About the game
What you do in a play session
You know that villain who starts small and suddenly builds a crime empire? That's Parker Robbins. After witnessing epic battles as a child and acquiring mystical items—like boots that let him walk on air and a powerful red cloak—he became The Hood, a genuine threat to New York City. Now, it's your turn to assemble your hero team and take down this criminal organization.
This Scenario Pack introduces a fresh challenge to Marvel Champions, focusing on The Hood and his network of supervillains. But the real highlight isn't just the new mission. The pack includes nine modular encounter sets. In practical terms, this means you can take these sets and mix them into ANY other scenario you already own, including The Hood's own. This provides an incredible level of customization for those who want to make matches harder, more varied, or simply themed around New York's organized crime.
If you enjoy the dynamics of deck building, resource management, and planning every move with your friends to defeat a final boss, this pack is essential. It extends the lifespan of the base game, adding new layers of strategy and the feeling of living through a comic book where crime is trying to dominate the city. Are you ready to face The Hood's empire, or will you let New York fall into his hands?

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Do I need the base game to play?
Yes! This is a Scenario Pack, so you need the Marvel Champions base game for the rules and heroes.
What are 'modular encounter sets'?
They are groups of villain and event cards that you can add to any scenario to change the difficulty or match dynamics.
Can I play solo?
Absolutely! The game works great in solo mode, allowing you to control the heroes against the game system.
How long does a game take?
Usually between 45 and 90 minutes, depending on your team size and the chosen difficulty.
Does this pack include new heroes?
No, the focus here is the villain (The Hood) and the scenarios. For new heroes, look for the Hero Packs.
Is it hard to learn?
If you already know the Marvel Champions system, it's instant. If you're new, you'll need the base game first.
