5	----
6	* AdaptationDisplacement: Shuma-Gorath and Blackheart are obscure villains much more well known from their appearance in this game and [[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom the rest of the Marvel series]] than they are from the comics.
7	* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Iron Man's stage has its own animated intro, which no other background in the game possesses.
8	* FridgeBrilliance: Thanos invoking TheWallsAreClosingIn as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKlGcay3AOY#t=1m50s his Reality Gem-based Infinity Combo]] -- a VisualPun about the '''''walls of reality'''''.
9	* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Shuma-Gorath is popular in Japan thanks to his CombatTentacles and for his more unique design compared to the rest of the Marvel heroes and villains, being an EldritchAbomination.
10	* GoodBadBugs: Thanos' ending is glitched in the arcade version; instead of being given the option to choose between two endings, both play back to back with Magneto's ending text. While this is fixed in the console releases, the ''[[CompilationRerelease Marvel vs. Capcom Origins]]'' version is broken due to being based on the original arcade build.
11	* HarsherInHindsight:
12	** Spider-Man's ending, full stop. To elaborate, [[spoiler:Spidey comes home from saving the universe and Mary Jane tells him that she's pregnant, with Peter re-assuring her she and the baby are his universe. Then ''ComicBook/OneMoreDay'' happened. Though before that, she already miscarried at the end of ''ComicBook/TheCloneSaga'']].
13	** Iron Man's ending is particularly wince-inducing as of the closing years of TheNewTens. [[spoiler:Using the Infinity Gauntlet]], Tony's manages to [[spoiler:restore his body to peak condition after saving everyone]]. In ''Film/AvengersEndgame'', [[spoiler:using the Infinity Gauntlet proves to be too much power for Tony to handle and he ends up sacrificing himself to save the day]].
14	* HilariousInHindsight:
15	** In this game, the Infinity Gems are a vital part of gameplay, which would later be seen again in ''VideoGame/MarvelSuperHeroesWarOfTheGems''. Years later, they would finally reappear as a vital part of the gameplay mechanics in ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcomInfinite''.
16	** While his moveset makes sense in the context of wielding the reality-warping power of the Infinity Gauntlet, Thanos's repertoire of attacks is often noted to be somewhat bizarre and goofy-looking, such encasing foes in bubbles and throwing what appears to be a celestial body with the help of the Power Gem, which likely played a part in his Gauntletless moveset overhaul in ''Infinite''. Little did people know Creator/{{Capcom}}'s depiction of the Mad Titan would be strangely prophetic come ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'', where Thanos [[spoiler:is seen using the Reality Stone to turn people's weapons into bubbles and later uses the Power Stone to shatter one of Titan's moons and rain down its debris as meteors upon the heroes, essentially throwing the moon at them]].
17	** In Thanos's ending, if he (the player) chooses to [[spoiler:attain even more power with the Gauntlet, he forgoes his usual goals of trying to win Mistress Death over in place of just reshaping the universe as he sees fit. [[AdaptationalNiceGuy Albeit for radically different reasons apart from just a hunger for power]], he also decides to perform this change of plan [[note]]he is not necessarily lusting over Death in [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse the MCU]], but instead is trying to solve a perceived universal OverpopulationCrisis[[/note]] in the climax of ''Film/AvengersEndgame''.]]
18	* MemeticMutation: Some of Spider-Man's lines, such as "One for J.J.!" and "Do your job!" (or alternatively, "'''DO YOUR [[PrecisionFStrike GODDAMN]] JOB!'''") are minor memes in the community.
19	* PolishedPort: ''Marvel vs. Capcom Origins'', aside from some small audio glitches, is arcade perfect (though this is all that entails, as it includes the above-mentioned glitched ending for Thanos) and features high-quality rollback netcode. It also lets you easily play as Doctor Doom, Thanos and Anita.
20	* PortingDisaster:
21	** Much like the version of ''VideoGame/XMenChildrenOfTheAtom'' for the same platform, the [=PS1=] version suffers from slowdowns, missing frames of animation, and [[LoadsAndLoadsOfLoading lengthy load times]]. Even the gameplay is not totally intact, as some more obscure tactics and combos from the arcade version aren't possible (most inexplicably, Magneto can not air dash while he is flying), and in the non-Japanese versions, Anita isn't present at all.
22	** Though slightly above the [=PS1=] version in playability, the Saturn version does enjoy support for the 4MB [=RAM=] cart like the later ports of the series, which is a big issue with the huge and very animated characters. As a result, it is significantly choppier and laggier than the arcade version, has the not-quite-perfect gameplay of the Sony port and still does not have Anita except in the Japanese version. The audio is also extremely poor.
23	* UnexpectedCharacter:
24	** Shuma-Gorath, an obscure Doctor Strange villain with very few appearances in the comics, even after the game's release, who was chosen because [[AuthorAppeal the dev team really liked his design]].
25	** Blackheart. Not a particularly well-known villain, and his most common adversary, ComicBook/GhostRider, isn't even present in this game. (And when [[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3 he did]] [[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcomInfinite finally show]], Blackheart himself was absent.)
26	** [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Anita]]. Not only is she a GuestFighter from the ''Darkstalkers'' franchise, which is Capcom and not Marvel, but she was also never a playable character, being a tag-along for Donovan Baine.
