Will a “Superior” Spider-Man survive the Age of Ultron? The insane android takes over the Marvel Universe in an upcoming series by Brian Michael Bendis and Bryan Hitch. Spider-Man will be one of the few heroes left standing to stand against the classic Avengers enemy. Christos Gage and Dexter Soy have been recruited to write Superior Spider-Man #6AU – a special tie-in issue that features a rematch of criminal scientific minds as the writer explains to Marvel.com.
“Otto is none too keen on someone other than him conquering the world. Especially Ultron. They met once before, in SECRET WARS, and it was not a friendly meeting—but at that time, Ultron had been deactivated by Galactus and was being controlled by Doctor Doom. So to Doc Ock, if Victor Von Doom—whose intellect is, clearly, inferior to that of Otto Octavius—could bring Ultron to heel, it should be child’s play for him. On the other hand, all around him is evidence of what Ultron has already done, and it’s hit the other heroes quite hard. So the question is, will Otto’s arrogance be his downfall, or will he be the one man confident enough to handle his business in the face of overwhelming tragedy?
Age of Ultron hits next month with three issues. For the entire interview and more art here’s the Marvel.com link.
