Read details on the DLC below:
Two new Super Heroes join the fight against Annihilus!
Play as The Fantastic Four’s The Thing and X-Men’s Cyclops alongside the 15 playables Super Hero from the base game.
To Me, My X-Men!
You asked for it, and here he is: the no-nonsense leader of the X-Men blasts into battle!
Cyclops’ signature kinetic energy beams will pierce through the Annihilation Wave. As they can also be shot diagonally, Cyclops will be a perfect pick to counter aerial enemies—and catch opponents off guard.
It’s Clobberin’ Time
The Fantastic Four’s heaviest hitter brings his cosmic radiation-induced might to the fray, excelling as a grappling-focused powerhouse.
With surprising mobility allowing him to bounce across environments to get the jump on enemies, this former ace pilot embraces his new role as a tanklike protector of family and allies alike, arriving as an incredible asset to any team.
Together, Cyclops and The Thing are a perfect match to handle on the ground action and aerial foes.
And stay tuned for more info on the second major update planned later this year, including a new game mode and two new playable characters!
