* LowTierLetdown: ComicBook/{{Elektra}} and ComicBook/{{Blade}} were both considered pathetic in the first game -- Elektra having no good attacks before level 22, and Blade having massive energy management problems. Not surprisingly, in the sequel, Blade was relegated to the last-gen versions, and Elektra was removed entirely. (Although they did both make a return for the third game.)

** In the second game, Mr. Fantastic is widely considered the worst character in the game. Reed is meant to act as a ranged attacker, with most of his moves having extra range compared to most characters' melee attacks, but this comes at the cost of his damage output being among the worst in the game, with all of his skills dealing poor damage (not helped by him losing his Fantastic Fists boost from the first game) and having limited use.

*** Of the 3 PurposelyOverpowered characters in the second game (Hulk, Thor and Jean Grey), Thor is the most overpowered. Hulk is a tank but is purely physical (and no longer has his HealingFactor from the first game to boot) and Jean is purely elemental and a GlassCannon: both of them can run into enemies and bosses that resist their damage. Thor however, has as much physical damage and defense as Hulk AND can dish out as much elemental damage as Jean thanks to his lightning. He's pretty much a walking brick wall and no enemy in the game resists both his damage types. The only reason to not use him is a SelfImposedChallenge not unlike the above-mentioned Storm from the old ''VideoGame/XMenLegends'' games.

* PolishedPort: The PC version originally released in 2006 had enhanced optimization and support for keyboard and mouse gameplay (including a feature to use any character power at all times using number keys instead of assigning to button combinations), in-depth graphical options (being able to set it as visually equal or superior to the UsefulNotes/PlayStation3 and UsefulNotes/Xbox360 versions or tone it down to old-gen levels for weaker computers), button configuration, support for large resolutions and other quality-of-life features. About the only big glaring flaw is that some of the music isn't set up properly and plays a bit too loud, but that's only for a few of the maps. The 2016 re-release for UsefulNotes/{{Steam}}, however, was not based on this version and ended up a PortingDisaster as described below.

** The UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 and UsefulNotes/{{Wii}} version of ''2'' are clearly based on the code of the first game yet they are nearly unplayable with bad framerate, worse graphics and a tendency for scripts and events of not triggering, forcing you to reload a save and pray that this time works.
** [[UpdatedRerelease The re-releases]] for UsefulNotes/PlayStation4, UsefulNotes/XboxOne and UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} were heavily criticized for being buggy, crash-prone, laggy and unresponsive. None of these issues were present in their original releases. The updated graphics were botched and customers accused Creator/{{Activision}} of cashing-in on [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse Marvel's popularity]] while delivering a clearly inferior product. A patch addressed some of the worst problems, but others still remain.
