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.

A brand new Defenders Event launches today for Marvel Heroes Omega.

The new event finds players facing off against members of The Hand for a variety of limited-time rewards. Today’s update also introduces Elektra as a new playable hero. The infamous assassin’s entry marks the 41st hero to join the title’s growing roster of playable characters from the Marvel Universe on consoles. To celebrate, Gazillion will also introduce the new Hell’s Kitchen Loot Box, featuring new console costumes for Elektra, Daredevil, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and Punisher.

In addition, players can also look forward to the imminent debut of the Omega Prestige system for Marvel Heroes Omega. Starting soon, players may unlock “Omega Prestige” status for select heroes. Omega Prestige marks the culmination of a hero’s journey and extends the leveling process considerably. The first hero eligible for Omega Prestige will be Spider-Man with plans to make more heroes available for Omega Prestige in future updates. Achieving Omega Prestige with Spider-Man -- and other characters down the road -- unlocks some of the most powerful and visually stunning benefits currently available in Marvel Heroes Omega.

Expect more details on the Omega Prestige system and how it works on our official website soon.
