The Cosmic Cube is a dangerous artifact in the Avengers lore, and self-proclaimed Scientist Supreme Monica Rappaccini in Marvel’s Avengers has taken its power for her own. Believing she could stop a Kree invasion, the Avengers know this to not be true and put a stop to her scheme. However, there are still trails of Cosmic energy left from Monica’s experiments, and the Cosmic Threat Event will have you control your cast of Heroes to save the day once more.

Cosmic Threat Event Mission Chains

After beating the Beating the Odds Villain Sector for the first time, you will unlock the main A Cosmic Threat mission chain, along with mission chains relating to each Hero in the game. All of these mission chains involve using these characters’ Heroic Abilities against enemies a certain amount of time. Additionally, there will be Cosmic Threat Sector versions of existing missions on the War Table — these will be indicated by a yellow circular emblem that resembles an atom.

During these missions, you will deal Cosmic damage as you attack foes, and this effect will be indicated by a yellow status effect above their health bars.

Cosmic Threat Event Rewards

Completing the wider A Cosmic Threat mission chain will earn you a Cosmic Threat Team nameplace, along with two pieces of Tachyon Surge Gear; they will be melee and defensive gear of Exotic Quality, but only if the hero you completed the chain with is at Hero Power Level 120 or above. Otherwise, your Hero will be granted with random gear. Completing a Hero-specific mission chain will grant that Hero with Tachyon Surge Gear of Exotic Quality, but again, only if they are Hero Power Level 120 or above — random gear is the reward if that isn’t the case.
