  • Examples include Thor’s persistent Awakened state, Magik’s unlimited Darkchild form, Jeff’s charge, Blade’s bouncing Moon Blades, and Punisher’s deployable automatic turret.
  • Positioned as a Halloween limited-time event, the mode’s duration and rewards have not been detailed, and PS4 availability remains unconfirmed.
