Blizzard Lockbox Quests
During the Season, we will be running a special event to give away Blizzard Lockboxes. Each day, you’ll receive a quest called, “Beat the Heat”. This quest will reward 5 Iceboxes upon completing the Daily Mission and 5 PVP Fights.

This quest runs for 15 days, slightly longer than the PVP season.

New Lockbox Hero: Blizzard
Bio: During his years working for Hammer Industries as a hired goon, Donald Gill had a troubled conscience. He had access to the powerful 'Blizzard Battlesuit', which could create blasts of intense cold, walls of ice, and other chilling effects, but he did not want to be used as a cog in a life of crime. He wanted to belong to a team and help those around him. He had been given opportunities to reform in the past, including a brief run with The Thunderbolts, but it was a recent encounter with Chase Stein which created the possibility of working with S.H.I.E.L.D.

New Hero: Spider-Man 2099
Bio: In a future-alternate reality, Miguel O'Hara worked for the Alchemax Corporation as a geneticist specializing in gene splicing. When an experiment to imprint new genetic codes went awry and resulted in the test subject's death, Miguel attempted to quit but was secretly drugged by Tyler Stone, the head of Alchemax. Now addicted to Rapture, Miguel would be forced to remain at Alchemax, since they were the sole manufacturer of the drug. Miguel decided to use the imprinting experiment on himself in order to rid him of the addiction instead of being Alchemax's puppet. However, an attempted sabotage during the experiment resulted in splicing Miguel's genetic codes with that of a spider, gaining abilities similar to the Spider-Man of the past. Repurposing a costume for the Day of the Dead, Miguel became the Spider-Man of 2099, battling Alchemax and injustice in Nueva York.
