Easter eggs in The Amazing Spider-man game

I finished The Amazing Spider-man game a couple of weeks ago ago and I then decided to do side missions. In one of the side missions, it involves a bank robbery and the person who planned this heist was none other than Felicia Hardy A.K.A The Black Cat (Read up on her if you don't know about the greatest thief who has ever lived). This is way before Felicia becomes Black Cat.
In the game, Felicia has varied weapons, going from smoke peletts to electric-charged bombs, to henchmen for that matter. Black Cat is also very acrobatic and very difficult to catch with all the back flips.
Once you manage to catch Felicia, she then asks how Spidey got his powers and asks if she might have the chance to join the animal kingdom. Spidey denies about telling her, but Oscorp then slips out and she deduces of where he got his abilities. Once you take her to the cops, you think it's over with Felicia... Well you're wrong. In one of the side missions for taking pictures, you have to go to the scene of yet another robbery.
You are told to take pictures of claw marks on the walls, a cat paw print on the sign of the jewelry store and a note addressed to old Web head stating "Miss me Spider-man" with a kiss below the message. Whitney Chang (Reporter) also states that this is among the many robberies which have occurred by the same person during the week.


Another easter egg which appears in the game is a reference of Sandman. Sandman A.K.A Flint Marko A.K.A William Baker has the ability to manipulate and control sand. 
Like with other easter eggs, you find the reference of Sandman where you have to take pics. The easter egg for Sandman's appearance was in Central Park, where there were multiple sand slides. In one of these sand slides, a young girl was pulled in. Witnesses said that the sand seemed to be alive.


Once again, another easter egg was found by Whitney Chang. She said that witnesses found some sort of being emerge from the sewer. The plate which is laid on top of the sewer entrance was thrown at the building with such force that it dented the building. Witnesses also say that the water from a fire hydrant came alive and the creature disappeared. When taking the pictures, you also find a hand print.
For those of you who are not familiar with TV shows or comics, this "creature" is indeed Hydro-Man A.K.A Morris "Morrie" Bench has the ability to manipulate and control water (almost like Sandman, but with a different element).


You probably know how I know about this easter egg, because it has been the same for the last three. This one is an easter egg for Mister Negative. Mister Negative A.K.A Martin Li has superhuman strength and the ability of healing by touch.
Mister Negative is said to be some sort of spirit. On a wall, it states "I was never born, so I am ever living".


There is an easter egg for The Vulture. There were witnesses of a bird the size of a man grabbing a hot dog stand. On top of the building you will find a huge nest, some green, sharp looking feathers and the hot dog stand which the creature grabbed. 
In the comics/TV show The Vulture is actually a man just wearing a green flight suit. The original Vulture was named Adrian Toomes. There have been many other Vultures also.


Man-Wolf also has his own little easter egg. Man-Wolf also known as John Jameson. John Jameson came across a ruby on the Moon which turns him into Man-wolf. As Man-wolf, he has super-human strength, speed and agility, but not the intellect of Jameson.  
In the game, you're told to go to the top of the Daily Bugle and you will find huge dog footprints, claw marks and shredded clothes.



There are references of multiple characters from Spidey's world going from Otto Octavius (Doc Ock) to the "Black Goo" A.K.A The Symbiote which was found on the tip of a space shuttle. Octavius attaches the Symbiote... I mean the Black Goo to Scorpion. He also named Scorpion MAC (My Amazing Creation) which he thought was clever. Funny enough, the Scorpion in the comics is in fact called Mac Gargan!
