of Super Villains yet to be announced. Each character is equipped with a
unique set of powerful, upgradeable abilities along with alternate
costumes that grant new powers and allow for a variety of different play
styles based around speed, strength, and health.
"Marvel Mighty Heroes starts with old-school Super Hero
gameplay from the glory days of playing alongside friends at the arcade
and adds a modern twist for mobile devices through intuitive touch
controls and global cooperative gameplay," said Barry Dorf, Vice
President of Partnerships and Alliances at DeNA. "Marvel fans of all
ages will love the timeless characters and evlving Marvel storylines
based on classic plots and new story arcs."
Once players choose their squad, they will join a team of up to four
players from around the world to compete in missions testing their
clobbering prowess with bruiser characters and quick reflexes with
ranged characters, while leaderboards let players compete for worldwide
supremacy. Multiplayer events include a variety of missions like
cooperative defense and intense boss battles. Regular updates will
consistently add original content, letting players fight their way
through all-new worlds and storylines never before explored in a Marvel
game. Today kicks off the first event in the six-part weekly "Infinity"

up to battle Thanos the Mad Titan.
In a tight race, Marvel fans have registered and voted to receive Hulk
