Marvel Champions Fear No Evil: Grading the Defenders Expansion

Fantasy Flight Games releases Marvel Champions: Fear No Evil on July 24, 2026, the game's ninth campaign expansion. Featuring Daredevil, Echo, Kingpin and the Defenders, this 276-card box is the biggest release of the year for Marvel Champions collectors.

Marvel Champions: The Card Game is getting its ninth campaign expansion on July 24, 2026. Fear No Evil brings the Defenders to the forefront with two playable heroes — Daredevil and Echo — plus a campaign against Kingpin and his underlings including Bullseye, Electro and Purple Man. The box includes 276 cards and retails for $47.99, and it requires the base game to play.

What's New in Fear No Evil?

Fear No Evil breaks new ground for Marvel Champions by including six scenarios instead of the usual five. Five of those scenarios can be mixed and matched with different villains, creating a variable campaign experience. The expansion also launches a new wave of hero packs: Jessica Jones and Luke Cage on August 21, 2026, followed by Shadowland, Elektra and Iron Fist later in the year.

Top Fear No Evil Cards to Grade

• Daredevil and Echo hero cards — First appearance in the game, strong collector demand.
• Kingpin villain cards and signature schemes — Iconic villain, likely to be reprinted but first-printing premium exists.
• Defenders ally cards — Luke Cage, Jessica Jones and Iron Fist tie-ins.
• Extended art and foil cards — Premium treatments in campaign expansions.
• First-printing campaign cards — Early sets of Marvel Champions have held value better than reprints.

Should Marvel Champions Cards Be Graded?

Marvel Champions is an LCG with fixed deck contents, so cards are not randomized like booster-pack TCGs. Grading is more about preservation and display than chase value. However, first-printing hero cards, foil treatments and limited promos can justify grading for serious collectors. The key is to pre-grade for condition and centering before paying slab fees.

Conclusion

Fear No Evil is the biggest Marvel Champions release of 2026. Collectors in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles should pre-grade the Daredevil and Echo hero cards, preserve the Kingpin villain set, and submit only the pristine copies to PSA or BGS.
