Ultimate Spidey in Edge of Time

Spider-Man: Edge of Time's getting a third character (of sorts).

New screens for the Marvel platformer have swung in today, revealing that an alternate costume will be available for the wall-crawler to tie in with the newly launched Ultimate Spider-Man comic series that was released this week.

The significance of the outfit is that it's donned not by Peter Parker but by his successor Miles Morales; the publishing company killing off the original (Ultimate version of) the web-slinger and replacing him with the new character as part of a storyline over the last couple of months, in a move that's caused plenty of chatter on the interwebs since the decision was announced.
