Within the ever-expanding universe of Insomniac Games' rendition of Spider-Man, players have come across numerous easter eggs, teases, and intricate storylines that suggest a web of possibilities for future games. One of these mysteries involves the possible appearance of the symbiote deity, Knull.
The first hint at Knull's potential involvement comes from a closer look at the meteorite central to the plot of Marvel's Spider-Man 2. This meteorite, which brought a symbiote to the version of New York City portrayed in the game, bears the unmistakable symbol of Knull. In Marvel lore, Knull is not just another adversary; he's the creator of the symbiotes and a formidable force who has tangled with mighty figures such as Thor, The Silver Surfer, and the Fantastic Four. He's the true owner of Gorr The Butcher's mighty weapon, of the All-Black, otherwise known as The Necrosword. So, yeah, he's that big of a deal.
Given the level of enemies Peter Parker and Miles Morales have previously encountered in Insomniac's games, bringing in an adversary like Knull to the franchise hints at a multiversal escalation in threat and scale.
However, to say that Knull's symbol on the meteorite is a definitive sign of his imminent appearance in the series would be jumping the gun. Insomniac's Marvel universe is unique. It's a reality where the game developers have reimagined an entirely new universe to fit their narrative vision. For instance, they've taken creative liberties, introducing their unique take on characters, including a Venom that isn't Eddie Brock. This Earth-1048 universe is a standalone corner of the Marvel multiverse where characters and stories can be molded in unexpected ways.
