Spider-Man is going to die in edge of time. Have fun!

What's so interesting about edge of time? Well, for one, Spider-Man is going to die. If you are a fan of comic books and superheroes (like me) then you will know that one of the most, if not the most, iconic figures in the marvel universe is indeed Spider-Man. Although, this isn't the first time he's ever died. In the Amazing Spider-Man #500 he does in fact see himself in the future beaten to death (although this outcome will change because of his deal with Mephisto) and recently, Ultimate Spider-Man was shot through the chest by the Punisher. So what's the deal with Spider-Man dying in the new game? You have to play as Peter Parker, as he is dying. I've seen various demos and they have this to reveal. As you fight Anti-Venom, he takes damage and so do you. But there is no point where health is dropped for you, you just keep fighting. Eventually, Anti-Venom will jump on you and take power from Spider-Man. He then gets all his health back and you lose more. He begins zapping your strength and it becomes harder and harder to do damage. Eventually, your blows do virtually nothing. Anti-Venom will win out no matter what, but you can fight it out to the bitter end.
