Unique Icon (u)

The unique icon indicates a card that represents a singular person, place, or thing within the Marvel universe.

  • Two unique cards are considered to “match” if any of the following apply:

    • The two cards share a title, and both have no subtitle and no alter-ego title.

      (For example, two copies of the Jarnbjorn upgrade, or the Jessica Jones ally and the Jessica Jones minion.)

    • The subtitle or alter-ego title of one matches the title, subtitle, or alter-ego title of the other.

      (For example, the identity with the T’Challa alter-ego, the T’Challa ally, and the Black Panther ally with the subtitle “T’Challa” are all considered to match.)

  • A player cannot include multiple matching cards in their deck. The identity is included in this evaluation.

  • When choosing identities during setup, players cannot choose identities that match.

    • The players may choose a scenario even if one or more villains match one or more chosen identities.

  • A non-villain card in an out-of-play state that matches a card in play cannot enter play. If the out-of-play card is:

    • A player card, it cannot be played or put into play. Any effect that attempts to do so has no effect.

    • A non-villain encounter card, it is discarded and any effects of it entering play are ignored. If it was being revealed, any effects of it being revealed are ignored and the player revealing it is dealt a facedown encounter card.
