Marvel Contest of Champions adds Photon and Vox as playable characters within the mobile fighting game

Kabam has announced a new addition to the hit mobile fighting game Marvel Contest of Champions, letting players wield the might of Monica Rambeau as she rages against the Super-Inhuman Vox. In particular, players can see the two new characters in all their glory with the all-new Champion Reveal Trailer "Vanishing Point".

In the latest update to Marvel Contest of Champions, you can look forward to getting to know Monica Rambeau a little better, with her past as a harbour patrol officer in the Navy and her super-heroic transformation into Photon after an encounter with some extra-dimensional energy. With her newfound abilities, Photon can convert her body mass into energy - she has even gone up against Galactus himself in the past.

As for the Vox, this genetically engineered race was created by the Kree from a brainwashed Inhuman, and their lack of humanity is what makes them extremely dangerous. If you're wondering which team synergies you should use for the game, why not take a look at our list of the best Marvel Contest of Champions teams?
