Insomniac has already dropped a great list of villains in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. And from Sinister Six to Venom, almost half of the Spidey Universe’s villains are there in the game. But this doesn’t end here. This is because of Insomniac’s recent surprise revelation of Sandman in the game. In a recent trailer by PlayStation, fans spotted our friendly neighborhood superhero fighting against this epic villain.

Sandman is a known antagonist of Spider-Man. His original name is Flint Marko and he made his debut appearance in the film, Spider-Man 3.

And now with his presence in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, fans are surely overjoyed. Sandman appeared as a professional criminal who also happens to kill Peter’s uncle Ben Parker. Sandman is not really a villain as his story offers his criminal offenses for taking care of his cancer-stricken daughter. Since a fan posted the clip on X (former Twitter), there has been a storm in social media- “Sandman is jaw dropping in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2″

It seemed people were already a fan of the game.

The difference in the quality of games from a fanbase that actually pays full price for a game vs people who get them on Welfarepass is staggering. 👌💪
