## DLC Character Packs

*Main article: The Avengers vs. The Rangers/DLC Character Pack Example*
Confirmed by design director Anakin Nakamura, *The Avengers vs. The Rangers* might become a crossover game as DLC Character Packs might contain characters from third-party franchises and that some DLC Character Packs will probably be developed and created by third-party developers not owned by Activision.

DLC Character Packs that only contain characters are available for $5.99 while Packs that include both characters and a new Stage are available for $8.99. However if purchasing the Character Pass, all DLC packs are available for free.

## Trivia

* The alternate version of the Marvel heroes are alternate Canadian versions.
* Captain Marvel and her alternate Canadian rival Captain America were originally going to appear in the game, however both were cut before release.
	+ Design director Anakin Nakamura confirmed that the reason why she was cut was because her solo Marvel Cinematic Universe film *Captain Marvel* wasn't released yet, and was deemed inappropriate to include her.
* Iron Fist is the only available hero who has the ability to heal himself.
* Originally, all heroes were going to have skins but these were cut before released due to time constraints.
* It is currently unknown whether or not the Rangers in this game are part of the same timeline as *The Rangers: Awakening of Heroes* as no mention of that game's events is heard.
