Back in Marvel Contest of Champions’ Battlerealm, things seem to be working out great for Miles, Peter, and Gwen. Hence, they decide to bring more supes from the Spider-Verse. Spider-Punk quickly agrees but is secretly followed by the Prowler, who’s about to wreak havoc. Double trouble awaits you because the Prowler isn’t who you think it is.

Normally, when you think of the Prowler, you think of Aaron Davis, Miles’ uncle. This time, things are a little different because the mantle is donned by Hobie Brown, a smart kid who turns to the dark side in an effort to regain control of his life. He eventually does change for the better, though, after realising the damage he could cause.

Check out this list of the best characters in Marvel CoC right now!

Why double trouble? Well, Spider-Punk, our hero, is also Hobie Brown. Known for beating the totalitarian President Norman Ozzy Osborn and the V.E.N.O.M. symbiote, our second Hobie is an absolute rockstar. With peace nearly attained, Spider-Punk rocks out with his guitar whenever he wants.

They will be accompanied by Act 8 Chapter 4 of the game’s main storyline, which reveals Ouroboros’ quest to begin a Battlerealm-wide war. It is up to you to stop him and Glykhan and put an end to all this terror.
