Within the confines of a high-security prison built to contain the most dangerous threats, Graviton remains locked away, seemingly powerless without his ability to manipulate gravity. But unknown to his captors, he has discovered a new source of power—dark matter, an unseen force woven into the very fabric of the cosmos.
With this newfound strength, he shatters his restraints and ignites a seismic uprising, tearing through the prison’s walls. In the ensuing chaos, the Masters of Evil, long held captive by S.H.I.E.L.D., seize their chance to break free and join Graviton's rebellion. Now, the fate of the world hangs in the balance.
Graviton – Dark Matter is a fan-made scenario for Marvel Champions LCG, featuring Graviton as a formidable villain and introducing the Dark Matter modular set. This scenario consists of 27 cards—21 from the Graviton set and 6 from the Dark Matter set.
Graviton's mastery over gravity will push you to the brink, forcing you to exhaust more than you can afford, while he slowly but inexorably transforms into a black hole. Will you be able to stop him before it's too late?
Graviton
is a formidable foe.
Not only does he bring heroes and their allies to their knees the moment he enters a
new stage
, but he also refuses to go down easily—what should have been a finishing blow might not be enough to stop him.
His transformation into a
Black Hole
may be slow, but it feels inexorable, forcing you to exhaust characters just to hold him back. The encounter deck may deplete faster than expected as Graviton grows stronger, pulling you deeper into his gravitational grip.
At the heart of his power lies
Dark Matter
, a permanent setup card that starts in play, delaying the readiness of your assets or increasing their cost. This relentless force fuels Graviton’s resurgence, making every decision critical.
As if that weren’t enough, his
prison
break has also unleashed other dangerous inmates. If left
unchecked
, they will rise to confront you, turning the battle into an escalating crisis.
You’ll need to ensure that Graviton doesn’t pull the
Moon
too close, threatening Earth's destruction, or link himself to the
Sun
, where his gravity field could render him nearly unstoppable. And while the
city collapses
under his sheer power, beware his devastating gravitational
blast
, which can leave you completely defenseless at the worst possible moment.
This scenario was developed by @XB, with invaluable contributions from @supertnt73 and many others from the Marvel Champions LCG Homebrew Discord server, as part of a game-science project for International Dark Matter Day 2023.
Every year on October 31, the scientific community dedicated to Dark Matter research shares its passion with the world. As a researcher myself, I hope you’ll enjoy this 2023 project—where science and strategy collide in the battle against Graviton!
