Three More Reasons to Be Bad: New Marvel: Crisis Protocol Set Arrives in December

Not every villain seeks domination. Some crave chaos, vengeance, or the thrill of the hunt. Blackheart, Jack O’Lantern, and Orb join the fight.

Two miniature figures on bases: one with a skeletal, armored design, glowing red flames on head and chest, holding a hammer, standing on a rocky surface; another with a muscular, black-skinned figure with a spiked helmet, flexing arms, surrounded by fire.

Atomic Mass Games is bringing another unusual trio of villains to Marvel: Crisis Protocol, with Blackheart, Jack O’Lantern & Orb scheduled for release on 18th December 2026, with the Character Pack retailing for $54.99/£49.99

The set explores Marvel’s stranger corners, pairing Blackheart’s appetite for suffering with Jack O’Lantern’s enthusiasm for mayhem and Orb’s rather literal eye for attention. It’s an eccentric combination that should appeal to collectors who enjoy seeing the game reach beyond Marvel’s household names.

Inside the box are three miniatures and bases, three Character Stat Cards and three Team Tactic Cards. The miniatures are supplied unassembled and unpainted, offering hobbyists a suitably sinister painting project for the Christmas break.
