Marvel Cosmic Invasion: Unlock All Characters

Introduction: Marvel Cosmic Invasion hides four bonus heroes behind its campaign. Each appears as a boss in a specific mission, and beating that mission adds them to your roster for Arcade mode. Here is exactly where to find each one.

How Unlocks Work

Each hidden character is the boss of a campaign mission. Defeat that mission and the hero unlocks — after which they become available in Arcade mode. You do not need anything special beyond clearing the right stage.

The Four Hidden Heroes

PhoenixMission 7Blue Area of the Moon
VenomMission 9Destromundo
Phyla-VellMission 11Hala
Silver SurferMission 14Fort Galactus
Note: Mission numbering can vary slightly by version (some list Venom around Mission 8–9 and Silver Surfer around 13–14), but the stage names — Blue Area of the Moon, Destromundo, Hala, and Fort Galactus — are the reliable markers.

Timeline & Tips

Phoenix is the earliest hidden hero you can grab, on the Blue Area of the Moon. Playing the campaign normally, you will pick up all four within roughly 3–4 hours. Silver Surfer is the last, gated behind Fort Galactus near the end of the campaign.

Pro Tip: Since each hero unlocks for Arcade mode after their mission, just play the campaign straight through — you will naturally collect the entire roster without any detours.
