To Me, My X-Men!

The no-nonsense leader of the X-Men blasts into battle with his signature kinetic energy beams!

With the ability to shoot his beams diagonally, Cyclops brings an all-new way to counter aerial enemies, catching Annihilus’ hordes off guard!

It’s Clobberin’ Time!

The Fantastic Four’s heaviest hitter brings his cosmic radiation-induced might to MARVEL Cosmic Invasion - outstanding in his field as a grappling powerhouse!

The Thing ’s surprising mobility allows you to bounce across the battlefield, and get the jump on Annihilus’ forces. As a former ace pilot, The Thing embraces his new role as a tank-like protector of family and allies alike, arriving as an incredible asset to any team.

Together, Cyclops and The Thing form their own perfect partnership, allowing you to get a grip on both ground action and aerial foes!
