Marvel's Spider-Man: Benchmarks Spider-Man Guide and Walkthrough
Last update: 20 September 2022
The following section of the guide contains a breakdown of the Benchmarks - smaller tasks, which yield some XP. You will complete most benchmarks without even knowing it - most of them happen "in the background," and virtually every move in the game is rewarded. Marvel's Spider-Man features the following benchmarks:

Each benchmark has three levels - for example, if you defeat 100 enemies with full health, you will unlock a benchmark with 250 and then 500 enemies. Only then the challenge may be completed. Don't bother to do the benchmarks on purpose - they don't give you a lot of experience and you don't have to do them to get the platinum trophy in the game.
