Recruited by a criminal organization that outfitted him with the deadly boomerangs he came to be known by, Fred became a mercenary for hire.

Still, it's hard to find good help, and Fred found opportunities to earn a living. Hearing of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s incredible benefits from Constrictor and Taskmaster, Fred decided it was worth a shot to put his skills to use against his peers instead of trying to earn their approval.

Marvel Avengers Alliance: Forum Patch Notes 2015/14/5

General Improvements
The MAA team continues to improve the game based on your feedback to keep it fun and balanced for all players.

Changes to Quick Actions
Quick Actions can only be performed once per round. Once a Quick Action has been performed, a new affliction will be applied to the character called Stalled, which will lock out any Quick Actions on that character, preventing them from being performed. While Exhausted, Quick Actions will become Normal Actions and function just the same as any action or ability without the Quick Action or Free Action Special Property.

Introducing Free Actions
Free Actions are a new Special Property that will grant an extra turn after using the applied action. Any number of Free Actions can be performed in a single round, cooldowns permitting. Using a Free Action does not lock out any other abilities. While Exhausted, Free Actions will become Quick Actions and function just the same as an action with the Quick Action Special Property.

Converted Into Free Actions

Marvel Avengers Alliance: Special Operation 26 Patch Note

A sudden rise in global terrorist attacks by U.L.T.I.M.A.T.U.M. has been effective at keeping S.H.I.E.L.D. busy...perhaps a little too busy. What started as a series of seemingly random attacks now feels like a systematic exploration of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s responses, like pawns testing an opponent's defenses. It's time for the Avengers to assemble, as a familiar foe makes his calculated rise to power, threatening the world.

Features
Spec Op 26 features a bonus Epic Battle, with exclusive Empowered Iso-8 rewards.

Dates
Start: 4/23/2015
End: 5/25/2015 @ 11:00 Pacific (18:00 UTC)

Rewards
Iron Man MK. 43 Armor with Hulkbuster Uniform
New Empowered Iso-8
Legionnaire Gear Set

Spec Op 26 Reward Uniform: Iron Man Mark 43 & Hulkbuster

Bio – Visionary, playboy, billionaire, Tony Stark is one of the founding Avengers and—thanks to the constantly evolving Iron Man armor—one of the more formidable combat assets in S.H.I.E.L.D.’s arsenal.

While investigating his parent’s workshop, Chase came across many of his parent’s inventions, including a pair of X-Ray Goggles and a set of weaponized Fistigons.
