  The Dreaded… Ms. Marvel Please note that this article was originally written in 2022 Whether it is The Dread Dormammu or The Dreaded Stark, there’s no character in the Marvel Crisis Protocol Universe which fails to send a shiver down the spine of their enemies… at least some of the time. Today let’s look at The Dreaded… Ms. Marvel I will freely admit that it is impossible for me to assess Ms. Marvel objectively. Kamala Khan and her struggles to balance home, school and superheroism were the comics that drew me back in after more than a decade away. If it wasn’t for those fantastic stories my love for Marvel would be nowhere near as high and I probably wouldn’t have been anywhere near as interested in Crisis Protocol when it dropped.

  The Dreaded…   Mister Sinister! Please Note: This article was originally written in early 2022. Whether it is The Dread Dormammu or The Dreaded Stark, there’s no character in the Marvel Crisis Protocol Universe which fails to send a shiver down the spine of their enemies… at least some of the time. Today let’s look at The Dreaded… Mister Sinister! Welcome to the first in a series of articles I am putting together to draw attention to some of the characters and their unique interplay within Marvel Crisis Protocol. With over 100 characters either in the game or revealed and spoiled, all of which can play under the 24 (!!) leaderships currently available, there’s a truly vast number of different combinations which can provide huge variety in the play experiences on the table. In this series I want to try and draw attention to some characters or playstyles which I think tend to fall a little under the radar. Let’s begin with the one who inspired this whole series for m...
