Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro was released for the PlayStation in 2001 as the sequel to the 2000 Spider-Man game, with Electro as the main villain planning to amplify his powers. The falling yell comes from the in game failure state when Spider-Man drops from a height, a common moment because of the rooftop swinging and platforming. Clips of PS1 era voice acting and death sounds later spread on soundboards and in meme edits, and this short scream survived because it works for any fall, not just a superhero one.
