If you're a Marvel fanatic or just love heroes who rely as much on brains as they do on brawn, the Ironheart Hero Pack is a must-have upgrade for your Marvel Champions collection. After facing profound personal loss, Riri used her genius-level intellect to reverse-engineer Stark-level tech, creating her own signature armor to fight for justice. This pack isn't just another hero to add to your roster; it introduces a really satisfying 'progression' mechanic. Ironheart features a unique ability to gradually and permanently 'level up' her armor throughout the scenario.

Everything you need to start fighting is right in the box. The pack comes with a pre-built Leadership deck, making it perfect for players who want to jump straight into the fray without the hassle of complex deck-building right away. With fifteen signature cards that define her playstyle, Ironheart acts as a fantastic tactical asset, providing essential support to your team while taking down heavy-hitting villains.
