And that added to also in his stories he was hated and feared. Usually it was villains who had a full mask. “I think most superheroes before him either had a domino mask or no mask. When he was invented his creators got in trouble and they got yelled at, and people said: what are you doing? You have this character who first of all has a full mask over his face like he’s a robber - and that was one of his strengths cos then anyone could imagine themselves under that mask…
People had never seen people like and their attitudes were so refreshing and their music was so amazing, it was like a lightning bolt. We always say it was like when The Beatles came to America. But at the time when he was introduced in 1962, that’s not how things were. And people now take him for granted a little bit in that he’s very relatable and he’s very human. Line them up! I think the thought that was put into him is phenomenal.
I feel he is not only the greatest Marvel character, I think he’s the greatest superhero from any company - and to me, I think he’s the greatest character in all of fiction.”
If that red brick is on it then it’s got to be great. For us that applies to everything Marvel does, whether it’s comics or video games. And that agreement means it has to be great. You may be like, I don’t know what Black Panther is but it’s a Marvel Studios movie so it’s going to be great and I’m going to go see it.

I get to come in and talk about Spider-Man all day. “Well thank you! When I drive in to work each morning I try to take a moment where I think, oh my gosh! I’m still doing it, I’m still at Marvel, I get to work on characters I love, and now I get to work on video games, and it’s a new era, and we’re working with the best partners. He’s not wrong.Įxecutive Creative Director at Marvel in charge of video games - Bill, your job sounds pretty cool. “Bill can tell a tale…” says Insomniac Games’ Bryan Intihar affectionately when recalling their first conversation. He’s also not backward in coming forward. A 20-year Marvel staffer currently working as Executive Creative Director on Sony’s PS4 exclusive Spider-Man game, Bill Rosemann is such an effusive evangelist for his company and the character you can imagine Stan Lee ringing up him for advice.
