The latest character in Marvel's Midnight Suns to get the spotlight treatment is Captain Marvel, AKA Carol Danvers, and in a new trailer, we get to see the ways in which she can dominate the battlefield.
Captain Marvel uses a unique mechanic that revolves around her Binary ability. You fill the Binary meter by using action cards, and once full, you will receive a free card called Go Binary. This grants Captain Marvel a stack of Block and doubles her damage output. The damage bonus is lost if her Block ever reaches zero, which is reduced as she takes damage.
With many cards that grant the Taunt and Counter effects, Captain Marvel's playstyle is geared towards drawing enemy aggro and punishing opponents with powerful counter-attacks.
Previously, we've seen Captain America and Iron Man get gameplay trailers of their own. In other news, Marvel's Midnight Suns has been hit with a delay, and will no longer be released on 7th October.

punish me captain
It’s probably impossible but I’d love a video game based on the true original Captain Marvel. The guy with a green suit. I can imagine the critics losing their sht though 😅
I want the devs to realize their full vision for this game but I’d be lying if I said the multiple delays haven’t dulled my excitement a bit.
I’m all for not getting Cyberpunked but we can only give our attention (and $) to so many games each year. Here’s hoping there aren’t any further delays. 🤞🏼
She looks like a man in the thumbnail picture imo
@JJ2 Unfortunately, the best thing the original Captain Mar-vell did was die. Most of his early stories were kind of a mess with writers struggling to land on a consistent version of the character. Then a young Jim Starlin wrote an instant classic graphic novel that had him die from an incurable disease. Definitely worth reading, but would make for a bit of a somber game. Would probably be a critical darling though.
Still baffles me that they put a card system into the game instead of just the skills that you unlock. Are they trying to sell card packs for real money?
@Amnesiac
Oh I only mean the origin story my older brother showed me when I was about 10 and that was awesome to me. Would make for a fantastic game / movie and that’s always what I think about just mentioning ‘Marvel’.
I saw it’s on kindle books so it’s not completely erased from history yet 😳
Yes its the original setting I’m talking about. 👍🏻
The story can evolve in some way remaining true to the character.
Edit
It’s a bit like talking about the Silver Surfer. It’s the original awesome setting that matters. New stories can develop from it.
@Athrum No card packs to buy. It's just an easy way of introducing a bit of randomness into each battle, same with back 4 blood. Arguably it's not a bad thing though, xcom became a joke with certain skills.
@JJ2 The early Silver Surfer stuff is great, but I’m a sucker for his 90’s Infinity Gauntlet era. That’s a character that could do with a good game. I still have nightmares from the soul crushing LJN Silver Surfer NES game.
And the first Captain Mar-Vell is definitely not getting erased. Marvel is publishing the entire original run in an Omnibus edition early next year.
@Amnesiac
Oh great then. I’m not really following Marvel universe and I mostly dislike the movies (apart from WonderWoman which is about the only character that is better in movies than in comics to my opinion).
I’m just going with childhood memories haha
@nessisonett I would've added the snoo snoo meme from Futurama but I don't know how to insert pictures into comments lol
It's strange, I love X-Com, I really enjoyed the card game based Thronebreaker (Gwent) and I like a lot of Marvel stuff but I just have very little enthusiasm for this.
I will have to keep an eye on the reviews or see if they do a demo to maybe raise my interest.
Looking forward to playing as all of the characters!
