Super Hero Squad Online: Swashbuckling Nightcrawler Arrives

BAMF!

That’s a sound that can only mean one thing: Nightcrawler has just left the building. Or maybe entered the building, depending.

And it’s not just any teleporting mutant we’re talking about here, but Swashbuckling Nightcrawler, the newest playable character to hit Super Hero Squad Online. What exactly makes him ready to buckle some swashes?

Well, he’s got two cutlasses, for starters, and a coll headband. But it’s his abilities that really complete the theme, including Pirate Boot, Bladed Fury and Tail Spin Strike. If you happen to be a Jr. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent, you can grab him now during the Early Access period while everyone else turns green with envy for the next week. Maybe blue in this case.

In the meantime, it’s another “The Score is Right” Survival Mode Weekend. Eric “Eat Snacks” has racked up a secret score of 5XXXX in the Monster Smash! Survival Crisis Edition, and if you’re one of the first five players to match his score, you’ll get another character who would feel right at home with Swashbuckling Nightcrawler on his first day of release: Pirate Deadpool! You don’t want to miss out on the Buccaneer Bandit with a Mouth (I just made that up, BTW), so jump into this weekend’s event and see if you can score him for free.

Speaking of free, if you still haven’t played Super Hero Squad Online for some reason, you can download it for free at www.heroup.com.
