"Fans of the Clone War should be pleased that Scarlet Spider IS in the game!"

"And finally, yes it's confirmed that you will see Spider-Man in his black Symbiote costume in the game. We aren't allowed to show that to you yet, but we assure you that you'll see it soon enough..."

"You can thank Tony Stark - aka Iron Man - for this superb outfit that's particularly good for melee fighting."

This would also fit in with the "War Machine" costume for Iron Man comment:

In fact, one of Iron Man’s costumes turns him into a different playable
character entirely…

Of course, going back to the Scarlet Spider, there's a similar questionable skin for my personal fav Captain America -- "The Captain" (later co-opted into the equally I-don't-care character US Agent) -- What, Nomad was "too lame"?

Of course, this could change a bit, since there are still 5-6 more characters to reveal between now and October 24th (Hawkeye, Iron Man, and Mr. Fantastic have already been revealed, and with print ads showcasing The Thing, I'm expecting him, too).

Except Cap. Cap won't change ...
