Unveiling Deceased Antagonists: The Hidden Room in Spider-Man 2

A player of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 discovered a glitch that allowed them to escape the boundaries of the game and stumble upon a hidden room filled with trophies belonging to the antagonist Kraven the Hunter. This unexpected find may suggest the presence of a deceased villain who was not shown being killed on-screen. In the game, Kraven the Hunter ventures to New York City with the intention of hunting down and eliminating the super-powered individuals residing there. The existence of this glitched area implies that Kraven's hunt was even more successful than initially depicted in the game.

In Spider-Man 2, Kraven the Hunter confronts both Peter Parker and Miles Morales, while also targeting the numerous villains inhabiting New York City. Kraven successfully eliminates some members of Spider-Man's rogues gallery, most notably Scorpion. Additionally, it is revealed that he has off-screen kills attributed to Electro, Shocker, and Vulture.

A YouTube user named clkz has recently discovered a hidden dev room in Spider-Man 2 by exploiting glitches. This room potentially showcases a discarded trophy wall where Kraven the Hunter intended to showcase the severed heads of the supervillains he exterminated in New York. While the models are not fully completed, Kraven has already displayed the heads of Scorpion, Shocker, and Vulture, with Rhino taking center stage. Although there are indications in Spider-Man 2 implying the demise of Electro, Scorpion, Shocker, and Vulture, there is no similar evidence regarding Rhino's potential fate.

Rhino played a significant role in Spider-Man: Miles Morales, but his presence is not prominent in Spider-Man 2. It is speculated that Insomniac might have removed the Kraven trophy wall because they have plans to reintroduce Rhino in a future game. However, it is also possible that, according to the storyline of Spider-Man 2, Rhino is officially considered deceased. Only if Insomniac comments on this discovery or if a future game provides clarification will fans find out for certain.

In the Insomniac Spider-Man game universe, the story of Spider-Man 2 reveals that characters like Electro, Scorpion, Shocker, and Vulture, along with Kraven the Hunter, have met their demise. It is disclosed that Kraven's dangerous hunts in the game were actually a way for him to seek someone strong enough to defeat him before his terminal illness took over. Ultimately, Venom is responsible for Kraven's shocking death in one of the game's memorable scenes. Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is currently available for PS5.
