As mentioned, players logging in to the game will receive 4-star Champions Hulking & Wiccan. All existing and new gamers who download the title are eligible for the reward. Hulking, also known as Theodore “Teddy” Altman, is a mutant possessing superstrength and shape-shifting abilities in this.

He knew he was a hybrid of Skrull and Kree alien races when Super-Skrull hunted and revealed the secret. Additionally, as a member of the Skrull Royal Family, he claimed the throne and mythical star sword - Excelsior.

After discovering his powers, the reincarnated son of Scarlet Witch, Wiccan, was recruited into the New Avengers. Originally known as William “Billy” Kaplan, he was created through Chaos Magic, which was later dispelled. Both these champions made their Marvel Contest of Champions debut in June 2022.
