Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse features several nods to Insomniac’s Marvel’s Spider-Man video game, including a reference to a joke from the series. In 2018, Insomniac Games released Marvel’s Spider-Man to immediate praise. The take was fresh, exciting, and gave fans the best video game adaptation of Spider-Man they had seen in many years. Although it was still a familiar version of Peter Parker, it shook things up. One of the most instantly noticeable changes was in Spidey’s suit which included a large white spider symbol on the front and back along with some white plating across the rest of the suit. This was a pretty jarring change at first, but quickly became very recognizable and something that fans grew to appreciate.
