Marvel Contest of Champions is set to roll out a thrilling lineup of updates and new champions this April, with the spotlight on the much-anticipated Spider-Woman. Here's a deeper dive into what's coming your way:
Here’s the Backstory of Spider-Woman in the World of Marvel Contest of Champions
Spider-Woman, known as Jessica Drew, has a compelling origin story. As a child, she suffered from a severe illness caused by uranium exposure near her home. In a desperate bid to save her, her father, a brilliant geneticist, conducted an experimental treatment by injecting her with a concoction of spider DNA. After a long recovery, Jessica not only overcame the adverse effects but also emerged with extraordinary spider-like powers, eventually embracing her identity as Spider-Woman. You'll be able to add this new champion to your roster in MCOC starting April 17th.
But before Spider-Woman makes her entrance, another champion, Lumatrix, will join the fray on April 9th. Designed by the Founders, Lumatrix is a formidable assassin known for his lethal light-based powers, making him a perfect infiltrator and eliminator.
What Else Is New?
On the narrative front, Act 9 Chapter 2, titled "Inquisition," unfolds with dramatic intensity. Carina suffers severe injuries after a confrontation with Ouroborus forces, while Doctor Doom forms an unexpected alliance with the Fantastic Four to combat the spreading corruption of the Chronoserpent. A new villain, Lotan, also emerges, adding another layer of intrigue to the storyline.
A new Event Quest, "Spy Games," kicks off on April 9th and runs until May 7th. Black Widow delves into the enigma of the Eidols, enlisting the help of Spider-Woman to unravel the mystery.
Dark Phoenix returns in the Side Quest with "Dark Bounties," challenging players to hunt down champions targeted by her bounty and claim their rewards.
The "Incursions: Dark Phoenix Saga Sector" also makes a comeback, offering players the chance to assemble their most powerful Saga champions to battle for Dark Plumes, Light Essence, Tier 7 Basic Fragments, and 7-Star Class Signature Stones.
