==Story== There does not appear to be a concrete story behind each game in the series, although several plot points run across the various games of the series. However, various pairs of characters - typically one Marvel and one Capcom, were often partnered with each other during gameplay (although later games randomized the partnerships so that it was possible to complete the game facing all Marvel or all Capcom teams). There has been confirmation that in ''Marvel vs. Capcom 3'', unlike previous installments, the subtitle, ''Fate of Two Worlds'', will actually tie into the game storyline and plot.<ref>[http://360.kombo.com/article.php?artid=18825 Capcom Officially Unveils Marvel vs. Capcom 3 with Teaser Trailer, Art and First Info; World Rejoices]</ref> However, several interesting (but obviously non-canonical to both Marvel and Capcom continuities) side-plots did emerge throughout the series, some of which contradict the others: * In ''X-Men vs. Street Fighter,'' ** [[Psylocke]] is the one who rescues the amnesiac [[Cammy]], who lost her memory after the battle with [[Apocalypse (comics)|Apocalypse]], from [[The Hand (comics)|The Hand]] and its leader, [[Matsu'o Tsurayaba]]. Three years later, she joins the British special forces unit, Delta Red. ** [[Wolverine (comics)|Wolverine]] seeks [[Akuma (Street Fighter)|Akuma]] in Japan as he believes Akuma has information about his own past. However, in order to get the information from Akuma, he must win a fight to the death. ** [[Jubilee (comics)|Jubilee]] greets Wolverine and Ryu. Wolverine, then, teaches her about Ryu's honor and has found respect for him. ** [[Sabretooth (comics)|Sabretooth]] engages in a final battle with Wolverine, after defeating everyone he has come across. Ryu, Chun-Li, and Charlie were among those Sabretooth have beaten. ** [[Zangief]] and [[Colossus (comics)|Colossus]] defend [[Russia]] against [[Omega Red]]. ** [[Storm (comics)|Storm]] and [[Gambit (comics)|Gambit]] rescue [[Forge (comics)|Forge]], [[Dan Hibiki|Dan]], [[Sakura Kasugano|Sakura]], and the rest of the X-Men and Street Fighters. As Storm was about to rekindle her relationship with Forge, [[Shuma-Gorath]] breaks free and all five of them do battle against him, putting Storm's love for Forge on hold. ** [[M. Bison]] gives [[Rogue (comics)|Rogue]] an offer to become human but declines, refusing to be under his control. This lead to her questioning her mutant powers. Chun-Li dismisses her by responding that she can throw fireballs. Later on, Gambit approaches Rogue and consoles her, appreciating the way she is. ** [[Chun-Li]] was made an honorary member of the [[X-Men]], despite the lack of mutant powers on her part. Ryu is also offered membership in both the X-Men and Avengers, but turns it down both times, preferring to continue on his own path. ** [[Magneto (comics)|Magneto]] and [[M. Bison]] team up, intending on betraying each other at a later time. In Magneto's ending, Magneto eventually manages to get the upper hand and kills Bison, with the [[Shadaloo]] Grand Masters ([[Balrog (Street Fighter)|Balrog]], [[Vega (Street Fighter)|Vega]], and [[Sagat]]) joining him afterwards, fearful of Magneto's power. The opposite happens in M. Bison's ending. ** [[Charlie (Street Fighter)|Charlie]] is [[kidnapping|kidnapped]] by M. Bison, who uses Shadaloo's technology to transform him to a super-soldier henchman known as Shadow. This prompts [[Guile (Street Fighter)|Guile]] to seek revenge against M. Bison. * In ''Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter,'' ** Apocalypse captures Akuma and turns him into Cyber-Akuma. ** Confirming Charlie's ending from the previous game, Shadow appears as a selectable character. In M. Bison's ending, a completely mechanical Charlie (built with the technology behind Cyber-Akuma) follows Bison's orders to spread fear and destruction in the name of Shadaloo. ** Ryu reunites with Cyclops and they both take down Cyber-Akuma. ** In a follow-up from ''X-Men vs. Street Fighter,'' Wolverine and Akuma continue their rivalry. This time, Akuma stalks Wolverine, who defeats Cyber-Akuma, and is ready to reveal his past if Wolverine concedes to a duel with him. Therefore, Wolverine accept Akuma's ultimatum. ** In the [[Hulk (comics)|Hulk]]'s ending, he initiates a conversation with [[Blanka (Street Fighter)|Blanka]] and agrees to help find Blanka's mother. ** In Omega Red's ending, he apparently kills [[Ryu (Street Fighter)|Ryu]], prompting [[Ken Masters|Ken]] to also seek revenge. ** In Chun-Li's ending, she reports to Interpol with the capture of various Marvel characters and Street Fighters, including Spider-Man, Wolverine, Hulk, Shuma-Gorath, Ken, Zangief, and Sakura. ** In [[Dan Hibiki|Dan]]'s ending, Akuma is hinted to be his father. However, this ending, much like Dan himself, is a [[parody]] of the ''[[Art of Fighting]]'' series. In this case, the ending to the first game. ** In [[Dhalsim]]'s ending, he welcomes Shuma-Gorath to his home in India. ** In Akuma's ending, Dan is turned into Cyber-Dan by Apocalypse. He is very easily defeated by Akuma, though. ** In Ken's endings, the events of the games never actually happened. In ''X-Men vs. Street Fighter'', he was playing the game itself with his son Mel, while the events of ''Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter'' appear to be a dream. He wakes up and continues his training with Ryu. * In ''Marvel vs. Capcom,'' ** When [[Onslaught (comics)|Onslaught]] emerges, [[Charles Xavier]] subconsciously calls the Capcom heroes to help stop himself. ** After the demise of Onslaught, Captain America gathers the Capcom heroes and transported them back to their world. ** Shadow turns on M. Bison, who then tries to subject Chun-Li to the same fate. ** In [[Chun-Li|Shadow Lady]]'s ending, [[Cyberbots: Full Metal Madness|Jin Saotome]] is attacked by M. Bison and left near death. Shadow Lady and fellow cyborg [[Charlie (Street Fighter)|Shadow]] find Jin and to prevent his death, they modify him into a being like themselves. ** In Jin's ending, he disappers after defeating Onslaught, with Ryu vowing that one day he would return. ** In Ryu's ending, Ken takes his protégé [[Sean (Street Fighter)|Sean]] to see him to continue his training. ** In the Hulk's ending, [[Captain America]] sacrifices himself to destroy Onslaught (in a scene similar to the [[canon (fiction)|canonical]] [[Onslaught Saga]]). ** In Zangief's ending, he, in his Iron Body form, battles Jin's Cyberbot, Blodia. ** In Gambit's ending, he flirts with Morrigan until Rogue intervenes and takes him away. ** In Morrigan's ending, she doesn't find anyone who can provide a challenge for her. Ryu, then, steps up to accept her challenge in a game of [[Puzzle Fighter]]. ** An unspecified accident causes Morrigan's mind to be transferred into the body of her sister, Lilith, and vice versa. When the two attempt to return their minds to their rightful bodies, Zangief interrupts. It is heavily implied that this results in Morrigan and Zangief's minds trading bodies. ** [[List of Mega Man characters#Roll|Roll]] defeats Onslaught before [[Mega Man (character)|Mega Man]] does and is given enhanced powers by [[List of Mega Man characters#Dr. Light|Dr. Light]], leaving Mega Man in disdain.
