We go behind the scenes on the making of THE BIGGEST MARVEL GAME OF ALL TIME! In this episode we explore how Marvel ditched Activision after 18 years to build a new franchise with Sony and Insomniac, how they set about creating an original Spider-Man universe separate from both the comic books and the movies, the designing of a new iconic costume, the incredible voice acting, the tear-jerking relationship between Peter Parker and Doc Ock, the cinematic musical score, the worldwide success of the game, AND the possibility for more Marvel games from the Insomniac gang!

We’re exploring the Ultraverse - a hidden corner of the Marvel Multiverse, and its forgotten team of superheroes! Forget about Iron Man, Spider-Man, Wolverine and The Avengers, it’s time to learn about Prime, Prototype, Nightman and The Ultraforce! Before the MCU, Hollywood went through a massive comic book boom in the early 90’s, as comics like The Mask, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and The Crow became big hits! Marvel Comics bought out one of their competitors, Malibu Comics, and merged their Ultraverse into the Marvel Universe! This launched Ultraforce the animated series, a video game and even a line of action figures! But it wasn’t long before Marvel cancelled Ultraforce and all the other Ultra-Heroes, making sure they’d never be seen ever again!  Who were Ultraforce? Why did Marvel buy Malibu Comics only to shut them down? And why has Marvel tried to forget they ever existed?
