Marvel Contest of Champions launches new event that gives its heroes and villains giant heads

Marvel Contest of Champions has today launched a timely, light-hearted event that gives some of its most popular heroes and villains a giant head.

So how's this come about, then? Well, Deadpool has gone and nicked Pym Particles from Ant-Man, and is now using them to wreak havoc on The Battlerealm. One of the side effects of his shenanigans happens to be the aforementioned giant heads.

It's up to you to head out and discover who has been afflicted with this terrible, cumbersome curse, leading up to an epic boss fight against Ultron Prime.

Here's a full list of all the characters affected. Avert your eyes now if you'd rather discover them for yourself:

  • Iceman
  • Cull Obsidian
  • Gambit
  • Ghost
  • Human Torch
  • Thing
  • Groot
  • Sentinel
  • Magneto

The event has now begun and will run until 10am PT on April 4th. Unfortunately, the game's servers are currently down for a spot of emergency maintenance, meaning you'll have a bit longer to wait before getting stuck in. 

If you're yet to give Marvel Contest of Champions a go, you'll find it available for download now as a free-to-play title from both the App Store and Google Play.

On the hunt for some top-tier mobile fighters? Well, you're in luck! Here are 25 of the very best for iPhone and iPad
