Alfred Molina’s portrayal in Spider-Man 2 immortalized the villain’s tragedy on the big screen. Molina’s Doctor Octopus starts out as a hero and a mentor to Peter Parker, loses control and becomes a full-fledged villain, and ultimately achieves a final act of redemption by sacrificing himself to undo his own catastrophic experiment. Marvel Zombies: Red Band ‘s Doc Ock might need to do something similar to save the Avengers from Zombie Phoe

In other Cap news: comic book insider Rich Johnston over at Bleeding Cool has been keeping careful eye on the June 17th release of Captain America #600 and the July 1st release of Reborn #1, two books which are rumored to feature the resurrection of the recently deceased Captain America . According to Rich Johnston, comic book retailers are being asked to order extra stacks of the two books, as they will allegedly tie in to a “major announcement.” Johnston speculates that the announcement could potentially involve the casting of Captain America in the movie. Up until now, many actors have been rumored for the role , but there’s been little hint as to a frontrunner. Be sure to check back with us often in the next few weeks to see if they announce which actor has snagged the r
As a pinball game, Marvel Pinball is as solid as they come. The physics featured in this game are identical to pinball machines you would find at your local arcade. Plus, you get to enter and record your high scores, compare them up against the world, compare them against your friends, and even the vibration feedback makes you feel that much closer to the real thing. You also have all the standards that come with a pinball table, including bumpers, rails, stand-up targets, etc. I especially like the fact that the game has the courtesy to move the Xbox Live notifications to the middle of the screen instead of at the bottom, because, if you know anything about pinball, you know that covering any part of the bottom of the screen could result in the loss of a ball. You lose three balls, and you’re out. Game o
Rumors have come in that Activision and Beenox are working on a new Spider-Man game , and it might be a sequel to Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 missions|https://spiderman2mix.com/: Shattered Dimensions . That game saw players going through four different Spider-Man comics universes; “regular” Earth 616, Ultimate, Noir and 2099. The biggest question raised by these recent rumors is easily “what universes are left?”
Spider-Girl is Spider-Man’s daughter May, all grown up! She originated in a “What If” comic, and then went on to receive her own book which became the longest running female-superhero book ever published by Marvel. This all takes place in an alternate look at the future where Peter has retired and May has taken up his mantle.
Today, Marvel gave us another big announcement – this time releasing a revised schedule for their upcoming feature films. The new schedule pushes each of their planned movies back except for **Iron Man 2 ** which is still scheduled to open May 7, 2
A dark version of Sam Raimi’s **Spider-Man 2 ** takes place in a different universe. Often regarded as the definitive Marvel movie and one of the best superhero movies in history, Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 2 placed Doctor Octopus as a top-tier supervillain. Alfred Molina’s Doc Ock wanted to push the boundaries of science, only to be turned into a monster by his own creati
This is an interesting version in that the title gives away the entire alternate reality’s premise. It’s Marvel heroes, if they were apes. It’s surprisingly pretty decent, and in this version Spider-Man is now Spider-Monkey. Not surprisingly, he’s a spider monkey.
The first Marvel Zombies comic run has Galactus trying to take over, as he is wont to do; although with considerably different results than usual. If the game followed this as the main storyline, there’s plenty of time travel and alternate dimensions that could explain why Spider-Man has to go to other dimensions.
If you ask comic book fans which Spider-Man universe was most criminally neglected in Shattered Dimensions , their answer is almost universally going to be the Marvel Zombies version.
