Yuri spiderman9/16/2023 ![]() ![]() This helped Cooper piece together that the new Wraith and Watanabe were one and the same. With Li forced to flee and the heist foiled, Carlie Cooper later revealed to Yuri at the crime scene that she'd been tracking Captain Watanabe with her phone, which she'd placed into Watanabe's pocket at an earlier time. Thus, Li was exposed for the master criminal he truly is, as the mask broadcast its findings to every TV, computer, and smart phone in range of broadcast. In the process, she used her costume's facial recognition tech to run a match on who Mr.Negative really was, and the result accurately came up Martin Li. Later, at a museum heist orchestrated by Mr.Negative, Yuri as the Wraith teamed up with Spider-Man and Anti-Venom to shut their operation down. Anti-Venom was stunned by the seeming revelation that Jean DeWolff really wasn't dead, and allowed her to escape in his confusion during a battle with Mr.Negative's thugs. She later ran afoul of Anti-Venom, who, back when he was just ordinary reporter, Eddie Brock, seemingly exposed Jean DeWolff's real killer, the Sin-Eater's true identity (The expose was later proven false, and caused Eddie's downward spiral that led to his becoming the original Venom). ![]() This (and the smoke emitting equipment of Mysterio's) helped convey her as a spirit of vengeance back from the grave to terrorize the New York City criminal underworld. She used the Wraith identity and Jean DeWolff mask, as well as the fear gas, to fight crime and scare criminals into confessions. She had acquired these items from an evidence room at police headquarters after an old pumpkin bomb "accidentally" went off and seemingly destroyed the equipment. Later, Yuri adopted the identity of the Wraith, using Mysterio equipment, including a mask of Jean DeWolff he intended to use later, and Mr.Fear's fear gas. Massacre's method's later led Watanabe to feel she had to up her game in order to contend with the more violent, dangerous criminals, which would lead to her adopting her own crime fighting identity. When Massacre struck later, Captain Watanabe was taken off the case under orders from Mayor J.Jonah Jameson, who'd wanted Massacre taken out for the senseless violence and death he'd caused. Spider-Man unfortunately forgot his spider-sense couldn't track the tracer her put on Massacre (he'd recently lost it) and the trail went cold for Spidey and the NYPD. She and Spider-Man allowed Massacre to get away so he wouldn't hurt of kill anymore hostages. After Spider-Man was struck by a bullet, she helped get him to safety. Massacre then blew up the west wing of the bank, killing seven of the hostages. Yuri subsequently engaged in a hostage stand-off between the madman known as Massacre. She was also on the scenes of Phil Urich as the new Hobgoblin's latest attacks, including the attack on Horizon Labs. She later investigated a gangwar between the Maggia (which had Mysterio pulling the strings of a Silvermane robot) and Mr.Negative's Inner Demons. Years later, she was on the scene to make arrests at a known bar occupied by supervillains, that had been broken up by Spider-Man and Daredevil. What she cares about is justice and putting bad guys behind bars, so if that means working with some quippy acrobat in a Halloween costume, so be it.īut in the comic books, Yuri’s commitment to justice goes even further.Ī few years after her debut in The Amazing Spider-Man #600 in 2009, Yuri donned the mask of “Wraith,” an identity wielded by other individuals in the Marvel Universe (all of whom have no relation to Watanabe’s version) in The Amazing Spider-Man #663 in 2011.īut in her pursuit of Mister Negative, Yuri concealed her identity using equipment from Mysterio and Chameleon, appearing as the “ghost” of Jean DeWolff even when she was unmasked.Captain Yuri Watanabe rose through the ranks with Jean DeWolff and under Captain George Stacy. Yuri doesn’t know the identity of Spider-Man, nor does she care. Yuri Watanabe, a no-nonsense cop in the NYPD. In Marvel’s Spider-Man, the web-slinger has a working relationship with Capt. Minor spoilers for Marvel’s Spider-Man ahead. In fact, the game has a secret superhero hiding in plain sight. ![]() However, if you take a dive into the comics, you’ll find that there’s more to Yuri than just being Spidey’s “person in the chair.” In the game, Yuri doesn’t have time for “Spider-Cop” nonsense, but she still comes in and out during gameplay and cutscenes in a fashion reminiscent of Barbara Gordon and Commission Gordon in the Batman: Arkham series. ![]() Throughout your time playing Insomniac Games’ insanely good Marvel’s Spider-Man for the PlayStation 4, you’ll get the occasional assist from hard-boiled NYPD Captain Yuriko “Yuri” Watanabe. ![]()
