Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has launched, with fans once again taking control of the web-slinging hero as he battles his way through villains and daily life, too. While many well-known characters feature throughout the game, the final moments hint at another big player joining the franchise, either in Spider-Man 3 or another game.

Be warned, this article will include major spoilers for Spider-Man 2 and from the comics. For those still playing through the game and are trying to avoid any details before getting there themselves, we will now be delving into major spoiler territory.

At the end of Mile Morales’ post-credits scene of Spider-Man 2, the hero is introduced to Rio’s new love interest, who the subtitles identify as Albert Moon. After Albert first appears, he introduces his daughter, a young woman named Cindy.

While we only see the back of her head before the screen fades to black, the name paired with the brief design we do see makes it very clear who this is. 

So why is this Cindy character such a big reveal? Cindy Moon is the secret identity of a superhero named Silk. Created by writer Dan Slott and artist Humberto Ramos in 2014, Silk has appeared in numerous major comic book events since then, but this is her first appearance in Insomniac’s gaming universe.

Cindy Moon makes her first full appearance in 2014’s Amazing Spider-Man #4. Cindy Moon is a Korean-American student bitten by the same radioactive spider as Peter Parker. After being bitten, she’s hidden away in a bunker for years to protect her from Morlun, a multiversal vampire who fed on the blood of Spider-powered people.
