Unveiling the Mystery: The Ultimate Spider-Man Game Question That Continues to Puzzle Fans

Highlights

The identity of who hired Taskmaster in the first Marvel's Spider-Man game remains a mystery, leaving gamers curious and speculating.

Most Redditors do not believe that high-profile heroic groups such as the Avengers, Fantastic Four, and X-Men would have enlisted Taskmaster for this particular mission. The potential contenders for the contractor role include S.H.I.E.L.D., Norman Osborn, A.I.M., and Kraven the Hunter, among others. However, the question still remains unanswered.

Gamers are still pondering over the identity of the individual responsible for hiring the Taskmaster in the original Marvel's Spider-Man game prior to the release of its sequel. The Taskmaster Challenges, recurring side activities in the 2018 Spider-Man game, have sparked much speculation regarding the person who enlisted the services of this villain to investigate the game's protagonist. Unfortunately, only a few hints have been provided thus far, leaving this question shrouded in mystery. Marvel's Spider-Man is widely regarded as one of the finest Spider-Man games ever created. Its vast open world and seamless web-swinging mechanics have quickly made it a favorite among fans. The game's success has led to the development of a standalone spinoff centered around the character Miles Morales, as well as an upcoming sequel set to be released later this year. Nevertheless, this acclaimed title has left a certain enigma unresolved.

The question of Taskmaster's employer was raised by Fantastic_Orchid3037 on Reddit. Taskmaster, in the game, is pursuing Spider-Man to gain information about him. Eventually, after Spider-Man completes challenges and battles Taskmaster, the web-slinger is informed that he is being pursued because someone paid Taskmaster a large sum of money. Taskmaster explains that "they" were interested in hiring Spider-Man but wanted to test him first. However, the game concludes without Spider-Man receiving a job offer or uncovering the identity of the mastermind behind this plan.

While Fantastic_Orchid3037 speculated that well-known heroic groups like the Avengers, Fantastic Four, or X-Men may have been involved, most Redditors disagreed. It doesn't make sense for these morally upright organizations to hire a villain to test or harm Spider-Man. However, according to Sweet-Potato-987, it is possible that S.H.I.E.L.D. could have been responsible since Nick Fury doesn't necessarily adhere to the same ethical code as the heroes. There were also other reasonable guesses, such as Norman Osborn, who has a complex relationship with Spidey and may be fixated on him, as suggested by DriverFirm2655. Some even speculated that A.I.M. or Kraven the Hunter could be behind it. Nonetheless, the question remains unanswered for now.

In the highly anticipated game Marvel's Spider-Man 2, players can hope to uncover some answers to this enigma. Set to be released in 2023, this direct sequel will feature the dynamic duo of Peter Parker and Miles Morales as they face formidable foes like Kraven the Hunter and Venom. With the promise of even more captivating action sequences, immersive open-world exploration, and the ability to play as both protagonists, Spider-Man 2 is set to be one of the most thrilling games of the year. Currently, Marvel's Spider-Man is available for PC, PS4, and PS5.
