** ComicBook/{{Shuri}}'s basic attack is a good utility tool, but it is limited to just one point of damage per use. Her real strength comes from her superpowers: "Upgrades" lets her spend power to re-roll her teammate's dice, and "Head of Wakanda R&D" lets her gain power when she rolls critical failure results, giving her an extra passive source of power. Her secondary weapon, "Sonic Crush", is also a guaranteed stun with a chance to stagger enemies, overall making her a great superhero for controlling enemies who close in on her and her teammates.

** '''Sentinels''' Elitist/Brute. A pure Sentinel list is going to have maybe four models total, as fielding both Sentinels and the Prime comes in at a pricey 13 Threat. But while it's slow-moving, the sheer amount of damage that they put out once in range 3 can easily knock out most characters in a single activation. They struggle on missions with distant objectives due to lack of board control, however.

** '''ComicBook/BlackOrder''': Elitist/Gimmick. The Black Order are a tightly-knit but powerful affiliation built around controlling your opponents and taking them out, which they can gain easy victory points from doing. They have a major gimmick with the Infinity Stones, which can be equipped by characters to grant them powerful abilities, but take up space on your character roster. Their big weakness is that they are very expensive to field; for example, a basic Black Order list involving Thanos, Corvus Glaive and Proxima Midnight along with the Mind and Reality Stones equals a whopping 15 threat for just 3 characters. An opponent who is able to split up and focus down the Black Order, or earn lots of quick victory points early in the game before they can get going, stands a good chance against them.

** Doctor Voodoo is accompanied by Brother Daniel, the spirit of his deceased brother. Brother Daniel starts the game attached to Doctor Voodoo, giving him a buff to his stats and his ability to throw objects. He also has the "Possession" which moves Brother Daniel to an enemy; debuffing himself but forcing that enemy to drop any objective and prevents them from interacting with objectives while Brother Daniel is with them. Brother Daniel can move back to Doctor Voodoo either at the start of his turn for free, or in response to an enemy attack for a power cost.

** '''Dark Dimension''': Gimmick/Economist. The Dark Dimension are unique among affiliations for how leader-centric they are. Dormammu's leadership ability, "Flames of the Faltine", forces him to become your team's leader and turns every other character into a member of the Dark Dimension, meaning Dormammu will always dominate his lists in a way that is rarely true of other leaders. Dormammu is next to Thanos as the game's strongest character; expensive but with a statline and ability list to back it up. His leadership ability pushes the Dark Dimension away from being a strictly Elitist affiliation however, as larger teams of weaker characters are best-positioned to benefit from Flames of the Faltine's ability of improving power generation at the cost of harming characters who earn too much.

* HeroShooter: The game is essentially a tabletop adaption of the genre. Though the powers and abilities each character possesses can vary greatly, characters typically have the same sort of load out structure: a free 'builder' attack for you to obtain power with, a more powerful 'spender' which acts as an ultimate attack, the occasional attack which serves as something in-between the two, and a range of both passive abilities and ones which you must spend power to use.

''Marvel: Crisis Protocol'' is a miniatures game based on the Franchise/MarvelUniverse, created by Atomic Mass Games and first released in 2019.

The game takes place across a 36" x 36" battlefield, with the primary objective of the game being to collect more victory points than your opponent. Victory points are acquired by completing objectives, which are chosen at the start of the game by choosing a pair of Crisis cards, representing a "Secure" objective and an "Extraction" objective. Players assemble a squad of superheroes to take on the two objectives, choosing from a roster of ten that they prepared at the start of the game; though the hero and villain divide is optional during roster building, you do gain bonuses by building a roster around a canonical team. With the additional help of "Team Tactics" cards which can create mid-game events, the game ends once either six rounds have passed, or one player earns 16 victory points.
