Marvel Super Heroes (stylized Magic: The Gathering® | Marvel Super Heroes) is an upcoming Magic: The Gathering expansion in the Universes Beyond series. It is scheduled for release on June 26, 2026.[2]

Background

“  Players... Assemble  ”

Marvel Super Heroes is the second major release after Marvel's Spider-Man in a series of products created for Magic: The Gathering by Hasbro (Wizards of the Coast) in collaboration with Marvel Entertainment. The set features many Marvel Comics heroes and villains. The Avengers feature prominently, but not exclusively; other heroes include the Fantastic Four, S.H.I.E.L.D., Heroes for Hire, and several "Avenger-adjacent" characters. It is notably based on the original comics and not on the Marvel Cinematic Universe.[1]

Through the Omenpaths

Main article: Through the Omenpaths

Marvel sets do not release on the digital platforms Magic Online and Magic: The Gathering Arena.[3] Instead, a mechanically identical set re-themed with Magic in-universe creative treatments, art, and card names will be released under the banner of Through the Omenpaths. The cards are legal in all formats that would otherwise have used Marvel Super Heroes but do not have any physical copies printed at the time of their release. -

Themes and mechanics

Card types

The use of the Hero and Villain types is one of the major throughlines in the Marvel collaboration.[4]

Storyline

This is a crossover product based on the Marvel Universe, a fictional shared universe where the stories in most American comic book titles and other media published by Marvel Comics take place. The set is focused on the Avengers and related characters, including the Fantastic Four, S.H.I.E.L.D., street level heroes, and groups like the Young Avengers.[5] The X-Men as a team are not present in the set but individual characters with associations to the Avengers have not been excluded.[6]
