With over 200 cards available to players,Marvel Snapstill has plenty of Marvel’s thousands of characters to pull from when adding new cards in future updates. The game’s latest Savage Land season is adding a handful of new cards, including Zabu, Shanna, Dazzler, Sauron, and Shadow King, who will all be released over the course of the season. Even with these new additions, there are still some iconic heroes missing fromMarvel Snapwho deserve representation in the game.
From big name heroes likeIron Man and Captain Americato deeper cuts from Marvel’s roster like Black Bolt and Lockjaw,Marvel Snaphas characters for every type of Marvel fan. The villains represented in the game also feature iconic foes like Doctor Doom and Thanos, as well as lesser enemies like Rhino and Crossbones, giving the game diverse representation across the board. However, some fans might find some notable exclusions from this roster who could offer unique twists to the game’s card-battler gameplay. AsMarvel Snapcontinues to dive into Marvel’s legacy characters, it would be a shame if these heroes were skipped over.

Nico Minoru
Best known as a member ofthe Runaways, Nico Minoruhas gained more attention recently thanks to her appearance inMarvel’s Midnight Suns. She is a blood witch and the daughter of two dark wizards who are members of the criminal organization known as the Pride. After learning of her parents' villainous activities, Nico is attacked by her mother who stabs her with the mystical Staff of One which Nico’s body absorbs, granting her its power. Being able to call forth and wield the Staff of One has made Nico a powerful sorceress, and its inability to cast the same spell twice could make for an interesting mechanic inMarvel Snap.
Peggy Carter/Captain Carter
Peggy Carter acts as the main love interest for Steve Rogers in theCaptain Americacomics, but also plays an important role in the fight against Hydra as a member of S.H.I.E.L.D. She is the great-aunt of Sharon Carter, who already appears inMarvel Snapas Agent 13. She could also appear as Captain Carter from theWhat If…?animated series where it’s Peggy who receives the supersoldier serum rather than Steve. The inclusion of Captain Carter would be a great way forMarvel Snapto iterateon the Captain America card, as it has done with cards of other related characters.
Speedball
Robbie Baldwin is transformed into the hero Speedball after being bombarded with extra-dimensional energy at Hammond Research Laboratory. The resulting exposure gave him the power to bounce at high speeds using kinetic energy and allowed him to take on criminals, using his power to protect himself from harm with a bubble of kinetic energy. While not the most well-known hero, Speedball does team up with Spider-Man and Daredevil during a battle with Kingpin. He could offer some uniquemovement abilities toMarvel Snapbased on “bouncing” cards around the field or back to the player’s hand.
Frog-Man
After adopting the Leap-Frog suit from his criminal father, Eugene Patilio dons the name Frog-Man and uses his father’s suit to help those in need. However, Frog-Man is comically inept at being a superhero, often finding himself in more trouble than those he’s trying to help. Although he sees himself as a rival of fellowMarvel hero Spider-Man, the two heroes are not even close in skill level. Frog-Man would make for an excellent gimmick card inMarvel Snapthanks to his notoriety as a clumsy, bumbling superhero through his Marvel Comics appearances.
