Angela: Asgard's Assassin is coming to Marvel Heroes 2016, and we have the exclusive first look at her character model. The character is a unique one - she was originally created in the pages of Spawn comics at Image Comics, and brought to Marvel in a landmark character ownership agreement.

When brought to the Marvel Comics universe, Angela was retconned into the backstory of Thor - as his birth sister, daughter to Odin and Freyja. Presumed killed during a war between Asgard and the Tenth Realm (up until then it was Nine Realms in this world), she was actually taken by the "Angels" in that world. Odin, punishing them, cut them off from the other nine realms, and she remained their for years, growing up under the impression that Asgard were evil aggressors.

Now, Angela comes to Marvel Heroes, where she'll be the 59th playable hero. Announced back in January, this is the first look at her character model. While Gazillion couldn't release her full power trees, they did say to expect her to play with a style familiar to fans of her character in the comics, and she'll be available later in August.
