Hero Drafts is a free browser game where friends bid on random characters, build squads and let them fight. It is an independent, non-commercial fan project: no ads, no purchases, no accounts to upsell.
Is it official?
No. Hero Drafts is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to Marvel, Disney, Lucasfilm, Middle-earth Enterprises, Skybound or Image Comics. Character names, stats and images belong to their respective owners and are used here as a fan tribute.
Where do the characters come from?
Marvel characters and their stats come from the open SuperHero API dataset published on GitHub by akabab. Star Wars, Middle-earth and Invincible characters were compiled by hand, with images from the respective Fandom wikis and, for Star Wars, the official Databank on StarWars.com. Images are loaded from those hosts rather than copied.
If you own something shown here and want it removed or credited differently, send a message through the feedback bubble in the bottom-right corner and it will be taken care of.
How is it built?
The game is a React app talking to a Node server over WebSockets, hosted on Render behind Cloudflare, with a database on Turso. Passwords are hashed with bcrypt and never stored in plain text. The privacy page has the full list of what is stored.
