SEATTLE, WA – February 1, 2002 – WizKids, Inc is proud to announce their new collectable miniatures game, Marvel HeroClix: Infinity Challenge will be available nationwide beginning May 1, 2002 to coincide with the release of the Spider-Man motion picture.

“We’re excited to be able to combine Marvel’s stable of characters with our combat-dial game,” said Jordan Weisman, WizKids owner and founder. “Marvel HeroClix is a great game that’s easy-to-learn, fun to play, and features beautifully painted miniatures of many of the best Marvel Comics’ characters.”

“Marvel HeroClix is a game about super-heroic action,” said Jim Long, Design Director. “It’s action packed and includes superpowers that let your characters fly, bash your enemies with lamp posts, knock them around, and a bunch of other special abilities. Plus it does all of this in a game that’s fast and interesting, but easy enough for anyone to play.”
