NEW CHAMPIONS

Solvarch

The result of this nightmarish design, an Eidol whose thirst for destruction is matched only by his hunger for power. With the ability to freeze their opponent with a mere touch, they hunger to absorb all the power in The Battlerealm, before releasing this overwhelming power on any who would dare stand in their way.

Cassandra Nova

A manifestation of negative potential that is a dark reflection of all the psionic power and potential of Charles Xavier. This sister was thought to be destroyed but somehow she rebuilt herself cell by cell for decades. Now, wielding power and hate in equal measure, she seeks to destroy all that her brother has built.
