The Age of Revelation hits keep on coming with the reveal of a pretty messed-up version of Spider-Man. When Marvel announced Age of Revelation, an X-Men event that comes on the 30th anniversary of Age of Apocalypse, one of the titles in the announcement was directly linked to Spider-Man. You might find that odd since Spider-Man usually isn’t involved in X-Men and mutant affairs, but Age of Revelation will take the Marvel Universe 10 years into a future where a new mutant utopia is created by Apocalypse’s heir, Doug Ramsey, aka Revelation. Of course, this utopia for mutants spells bad news for humans. The result is one of the more shocking changes to Spider-Man you’ll ever see.

One of the titles launching in Age of Revelation is Radioactive Spider-Man by current Amazing Spider-Man writer Joe Kelly and artist Kev Walker. The comic follows Spider-Man’s adventures in a world ravaged by the mysterious X-Virus. With New York decimated, Peter Parker takes a desperate gamble by dosing himself with lethal radiation to hold the infection at bay. While it does keep the virus at bay, it changes and transforms Spidey into what Marvel is calling “the most dangerous, mutated Spider-Man ever.”
Fans can get a glimpse of the Radioactive Spider-Man on Giuseppe Camuncoli’s cover of the first issue, arriving on October 22nd. A green and yellow radioactive symbol is in the background as Spider-Man swings with extra arms protruding from his sides.
Other Age of Revelation titles dropping on October 22nd include The Last Wolverine #1 by Saladin Ahmed and Edgar Salazar; Omega Kids #1 by Tony Fleecs and Andres Genolet; and X-Men: Book of Revelation #1 by Jed MacKay and Netho Diaz.
