Marvel superheroes save the day at Newark's Prudential Center

Avengers assemble!

And not in Gotham City, Wakanda or Asgard either. This time, they're assembling at Newark's Prudential Center, where Marvel Universe Live! Age of Heroes will save the world for eight performances Thursday through Sunday.

All your favorite Marvel characters will be flying, teleporting and web-slinging onto Prudential's stage in a big stunt show full of pyrotechnics, martial arts, motorcycle stunts, aerial thrills and 3D visual effects.

Movie: 'Black Panther' is here, and so, maybe, is a new day for Hollywood

Black Panther, Hollywood's newest sensation, will be there, of course. So will Spider Man, Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow, Wasp, Iron Fist, The Guardians of the Galaxy and Doctor Strange.

And needless to say, Feld Entertainment (they're the folks who brought you the late, lamented Ringling Bros. circus, as well as many other big ice shows and monster truck spectaculars) have made sure the heroes have villains worthy of their attention. Loki, Yondu and Green Goblin are among the bad guys in this scenario about rescuing the Wand of Watoomb before it falls into the hands of the wrong super-people.

Showtimes are 7 p.m. Thursday, 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. Friday, 11, a.m., 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday, and 12 p.m. and 4 p.m. Sunday.
