Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is set to release on October 20 for PS5. Many critics have described the game as incredible and one of the best superhero games ever, and players are intrigued to get their hands on the title. Spider-Man 2 brings Peter Parker and Miles Morales together as they take on villains to protect New York City.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has already become Insomniac’s highest-rated release, with a Metascore of 91. There is much for players to look forward to in the game, but they can also recreate the iconic Spider-Man point with other Spider-Man memes. The Spider-Man pointing meme is quite popular and has taken over the internet in the past.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Lets Players Recreate the Spider-Man Pointing Meme
This Marvel meme has been popular for some time, and Peter Parker and Miles Morales can now bump into each other and recreate it. Spider-Man 2 lets players switch between Peter and Miles, and when players play as one character, they can find the other character stopping a crime or roaming around the city.
Players can join in and help the other Spider-Man in whatever they are doing and give each other the pointing meme after the task is done. The meme was also featured in the Spider-Man: No Way Home movie. It has now made its way to Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, and players can encounter the other Spider-Man during open-world activities to recreate the meme.

The Spider-Man encounter with the other character is random, and players cannot trigger it in any way. However, players are very likely to come across the other character during fights or some other activities and trigger the interaction with the fellow Spidey to reenact the popular meme.
Fans had hoped to be able to recreate this meme when the ability to switch between characters was announced, and Insomniac listened to them. It is a nice touch to the game, making Spider-Man 2 a more enjoyable gaming experience. Fans have loved the Spider-Men pointing their fingers at each other, and their laughter after the meme is icing on the cake.
The Story Behind the Iconic Spider-Man Pointing Meme
The Spider-Man pointing meme has been making the rounds on the internet and has also been reused for various purposes. The meme has been around for a long time, but many do not know how it came to be or where it originated from. The meme’s presence in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has only made players more curious, and the history of it is worth knowing.
The Spider-Man pointing meme has been reenacted many times, originating from the 19th episode called “Double Identity” in the classic 1967 animated series. Many would not know about the animated series as the character has been seen in more cartoons than any other character, but to help those interested, the theme song of the series is considered the best.
The animated series was titled Spider-Man and ran on ABC for two seasons. In the “Double Identity” episode, a criminal disguised himself as Spider-Man, and when the actual superhero was voiced by Paul Soles, the finger-pointing began that later took the shape of a meme and has been popular since.
The first instance of the meme appearing was sometime in 2011 and was part of a collection of 1960s Spider-Man pictures. The pointing meme image has survived for so long while other images dwindled and have been used by fans, celebrities, and many more people.
The meme was recreated in the Into the Spider-Verse animated movie, where Spider-Man from Earth-67 and Spider-Man 2099 end up arguing and pointing fingers. It was also featured in No Way Home, and the ability to recreate the meme in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has brought it into the spotlight again.
