## Description
Peni Parker, the young pilot who stepped into the superhero scene after her father's mysterious death, now wears the iconic SP//dr suit. In the Marvel Champions universe, she arrives as a new hero that can be chosen in cooperative or solo games, bringing a unique resource management and deck‑building mechanic.

The SP//dr Hero Pack delivers a pre‑built protection deck ready to play. That means the moment you open the box you can start blasting villains with Peni’s high‑tech suit. The pack also includes 17 signature cards that expand the hero’s identity: from upgrades that give her more energy to abilities that let her adapt to any scenario.

The expansion also brings a modular encounter set featuring Iron Spider’s Sinister Six as the focus. This adds variety and new threats that require different tactics, keeping the game fresh each time.

Like all Marvel Champions releases, the SP//dr Hero Pack keeps the cooperative deck‑building experience while adding a new “variable player powers” dynamic, where each decision by Peni can swing the battle. If you enjoy playing with heroes, building decks, and facing villains in real time, this pack will get you pumped.

The hand‑management mechanic is prominent: you must decide when to use energy cards to unlock attacks or use resources strategically. This creates tension and requires quick thinking, something card‑collectible fans will love.

In short, the SP//dr Hero Pack offers a fresh, exciting experience for those who already know the base and want a more focused, futuristic hero with advanced combat skills.
