Prove Your Allegiance in Avengers vs. X-Men for New Season of 'MARVEL SNAP'

It's Heroes against Heroes in the latest season of 'MARVEL SNAP'! Are you Team Avengers or Team X-Men?

In MARVEL SNAP you can always be sure to find the biggest names in the Marvel Universe, but what about its greatest teams? More importantly, who IS the greatest team?

This season, we're tackling the age-old debate that has divided scholars, destroyed friendships, and puzzled the internet for years. No, not whether pineapple belongs on pizza (it does). We're talking about a showdown more epic than the endless "Gif" vs. "Jif" pronunciation war (it’s Gif). That's right, it's time for Avengers vs. X-Men! Are you Team Avengers or Team X-Men? This season will put your allegiances to the test. The future of all mutants, and possibly even the world, revolves around our biggest season yet.

SEASON PASS

We now introduce Hope Summers, the first child born after M-Day, the Mutant Messiah. She could either be the savior the X-Men need or the uncontrollable host of Phoenix that the Avengers fear.

NEW CHARACTER: HOPE SUMMERS

MARVEL SNAP Hope Summers — [3/4] After you play a card here, you get +1 Energy next turn.

Known across the world as the Mutant Messiah, Hope Summers is born after M-Day as the only new mutant. Though unlike other mutants, her mutant gene is detectable at birth, making her a highly sought-after target by many groups with good but mostly ill intentions. But it’s Cable that finds and protects her. They go on the run through the timestream evading the time-traveling Bishop, who intends to slay her for destroying his Earth, and in the meantime, Hope learns warfare tactics and how to defend herself. When her mutant powers manifest, she can imitate the powers of any mutant or super human around her. She learns how to use her powers and eventually joins several mutant-protecting groups, including the X-Men and X-Force.

SEASON REWARDS

Not to be left out of the fight, Cyclops is entering the battle as our newest Emote!

NEW CHARACTERS!

Each week this month, we’ll be sending extra forces into the battle, starting with Pixie who launches alongside Hope Summers!

SERIES 5

Pixie

Formerly a member of the Xavier Institute's Paragons training squad, Megan Gwynn is a cheerful girl who seems to have no difficulties integrating herself with her fellow students and squad members. Nonetheless, Gwynn has shown to be a resolute and pertinacious individual both in training sessions and in the everyday interaction with other adolescents and teachers. Gwynn seems to appreciate her genetic mutation as a gift, especially enjoying her ability to fly, which she frequently exercises. The evaluation on Gwynn's potential reaction to an escalating genetic conflict remains inconclusive. While her cheerful, optimistic attitude may well motivate her to comply with government policy, her steadfast loyalty to her friends and teammates might cause her to join a potential rebellion against any sanctions on the mutant population.

SERIES 5

Mockingbird

Trained in several forms of martial arts, S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Bobbi Morse adopts the persona of Mockingbird to protect her secret identity. Possessing deadly combat skills and an enhanced biology, she’s a relentless champion in rooting out corruption within S.H.I.E.L.D. and around the globe.

SERIES 5

Cannonball

The eldest of ten children, young Sam Guthrie was 11 years old when he became involved in a plot by the Deviants, a genetic offshoot of humanity, to improve their evolutionary status by performing experiments on children. Sam was saved by the timely arrival of the mysterious Deviant Sledge, and the minds of the children—including Sam—were wiped of the events that had transpired. Five years later, Sam's father died, and as the oldest sibling he felt responsible for supporting the family. Giving up a college scholarship, he followed in his father's footsteps as a coal miner. When Sam was trapped with a co-worker in a collapsing mine, the stress of attempting to escape triggered his latent mutant power, enabling him to blast them both free. Renegade Hellfire Club member Donald Pierce learned of Sam's powers and manipulated him into serving as one of his operatives. Pierce sent Sam into battle against Professor Xavier and his fledgling New Mutants team; however, Sam refused to kill the young heroes, instead teaming up with them to defeat Pierce. Xavier subsequently realized that Sam had been misled and invited him to join the New Mutants as Cannonball. Sam soon found himself in the role of co-leader, a position he found awkward due to his relative slowness in mastering his mutant powers compared with his teammates. He also formed a lasting friendship with his teammate Sunspot.

SERIES 5

War Machine

Tony Stark's best friend, James Rhodes, is one of the few to wear the Iron Man armor, other than Tony Stark himself. Although he initially took on the role of War Machine when Stark was dealing with his demons, Rhodes has reprised the role over the years.
