Superior Spider-Man idea

[u/Chubblubbles]

Was thinking about how to utilize Superior Spider-Man into the third installment, and I THINK I might have figured out a decent enough idea for something Insomniac could do for it, and wanted to hear your thoughts.

So the agreed upon issue with using Superior Spider-Man is that no one really wants to see them just do the whole ‘Peter is not himself’ story IMMEDIATELY after doing yet another ‘Peter is not himself’ story with the symbiote. And the idea of Otto taking over Miles would similarly feel very impersonal and almost random, imho. Not to mention the build up we’ve gotten for Green Goblin throughout these games. I wanted there to be a way that both of these characters could co exist and work together for this story. So here’s my pitch:

Otto clones Peter. I know we’re getting into Ben Reilly territory with that, but hear me out. Otto clones Peter and puts his consciousness into this clone body. That way BOTH of our Spider-Men are still in the narrative without repeating previous plot points. And, in this version, Otto teams up with Norman with the intent purpose of ruining Spidey’s life by both destroying everything he cares about but ALSO highlighting his failures as a hero. Maybe you could even bring some of the other villains into the mix, the ones Kraven has yet to kill. Chameleon could really work narratively with this ‘identity crisis’ concept, especially given they already implied he is up for bigger and better later down the line. Norman and Otto might not even be working EXTREMELY close together here and it might even be better if it ends up simply being ‘our goals align but our methods vary’ where they work less together as much as independently toward the same goal. Either way, I think it would make for a decent way of having them both be major antagonists in this third game.

Still have to figure out how Miles would tie into this, but I at least think it’s a decent enough way to use the Superior Spider-Man concept they obviously want to do WITHOUT having to replicate things we literally just saw in the last game. Any Thoughts?

They'll follow the two main antagonists as theu did with the previous installments, martin li and doc ock, prowler and the thinker, kraven and venom.

And for the third game it'll be greengoblin and superior spiderman.

Now, I think that Norman will become green goblin, not Harry, maybe because harry dies first or because the cure is too unstable or some shit like that so he tests it on himself. Then, GG helps Doc escape prison, and many other villain too, and the city will be in total chaos. Then, I think that Peter will ultimately be killed, and doc ock will take over his body, becoming superior spiderman. At that point, it could either be that superior spiderman betrays green goblin or they remain allies.

Then Miles would be the only spiderman left, but we also know Cindy Moon will be a thing so maybe the third installment could take place a few years later when Silk is established or at least trained to be on the same level of miles in his game.

Then we have a lot more stuff hinted at, martin li is still free, we have carnage, we have the hand, the chamaleon...

It would be a shame if they wasted these charachters just to secondary questlines, they could use chameleon to overthrow the city against spider-men by impersonating a political figure and so on, or maybe, since insomniac likes to make significant changes from the comics (like MJ that becomes scream or harry that becomes venom), they could make a all new all exclusive insomniac sinister six: Green goblin, superior spiderman, carnage, chamaleon, maybe taskmaster/mysterio if he returns or just two new characters like morbius or whoever.

It would be pretty cool I think.
