A Different Kind of Bag-Man

And of course, we’d be remiss not to note the Bombastic Bag-Man! Although there’s a bit of a riff here: this version of Bag-Man is a bit different to his comics version, with a Spider-Man themed suit to go with the bag over his head. In the comics, Bag-Man of course wears one of the Fantastic Four’s costumes—the mystery hero is “born” in Amazing Spider-Man #258, and it’s because he’s currently wearing his black Symbiote Suit. When Reed Richards removes the suit to examine the symbiote, Peter is left with returning home in a borrowed suit from Johnny Storm, complete with the bag-mask and a “kick me” sign on his back for good measure. Given the Fantastic Four is back in the hands of the House of Mouse, that probably explains the change here.
