Developers Wizkids and N.E.C.A. have announced that HeroClix Online, the digital re-imagining of the real-world collectibles game, will receive access to heroes from the very popular Avengers squad from comic book creator Marvel starting with April 18.

Gamers can first get the characters by using codes that are found in physical collectible figure sets, and starting with April 26, all digital packs will also be offered.

The Avengers Starter Pack will include access to: Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, Black Widow, Hawkeye and Hulk.

All of them are starting options for players who are new to HeroClix Online.

The Single Figure Boosters for The Avengers include: Thor, Hulk, Nick Fury, Captain America, Iron Man, Agent Coulson, Skrull Infiltrator, Hawkeye, Tony Stark and Heimdall.

The introduction of The Avengers to HeroClix Online comes just as the movie version of the super hero squad makes its debut all over the world and the developers are counting on interest for the live action experience to boost their own player numbers.
