THIS MONTH IN MARVEL GAMES — APRIL 2023
MOBILE
MARVEL CONTEST OF CHAMPIONS
Villains come to the Contest!
Shocker
A gifted engineer turned expert safecracker, Herman Schultz was just a small-time criminal until he was captured and incarcerated. While tinkering in the prison workshop, he managed to construct a pair of gauntlets capable of firing compressed air as destructive shockwaves. Adopting the title of the “Shocker” and blasting his way out of prison, Shocker’s criminal exploits have since been a constant thorn in the side of his nemesis, Spider-Man. Things don’t always go his way, but no one can fault Shocker’s stubborn tenacity.
Sandman
Once a petty criminal known as William Baker (AKA "Flint Marko"), Sandman is a stalwart member of the Sinister Six and one of Spider-Man’s longest standing enemies. While on the run from the law, Baker was accidentally exposed to experimental radiation that destabilized his molecular make-up. Now, as the Sandman, he is capable of incredible acts of strength, can grow to massive sizes, and even shapeshift. He might not be the brightest of Spider-Man’s enemies, but he’s certainly the most imposing…as long as he can pull himself together.

MARVEL SNAP
4/18 Patch Update
Check out the latest updates that came to MARVEL SNAP this month!
Character Releases
MARVEL SNAP welcomed Snowguard and all her Animal Shapeshifting powers to the roster on 4/11!
"While in your hand, this transforms each turn into a Hawk or a Bear."
This incredible divine power is represented in MARVEL SNAP by Snowguard's animal shapeshifting ability, which transforms her between a Hawk and Bear form in subsequent turns after being drawn.
"On Reveal: Trigger the effect of this location."
Amka's Bear form can re-trigger the effect of the location she's played at, which is a major boon in some instances, such as generating a Monster at Monster Island or gaining +5 Energy at Project Pegasus.
"On Reveal: Ignore all Location abilities next turn."
Amka's Hawk form gives her the unique ability to completely disregard Location abilities, which is great for disabling restrictive Locations.
Jeff the Baby Land Shark makes it into MARVEL SNAP on 4/18!
Jeff is armed to the teeth with sharp chompers! His ability to breathe air and move on land makes Jeff a fearsome foe for those who don't enjoy being bit to shreds.
This adorable land shark's capable and ferocious nature is exemplified in NARVEK SNAP through his ability:
"You can move this once. Nothing can stop you from moving or playing this to any location."
Stegron the “Dinosaur Man” joins the fray on 4/25!
Stegron learned to hone his dinosaur powers — including superhuman strength, speed, reflexes, stamina, agility, and durability. Equipped with virtually impenetrable skin, razorsharp claws, and the ability to lift over 20 tons, Stegron found himself a force to be reckoned with and driven by the desire to turn all of humanity into creatures like himself.
In MARVEL SNAP, Stegron's incredible strength is portrayed by his disruptive ability:
"On Reveal: Move an enemy card from here to another location."
MARVEL FUTURE FIGHT
It’s time for the 8th Year anniversary of Netmarble’s blockbuster RPG MARVEL Future Fight! To celebrate, the “8 Years Homecoming” Celebration Event included several in-game events and rewards!
