Disney’s Club Penguin’s Marvel Super Hero Takeover event
Do we have any Club Penguin fans? What about Marvel super hero fans? Well, penguins are now assembling as Marvel Super Heroes and Super Villains in Disney’s Club Penguin for this year’s all-new Marvel Super Hero Takeover event. Disney’s Club Penguin is the number one virtual world for kids. Penguins are called to defend the city of Penguintropolis by bringing members dressed as Marvel Super Villains to justice before they take over. Members will first choose sides and then can suit up in over 25 Marvel costumes.
“Last year’s partnership event with Marvel was extremely popular, and at that time, became the most-trafficked event in our history,” said Chris Heatherly, Vice President and General Manager, Disney Interactive Worlds. “This year we’ve made the Marvel Super Hero Takeover Event even more epic for players with twice the amount of Marvel Super Hero and Super Villain costume options and deeper, more action-packed gameplay and storylines.”
