There are plenty of teams - both well known and not - in
Marvel Comics. Apart from
The Avengers, there is also
The Defenders, Guardians of the Galaxy, The Illuminati, and
The Revengers, just to name a few.
There is also Alpha Flight, a Canadian based group of superheros who sometimes work alongside the likes of Captain Marvel and who's team ranks include heroes such as Sasquatch, Puck, and Northstar.
The last of those three names is the hero of the hour as Northstar is now receiving the spotlight in the mobile gaming corner of Marvel's Gamerverse.
Marvel's Puzzle Quest has chosen to add Northstar, the Alpha Flight speedster as a 4-Star Rarity Legendary Character. Take a look at this new character's move list below.
-
Running Early: High Cost Blue Power. Using his incredible speed and expert precision, Northstar destroys a chosen row. Gains Yellow AP for each Yellow tile destroyed.
-
Star Bright: Mid Cost Yellow Power. Northstar joins hands with his twin sister Aurora, creating blinding light to dazzle enemies. Converts 2 Basic tiles of the target's strongest color into Team-Up tiles and creates a 2-Turn Countdown tile targeting a random ally. While on the board, this tile grants 1 turn of Invisibility and gives a burst of 118 health to that ally at the start of your turn. (Max level 229 health)
-
Up North: Mid Cost Black Power. Northstar lifts the enemy into the air and pummels them with fists and gravity. Sends Northstar and the target airborne for 1 turn. When the enemy lands, destroy 1 AP and 2 basic tiles in the airborne enemy's second-strongest color, dealing 76 damage per tile destroyed. Destroyed tiles don't deal damage, or generate other AP. (Max level 148 damage)
Players are able to recruit Northstar until January 14th in placement rewards or until January 16th with rewards tokens to Venom Bomb, a random cover of Northstar (Classic), and more. Meanwhile, the featured event for Northstar - Hearts of Darkness - is playable between January 13th and 17th while a Versus Tournament, Star Athlete, is available until January 15th.
