The Marvel Cinematic Universe hasn’t alwaystreated its characters in a deserving way, often portraying them as a lot weaker than their comic book counterparts. Fortunately, Marvel-themed video games have shown these heroes in all their glory, from Captain Marvel’s powerful Binary form to Black Bolt’s unique set of abilities.
Marvel Snapis one Marvel-themed video game where players can create unique decks composed of their favorite heroes and villains. But, even thoughMarvel Snaphas a good amount of Marvel heroes in its roster, some are still missing. The good news is that the list of potential candidates is near-endless, so players can let their imagination run wild while thinking of which hero should be added next.
6Banshee
Siren, Black Bolt, and Echo all share one thing in common with the mutant Banshee, a powerful sonic scream. But, the main difference Banshee has with those other superheroes is that he’s a master of hand-to-hand combat and can fly at the speed of sound. Even after his unfortunate demise, Banshee was still able to offer the X-Men aid as Zombie Banshee.
The best version of Banshee forMarvel Snapis the Banshee Marvel Comics one, not theX-Men: First Classone. Banshee could possess the same ability as Black Bolt (discard a card from the opponent’s hand) or an ability that forces all placed cards to shuffle place, thanks to his sonic scream. Overall, Banshee would make agreat addition to a Movement Deck.
5Speedball
At first glance, Speedball seems to be a copy of DC’s Polka-dot Man, but in fact, Speedball has his own set of unique abilities alongside a deep story that spans throughout the Civil War arc. Aside from having immense kinetic energy, Speedball can absorb an unlimited amount of power, a unique skill that has saved him on various occasions in his story arc.

In terms ofMarvel Snap, Speedball could be used as a powerful on-reveal card that absorbs a certain amount of power from a selected card. If it had this “on-reveal” skill, players could easily place Speedball in aWong Combo deck since it specializes in boosting on-reveal effects. Alternatively, Speedball does have an alter persona called “Penance,” which could cause him to gain more power every time a card targets him.
4Mr. Immortal
Fans were surely outraged whenShe-Hulk,one of the lowest-rated Disney+ shows, displayed the mutant Mr. Immortal as a cynical divorcee. In the comics, Mr. Immortal is a member of the West Coast Avengers, where he became known as the Great Lake Avenger. While he has no special powers (aside from resurrecting every time he’s killed, thus the reason behind his moniker), he can go head-to-head with Deadpool and The Hulk (World War version).
InMarvel Snap, Mr. Immortal could play the unique role of always returning to a player’s hand after its discarded, similar to Swarm’s ability. To avoid making him too overpowered,Marvel Snapcould set a limit on how many times he can respawn during a match. This could make Mr. Immortal and Deathurge (if he is ever added) a powerful combo team, reducing Mr. Immortal’s respawn timer.
3Howard the Duck
People often remember Howard the Duck because of the “live-action” movie, where the alien duck saves the planet earth unknowingly. While that movie showed Howard the Duck as an awkward (and naughty) character, the comic book version is quite different. He often teams up with Black Knight, Spider-Man, and Killraven. In one comic arc, Howard the Duck joins ARMOR (similar to The Avengers) and fights a zombie virus that has slowly infected the earth’s population.
Even though Howard has no special powers, he could still be an interesting hero to have inMarvel Snap. As for abilities, he could have a random power level (which changes every turn) due to his unorthodox fighting style. He’d be perfectadditon to a begginers deck, as he could keep opponent on their toes.
2Dum Dum Dugan
Dum Dum Dugan is another hero with no powers (at least not initially) that merits being added toMarvel Snap.This Howling Commando was one of the founding members of SHIELD, alongside Nick Fury, and carried out countless high-risk missions. Unfortunately, Dugan was killed during one of those missions, which is why Nick Fury creates an android version of him. The android version of Dum Dum Dugan possesses immense physical strength, unmatched marksman skills, and advanced combat skills.

InMarvel Snap,Dum Dum Dugan could have the unique skill of redeploying into the field after being discarded. But, this new Dum Dum Dugan would be his Android counterpart, meaning it would possess higher power levels. That would mean Dum Dum Dugan would fit inwithin a Pool-2 Discard deck.
1Lockheed
Lockheed is part of the British Excalibur group of Mutants that oversee the protection of the United Kingdom. While he looks like a fairytale dragon, he possesses several powers that can go head-to-head with Doctor Doom and even Thanos (Pet Avengers arc). But, Lockheed is mostly seen alongside Kitty Pryde (Shadowcat), serving as a guardian.
Since Kitty Pryde is part of the hero roster inMarvel Snap, Lockheed must be added since they are a duo that never separated (in the comics). Lockheed could be used in a deck that caters to Kitty Pryde, perhaps boosting her power levels or sacrificing himself if she’s attacked.
Marvel Snapis now available for Android, iOS, and PC.
