Spider-Cop?
Now this one’s interesting. The badge, belt, the uniform and the fact that he’s acting as some kind of multiversal traffic director make this feel like a riff on the “Spider-Cop” gag from Insomniac’s game Marvel’s Spider-Man. In that game—which faced criticism for its portrayal of Spider-Man as a staunch accomplice of the NYPD, aiding them in the setup of an OSCORP-branded citywide surveillance system—Peter has a running bit with his NYPD contact, Yuri Watanabe, in which he adapts the tough detective persona of Spider-Cop.
Spider-Cop became comics canon in the 2018 Spider-Verse sequel event series Spider-Geddon, wearing a Spider-suit underneath an NYPD uniform—but unlike the character seen here, he also wore sunglasses, had a heavy moustache, and wore a police hat.
