Marvel Super Heroes Assemble on Disney’s Club Penguin

13 June 2012 by Suzannah Otis 1 Comment

Club Penguin Marvel Super Hero TakeoverWith the recent record-breaking box-office success of Marvel’s The Avengers, the Marvel phenomenon is set to hit Disney’s Club Penguin. The “Marvel Super Hero Takeover”  will be the biggest event in the history of the #1 virtual world for kids.  It’s the first time Club Penguin will bring an outside franchise into the world. In the event, kids can dress up as Marvel Super Heroes (Thor, Hulk, Iron Man, etc!) or Super-Villains, join teams to defend or defeat the evil Destructobot, explore the superhero headquarters, and more.

Here’s all the official info from Club Penguin:

Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada, June 13th – Marvel mania has reached all the way to Club Penguin Island, the #1 Virtual world for kids, as penguins assemble for the Marvel Super Hero Takeover, an epic online event starting June 14th through July 3rd.

A meteor has hit the island of Club Penguin, powering up the dangerous Destructobot. Players can choose to suit up as one of 14 Marvel Super Heroes or Super-Villains, including Avengers characters such as Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, and Thor, as well as the mischievous Super-Villain Loki.

“Everyone wants to feel special and believe that they can do something that no one else can do. That optimism is what drives both Club Penguin and the Marvel story lines and characters,” said Lane Merrifield, co-founder of Club Penguin and executive vice president of Disney Interactive Worlds. “Club Penguin and Marvel characters are the perfect match, and I’m sure our players will love it!”

“Bringing our worlds together marks a major milestone for both Marvel and Club Penguin,” said Rob Steffens, Executive Vice President of Marvel Entertainment. “Reactions from the fans are already tremendous, and we’re thrilled that we’re able to bring Marvel and Club Penguin together for such an epic event.”

About Suzannah Otis

A child of the 80's, Zanna climbed trees and roller-skated till the streetlights came on. She sipped her her first iced coffee at age 10 and never looked back. Growing up outside of Boston, all of these things shaped her life, as did the original EPCOT Center, which brought her where she is today.

Zanna is the mother of 2 adult humans, a 13-year old (also human), and 6 (yes, 6) cats. She is also the wife to one husband, who lovingly puts up with all of the above. Zanna tries to find that one little spark in everything, and thanks you very much for taking the time to read this.
