History VideoGame / SuperHeroSquadOnline

Players buy Marvel heroes to add to their "squad" and use them to go on missions to fight villains, play a special collectible card game with other players, or hang out at their helicarrier HQ. An upgraded account called "Jr. SHIELD Agent" allows players to get more money and allows access to certain heroes that are unavailable to normal accounts. New heroes, accessories, missions, and card booster packs are added frequently, and include almost every character in Marvel's history, from classic staples such as ComicBook/IronMan, Franchise/SpiderMan, and ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}, to rather obscure ones like ComicBook/TheSentry, Valkyrie, and American Dream (Captain America's DistaffCounterpart from the [[Comicbook/MarvelComics2 MC2]] continuity).
