LittleBigPlanet’s Marvel Comics Character List Announced

At last year’s Comic Con it was announced that LittleBigPlanet would be blessed with some kind of Marvel Comics Pack to play with at some point in the future. Details remained scant. Today, Marvel itself announced the full character list of costumes for download, as well as a start date of July 7th. Four characters will be release then, with four additional ones every week after that. In addition to the costumes, there will be a Marvel Level Kit, where players must adventure through comic-book themed levels in an attempt to stop some nefarious plan by Magneto. These levels will be full of creation tools to gather up so that players can make their own super-hero levels. Media Molecule has even included a much-needed rooftop background to provide the perfect setting for some heroic shenanigans.

The full list of costumes coming to the PSN is:

• Captain America
• Daredevil
• Doctor Octopus
• Elektra
• Ghost Rider
• Green Goblin
• Hulk
• Invisible Woman
• Iron Man
• The Human Torch
• Magneto
• Mystique
• the Punisher
• Rogue
• Spider-Man
• Storm
• The Thing
• Thor
• Venom
• Wolverine

I’m a little curious if this will involve any flight powers, or the specific powers of each hero or supervillain period, but no details were announced in that regard. Starting Monday the 28th, Marvel.com will unveil the glorious details for each costume, and this could be the just thing that gets me back into LittleBigPlanet! Look for me playing Thor Sackboy.
