History YMMV / MarvelSuperHeroesWarOfTheGems

* TierInducedScrappy: Hulk, without any Gems, is so huge and slow that he's useless for nearly the entire game, but his range is such that he can interrupt most of the final boss' attacks, meaning that he manages to be an obnoxiously worthless character and a GameBreaker in the same game.

* PropRecycling: Capcom reused Wolvie's sprites from VideoGame/XMenMutantApocalypse for this game, plus some new sprites for his Special Gem Attack, and victory pose.

--> '''Dr. Doom''': ''Curse you! I can not believe you have me cornered. Make no mistake. We shall meet again!"''
--> '''Player''': ''"Stop!"''
** What's funny about this is that when the screen displays the "Player: Stop!" part, it seems that Doom is still speaking, probably talking to himself?

* MomentOfAwesome: At first sight it seems crossing the sea of lava at Mount Vesuvius stage will be impossible, but then ComicBook/DoctorStrange appears from nowhere and creates a rainbow colored platform, and this way you can cross at full speed. Extra points for the music and the battle with Evil Silver Surfer mooks.

* NoProblemWithLicensedGames: Considering it's made by Capcom, this is definitely played straight.

* NightmareFuel: The instant you enter the Egyptian temple in the Egypt stage, walls collapse behind and in front of you, and a spiked ceiling starts to slowly descend. You want to get out of there as soon as possible because just thinking about being crushed under the OneHitKill spikes can be very frightening. Even worse if you're playing as Iron Man, and you forget that his Combo Finisher is a {{Shoryuken}} variant, which lifts Shellhead into the air.

* NoProblemWithLicensedGames. Almost twenty years later it is still an enjoyable game.

* ThatOneLevel: Boston Aquarium takes place in a flooded aquarium. The water slows you down (and the baddies), and you have an OxygenMeter that slowly depletes; if you run out of air, you don't instantly drown. Instead, your lifebar starts depleting, which is particularly bad if you're low on energy after being hit for the nth time. The second part is particularly frustrating because you have to fight an airborne miniboss who isn't too hard per se, but it's hard to beat him quickly because you can't deal a lot of damage when underwater.

* ThatOneBoss: The Magus. When you reach The Magus's cabin, he starts the battle by piercing a hole in the wall, the force of the space vacuum sucking the air inside makes the movement much harder. The Magus himself likes to teleport a lot, if he catches you off-guard, he'll combo you to death. He also shoots a fireball that homes into you, and it's very hard to dodge. When he's less than half of his energy, he sometimes [[RegeneratingHealth recover a big bunch of his energy]], and is completely invincible while doing this, so you have to be very fast to beat him. Whoever says was able to beat The Magus at the first attempt, is lying.
** Some other bosses have the potential to be ThatOneBoss: We have for example, Evil Daredevil, the boss of Arizona Mining Complex. Fast and unpredictable, practically you have to guess if he's going to attack on the ground, or in the air. Sometimes when he jumps, he clings on you and sucks half of your lifebar. And let's also add that there are two annoying laser cannons at the sides of the boss's room, which you have to take care of first before facing the boss. The problem is, they reappear after a few seconds.

** Dr. Doom can also be this if you don't know how to deal with him. All of his attacks deal a lot of damage, his laser beam comes out very fast and is very hard to read and dodge, (specially if you play as Cap, Iron Man or Hulk, crouching is useless against this attack). If he starts floating in the air, he might choose between firing a spread of lasers above you, or dive kicking you.
* ThatOneLevel: Boston Aquarium takes place in a flooded aquarium. The water slows you down (And the baddies), and you have an OxygenMeter that slowly depletes; if you run out of air, you don't instantly drown, instead, your lifebar starts depleting, which is particularly bad if you're low on energy after being hit for the n-th time. The second part is particularly frustrating because you have to fight an airborne miniboss, that isn't too hard per se, but it's hard to beat him quickly because you can't deal a lot of damage when underwater.

* NightmareFuel: The instant you enter the Egyptian temple at Egypt stage, walls collapse behind and in front of you, and a spiked ceiling starts to slowly descend. It's easy to panic at that part because you want to get out of there as soon as possible. Even worse if you're playing as Iron Man, and you forget that his Combo Finisher is a {{Shoryuken}} variant, which lifts Shellhead into the air, and towards the OneHitKill spikes.

** The Asteroid Belt stage takes place in... well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin an asteroid belt]]. You have to jump from platform to platform, avoiding the debris that is floating all around the place. The debris don't deal much damage per se, but if you're not careful, one of these can knock you off an edge to your death. Pray if you're low on energy when you get to the miniboss battle with Dr. Doom. [[BatmanCanBreatheInSpace Fortunately you don't have to worry about suffocating in space]].

** If you choose to go through the lower path in Alaska stage, you'll have a tough fight against [[TerribleTrio three Evil Puck minibosses]], almost as annoying as Evil Daredevil, but times 3. They like to jump and roll attack you, forcing you to constantly jump to dodge the first, only to be hit by a second one.
