The Mandarin manipulates secrets to turn Avenger against Avenger.
The Mandarin and his Rings
Mandarin’s Rings are the first Henchman Group that isn’t 10 identical cards. Instead, it’s 10 unique cards. When using these with a Mastermind besides Mandarin, they represent blasts of power from a distance, without facing the full might of Mandarin in person.
Locations
The Revelations set adds a completely new card type to Marvel Legendary®; Locations. These cards represent infamous strongholds in the Marvel Universe. Every Villain Group in the set contains at least one Location.
- When a Location is played from the Villain Deck, place it above the nearest city space that does not have a Location. Leave enough room that Villains can move through the city as normal.
- Once placed, Locations don’t move. Villains don’t push Locations forward. You can have a Villain in a city space that has a Location above it.
- Most Locations specify special abilities that happen when you fight Villains in that space. Some Locations become stronger when there’s a Villain in that space. Some Villains and Masterminds say they become stronger based on Locations.
- You can fight a Location by spending the listed amount of , putting it into your Victory Pile, and doing any Fight ability the Location may have.
- If a new Location is played, and every city space already has a Location, then KO the Location with the lowest to make room. (If tied, the current player chooses.) This might KO the newly played Location or one of the previous Locations.
- In 1-player solo mode, when a Location tells “each other player” to do something, do it yourself.
Location Clarifications
- Locations do not count as Villains. Special abilities that mention Villains do not work on Locations.
- If a Mastermind or Scheme destroys a city space with a Location, KO that Location.
- A city space with a Location above it and no Villains still counts as “empty” for abilities.
- Each Mastermind in the set has at least one Tactic that becomes a Location. You win when the Mastermind has no face down Tactics left under them. You don’t also have to defeat all the Tactic cards that have turned into Locations in the city.
- Locations don’t usually capture Bystanders, but some card abilities can make them capture Bystanders. Rescue them when you fight that Location.
With all those Locations, it would be a shame if we added more spaces to the board.

When will distributors get part codes or a solicitation for this expansion?
Will the Mandarin be too easy for Solo mode?
In solo mode, there is usually 8 Villains and 3 Henchmen (i.e. 11 cards), I assume the Mandarin’s Villain deck will only include the 10 Henchmen Rings and no cards from a Villain group, with all the Henchmen having just 3 attack.
Why not use the 8 villains and three random Rings?
