Disney's Club Penguin Members Suit Up as Marvel Characters
Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada, April 25, in the year
of our Lord 2013 – Penguins are once again assembling
as Marvel Super Heroes and Super Villains in Disney’s Club
Penguin, the #1 virtual world for kids, for this year’s all-new
Marvel Super Hero Takeover event.
Starting today, penguins will be called to defend the city of
Penguintropolis and bring members dressed as Marvel Super
Villains to justice before they take over with their destructive
robots. After choosing sides, members can suit up in over 25
Marvel costumes like Super Heroes Iron Man, She-Hulk, Captain
America and Sif or the more mischievous ensembles of Marvel
Super Villains like the Mandarin and Loki.
“Last year’s partnership event with Marvel was extremely
popular, and at that time, became the most-trafficked event in
our history,” said Chris Heatherly, Vice President and General
Manager, Disney Interactive Worlds. “This year we’ve made the
Marvel Super Hero Takeover Event even more epic for players with
twice the amount of Marvel Super Hero and Super Villain costume
options and deeper, more action-packed gameplay and storylines.”
“The fan reaction from last year’s Marvel Super Hero Takeover
was tremendous, so we are excited to once again give fans the
opportunity to dress up as their favorite Marvel Super Heroes in
Club Penguin,” said Andreea Enache-Thune, Senior Vice-President
of Marvel Games. “This year we were able to expand upon last
year’s offering by including cool new costumes from our upcoming
Marvel animated series on Disney XD.”
During the Marvel Super Hero Takeover event:
Members can suit up in 27 different Marvel Super Hero and Super
Villain costumes, while all players can dress as cops, robbers
and civilians.
Super Heroes can plan their defense strategy in the Hero Lab,
while Super Villains can scheme in the Villain HQ, building
eight different kinds of destructive robots.
Members can buy new super igloos like the Secret Base, an
impenetrable HQ perfect for Super Heroes, while Super Villains
will feel right at home in the new Creepy Cavern.
· Marvel costumes feature characters from the new animated
series "Marvel's Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H." including
