Kabam is preparing for a hot ride this summer by making Waves! Their popular mobile fighter Marvel Contest of Champions is introducing all new Champions, Game Modes, New Player Bundle, and more.

SPLASH INTO THE CONTEST WITH HOT CHAMPIONS

The aquatic WAVE arrives alongside a newly improved Summoner’s Choice (fan-voted) re-work of GHOST RIDER, riding in to heat up the shores of The Battlerealm!Players can splash down and acquire Wave on May 28, while the Ghost Rider re-work will be unleashed on May 14.

With over 300 Champions in The Contest, players can also add other classic Marvel Super Heroes and villains such as Moon Knight, Doctor Strange, Daredevil, Namor, and more.

WAVE

Pearl Pangan is a swift swimmer hailing from Cebu, Philippines. During an opportunity to use her talents in a study of swimmers, a raid on the facility led to discovering her power of hydrokinesis: the ability to manipulate water. With her newfound powers, she took up the mantle of hero as ‘Wave’, fighting alongside Triumph Division and Agents of Atlas.

GHOST RIDER (REWORK) 

Tricked by the demonic being Mephisto into selling his soul to save a loved one, stunt cyclist Johnny Blaze soon found himself bonded to the Spirit of Vengeance, a being of almost unlimited power from Hell itself. With the power to control Hellfire as well as his mystical Hell Cycle and Hell Chains, Ghost Rider has turned against Mephisto’s purpose and instead uses his newfound abilities to protect the innocent and cast judgment upon the wicked.

EVENT QUEST: In Hot Water [May 6–June 3]: Mephisto is invading Atlantis in search of hidden treasures, and his fiery foe Ghost Rider is on the scene to stop his fiendish plans. However, Namor would prefer aquatic assistance on the team. So Pearl Pangan, aka WAVE, has arrived on The Contest’s shores to help with this devilish dilemma. Will making waves extinguish the flames of evil?

Kabam has a lot to celebrate this month on its popular mobile fighter Marvel Contest of Champions with Black History Month and powerful Black Super Heroes, Lunar New Year and spectacular rewards, and Valentine’s Day with bundles of sweet treats for the fans and new players. See below for a snapshot of what The Battlerealm has in store for its players this February:

CELEBRATE BLACK HISTORY MONTH IN THE CONTEST

The Contest of Champions is a home to a diverse gathering of Super Heroes from every possible background and origin. This month MCoC is welcoming the formidable leader of the Jabari Tribe M’BAKU along with war veteran, all-star football player, and living anti-matter containment unit BLUE MARVEL! Players will have the opportunity to obtain M’Baku on Feb. 12, while Blue Marvel can be obtained on Feb. 26.

With over 300 Champions in The Contest, players can also add other classic Marvel Super Heroes and villains such as Captain America (Sam Wilson), Jabari Panther, Killmonger, Patriot, Photon, Prowler, and more.

M’BAKU

The charismatic and formidable leader of the Jabari Tribe, is one of Wakanda’s most powerful warriors and a frequent rival of T’Challa. He is a traditionalist, a worshipper of the White Gorilla,

Ghekre, living with his tribe in the isolated mountains away from the rest of Wakanda due to

ideological differences. He and his tribe reject the technological progress embraced by T’Challa’s

leadership. Though often seen challenging T’Challa’s rule, ultimately his motivations stem from a

deep belief in maintaining Wakanda’s ancient traditions.

BLUE MARVEL

Adam Brashear had always been a prodigy—a college football star with multiple Ph.D.s who earned two Silver Stars serving as a Marine in the Korean War. While leading Project: Perseus, an attempt to harness the power of antimatter, Adam and his fellow Marine Conner Sims were caught in a reactor explosion. Conner was vaporized, but the reaction stabilized within Adam’s body, granting him the amazing powers of the Blue Marvel. When his identity as a Black man was revealed in a titanic battle alongside the Avengers, Adam was asked by the President to retire, as the country was not ready for the most powerful man in America to be openly and unapologetically Black during the 1960’s. For decades, he obliged, but after losing much of his family in another accident, he has since returned to stand against the ever present threats of the modern world.
