Marvel Contest of Champions – X-Men: Prodigal Son update

Kabam‘s Marvel Contest of Champions teases two new Mutants arriving to the Battlerealm in the Prodigal Son update: featuring Jubilee and Stryfe! A little blurb about the upcoming update seems to be building up to a certain confrontation:

The peaceful Mutant lands of Krakoa have been attacked by a powerful, yet unseen, force. Cable has reluctantly teamed up with a young mutant to track down whoever could be capable of such an attack, but will their search for this mysterious foe bring peace, or assured destruction? 

Join them on their journey to uncover the secrets of the past, the present, and the future!

Then the character bios for the upcoming characters:

Jubilee grew up in a wealthy family, attending a private school and becoming an exceptional gymnast. However, her life took an unexpected turn when her parents were assassinated, leaving her orphaned. After manifesting her explosive mutant powers she was welcomed with open arms into a new family, the X-Men.

A child was created as a clone of infant “Nathan Summers” in the hopes of salvaging his techno-organic virus ravished body. Thinking this child to be Nathan, Apocalypse kidnapped him, giving him the name Stryfe in preparation to one day transfer his own consciousness into Stryfe’s body. Later discovering that he was actually a clone and unfit to house his essence, Apocalypse abandoned Stryfe. Feeling betrayed by both what he thought was his real parents and his adoptive father Apocalypse, Stryfe grew up as an embittered madman seeking vengeance on those who wronged him.

Both characters will be arriving to the game in January while you can check out the all-new motion comic below for the Prodigal Son update in Marvel Contest of Champions!
