I've realized I should give more attention to Marvel games beyond Marvel Snap. While Marvel Snap (Free) always gets immediate coverage for updates, other titles often only appear in my Monday Best Updates articles. That's a fair criticism! So, let's dedicate a Marvel Minute to explore what's happening in other Marvel mobile games. Both Marvel Future Fight (Free) and Marvel Contest of Champions (Free) currently boast exciting events. Let's dive in!

First, Marvel Future Fight is celebrating Iron Man! Tony Stark, ever the innovator, is adding new suits and weaponry. This event, inspired by Invincible Iron Man, introduces new outfits for Tony and Pepper Potts. Here are the highlights from the patch notes:

"New additions to Marvel Future Fight featuring Invincible Iron Man:

• New Uniforms: Iron Man and Rescue.
• Tier-4 Advancement: War Machine and Hulkbuster.
• New Legend+ World Boss: The Black Order's Corvus and Proxima return.
• New Custom Gear: C.T.P. of Liberation.
• 200 Crystal Event: Link your email for 200 crystals!"

Now, let's turn to the popular fighting game, Marvel Contest of Champions. New events usually introduce playable characters, and the roster is incredibly diverse at this stage. The inclusion of less-common characters, like Count Nefaria, is a treat for longtime Marvel fans. The update notes provide the details:

"New Champions:

• Count Nefaria: A Maggia crime syndicate leader with enhanced abilities gained through scientific experimentation. His ionic energy form grants him near immortality.
• Shathra: Daughter of Oshtur and Gaea, from Loomworld. Fueled by jealousy, she seeks vengeance against her sister Neith.

New Quests and Events:

• Event Quest – Lupus In Fabula: The Summoner must thwart villains attempting to seize The Collector's treasures.
• Side Quest – Ludum Maximus: The Maestro's celebratory games, hosted by Count Nefaria, offer randomized challenges.
• Act 9; Chapter 1 – The Reckoning: The investigation into Ouroboros's schemes continues, with clues hidden in Superior Kang's holo-tapes.
• Glorious Games Saga: A four-month celebration of the Contest's history, featuring themed events and Champion reworks.
• Realm Events: Global collaborative events with milestone and ranked rewards."

Both events look fantastic! If you're a lapsed player or a newcomer, this is a great opportunity to jump back in. Count Nefaria, in particular, intrigues me! His nefarious nature and character design are compelling. I'm definitely going to give him a try. Enjoy the events!
