Swing into action with The Amazing Spider-Season! See what we did there? This month, we're introducing our first ALL-NEW ABILITY: Activate. And we're unleashing the power of Symbiote Spider-Man, our friendly neighborhood hero in his iconic black suit. If you thought YOU looked good in black, wait until you see Peter! With newfound strength and agility, he's ready to tackle the city’s toughest challenges. But beware—this suit comes with a dark side!
OUR FIRST EVER NEW ABILITY: ACTIVATE
Activate is Marvel SNAP’s FIRST BRAND NEW ABILITY. The best part about this new Ability is that YOU get to choose when the Ability triggers.Cards with Activate must be played and resolved prior to using their Ability. On the following turn, press and hold the Card until the “Activated!” message appears. To deactivate the ability, simply press and hold the Card again until it's deactivated, or click the Energy icon and select the “Undo All Actions” button.This new mechanic opens up even more potential strategies, as YOU get to choose when their ability will trigger! Do you activate it as soon as possible? Or keep your opponent guessing and wait until turn 6? We’re super excited about all of the new possibilities, so let’s check out the new Activate cards coming this season!
SEASON PASS

Any On Reveal abilities will happen again as if they were just revealed!
