LittleBigPlanet, though marvellous, has thus far been Marvel-less. While we’ve been happy enough dressing our Sackboys and Sackgirls as animals, Incredibles, Solid Snake, Judge Dredd and Jack Sparrow, this hasn’t stopped the LBP community crying out for a tribute to Marvel Comics’ iconic characters. On July 7th, their pleas (and ours) will be answered.

From the aforementioned date, the folk at Media Molecule will release a total of four Marvel Costume Packs on the PlayStation Store over a period of four weeks - each pack featuring five fantastic costumes. Here is an alphabetised list of the 20 superheroes and supervillians that made the cut:

• Captain America
• Daredevil
• Doctor Octopus
• Elektra
• Ghost Rider
• Green Goblin
• Hulk
• Invisible Woman
• Iron Man
• The Human Torch
• Magneto
• Mystique
• The Punisher
• Rogue
• Spiderman
• Storm
• The Thing
• Thor
• Venom
• Wolverine

Not tempted? Well, there’s also a “magnificently massive” Marvel Level Kit on the agenda, consisting of four specially-crafted levels of adventure that will pit our courageous Sackheroes against the evil Magneto. As always, you can expect to unlock a generous hotchpotch of music items, objects, stickers, materials, and “a special ‘Rooftop’ background” to use when creating your own levels.
