Marvel Legends Showdown

Marvel Legends Showdown (initially named Marvel Superhero Showdown) is a collectible tabletop game in which the primary component is action figures and cards. It was a collaboration between Upper Deck Entertainment and Toy Biz (Now known as Marvel Toys). The game was played on at least a 3×4 grid of "panel cards".

Panel cards broke into two categories; "Locations" (places in the Marvel Universe) and "plot twist" (special events that occurred on that space). The goal was to move around the panel card grid and knock out your opponents character with punches, kicks, or shooting them with an included projectile launchers. Once one

player did three damage to a character, they were out of the game. The more characters on each side, the larger the panel grid had to be. (2 on 2 a 4×4 grid, 3 on 3 a 5×5 grid, 4 on 4 and 6×6 grid and so on) It was released in 2005 with two starters and two waves of five boosters each. The set was renamed Legends

Showdown to tie it in to the popular Marvel Legends figures. The first two starters and booster sets were re-released with the new name, plus 2 new starters, 3 rider packs, and two new waves of boosters (Though these two waves 3 and 4 had limited release, seen in comic shops and Kay-Bee Toys shelves rarely). Toy Biz

changed its name to Marvel Toys and then sold the rights to all Marvel action figure properties to Hasbro. Marvel Legends Showdown was not one of the product lines that transferred over. The starters included 2 figures, 2 projectile launchers, 3 power cards for each figure, 12 Panel cards, and 2 dice.
