New 'Amazing Spider-Man' Trailer - Enter Rhino!

Matt Sager, Comics Cavern — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 21:23:58 +0000

As if The Lizard weren't enough, Spider-Man goes up against the scariest looking version of The Rhino I've seen yet in this trailer for the new Amazing Spider-Man game.

Unlike all of the other cross-species, which were created after Curt Connors terrorized the city as the Lizard, Rhino was the result of a pet project belonging to a corrupt Oscorp executive with access to Connors’ research. Abusing this access, he applied this top-secret knowledge to black-market dealings.

Without the knowledge or consent of his superiors at Oscorp, the executive forcefully enlisted the help of Dr. Michael Morbius, threatening to end the reclusive biochemist’s career if he refused to help. Morbius reluctantly complied, applying the rhinoceros DNA with which the executive supplied him to a cross-species serum similar in nature to Connors’ own for the Lizard.

The Amazing Spider-Man game picks up immediately after the events of the upcoming movie, so we'll likely be meeting several villains who weren't in the film - but who we can hope will appear in future sequels. The game hits stores on June 26, 2012.

I've been a comics fan my whole life. So I took what I knew of the history of Batgirl and Supergirl and Wondergirl.

And taking a real approach, a fun and funny approach to what it's like to be a teenage girl, and mixing that up with a superhero [story.]
