Rather heartwarmingly, when asked by a fan whether it gets old knowing that he designed something that millions of people will see, McKelvie responded, “My mum asked if it was a commercial game when I showed her the design and I said yes it’s sold like 14 million copies.”
This isn’t the first time that McKelvie has worked with Marvel, as he’s spent the better part of the past decade working on comics, whether it was Cable (2009) #11 and #12, Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man #150, Secret Avengers #16, or even Young Avengers. It’s not even his first rodeo with games, as he also worked on Positech’s Kudos 2 way back in 2006.
McKelvie is even responsible for the relaunch design of Captain Marvel in 2013, as well as Kamala Khan’s Ms. Marvel outfit. Naturally, Insomniac brought him into the fold to work on Marvel’s Spider-Man, where he hit it off with fans and developers alike. Hopefully, he’ll be brought back again for the sequel.
