As a player in the Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game, you can create your own hero from scratch, or you can take on the role of any of the legendary Marvel heroes you already know and love. You decide the actions your hero performs within the game, and your hero’s profile (as recorded on your character sheet) helps determine what they can do and how well they do it.

We call the one-page descriptions of Marvel characters in game terms a character profile. You can find dozens of them in Chapter 8, and you can use them in your game. If you’re a player, you should probably stick to using a hero, while the Narrator can control the villains—and everyone else in the game.

Each character profile has a number of elements that help define the character through a set of statistics and descriptions.

If you’re playing as an established Marvel character, you should transcribe the information from their profile onto a character sheet, which is designed to make it easier to reference and use the information during play. If you’re creating your own character for the game, you can just fill in a fresh character sheet directly.
