The cast of supporting characters in the Marvel’s Spider-Man franchise has developed into a truly special part of each game’s world-building. Like the Arkham games, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 shows a throughline for characters who are brought back to continue their development, and while some are more intriguing or engaging than others, it is still great to have these characters help establish a unique continuity. That’s why, even though she is mainly relegated to side content that players don’t need to experience, Black Cat plays a large role in the story.
