It is the kind of scenario that makes any comic book fan's eyes light up, especially in how the game mechanics translate the weight of this space war into intense cooperative challenges.

The big differentiator here is the introduction of the Inhumans, who bring thematic abilities based on the Terrigen Mist. As is standard in the United system, you will need to manage your hand of cards carefully and coordinate every move with your allies. You cannot go it alone; the synergy between hero powers is the key to surviving the relentless onslaught of the villains.
