Character Spotlight: Mirage
Today we welcome the fearless Cheyenne mutant — Dani “Mirage” Moonstar — to MARVEL SNAP!
On Reveal: Copy the lowest-Cost card in your opponent’s hand into your hand. Give it +2 Power.
Danielle Moonstar, a Native American of the Cheyenne Nation, experienced the emergence of her mutant powers during puberty — initially resulting in uncontrollable projections of peoples’ deepest fears.
She would manifest the shocking images at unexpected moments, alienating herself from everyone in her community except for her parents and grandfather.
After experiencing premonitions of her parents’ disappearance, Dani’s shaman grandfather Black Eagle, decided to reach out to Professor Xavier for help.
Starting from her beginnings as a member of the Cheyenne Nation to becoming a Valkyrie in Asgard, Mirage has led an action-packed lifestyle. She was one of the first members in Professor X’s New Mutants, and has continued to take on roles in other teams like the Fearless Defenders and Valkyrior.
Moonstar’s initial powers included the ability to create realistic illusions based on people’s emotions. She could manifest those visions into reality, and even tap into someone’s worst fear!
Moonstar could also talk with animals, which was helpful especially when one of your teammates is Wolfsbane. As her powers developed, she gained the ability to make energy arrows that could really cause a shock to someone’s central nervous system.
Mirage even took the helm as the leader of the New Mutants for a period of time. She is fearless and expertly skilled at all types of weaponry. After all, she trained with Professor X, and was a Valkyrie!
In MARVEL SNAP, Mirage is represented through her effect:
On Reveal: Copy the lowest-Cost card in your opponent’s hand into your hand. Give it +2 Power.
This unique ability not only gives insight into what your opponent’s gameplan, but also has synergy with many other characters’ effects!
Mirage really compliments card abilities like Collector, Devil Dinosaur, and Quinjet’s. She’s a solid value card that can give you information early in the game about your opponent’s deck and later in the game to anticipate what your opponent may play in the final turns!
You can use Quinjet to cheapen the cost of cards you copy into your hand, as well as Beast to get extra value from her effect activating multiple times.
Let’s give a warm welcome to Dani “Mirage” Moonstar, as she joins the MARVEL SNAPverse!
