About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to freeze the table! Bobby Drake joins Marvel Champions, bringing all his creative power and that playful spirit that only one of the founding X-Men possesses. If you enjoy controlling the battlefield and love characters who blend fun with devastating efficiency, Iceman is the perfect addition to your hero roster.

In this Hero Pack, you take control of the Iceman, turning the arena into a deep freezer for the villains. Bobby's gameplay focuses on ice manipulation, allowing him to create barriers, control the flow of the fight, and protect allies while draining the enemies' energy. He's the kind of character who doesn't just hit hard but dictates the pace of combat, becoming an essential pillar in any cooperative team.

The pack comes with everything you need to build the hero's deck: the hero card, ally cards, events, and specific upgrades that reflect Bobby's evolution, from the scared young mutant to the experienced warrior fighting against persecution to protect humanity. The learning curve is fair, but the strategic depth emerges when deciding whether to freeze the enemy to buy time or unleash full icy power to end the fight.

If you already play Marvel Champions, you know that every new hero completely changes the table dynamics, and Iceman brings a breath of fresh air (literally!) to crowd control strategies. Gather your friends, assemble the team, and show that when it comes to ice, nobody does it better than Bobby Drake.
