Other new features include the ability to view the defender kills for each Champion, view your opponent’s offensive Champion information during Attack Phase, plus various Champion updates and improvements.
MARVEL Contest of Champions version 8.0.0 is available for free on the Apple App Store. The game loosely follows the events of the 1982 comic book series, Contest of Champions.

It takes place after the events of Avengers: Age of Ultron and pits Team Cap against Team Ironman as the world's mightiest heroes clash after the government decides it should monitor superhero activity. The film stars Chris Evans as Steve Rogers / Captain America, Robert Downey, Jr. as Tony Stark / Iron Man and it includes first time Marvel cinematic appearances from Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman) and Spider-Man (Tom Holland).
