NPC is a conventional abbreviation used in gaming communities that translates as Non-Player Characters — i.e. characters that are interactable in some way, but not playable. In case of Marvel Tsum Tsum game this term refers to such Tsums that appear as Battle bosses or summons, but the player cannot obtain them for their collection and put them into their team.

The following Tsums that can be viewed as NPCs are present in the game as of April 2017.

Thanos[]

Thanos

ThanosLink-MarvelDB appeared as the boss of the Thanos Invasion event which took place in the end of 2016 — beginning of 2017. On the course of this event the player would encounter Thanos as the opponent after defeating one of his lieutenants — Proxima MidnightProxima Midnight or Corvus GlaiveCorvus Glaive. This battle had a number of unique mechanics. As a tsum, Thanos is neither Power, nor Blast nor Speed, so no particular character would have a class advantage. He didn't have any moves or special attacks, his only attack was a punch with Infinity gloveLink-MarvelDB that took a third of the opposing team's HP regardless of the amount. Only Amadeus Cho's Guts ability could allow the players to survive more than three punches. After the players' team was knocked out, for some time period it was possible to restart the battle without Thanos regaining his HP.
