Special Effects on Cards
Leadership: Give a Wild token from the pool to another Hero. Steve only has one ability, and he only needs one. Cap is the consummate team player. He gifts other players with wild tokens that can be used for any other symbol. Again, this is very thematic for the character. Everyone likes when someone chooses to play Cap.
Overview
Cap is a well-balanced character, but he does favor Heroics more than attack. He can clear Threat cards that require Heroics and rescue civilians, while still contributing some toward battling thugs and henchmen.
He’s certainly a character folks should consider as they play Marvel United for the first time. He only has one ability that’s easy to follow. “Leadership” is a team favorite. No one will say no to extra Wild tokens.
Cap also fares well against all the core set villains, but the one he may struggle with the most (because Cap doesn’t have the most damage) may be Red Skull. It’s almost like they’re nemeses or something.
Note: Remember to time completing the first and second missions as close together as possible to avoid the villain speeding up too soon. Cap’s extra Wild tokens can help avoid this.
Good Teammates
Most characters will work with Captain America. He can make up for a lot of shortcomings with other characters because he’s a balanced character who grants Wild tokens to his teammates. That said, I’d lean more with characters who favor Attack and Move. Hulk, Wasp, Iron Man, and Black Widow from the core set are good choices.
