"NEW CHAMPIONS
Count Nefaria
Count Luchino Nefaria was the descendant of a long line of Italian noblemen, and used his wealth and connections to become a powerful leader within the Maggia crime syndicate. He furthered his rise to power by subjecting himself to scientific experiments that granted him superhuman abilities, but cost him his life. He was later resurrected as a being made entirely of Ionic energy, rendering him effectively immortal as long as he drains other Ionic beings to maintain his power.
Shathra
Daughter of the Elder Goddesses Oshtur and Gaea, Shathra comes from the world that would come to be known as Loomworld. Shathra was tasked with creating the Celestial Map of Humanity, however, after being outdone by her younger sister Neith, she became enraged with jealousy and spite towards her sister and the Great Web she had designed. Consumed by her vengeance and envy, Shathra gave into her feral nature to tear down everything her sister created, one Spider at a time.
NEW QUESTS AND EVENTS

Both *Marvel Future Fight* and *Marvel Contest of Champions* are offering exciting events that are well worth checking out. Whether you're a long-time fan or someone who's drifted away from these games, now's a great time to jump back in. Personally, I'm intrigued by Count Nefaria in *Contest of Champions*—his nefarious charm is hard to resist. So, give these updates a try and see what the Marvel universe has in store for you!
