50 free Marvel's Spider-Man (PS4) trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
Marvel's Spider-Man was Insomniac Games' first licensed title in 22 years, and it became the fastest-selling first-party game Sony had ever released. Set in its own Earth-1048, it gave players a 23-year-old Peter Parker eight years into the job, a white-spider suit built like compression wear, and a web-swinging system grown out of Sunset Overdrive. These 50 questions cover the story and the making of the game: Mister Negative and the Inner Demons, Devil's Breath, Otto Octavius's slide into Doctor Octopus, the Raft breakout and the Sinister Six, Aunt May's fate and Miles Morales's spider bite, plus the behind-the-scenes facts: the Sony executive who pitched Marvel to Ted Price, the E3 2016 reveal, the 800-tile map of Manhattan, Yuri Lowenthal's two voices, John Paesano's score, the puddle controversy, Stan Lee's cameo, the three City That Never Sleeps episodes, the PS5 remaster's new Peter face, the Across the Spider-Verse cameo and the Miles Morales and Spider-Man 2 sequels. Easy questions stick to the hero, the console and the villains; the hard ones ask about tokens, tile sizes, polygon counts and Japanese sales. Every answer is cited to a page we checked, with a short explanation so you learn something even when you miss. Play it solo or print it for a gaming quiz night.

Q 01In Marvel's Spider-Man (2018), the Perfect Dodge skill counters an attack with a web shot to which part of the enemy?
The face
The face. The dodge has to wait until the spider-sense halo flashes a second time, brighter and bluer, and the webbing then blinds the attacker long enough for Spider-Man to move in and hit back.
Q 02What does Peter hunt for across the city in Marvel's Spider-Man (2018) to recover keepsakes from his early days?
His old backpacks
His old backpacks. Peter stashed them around the city while still at high school and learning his powers, and each now yields a memento of an old adventure plus a token to spend on new suits.
Q 03Which supervillain leads the masked Inner Demons in their bid to seize New York's underworld in Marvel's Spider-Man (2018)?
Mister Negative
Mister Negative. His touch corrupts whoever it reaches, and the writers gave him a wrong to avenge, a childhood experiment that killed his parents, so that he would be 'a hero of his own story'.
Q 04What is the name of the deadly bioweapon at the centre of Marvel's Spider-Man (2018)?
Devil's Breath
Devil's Breath. Oscorp made it by accident while hunting a cure for a fatal inherited disease, and a child it was tested on survived with strange powers and a lifelong grudge.
Q 05Who voices Peter Parker in Marvel's Spider-Man (2018)?
Yuri Lowenthal
Yuri Lowenthal. He recorded Spider-Man's phone conversations twice, once calm and once out of breath, so the game can switch takes from one line to the next when the player starts swinging or fighting.
Q 06Which job does Marvel's Spider-Man (2018) give Peter?
Research assistant
Research assistant. Creative director Bryan Intihar said the team wanted 'a job that maybe people didn't expect', built on the scientific talent the comics have always given Peter.
Q 07Why does Marvel's Spider-Man (2018) skip Peter's origin story?
Everyone knows it
Everyone knows it. Lead writer Jon Paquette said 'everyone kind of knows Spider-Man was bitten by a spider', which let the story open on a seasoned hero of 23, the age when most people cross into adult life.
Q 08Who is Peter Parker's mentor and employer in Marvel's Spider-Man (2018)?
Otto Octavius
Otto Octavius. The writers made him a soft-spoken optimist and a friend, not the usual megalomaniac, so that his fall into villainy as Doctor Octopus would land as a tragedy.
Q 09What job does Mary Jane Watson hold in Marvel's Spider-Man (2018)?
Daily Bugle reporter
Daily Bugle reporter. The writers passed over her comic-book careers because none let her take an active part in the plot, whereas a journalist can chase the story herself, as she does in her own stealth missions.
Q 10Which villain does Spider-Man defeat in the opening mission of Marvel's Spider-Man (2018), creating a power vacuum?
Wilson Fisk
Wilson Fisk. Jailing the Kingpin backfires: he had boasted of being the one who kept order in the city, and with him gone the masked Inner Demons move in on his empire.
Q 11What is the homeless shelter run by Martin Li called in Marvel's Spider-Man (2018)?
F.E.A.S.T.
F.E.A.S.T. The writers tied the charity's kindly founder to the people Peter loves so that, when his other life comes out, the hero is squeezed from both sides at once.
Q 12Which office does Norman Osborn hold in Marvel's Spider-Man (2018)?
Mayor of New York City
Mayor of New York City. After an attack on his own re-election rally he hires Silver Sable's private army to take over from the police, and by the story's end he has resigned in disgrace.
Q 13Whose father is killed when the Inner Demons attack a ceremony honouring him in Marvel's Spider-Man (2018)?
Miles Morales's
Q 21J. Jonah Jameson has swapped newspapers for which medium to rant about the hero in Marvel's Spider-Man (2018)?
