Spider-Man's crossover with Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater was preceded by a comic outing for the famous skater, establishing him as canon in Marvel Comics in an adventure starring Doctor Octopus and Carnage.

Nearly every ‘90s kid was exposed to the video game Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater and many would say that the sequel was arguably the most beloved in the whole franchise, but one thing players may not have known is that Spider-Man actually made the game Marvel Comics canon. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater was developed by Activision, the same gaming company that made PlayStation’s Spider-Man.

The prequel comic Spider-Man: Activision - To Trap A Spider! by TQ Jefferson, Brian Michael Bendis, Chris Gosset, and Tim Smith 3 set the stage for the events of the PS1 video game. In the game, Doctor Octopus creates an army of symbiotes using Carnage as his source. It is up to Spider-Man to stop Doc Ock before he takes control of the city.

This revelation isn’t the first time fans have seen Tony Hawk have a run-in with Marvel Comics. In the 1996 comic series Venom: The Hunted from Larry Hama and Duncan Rouleau, Venom is on the run from capture and decides to disguise himself as a skater. For a short time, he goes by the name Rad Eddie. Venom’s Rad Eddie disguise looked eerily like Tony Hawk, but the character wasn’t Hawk himself.

Since Spider-Man’s inclusion in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2, a few other Marvel superheroes became playable characters in the later games as well. The unkillable X-Man Wolverine is a playable character in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and players can suit up as Iron Man in Tony Hawk’s Underground. With other Marvel characters showing up in later Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater games fans are only given more proof that the universe of those games takes place within the Marvel multiverse.
