to take Miles under his wing, but dies.
Spideys Secret Headquarters
InSpider-Men, 616 Peter does visit Ultimate Aunt Mays home.
Aunt May appears to have her furniture covered in plastic.
Thats a nice detail for anyone who has an elderly relative living in the boroughs of NYC.
Its basically standard issue.
The infamous Spider-Mobile is on display in the late-Spider-Mans lair.
Well, for starters, he lives in New York City.
If you grow up here, theres little reason for you to drive.
Why bother learning to drive when you might web swing?
Suits in the lair include the video game costume, Iron Spider suit, stealth suit, MCU suit.
The caped one is fromWhat Ifv.1 #19 (he stopped the thief and remained an entertainer).
One of them is Spider-Man fromExiles, coming from a world where Peter Parker wore the Carnage symbiote.
It is the one with a big green emblem on an overall black attire.
One would think the neon green undercuts the idea of stealth, but whatever.
But neither of those are the guy on screen here… (He was previously portrayed by Michael Clarke Duncan in the 2003Daredevilmovie).
Liev Schrieber manages to deliver a different enough performance from Vincent DOnofrios to make it his own though.
The email came from wfisk@fiskindustries.com.
Which begs the queston: exactly what am I gonna do with all these bullets?
Kingpin is haunted by the rejection and deaths of his wife Vanessa and son Richard.
In the end, he was shot dead by Vanessa.
Fisk removed every trace of his identity and allowed him to move on.
Fisk admits to thinking of using that kind of technology to find another Vanessa.
Kingpins bodyguard is Tombstone, otherwise known as Lonnie Thompson Lincoln.
Doctor Octopus
Dr. Olivia Octavius is an original character.
Or as original as you’re free to get for being a gender-flipped Otto Octavius.
Thats kind of the point of the twist is.
That said, there have been at least two female versions of Doc Ock in the comics.
This is a different version of Scorpion than weve seen in any movie, animated series, or game.
Any ideas where hes pulled from?
Spidey does the finger guns like he does inthe amazing PS4 video game.
This visual was one of the main inspirations for Miles Morales very creation.
Glover himself has voiced Miles onUltimate Spider-Man: Web-Warriorsand played the live-action version of Aaron Davis inSpider-Man: Homecoming.
Later in the movie theres an appropriately cheesy use of St. Elmos Fire.
Did you know this movie almost featured a Doctor Strange cameo?
Well…it almost did!
Spider-Hams Thats all folks!
is…well…you know where thats from.
Wait…is he even allowed to say that?
Another is the hay image, where Spider-Man was laying down on a train track.
Earth-67 is wherethe 1967-1970Spider-Mancartoontakes place.
The footage originates from the season one episode Double Identity.
Taking up the mantle of Spider-Man, he was the first of many hero reprisals from that era.
We went into muchmore detail about those post-credits scenes right here.
