Galaxy’s Most Wanted is the second campaign expansion for Marvel Champions, following in the recent footsteps of The Rise of Red Skull. Whereas previous small expansions may have added a new hero or villain to use (Captain America, Dr. Strange, Green Goblin, for example), these two bigger expansions feature a campaign mode and several scenarios against different villains.
In Galaxy’s Most Wanted, the scenarios put players against Drang of the Brotherood of Badoon, The Collector, Nebula, and Ronan the Accuser. It also includes seven modular sets that can be added to other villains and scenarios to spice them up.
From the release:
Drang and your first encounter with the Collector are only the first two scenarios in The Galaxy’s Most Wanted, and you’ll face new twists and turns throughout the unfolding campaign. You’re taking on these villains because it’s the right thing to do, of course… but you also expect to be well paid. Throughout The Galaxy’s Most Wanted campaign, you’ll collect a reward in Units after each scenario, which you can spend in The Market to purchase new cards for your deck. The new cards you purchase might get you out of a sticky situation, like By Any Means (The Galaxy’s Most Wanted, 151) or Sure Gamble (The Galaxy’s Most Wanted, 169). Or, you might invest in some Milano Mods, like a Mounted Laser (The Galaxy’s Most Wanted, 171) or a Reactor Core (The Galaxy’s Most Wanted, 165), tapping into these powerful upgrades that grow more potent if you control the Milano.
