Trivia

 * The April 2013's Issue #16 of the Club Penguin Magazine had a Super Charged Special, with a free Incredible Hero Suit.
 * It will be the first Marvel Super Hero Takeover to occur in the month of April.
 * It will be an entirely different party compared to last year, with new heroes and villains, consisting 25 different costumes, and new locations from the Marvel Universe. There are also many secrets yet to be discovered.
 * According to the UK website, there will be a Hero Lab and Villain HQ. It is unknown if these are the same party rooms from last year, or if they are brand new.
 * Villains will be able to build robots at the Villain HQ, located in the sewer under the Cove Harbor, by following the Secret Tunnel, to attack the city. These robots will be controlled by The Mandarin, apparently. This further proves that this party is mainly about Iron Man 3, because The Mandarin is the main villain in the film.
 * The slogan for this party is New Heroes. New Villains. A New Battle.
 * The Plaza will be the City Centre, the Forest will be like Central Park, and the Cove is a Harbor. The Pizza Parlor bank and The Stage police station will return, most likely with new designs. The Central Park at the Forest for the party is a special Earth Day room, according to Polo Field.
 * According to the April 2013 Parent Update, Club Penguin Island will be known as Penguintropolis during the party.
 * In some rooms, power crystals are lying around, which may give the Super Heroes and Super Villains powers, similar to how the Purple Super Hero Meteorite gave them powers last year.
 * The Prototype Sled was thought to be destroyed along with the rest of the Gadget Room and PSA in the Popcorn Explosion, but it may be at the Marvel Super Hero Takeover 2013 based off of a sneak peek at the Club Penguin Summit, where destructables such as the Prototype Sled will be fished out by the crane at the Cove Harbor.
 * The new costumes this year are for the Thor comics, the upcoming 2013 film Iron Man 3, the upcoming animated TV series Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H., and one costume related to the animated TV series Ultimate Spider-Man.
 * There will be three special party Emoticons: a Money Bag Emote, a Police Siren Emote, and a third unknown emote.
