Hailing from New Orleans' underworld, Remy LeBeau left his thieving ways to become an X‑Man, now using his mutant ability to turn objects into explosive ammunition. The Hero Pack introduces Gambit as a playable character, complete with a pre‑built fifteen‑card deck ready to roll. That means you can pop the fedora, pick your secret identity, and start foiling the villain’s schemes straight out of the box—no deck‑building required. Cooperative gameplay stays true to Marvel Champions: you and your teammates face a villain driven by the game, using attacks, special abilities, and support cards to progress through mission stages. Gambit's edge lies in his ability to thwart the villain both as his hero self and in his alter‑ego, plus charged attacks that deal extra damage when paired with energy cards. This flexibility makes him a solid all‑rounder for any team, whether you need control support or a damage boost. The pack also adds a modular encounter featuring Exodus, Magneto’s herald, which can be slipped into any campaign for extra spice. Components are top‑notch: vibrant art cards, identity tokens, and energy markers. Playtime ranges from 45 to 90 minutes depending on player count. Perfect for existing Marvel Champions fans looking for fresh hero dynamics without hassle, or newcomers wanting a complete, thematic entry point. ## FAQ ### How many players can use the Gambit Hero Pack? 1 to 4 players, just like the base game. ### How long does a game typically last?