A podcast
A podcast. Co-writer Christos Gage scripted most of the rants, claiming 'a special insight into the voice of a grouchy middle-aged man', and used the phone-in show as a Greek chorus on events in the city.
Q 22What did Marvel leave Insomniac free to pick for the game that became Marvel's Spider-Man (2018)?
The superhero
The superhero. The team picked Spider-Man because, as creative director Bryan Intihar put it, a hero who makes mistakes is easier to relate to than a billionaire or a god.
Q 23Which earlier Insomniac game provided the traversal foundation for Spider-Man?
Sunset Overdrive
Miles Morales's. Officer Jefferson Davis had just been commended for helping Spider-Man foil a Demon raid; afterwards Peter befriends the grieving Miles and finds him volunteer work at a shelter.
Q 14Where is Martin Li imprisoned after his first defeat in Marvel's Spider-Man (2018)?
The Raft
The Raft. The supermax does not hold him long: a mass breakout frees him and four more of Spider-Man's old enemies, who join forces under a new leader as this game's Sinister Six.
Q 15Where does Doctor Octopus release the bioweapon in Marvel's Spider-Man (2018), starting the outbreak?
Times Square
Times Square. The release spreads sickness through the city, martial law is declared and Spider-Man is blamed for it, so the hero spends the last act as a fugitive in his own home town.
Q 16What is the name of the armoured suit Peter builds for the final battle of Marvel's Spider-Man (2018)?
Anti-Ock
Anti-Ock. Peter builds it after Doctor Octopus leaves him badly beaten, and unlike most suits in the game it has no comic-book ancestor: Insomniac's artists designed it from scratch.
Q 17What impossible choice confronts Peter at the end of Marvel's Spider-Man (2018)?
Save Aunt May or cure the city
Save Aunt May or cure the city. With a single dose of antidote, Peter gives it up to make a vaccine for everyone; her death echoes Uncle Ben's, caused this time by a selfless choice.
Q 18What does Miles reveal to Peter three months after the outbreak in Marvel's Spider-Man (2018)?
He has spider-like powers
He has spider-like powers. A lab spider that hitched a ride out of Norman's penthouse on Mary Jane's jacket had bitten him, and Peter replies by joining him on the ceiling.
Q 19Who is shown in stasis in Norman's secret lab in the final scene of Marvel's Spider-Man (2018)?
Harry Osborn
Harry Osborn. Friends think he is travelling in Europe; in truth he is dying of the illness that killed his mother, and a black, web-like substance in his tank stirs when his father touches the glass.
Q 20Whom does Stan Lee's cook call 'my favorites' in Marvel's Spider-Man (2018)?
Peter and MJ
Peter and MJ. Lee, who helped create both characters, plays a diner cook glad to see the estranged couple together again, so the writer is in effect talking to his own creations.
Sunset Overdrive. The 2014 game was an Xbox exclusive, yet its free-flowing movement system and its engine became the base on which PlayStation's web-swinging was built.
Q 24Which publisher had held the Spider-Man game licence since 2000 before Sony and Insomniac?
Activision
Activision. Marvel's games chief closed the 16-year chapter in a sentence, praising 'a long history of success' with the publisher before adding that Spider-Man's future on consoles lay elsewhere.
Q 25At which event did Sony first reveal Marvel's Spider-Man in 2016?
E3
E3. Marvel used the reveal at Sony's press conference to announce a change of strategy: no more games rushed out to meet a film's release date.
Q 26Which birds does the hero chase across the rooftops to earn Research Tokens in Marvel's Spider-Man (2018)?
Pigeons
Pigeons. They are the lost pets of Howard, a man evicted from his home, and Spider-Man has to out-fly each one across the skyline to return it and bank a token.
Q 27What did a fan persuade Insomniac to hide on a cinema marquee in Marvel's Spider-Man, with unhappy results?
A marriage proposal
A marriage proposal. The couple split up weeks before release and the message shipped anyway, so Insomniac offered to patch it out.
Q 28The 90-second 'Be Greater' advert for Marvel's Spider-Man premiered during the opening game of which league's 2018 season?
The NFL
The NFL. Sony bought the slot to launch the game like a blockbuster film: the kickoff broadcast drew some 19.5 million viewers, and its marketing chief called the advert one of the most expensive PlayStation had run.
Q 29Why is Manhattan in Marvel's Spider-Man (2018) cut into about 800 tiles?
Memory limits
Memory limits. The whole island would not fit in the console's memory, so tiles behind Spider-Man are dropped and those ahead swapped in, about one a second at top swinging speed.
Q 30What colour was added to Spider-Man's traditional red and blue for the Advanced Suit of Marvel's Spider-Man (2018)?
White
White. Art director Jacinda Chew treated the suit like athletic compression wear in which each colour is a different material, and white marks the toughest, a carbon-fibre-like armour over the chest, hands and feet.
