Bewitched and Bewildered Champions

Wicked Champions this way comes! Summoner's Choice 2026 fan vote Colossus (Age of Apocalypse) makes his official debut, while Ghost Rider (Robbie Reyes) toils up trouble in The Battlerealm! Players can obtain Colossus (Age of Apocalypse) on October 15, and Ghost Rider (Robbie Reyes) on October 29. With over 350 Champions in The Contest, players can also add other classic Marvel Super Heroes and Villains such as Mephisto, Magik, Blade, Morbius, and more.

• Colossus (Age of Apocalypse): A Soviet Super Soldier turned steely mutant freedom fighter. In this universe, Piotr Rasputin is a severe and erratic force against the Age of Apocalypse. Life-threatening battle wounds have left him unable to revert to his human form.
• Ghost Rider (Robbie Reyes): Robbie Reyes is a young mechanic from East Los Angeles who becomes the Ghost Rider after a tragic event leaves him bonded to a powerful supernatural spirit, his late uncle Eli Morrow.
• Event Quest – Closer to the Edge [October 7 – November 4]: Doctor Strange and Spider-Man 2099 have been missing for months, they finally reappear only to notify The Summoner that this twisted Web of Corruption is far from over! It turns out that The Battlerealm itself is splitting apart at the seams, and nothing is as it seems. Calling for help results in Ghost Rider (Robbie Reyes) and Colossus (Age of Apocalypse) to get dragged into this Battlerealm bedlam! Hopefully, they'll be able to restore reality and push back this latest wave of corruption.
