Spider-Woman Joins Marvel Contest of Champions Amid Lumatrix Threat

Following the epic conclusion of the Dark Phoenix saga, Kabam has launched a major new update for *Marvel Contest of Champions*, welcoming two powerful additions to the roster—**Spider-Woman** and **Lumatrix**, the first Eidol Champion of 2025. Alongside their arrival, players can dive into fresh quests, limited-time events, and the latest installment of Act 9.2, all packed with exclusive rewards.

Spider-Woman swings into action on April 17th, bringing her enhanced agility, venom strike abilities, and elite espionage skills to The Contest. She’s a versatile fighter who excels in stealthy takedowns and rapid strikes. Meanwhile, Lumatrix debuts earlier on April 9th, introducing a visually striking yet deadly assassin forged by The Founders. Unlike traditional fighters, Lumatrix wields light manipulation powers that dazzle and deceive while delivering devastating damage.

To unlock Lumatrix, players must collect **Light Essence** through Battlegrounds, Saga Incursions, and Raids. This event runs until June 4th, so be sure to log in regularly and complete challenges to add this unique champion to your roster.

Spy Games: Black Widow Joins the Action

In the new **Spy Games** quest, **Black Widow** calls upon Spider-Woman to investigate the mysterious emergence of the Eidols. What begins as a routine mission quickly spirals into a tangled web of betrayal and intrigue, with both heroes racing to uncover the truth behind Lumatrix's glowing menace. This event is live from March 9th to May 7th, offering exciting missions and exclusive loot.

Deadpool’s Discount Events & Thunderbolts-Themed Super Event

Get ready for some chaotic fun with **Deadpool** and his latest venture—Red & Dead’s Discount Shed, running from April 25th to May 2nd. With Red Guardian’s help, Deadpool is dishing out rare rewards including event currency, crystals, and bonus items. Following that, the **Heart of Fire Sale** (May 7th–14th) gives players another chance to claim top-tier champions and valuable upgrades using Heart of Fire crystals.

Later this month, the **Thunderbolts Daily Super Event** kicks off from April 18th to May 2nd, shaking up the daily supply drop system. As you reach milestones, you’ll earn Poolshields that can be exchanged during the Red & Dead’s Discount Shed. Additionally, daily supply drops will continue from April 25th to May 23rd, making it easier than ever to score free in-game rewards just by logging in.
