For Christmas, Marvel Heroes is giving away a free random hero to everyone who logs in today — and I lucked out by getting Star Lord! I could have easily gotten a dupe or one of the crappier heroes, but I might actually play Star Lord at some point.
This brings my roster up to 20 out of the (now) 43 characters available:
- Black Panther
- Black Widow
- Cable
- Captain America
- Colossus
- Daredevil
- Hawkeye
- Human Torch
- Luke Cage
- Ms. Marvel
- Punisher
- Rocket Raccoon
- Rogue
- Scarlet Witch
- Spider-Man
- Squirrel Girl
- Star-Lord
- Storm
- Thor
- Wolverine
That’s so much to play I don’t even feel that tempted to go after any of the other characters. Maybe Psylocke, I used to think she was so awesome back when I watched the TV series. I might save up for X-23, just for looks, but I’m hoping that we’ll get more of the X-Men before too long. Beast? Jubilee? I’m all over that.
The funny thing is, I only spent actual money to get Squirrel Girl — the rest I got from various promotions, the beginner freebies, and in-game currency.
Bio Break 
Having only very recently gotten into Marvel Heroes, I only have 4 heroes on my roster – Black Widow as my initial freebie, Loki who I bought with my day 2 gift of eternity splinters, and then I laid down a bit of cash for Cable and Iron Man. My chances were excellent of getting something new from today’s Christmas present.
Naturally, I got Cable again. Ah well, almost saved up enough splinters for another roll of the dice.
Must remember to login. Also create an account for my wife. Also HULK SMASH!
@Gregmulka – slightly worrying how quickly you go from your wife to HULK SMASH! 🙂
I purchased Psylocke when the holiday half off sale started and I’m pretty pleased. I also have X-23, but I would recommend picking up her Target X costume if you get her, the base one is awful- her face looks deformed. And I got Storm today, which puts me at a whopping 4 heroes.
