Avengers Initiative - Marvel's Avengers: how to change characters

Above we have explained how to change characters during the main Marvel's Avengers campaign, but in case you are playing in mode Avengers initiative then the procedure will be different. Avengers initiative represents the multiplayer of the game and will allow you to complete various missions together with other players. The first time you start this mode, however, you will not be able to change characters and you will be forced to complete the initial tutorial with Iron Man.


Thankfully this introductory mission is quite quick and you'll just have to win a challenge room and activate the war table to complete it. Also once the tutorial is finished you can immediately play with your favorite superhero, without having to waste time unlocking it again. But remember that you will not be able to use the same hero already selected by another player, so we suggest you be as quick as possible when selecting your character.
