I… Am… Inevitable

This year’s Crossover showcases some of the most iconic characters and moments in the MCU! With new visions of your favorite heroes and fresh faces from the Infinity Saga, Crossover Vol. 5 brings an exciting chapter of epic gameplay to Vs. System® 2PCG®. Here are some of the Level 1 and Level 2 Main Characters you will be seeing in this expansion:

Nothing Lasts Forever
At the start of your Main Phase, put two -1/-1 counters on Thor.

I'm Still Worthy!
Level Up (1) - When Frigga appears on your side, remove each -1/-1 counter from Thor and he gains 1 XP.
"I Couldn't Stop Him
Iron Man can't strike while defending.

I…Am…Iron Man
At the start of your turn, Iron Man may pay power symbols equal to the total remaining health of all enemy characters. If he does, remove those characters from the game and KO Iron Man. "

 

We have learned from the Avengers that power is not found in oneself but in the collective strength of the team! That means your main characters need some help to be the best they can be. Check out 2 of your 10 new supporting characters, Frigga and Rescue:

I See With More Than Eyes
Main [ENERGY]: Look at an enemy player's hand. You may choose a player to discard their hand. If you do, they draw that many cards.
Electromagnetic Force Fields
