Marvel's Spider-Man Easter Egg Refers to Ant-Man

Easter egg within Marvel's Spider-Man makes reference to Hank Pym, better known as superhero Ant-Man.

Aside from exploring many popular Marvel properties, 2018 PlayStation 4-exclusive action-adventure game Marvel's Spider-Man from developer Insomniac Games has a lot of references to other movies and video games media.

Even after 18 months of its release, enthusiastic fans are still seeing new Easter eggs hidden in-game. Most recently, Reddit user SuperiorArachnid has pointed out an open nod to Hank Pym that he saw no one else mentioning so far.

This newfound Easter egg is an award recognizing technological achievements of OsCorp CEO Norman Osborn in medical science field. He won an accolade from Pym Foundation that is signed by Henry "Hank" Pym, original Ant-Man.

Norman has probably come up with these medical innovations to save his only son Harry Osborn from a terminal illness throughout entire plot. Hank Pym is known for discovering Pym Particle and probably has no idea what Osborn is up to.

Though majority of Easter eggs in Spider-Man PS4 requires you to put a bit of hustle but this one is discovered fairly easily. If you have played through its story then you might recall playing "Step Into My Parlor" mission to spot this image.

Mary Jane Watson and Spider-Man broke into New York mayor Osborn's apartment in order to find any potential traces of his wrongdoing and players can see many of his achievements and awards hanging on wall of his living room there.

Adding this sneaky little detail into a game only shows how deeply Insomniac Games cared about all related properties of Marvel. Many major AAA dev team or publication probably won't even care this much for that project to be successful.

According to a report from NPD Group, Marvel's Spider-Man became best-selling superhero video game of all time last year by outselling Batman: Arkham City and Sony is currently planning for a sequel to release on PlayStation 5 console.
