A new image giving us a better look at Dane DeHaan’s Green Goblin has been released, courtesy of FindAnyFilm.com. This marks the best look at Spidey’s arch-enemy from The Amazing Spider-Man 2 yet, and it further hints at how the character may appear.

The upcoming sequel is lousy with villains. It features Electro, Rhino, the Green Goblin, and possibly others, including the Spider-Slayer robots. In terms of Spider-Man lore though, there are none bigger than the Green Goblin. Norman Osborn, the first Green Goblin in the comics, is played by Chris Cooper in the coming film, but it’s Norman’s son Harry (DeHaan’s role) who will be wearing the Goblin’s mask. Harry has frequently taken up the mantle in the comics, and the film seems to be following that path, as we’ve seen teased in previous trailers and images.

Traditionally, the character of the Green Goblin wears a green, goblin-like mask. It appears that DeHaan is not in the looks we’ve had so far at director Marc Webb’s film. Instead, the character looks, well, crazy. Or at least crazed. In the comics, the original Green Goblin was born after Norman Osborn injected himself with a combination of chemicals. It gave him super strength, but also warped his mind. That may be the case in the film as well, but we won’t know for sure until it is released on May 2, 2014.

Where to find Aunt May’s grave in Spider-Man 2

Peter visiting his aunt and uncle's graves.

Peter Parker has had a hard life. He was orphaned by his parents as a child and raised by his caring Aunt May and Uncle Ben, only for Ben to be killed in an act that would shape Spider-Man's entire philosophy as a hero. Things only get worse during the events of the first act of Insomniac's Spider-Man 2 as Aunt May is tragically killed as well, leaving Peter with no more true parental figures. Peter hasn't forgotten all his caring aunt and uncle have done for him, and if you can find their gravesite, he will pay them respect, as well as earn you a Trophy. It's a big graveyard, though, and their site isn't marked on the map. Here's where Uncle Ben and Aunt May's graves are located in Spider-Man 2.

The graveyard is located at the most-northeastern point on the New York map in Harlem. If you have unlocked fast travel in this district, you can warp almost directly to the spot. Once in the graveyard, go forward down the middle into the open field. You might spot Mile's father's grave first. May and Ben's graves are directly to the right of that.

All suits in Spider-Man 2 and how to get them

Peter and Miles standing on a bridge

In the decades that the character of Spider-Man has existed, through comics, TV shows, games, and movies, he's gone through quite a few suits. Spider-Man 2 keeps the tradition alive by not only giving him a new suit to try out, but dozens and dozens of older ones to let you play as your favorite version of the webslinger. Oh, and did we mention Miles has his own extensive set of suits as well? Just like the first game, you won't be handed the keys to the wardrobe for free. Each suit not only needs to be unlocked but also crafted using City and Hero Tokens, as well as Tech parts to get access to the additional styles most suits have. If you're itching to dress up as the Spider-Man of your dreams as soon as you can, here is every suit in Spider-Man 2 and how you unlock them.

Note: Some suits are unlocked via story progress and could be considered spoilers. You have been warned.

How to solve molecular identification puzzles in Spider-Man 2

Peter and Miles leaping in the air in the city.

The character of Spider-Man is only half of what makes him so interesting. Peter Parker, the man behind the mask, is just as vital to the story as his alter ego in Spider-Man 2. Just as he is in the comics and the first game, Peter is a scientist by trade, and Miles Morales is following in his footsteps in many ways, which is the perfect excuse to introduce some new science-focused puzzles into the game. One new puzzle has you examining different scenes to try and work out what exactly happened so you can determine the materials that were left behind. This puzzle is thrown at the player rather quickly and without much explanation, so we're here to brush up your molecular knowledge so you can solve these with ease.
