Booster 1
Here is our first booster! The highlight is obviously the rare Spider-Man. Spider-Man here is dressed in his classic Iron Spider costume with those are waldoes ready for action.
Also in this booster, we got Crystal representing the Inhumans. There’s also a Carol Danvers in his classic Captain Marvel costume. There’s also our first Black Panther, this one rocking a trenchcoat. Also representing Wakanda we have Shuri.
Booster 2
In our second booster, we get our first dose of Avengers: Black Panther and the Illuminati’s many exciting generic figures. Our rare is an AIM Blue Squad figure. If you’ve been playing HeroClix since at least the Incredible Hulk set, this ought to bring back some memories of a similar piece’s dominance. There’s also a generic Dora Milaje for Wakanda teams.
Also in this booster, we get the HeroClix debut of Everett K. Ross, a new Iron Man figure, and a new Winter Soldier representing his time leading the Thunderbolts.
Booster 3
In our third booster, we go cosmic with our first Elder of the Universe! It’s also our first super rare from the set, Grandmaster. Appropriately enough, he’s accompanied in this booster by his daughter Voyager, who was introduced to the Avengers in the recent event series Avengers: No Surrender.

Booster 4
Our fourth booster comes straight from Asgard! The rare here is the villainous Enchantress. She’s accompanied by her old foe, a very John Romita Jr.-looking version of the Mighty Thor!
Joining our previous AIM Blue Squad generic is an AIM White Squad generic (if you’re sensing a patriotic theme, that’s because these are the AIM henchman who worked for Sunspot during his time leading the USAvengers. That means these figures work as generics for Avengers teams as well!).
Finally, we have another Voyager and a brand new Yellowjacket.
Booster 5
We pulled another super rare in our fifth booster, and another member of the Elders of the Universe family, Collector! There’s also our second version of Carol Danvers, this time in her modern Captain Marvel form.

In our sixth booster, we discover our first Infinity Gem! The rare Namor, which comes with a stunning sculpt, is touting the Power Gem.
Also in this booster, we have another trenchcoat Black Panther, a holographic backup version of Iron Man, the former Ant-Man turned villain known as Black Ant, and finally a generic SHIELD diplomat.
