In Marvel Heroes, players can collect and play as their favorite Marvel Super Heroes as they team up with friends to try to stop Doctor Doom from devastating the world with the power of the Cosmic Cube.

Featuring an original storyline created by Marvel super-scribe Brian Michael Bendis, players collect and play as iconic Marvel Super Heroes, including Iron Man, Thor, Wolverine, Hulk, Spider-Man, Captain America and many more. Players will be able to suit up as their favorite heroes in Spring 2013 to battle notorious Marvel Super Villains (Magneto, Doctor Octopus, Madame Hydra, the Kingpin and more) en route to stopping Doctor Doom from destroying the world with the power of the Cosmic Cube. 

Fire & Ice brings a brand new PvP combat mode to Marvel Heroes, pitting two teams of five players against one another. Players are tasked with guarding allied giants and defeating enemy giants as they move to destroy the opposing team’s base while protecting their own. During each battle, players receive Runestones for defeating enemy players and giants, which can be traded for offensive and defensive PvP buffs, as well as various utilities.

At the end of each match, players receive rewards (experience, credits, and more) based on the overall outcome and stats. By participating in Fire & Ice, players may also earn a new form of currency, Asgardian Crowns, which can be used to purchase a new tier of PvP items.

Gazillion also revealed that the kinetically charged, card-flinging X-man from Bourbon Street, Gambit, also makes his debut as a playable hero this month.
