COMICS: The Superior Spider-Man Joins Luke Cage's "Mighty" Team In Latest INFINITY Teaser
As we expected, the teaser image released yesterday has been updated to include the second member of Luke Cage's "Mighty" new team of Avengers, and we now know that the Superior Spider-Man (Otto Octavius) will align himself with this group of Earth's Mightiest Heroes. Read on for details!
When Earth is attacked by Thanos in Jonathan Hickman's Infinity this summer, only a small group of Earth's Mightiest Heroes will be left to protect the Earth. Yesterday, a "Mighty" new team led by Luke Cage was teased by Marvel, and today it has been revealed that the Superior Spider-Man will be joining him. If you once again use Marvel's AR app on this image, you'll get a message from editor Tom Brevoort in which he explains why Otto Octavius decided to join Cage's team of Avengers. "Today's mystery character is the Superior Spider-Man, a very different flavor of Spider-Man than the typical hero we've come to know and love," he says in the recorded message to fans. "Doctor Octopus has commandeered his body and is using it to carry out his own particular interpretation, his brand of what begin a hero is. During the course of the Infinity catastrophe, he is on Earth in the center of New York. it's his city. He's got it rigged with spider-cameras, spider-bots and spider-minions and there's no way anybody's going to be attacking his place without his intervention." What do you guys think?
