Invincible had its season 2 finale this week, and while it couldn’t pull off the comic’s Spider-Man cameo, the show’s parody version is now a playable mod.
Spoilers ahead for both the comic version and show version of Invincible.
Fans were eagerly awaiting the arrival of Invincible’s season 2 finale earlier this week, and not just because they were excited to see the comic’s events unfold on screen. In the original comic, there’s a scene where Mark Grayson, Invincible himself, is warping from universe to universe as he’s fighting villain Angstrom, and in one particular panel you can see Spider-Man’s arm, as a fun little nod to the character. Previous Spider-Man voice actor Josh Keaton had even teased that he was set to appear in Invincible, so fans were wondering if he would be reprising the role as a cameo. As it turns out, though, he actually played Agent Spider, a character that is definitely not Spider-Man.

I love how indie games like Invincible can pay homage to iconic characters like Spider-Man in their own unique way. It’s always interesting to see how different creators interpret and incorporate well-known elements into their own worlds. Do you have any other examples of indie games that have cleverly referenced popular characters or franchises? Let’s discuss!
