It’s referred to as the “Hasbro Marvel Legends Sequence Gamerverse Marvel Snap Savage Land 3-Pack” and consists of Rogue, Sauron (no, not that one), and Shanna the She-Satan, every as they’re seen within the Savage Land season of Snap, the digital card gathering/competitors recreation. Rogue is a personality everyone knows and love, whereas Sauron and Shanna appear extra like characters we want we knew higher, as a result of we’d positively love them.

His powers are just like Rogue’s in that he can take in and use powers, besides he’s a flying dinosaur. (He’s additionally the main target of an notorious meme referencing a comic book panel from Spider-Man and the X-Males #2, by which Spider-Man encourages him to make use of his powers to treatment most cancers—and he retorts again “I don’t need to treatment most cancers.
