In fact Ms. Marvel is not born with real superpowers, but buys them after A-Day, which is the triggering event in the history of Marvel's Avengers.

Kamala is an Inhuman and has the ability to stretch their limbs out of all proportion. It is also capable of becoming gigantic and dealing a lot of damage to enemies in this state. It's up to her to bring all the Avengers together and let you use them all.

Iron Man has appalling mobility within the game thanks to its ability to fly. The player will be able to freely use the flight to move quickly around the map and avoid enemy attacks. It does not end there, as thanks to the technology of his armor he can release powerful laser beams exploitable both at short range and from long distance.

Natasha Romanoff will make an appearance during this mission and will manage to save Kamala Khan from a bad situation. The character really is very strong when it comes to one-on-one fights, thanks to the numerous resources at its disposal.

Black Widow does not possess particular superpowers, but she is very skilled in the use of martial arts. It also has a grapple which, used at the right time, allows you to bargain enemies in a lethal way. Not to mention the gun that adds third person shooter mechanics to the game, which makes Black Widow a unique character on the Marvel's Avengers roster.

Thor and Captain America - Marvel's Avengers: how to get and unlock all characters

Like all Marvel's Avengers characters, Captain America and Thor can also be obtained and unlocked through campaign missions. The God of Thunder and Chap are unlocked simultaneously in the mission "Testing ... 1 ... 2 ... 3 ..." when you have reassembled the whole team. We do not go into further details with the plot as this is the conclusion of the campaign and we do not want to give you any spoilers.

Thor can fly too, as well as using the powers related to the element of lightning. Furthermore he can throw his own hammer and call him back by introducing a playful mechanic that cannot fail to remind Kratos from God of War. Captain America, on the other hand, does not possess the amazing powers of the God of Asgard, but is able to use his shield to the fullest. He is a rather balanced character, strong in one-on-one, but possessing very useful skills even against groups of enemies.

An even faster method!

By completing the campaign you will then have reunited the Avengers and you can play the side missions with all the characters present up to now. However, there is a faster method if you don't want to wait for the campaign to finish.
