Whether you’re starting Marvel Cosmic Invasion on launch day or playing it through Xbox Game Pass, you’ll find a wide variety of heroes from the Marvel universe to choose from.
However, some of the most famous characters must be unlocked before you can play as them. Here’s the full list of characters in Marvel Cosmic Invasion and how to unlock each one.
Every Character in Marvel Cosmic Invasion & How to Unlock Them
Everyone Is Available at the Start During Story Mode
All of these heroes are unlocked automatically and can be played right away:
- Captain America
- Nova (Richard Ryder)
- Storm
- Wolverine
- Spider-Man
- Beta Ray Bill
- Black Panther
- Cosmic Ghost Rider (Frank Castle)
- Iron Man
- Rocket Raccoon
- She-Hulk
Unlockable Heroes
There are four heroes you unlock by completing specific parts of the campaign:
- Dark Phoenix — Finish the Blue Area of the Moon mission
- Venom — Complete the Destromundo mission
- Phyla-Vell — Finish the Hala mission
- Silver Surfer — Complete the Fort Galactus mission
Keep in mind, Silver Surfer is the last character you’ll unlock, happening near the end of the game. Phyla-Vell was also available in earlier demo versions. These two can be a bit tricky to find because they are unlocked later in the game.
Leveling Up Characters
All heroes can be leveled up as you play. Basic characters can be used from the very beginning and will start gaining experience immediately. As you progress through the campaign and unlock new heroes, you’ll need to level them up from scratch.
Your character’s level affects how well you perform in stages. If you’d like a bigger challenge, try using lower-level heroes for later levels. The game also encourages playing certain characters in specific stages, but you’re free to choose who you want to use.
Remember, as you unlock new characters, you’ll want to level them up to be ready for tougher battles. Keep this in mind as you progress!
