About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to summon the power of nature! The Storm Hero Pack brings Ororo Munroe to the Marvel Champions battlefield, turning the storm into your greatest ally. If you're a fan of the X-Men, this pack is a must-have, introducing Storm as a playable hero capable of manipulating the weather to devastate villainous forces.

The biggest advantage here is the convenience: the pack comes with a 40-card pre-built Leadership deck. This means you don't have to spend hours crafting an initial strategy; just open the box and start unleashing lightning and gale-force winds. Storm brings 15 signature cards that reflect her immense power, making her a potent addition to any team, whether you're playing solo or with friends.

But it's not just about the hero. The pack also delivers some interesting extra content: a bonus modular encounter set featuring the devious Shadow King. This adds an extra layer of challenge and complexity to your games, forcing you to adapt your tactics. If your goal is to face off against Magneto and his Brotherhood of Mutants, having Storm on your team is the perfect choice to tip the scales of combat. It's the ideal blend of raw power and tactical control for those looking to dominate the board.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you buy

5 questions
Can I play this pack standalone?
No, this is an expansion pack. You need the Marvel Champions base game to use Storm and the encounter cards.
Do I need to build my own deck?
Not necessarily! It comes with a 40-card pre-built Leadership deck, though you can customize it later if you prefer.
What exactly is inside the box?
You get the Storm hero, 15 signature cards, a 40-card pre-built deck, and the Shadow King encounter set.
Is Storm a good choice for beginners?
Yes! Since it comes with a ready-to-play deck and powerful control abilities, she's a great option for new players.
Is the Shadow King a new main villain?
He isn't a main villain with his own scenario, but rather a modular encounter set that you add to make fights more challenging.
