This set would probably qualify as one of the signs
of the coming of the apocalypse. This set had more than a few cards
that completely broke the game entirely. Fortunately, all of these
breaks have been taken care of, if you have read up on all the rule "changes."
All of which should be on my errata page.
Now for the reasons why you must buy this set, at least eventually.
The two major reasons are the introduction of Locations and the reprints
of the Onslaught character card promos [although the second one will do
you little good if you do not have any of their Specials]. In addition
to those two, there are several characters in this set that see a lot of
serious play time.
Unfortunately, we must take the bad with the good.
This set continued with more Doubleshot cards, a failed new card type.
The starter decks, while they were the only places to find the Mission
cards and the Any Team Locations Marvel Manhattan and Marvel Universe,
were usually unplayable. Sometimes the starter deck would only contain
3 of the required 4 characters to play and/or would include some power
cards that could not be played by the characters that were included.
I think I even remember hearing some accounts of starter decks that contained
duplicate characters and their respective Specials.
