The Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Hybrid Calibration puzzle during the Heal the World mission is a science experiment for the Emily-May Foundation, where Harry and Doctor Foster ask you to modify plant DNA to create special kinds of crops. Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has this kind of puzzle come up a few times, so this acts as a kind of tutorial to get to grips with the system itself. If you want to know how about gene splicing 101, here's our guide on how to solve the Spider-Man 2 Hybrid puzzle, and how you can set yourself up for the further puzzles ahead.

The Spider-Man 2 Hybrid puzzle you do at the EMF foundation for Harry and Dr. Foster is solved by slotting certain DNA qualities together. The trick is that you need to fulfil the minimum conditions for certain qualities, but it doesn't matter if you go over – for example, note how there's two "leaf" icons in the third puzzle, despite needing only one, and it's still a successful combination. 

The lines on the outside of the hexagon determine what they can sync up with – three lines can only click with three lines, etc. We've put the solutions to all three stages above, in the specific order that you'll encounter them, from left to right.

There'll be more puzzles of this type later on, particularly if you pursue the Spider-Man 2 EMF Experiments that unlock later, so it's worth keeping these ideas in mind even after finishing up – this is the tutorial to a longer-lasting gameplay mechanic.
