MARVEL.COM LAUNCHES WEBSITE FOR NEW ANIMATED SERIES

THE SUPER HERO SQUAD SHOW

Hero Up Online!

To support the debut of the all new animated series, The Super Hero Squad Show on the Cartoon Network, Marvel.com has launched a new website for the series, www.superherosquad.com .

The Super Hero Squad Show is an action-packed series produced by Marvel Animation featuring super-stylized versions of Marvel's most popular characters. When the greatest heroes on the planet unite to face the world's greatest villains, you get the biggest, most family-friendly Super Hero team-up in TV history... The Super Hero Squad Show. It's no small job protecting Super Hero City from VillainVille's infamous criminals... but Iron Man, Wolverine, the Hulk, the Silver Surfer, Thor and the Falcon are always up for the job.

Shouting "Hero Up!" as they rush into battle, the Squad must keep Dr. Doom's allies from gathering pieces of the Infinity Sword. Otherwise, Doom will use the Sword to rule the universe! Luckily, the City is filled with Marvel Super Hero guest-stars to help out in a pinch. These brave heroes totally deliver the action - but with plenty of humor on the side.

Highlights of The Super Hero Squad Show website include character bios, music video, trailers, special episodes and a featured character per episode. The website will also include a new casual game every monththrough December. The first two games available are "Skrull Invasion and "Solitaire." The games section will also include tips and hints, flash online, screenshots and trailers.

No Marvel website would be complete without comics! The Super Hero Squad Show website will feature comic strips and an all new Create Your Own Comic Book application.

This exciting new feature is intended to provide comic enthusiasts the ability to quickly create their own comic strips based on Marvel characters. Marvel's objective is to give comic enthusiasts a forum to express their ideas for their favorite characters and create a viral program for Marvel to expand brand awareness. As with Create Your Own Super Hero, participants will be able to share their comics with friends and family via a simple email link, thus enabling a limited viral promotion capability. CYOC will be designed to present a simple multiple-screen spread to encourage users to engage and get started quickly, and to maximize the viral potential of the application. Users can also utilize Super Heroes created in the Create Your Own Super Hero in their comics, and may also optionally select to publish their comics to the Marvel Gallery.
