Team Insignias
Team Insignias are a new item type to Marvel Heroes. These insignias are themed to the various teams that characters in Marvel comics often align themselves with and heroes can only equip insignias for teams they have been a part of in the past. Each insignia grants a team aura and insignias of higher quality can grant anywhere from 1-2 additional aura affixes.
Each insignia is flavored to a specific member of its associated team. For example, there is a Professor X insignia for the X-Men that, in addition to its team aura, grants teammates a chance to summon Professor X (who will toss out massive psionic attacks) whenever they deal damage.
