Adamantium Reward: Spider-Man Noir (New Hero)
Bio: In an alternate reality still in the midst of the Great Depression, the Goblin murdered Ben Parker for encouraging a strike on the local sweatshops. Seeking justice, Peter Parker became an investigative journalist in an attempt to expose the corruption in New York. One evening, Peter was investigating a warehouse where the Goblin's henchmen were housing stolen artifacts. An ancient artifact of a spider statue broke open, releasing a swarm of spiders hidden within. One of these spiders bit Peter causing him to pass out and dream of an ancient spider god. When Peter came to, he discovered that he had been gifted with arachnid-like superpowers. Donning a costume using parts of his Uncle Ben's World War I airman uniform, he became the violent vigilante, The Spider-Man.

Infiltrator's Flight Suit Update
Work continues on fixing and testing the Infiltrator's Flight Suit (Vibranium reward from Season 21) to make sure it's an awesome new feature in the game. The following in-game changes have been made to the suit so far:
 * The action to call the S.H.I.E.L.D. mech has been disabled (temporarily) to prevent the possibility of abuse in PvP
 * The S.H.I.E.L.D. Mech Armor passive has also been removed for similar reasons
 * We are also replacing the Vibranium reward in Season 22 with an exclusive Empowered Iso-8 (see 'Vibranium Reward: Combatant Empowered Iso-8' above)

We are committed to fixing the S.H.I.E.L.D. Mech feature and hope to complete those fixes in the near future. We'll update you as things develop. Thank you for your understanding.
