By now, you've probably seen all the major Spider-Man: Brand New Day Easter eggs, references, and cameos.
From the Fisk poster to the nods to Marvel's comic book history, and parallels to Insomniac's Spidey games, there's enough there for the Spidey-Senses to tingle on any webhead fanatic.
But over on Reddit, one lesser-spotted Damage Control curio has cropped up – and ignited a debate over its identity.
As you can see below, the top floors of Damage Control HQ contain various assorted instruments and experiments. One of those includes a rather grisly skull, which certainly isn't of human origin.

The original poster, who admits they're still trying to figure out what exactly it is, gives the Lizard as a possible answer.
The villain, first introduced in 1963's The Amazing Spider-Man #6, rapidly became a fearsome member of Spider-Man's rogues' gallery, even appearing in live-action in The Amazing Spider-Man and later in Spider-Man: No Way Home.
We, and others, disagree. Instead of the Lizard, it appears to be the remains of the Chitauri, the alien species used by Loki to kickstart an invasion of Earth during 2012's The Avengers. The extraterrestrials have some shared history with Spider-Man too, with their tech being stolen as part of Spider-Man: Homecoming's plot.
Still, the question remains as to what Damage Control is up to. Brand New Day proved they are, again, up to no good when it comes to tracking and experimenting on mutants. If they're keeping aliens out in the open, what else are they keeping behind closed doors? Maybe we don't want to know.
