Character Spotlight: Nebula

Today, we welcome the cybernetic assassin with a massive family grudge — Nebula — To MARVEL SNAP!

Each turn your opponent doesn’t play a card here, +2 Power. (except the turn you play this)

A former Luphomoid assassin and adopted daughter of the Mad Titan Thanos — Nebula found herself perpetually living in the shadow of her sister, Gamora. Their father would pit his warrior daughters against each other, day after day, attempting to make Nebula into Gamora’s equal through excruciatingly painful cybernetic enhancements. Her mistreatment as a child led her to see just about everyone in the galaxy as a threat, and make enemies of anyone who defies her.

Over time, her resentment towards Gamora and Thanos grew into a need to best them both. Thus, Nebula pledged her allegiance to serve Ronan the Accuser, as they held captive the Power Stone that Thanos needed to complete his plan to obtain all six Infinity Stones. Nebula’s will to prove herself to her makeshift family resulted in allying with anyone who could benefit her cause — including the Ravagers, the Guardians of the Galaxy, and the Avengers.

As a highly skilled pirate and mercenary, Nebula’s greatest strengths lie in her military strategy, space warfare, astro-navigation, and leadership and technological capabilities.
Her bio-mechanical improvements have equipped her with incredible physical and technical abilities — including energy projection, illusion resistance, superhuman strength and durability, and the capacity to survive in deep space without a space suit.
Nebula is also equipped with wrist-mounted blasters that produce streams of heat or concussive force.

These dynamic cybernetic enhancements are displayed in MARVEL SNAP through Nebula’s unique effect:

Each turn your opponent doesn’t play a card here, +2 Power. (except the turn you play this)

The more time you allow Nebula to grow, uncontested by enemies, the more powerful her enhancements become.
This makes Nebula a great Turn 1 opening play, which can effectively “force” opponents to fill up a Location that they otherwise would not want to fully commit to. Even in the case that the opposing player plays four cards at the same Location as Nebula over the course of 4 turns, Nebula will still receive +2 Power at least once.
A few noteworthy card combinations to keep in mind include the Guardians — whom Nebula naturally synergizes with, as she encourages opponents to play cards at the Location she occupies — and “Location controlling” cards — such as Professor X and Storm, who enable Nebula to continue growing even after the Location is locked down.

Make sure to keep an eye out for this aggressive assassin as you continue playing MARVEL SNAP!

Character Spotlight: Stegron

Today we welcome Dr. Vincent Stegron — The “Dinosaur Man” — to MARVEL SNAP!!

On Reveal: Move an enemy card from here to another location.

Dr. Vincent Stegron was hired as an assistant to Dr. Curtis Connors on a S.H.I.E.L.D. Project involving dinosaur tissue from the Savage Land. Vincent became obsessed with the experiments, leading him to steal the dinosaur extract and flee to the Savage Land to turn himself into Dinosaur Man!
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.

The ability to control where enemy cards can or cannot be grants Stegron potent synergy with cards like Storm, Hobgoblin, and Professor X.
Keep an eye on locations when you have Stegron in hand, because you may have the opportunity to knock cards away from key points of contention, like Space Throne and Kyln!
Let’s all give the big orange dinosaur man a warm welcome and at least try to pretend that he’s just as adorable as the other animals that have assembled in this season of MARVEL SNAP!

Character Spotlight: Jeff

Today we welcome Jeffrey — the Baby Land Shark with an indomitable appetite — to MARVEL SNAP!

Welcome to the fray, little fella!

You can move this once. Nothing can stop you from moving or playing this to any location.

After the West Coast Avengers defeated a team of super-villains, Gwenpool discovered M.O.D.O.K.’s creation — a strangely cute shark with legs and a love of biting. Concerned about the little dude’s well-being, she decided to adopt him and name him Jeff (after a kitten Gwen had previously adopted and needed to give up).
Jeff has since become a close friend and loyal companion of Gwenpool, Deadpool, and Elsa Bloodstone.
From that point on, Jeff teamed up with the West Coast Avengers as both a pet and honorary hero!

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 SNAP through his ability:

You can move this once. Nothing can stop you from moving or playing this to any location.

This uncanny ability makes Jeff a great little espionage agent — sneaking into Locations like Sanctum Sanctorum, Morag, or those that were Flooded by Storm. He pairs up perfectly with Professor X and Ebony Maw, because he can enter “locked down” Locations without hindrance and he’s even playable as a second card when Sandman or Electro’s effect is active!

Talk about an unstoppable force! Wherever his opponents flee to, they aren’t safe from Jeffrey’s gnashing teeth.
Pick this silly, sweet shark for your deck and get to work on your foes!

Character Spotlight: Snowguard

Today we welcome Amka Aliyak, known as Snowguard, to the world of MARVEL SNAP!

While in your hand, this transforms each turn into a Hawk or a Bear.

Amka Aliyak was born on a remote island in freezing Nunavut, Canada, just 45 km South of the Arctic Circle. As a young girl, she discovered an Inua spirit known as Sila, trapped in a containment facility. Amka managed to free Sila, but was fatally injured in the resulting explosion. Fortunately Sila’s healing powers restored her in a flash of light and blessed the young girl with newfound divine empowerment.
Amka’s act of bravery in saving Sila earned her the Soul of the North’s blessing, joining their essences together. As a result, Amka gained the ability to harness spiritual energies of the Aurora Borealis and Arctic.

