History VideoGame / MarvelSuperHeroes

The roster retained Wolverine, Psylocke, Juggernaut, and Magneto, from the previous game, and was diversified with the additions of CaptainAmerica, Comicbook/{{Spider-Man}}, IronMan, Comicbook/TheIncredibleHulk, [[Comicbook/GhostRider Black]][[{{Daredevil}} heart]], and Shuma-Gorath (a Comicbook/DoctorStrange / Kull The Conqueror villain [[AdaptationDisplacement more people know about from these games than the comics]]). A secret character from Capcom's own character library, Anita (the little girl that accompanied Donovan in ''[[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Night Warriors]]'' who fights in her own right here), is also present and [[CapcomVsWhatever continued the tradition]] set by Akuma in ''X-Men: Children of the Atom''.

* TheCameo: Many characters appear in the endings and on the stages. Thor, She-Hulk, Scarlet Witch, Nova, Drax the Destroyer and Iron Fist appear on Thanos' stage as statues and are broken free in the heroes' endings. Also Adam Warlock in Juggernaut's ending and Cyclops in Wolverine's ending (as well as the other X-Men who were not brought over from ''Children of the Atom'', plus Jean Grey, in Psylocke's ending). For Thor, She-Hulk, Nova and Iron Fist it also counts as an [[EarlyBirdCameo Early Bird]] [[MarvelVsCapcom3 Cameo]] of sorts.

* MultipleEndings: Thanos in the console ports has an ending where the player can choose to seize even more power with the Infinity Gauntlet, or renounce it and become a simple farmer on a distant planet.

'''Marvel Super Heroes''' is the SpiritualSuccessor of ''VideoGame/XMenChildrenOfTheAtom''. It was released in 1995.

The roster retained Wolverine, Psylocke, Juggernaut, and Magneto, from the previous game, and was diversified with the additions of CaptainAmerica, Comicbook/{{Spider-Man}}, IronMan, Comicbook/TheIncredibleHulk, [[GhostRider Black]][[{{Daredevil}} heart]], and Shuma-Gorath (a Comicbook/DoctorStrange[=/=]KullTheConqueror villain [[AdaptationDisplacement more people know about from these games than the comics]]).

The game was based (loosely) on the miniseries ''ComicBook/TheInfinityGauntlet'', and featured the Gems as power-ups that could be gained and used in battle. Each Gem had a different default ability, while each character had an affinity for a certain gem that would make them even stronger when they used it. After fighting the other heroes and villains for the Gems, the player faced down [[DrDoom Dr. Doom]], before trying to get the final gem from {{Thanos}}.

* AdaptationDisplacement: To some extent. Out of all the playable characters, Psylocke, Magneto, Shuma-Gorath, Juggernaut and Blackheart never appeared in the Infinity Gauntlet storyline. Also, despite the Gauntlet story being used as a backdrop, the heroes, instead of teaming up to fight Thanos, fight each other as well as the villains to acquire all but the Mind Infinity Gem, which is in Thanos' possession.

* LifeDrain: Used by Shuma-Gorath in one of his normal throws. Also by Thanos in his Soul Gem infinity combo.

* UpdatedRelease: Will receive one with the original ''Marvel Vs. Capcom'' in ''Marvel Vs. Capcom Origins.'' This will include HD graphics, a store to unlock features (illustrations, cheats, etc.) and online play.

* UpdatedRerelase: Will receive one with the original ''Marvel Vs. Capcom'' in ''Marvel Vs. Capcom Origins.'' This will include HD graphics, a store to unlock features (illustrations, cheats, etc.) and online play.

* GeniusBruiser: The Hulk, where he's in the guise of the Merged Hulk/Professor persona. (remember, The Green Scar from ''Planet Hulk'' and ''WorldWarHulk'' had yet to be created at the time)

* TheWorfBarrage: In a sense. In the final battle, Thanos has all six of the Infinity Gems at his disposal. Against other enemies, all you need to do to make someone drop whichever one they have equipped is to hit them with a special move. Not Thanos, no. For him, you'll need to use a Super move.

* CombatTentacles: The only plausible explanation as to how Shuma-Gorath made the cut over his antagonist, DoctorStrange.

* TheMario: CaptainAmerica and IronMan.

* GuestFighter: [[{{Darkstalkers}} Anita]], the CreepyChild that follows Donovan, as a SecretCharacter.

* CallingYourAttacks: A fighting game, so not surprising. Capcom had even more fun with this trope than they did in XMenChildrenOfTheAtom.

It was followed in 1996 with '''{{X-Men Vs Street Fighter}}'''.
