Emma Frost - Emma Frost has arrived in Marvel Heroes and brings her Omega level telepath skills to the Live servers! Emma Frost is truly unique and features several brand new game mechanics, including the ability to mind control enemies so they permanently become her "minions," as well as instantly changing into her Diamond Form for tank-melee options.

New Difficulty Modes - Heroic and Super Heroic modes are now available for all heroes. Players may unlock Heroic mode by defeating Doctor Doom or reaching level 30. Superheroic mode is unlocked by defeating Doctor Doom on heroic mode or reaching level 45. Increased difficulty also means increased experience and rewards. In addition to even better loot, as you play in Heroic or Superheroic mode you encounter new enemies and challenges that are different than what you found playing through the game on Normal difficulty.
Updated Defense System - The defense system has been completely overhauled. Gearing for defense is now a very solid plan for any type of hero (ranged or melee). This is a major game system change that also includes improvements to how the Crit and Dodge ratings work. These changes mark a significant upgrade to the overall Marvel Heroes experience.
Queens Bank Heist (new starting area) - Players starting the story from the beginning with any hero will be treated to a brand new starting quest. Your job is to stop an ongoing bank heist in Queens. This new quest concludes with an encounter with the always fortunate Black Cat.
Relics & Unique Items - There are two new item types in the game. Relics are powerful fragments of epic civilizations across the Marvel universe. These offer bonus stats to your hero and can be stacked up to 999. Unique items are extremely rare and powerful, they can be slotted in any of the 5 basic item slots and offer various exciting abilities.
