==Characters== ===Heroes=== [[File:Msharcadegame.png|right|300px|thumb|''[[Spider-Man]]'' fights ''[[Captain America]]'', in a ''Marvel Super Heroes'' snapshot.]] *'''[[Captain America]]''' uses [[Captain America's shield|''his shield'']] for most of his attacks. His stage is a post-apocalyptic [[New York harbor]] with the [[Statue of Liberty]] partially submerged and ruined in the background. *'''[[Hulk (comics)|The Incredible Hulk]]''' (Based on the [[The Incredible Hulk#Merged Hulk ("The Professor")|"Professor"]] persona) is a slow, but powerful character. His attacks involve the use of [[Gamma radiation|gamma]] energy and strength. His stage is a desolate [[carnival]]. *'''[[Iron Man]]''' uses [[energy]] attacks that include [[Charged particle beam|beam]]s and blasts as well as explosives. He can also fly. His stage is the headquarters of his [[alter ego]]'s company, [[Stark Industries]]. *'''[[Psylocke]]''' uses [[ninjutsu]] and [[telepathy]] ("psi-flash" projectiles, telepathic illusions, and psychic blade attacks) like her incarnation in the previous game. Her stage in this game is the top of a moving [[train]] in [[Tokyo]]. *'''[[Spider-Man]]''''s attacks are based on his [[Spider web|web]] abilities as well as his great amount of [[Sport agility|agility]]. His stage is on a [[scaffold]] that is going up and across the [[Daily Bugle]] infinite building. *'''[[Wolverine (comics)|Wolverine]]''' also has a lot of agility. Like in ''X-Men: Children of the Atom'', he has moves related to his powerful brawling and clawing skills. Wolverine's stage is a wooden [[bridge]] somewhere in [[Canada]]. The bridge is breakable and will float on the raging [[river]] below, going down until reaching a [[waterfall]] which the loser of the bout will fall into. ===Villains=== *'''[[Blackheart]]''' is tall and somewhat slow, but he has powerful [[dark magic]] and [[demon]]-summoning attacks. His stage is Mephisto's Realm. *'''[[Juggernaut (comics)|Juggernaut]]''', unlike his previous incarnation, is faster in this game but has lost much of his strength and invulnerability. However, he is still slower than the other characters, he usually ignores the first hit of any combo, and his attacks can still devastate the opponent. Like in ''X-Men: Children of the Atom'', Juggernaut can still pick up objects from the ground that he can use against enemies. His stage is an [[United States|American]] [[port]]. *'''[[Magneto (comics)|Magneto]]''' is also much weaker in this incarnation than in ''[[X-Men: Children of the Atom]]''. A number of his attacks that he had when he was a boss have been taken away. However, like Juggernaut, Magneto is still very powerful. He has a great amount of agility, and his attacks are mainly [[magnetic]] and energy-based. He can also fly. Magneto's stage is [[Asteroid M]] as it approaches the [[Sun]]. *'''[[Shuma-Gorath]]''' mainly uses [[Magic (paranormal)|magic]] attacks as well as attacks that take advantage of his unique shape. He can also absorb [[life energy]] from another character with one of his attacks. Shuma-Gorath's stage is his own domain, the [[chaos]] dimension. Shuma-Gorath's stage also has the distinction of having no walls once the small stage barrier is broken, preventing corner traps. *'''[[Doctor Doom]]''' (sub-boss) takes great advantage of his [[armor]]'s abilities and uses magical attacks as well. His armor grants him the ability to do beam and energy attacks. Doom also has the ability to fly with his [[jet pack]]s. His stage is a [[submarine]] of his that starts out at the bottom of the [[sea]] and makes its way to the surface. *'''[[Thanos]]''' (last [[boss (video games)|boss]], main antagonist) has a great number of attacks, mostly centered around the gems. While he can use his titanic strength to do normal attacks against opponents, he can use the gems to devastate them. Thanos can perform a super move for each of the six gems. He also has great agility, which is surprising for a character of his size. Thanos's stage is his shrine to [[Death (Marvel Comics)|Death]] where the [[Avengers (comics)|Avengers]] can be seen as frozen statues. Once Thanos is defeated by any of the superheroes, the statues are unfrozen and the heroes are saved. If any of the villains defeats Thanos, the ending screen will appear. On the arcade version of the game, Dr. Doom or Thanos can be chosen via a code at the selection screen. However, if the game is completed with Thanos, Magneto's ending text will be displayed. Artwork unique to this ending suggests that a true ending for him was planned, but not completed. Thanos has a correct ending in the console ports. ===Hidden fighter=== *'''[[List of characters in the Darkstalkers series#Anita|Anita]]''' (from the ''[[Darkstalkers]]'' series) appears as a hidden character in the Japanese version of the game. She appears to be unfinished, since she has no name under the lifebar, her name isn't announced at the end of rounds (though it is printed on the screen), she has Thanos' portrait, win screen, and win quotes, and she's called Thanos on the vs. screen. Furthermore, she has no ending. Instead, if the player beats the game with her, the credits will be shown twice. Her attacks are very incomplete. Most of them do not have audio, and one uses the sprite of [[Akuma]] from ''[[Super Street Fighter II Turbo]]''. She also uses ''Dylec'', the sword that Donovan uses, in her attacks. Since this game used a similar game engine as the aforementioned game, it is speculated that Anita might actually be a leftover from the game engine code.