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.
Snowguard’s effect reads:

While in your hand, this transforms each turn into a Hawk or a Bear.

Amka’s Hawk form gives her the unique ability to completely disregard Location abilities, which is great for disabling restrictive Locations.
Its effect reads:

On Reveal: Ignore all Location abilities next turn.

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.
Its effect reads:

On Reveal: Trigger the effect of this location.

Snowguard’s Aurora-Manipulating powers make her a flexible force to be reckoned with and a master of location-manipulation. Welcome, Amka Aliyak — and all your Animal Shapeshifting powers — to MARVEL SNAP!

Character Spotlight: Hit-Monkey

Ever think to yourself… “Man, I wish I had a pet monkey, but those pesky neighbors would never tolerate its shrieking and dung-slinging…” Well, Animals Assemble has the perfect macaque companion for you!

Introducing the monkey, the myth, the legendary hit-man — Hit-Monkey!!

On Reveal: Gain +2 Power for each other card you played this turn.

Not only is he a cool dude to bring on your adventures, but Hit-Monkey also loves to party!
And by party, we mean assassinate people. And by assassinate, we mean he’ll slay both your enemies and with the ladies. This simian is absolutely dripping in magnetism, and no one can get enough of him — talk about the perfect wing-man!

Almost as importantly, Hit-Monkey has honed his unparalleled fighting skills by studying the martial arts practices of a straggling hit-man in the mountains of northern Japan. Hit-Monkey was wary of the human capacity for violence, and felt that this injured stranger did not deserve the herbal healing of his macaque clan. However, when he saw the man practicing martial arts on snowmen test-dummies, Hit-Monkey decided to emulate his moves and quickly became a world-class hit-man due to his monkey agility, dexterity, and human-level intellect.

As a skilled snow monkey, Hit-Monkey’s specialization lies in his ability to wield guns with both his hands and feet while freeing up his other limbs for movement and hand-to-hand combat. He is both a powerful and mysterious foe, whose targets are rarely shown mercy.
Hit-Monkey sweeps in on his mark, gains an advantage and never lets up, a fighting style displayed in MARVEL SNAP by his ability:

On Reveal: Gain +2 Power for each other card you played this turn.

Hit-Monkey’s assassinating powers really shine when combined with low-cost cards like Quinjet, Kitty Pryde, Agent 13, and Beast!

Paired with cards like Sera, Zabu, and Quinjet — You can slam down many cards in one turn for maximum monkey!

Character Spotlight: Kitty Pryde

Katherine Anne “Kitty” Pryde — The girl who walks through walls.

You can return this to your hand to gain +2 Power.

At just 13 years of age in Deerfield, Illinois — the young Jewish-American Katherine began having headaches which signalled the emergence of her mutant powers. Kitty’s phasing ability enables her to pass through solid matter by passing her atomic particles through the spaces between the atoms of an object through which she is moving, and can also render herself almost completely intangible to physical touch.

Kitty Pryde soon became the youngest member of the X-Men, and developed bonds with her fellow mutants. Her invaluable skillset led her to work with a wide range of teams — including Excalibur, Guardians of the Galaxy, S.H.I.E.L.D. and multiple stints with the X-Men.

Kitty’s mutant ability not only makes her extremely mobile and difficult to intercept — she can even extend this ability to those she maintains contact with, helping them phase through objects alongside her. Additionally, control of her atomic particles enables her to levitate and disrupt electrical fields she passes through. Kitty’s potent phasing powers are displayed in MARVEL SNAP by her effect:

You can return this to your hand to gain +2 Power.

Pair Kitty Pryde with characters that love playing low-cost cards multiple times, such as Bishop, Angela, and The Collector — Then show those Sentinels who’s boss!

Character Spotlight: Negasonic Teenage Warhead

Today we welcome the telepathic teen from Genosha…

After ANY card is played here, destroy this card AND that card.

During her formative years, Ellie Phimister discovered her mutant abilities extended beyond her exceptional physical aptitude to the mental realm of mind-reading and thought-projection. Ellie’s extraordinary mind, both a blessing and a curse, caused her to experience a host of nightmarish omens. She decided to coin the name “Negasonic Teenage Warhead” and donned gothic attire to match her pale skin, dark hair, and even darker demeanor.

Due to her precognitive abilities, Negasonic Teenage Warhead witnessed premonitions of the massacre of millions of Genoshan mutants, and soon after fell victim to Cassandra Nova’s Wild Sentinels invasion. Her telepathy teacher, Emma Frost, was devastated when she was unable to save young Ellie’s life.

Ellie was later resurrected in Necrosha, and subsequently dropped her gothic style in favor of a quiet suburban life, where she would use her telepathic and precognitive abilities under-the-radar in Albuquerque. However, it didn’t take long before her powers were learned of and she was captured by the mutant mercenary Deadpool. She ultimately joined forces with the mercenary and found new uses for her incredible telepathic abilities.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead possesses superhuman strength, speed, durability, reflexes, and an array of mental abilities stemming from the manipulation of energy at the quantum level. She is able to rearrange matter and energy into various shapes and forms at will, which enables her to read thoughts and project her own telepathic abilities onto others. Negasonic’s energy-harnessing capabilities are exhibited in MARVEL SNAP with her explosive ability:

After ANY card is played here, destroy this card AND that card.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead is a great card to proactively enable destroy decks, or disrupt your opponent’s plays at a location. Play her with cards like Bucky Barnes and Nimrod, or position her to destroy your opponent’s plays in a location!
