Create a one-of-a-kind superhero and watch their story unfold in Origin Story. Begin with a mysterious backstory, recruit valuable allies, collect powerful gadgets and face an archenemy before revealing the ultimate ability that completes your transformation.

Each game follows five chapters, with new Story Cards gradually adding powers and opportunities to your personal play area. Play cards to win or avoid tricks, charge abilities with stamina and choose whether your hero or villain alignment offers the best route to victory. Changing card combinations ensure that every character develops differently.
