Unlike many other titles, however, players used existing Marvel superheroes instead of creating a character from scratch. Each hero was essentially translated into a mix of one or more classic FantasyCharacterClasses, much like Mages, Thieves or, well, [[Comicbook/XMen Rogues]] in other games.

** The rank names for the various stats (Remarkable, etc.) are a direct shout out to the 1980's Marvel tabletop RPG
** Franchise/SpiderMan's ultimate, Maximum Spider shares a name with one of his super moves from the ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom'' series.
*** Psylocke's ultimate, Psionic Maelstrom, has the same name and general effect as one of her supers from the same series of games.
*** Gambit's Signature, 52 Pickup, is literally the Royal Flush from ''VideoGame/XMenVsStreetFighter'', right down to the staff toss.
*** Colossus' Signature, Colossal Roar, is lifted from ''VideoGame/XMen1992''.
** Three of Iron Man's moves are shout-outs to each of the character's movies.
*** Jericho Bombarment is named after the missile of the same name Tony Stark was demonstrating in Afghanistan during ''Film/IronMan1'', and the Ten Rings later attempted to force him build it for them.
*** Iron Man's signature the One-Off is the identical move to the one Iron Man used in ''Film/IronMan2'' to finish off the Hammer Droids, and is named after the description Tony gave to it: "I can only use it once. It's a one-off."
*** Iron Man's ultimate power House Party Protocol consists of having J.A.R.V.I.S. remotely control numerous Iron Man suits to help him in combat, similar to ''Film/IronMan3''.
** The item quote for the gear Starktech Portal Reactor describes how an infomercial actor was stating that "[[Film/IronMan1 Tony Stark built this in a cave]]... and now, you can wear it around you--" before he was interrupted by Iron Man crashing through the wall to reclaim his stolen tech.
** One of Hawkeye's gear is the "Hawkguy Shades," a reference to Matt Fraction's ''ComicBook/Hawkeye2012'' series. Additionally, the gear allows you to summon Kate Bishop's Hawkeye to assist you for 30 seconds (or regular Hawkeye if you're paying as Kate Bishop), recreating the team-up forged in said series.
** Captain America gets a sprinting power called On Your Left, referencing a [[RunningGag Running]] [[{{Pun}} Gag]] in ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier''.
** The majority of the Winter Soldier's powers are references to his weapons and specific moves he does in ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'', which a few exceptions. His signature power is even the magnetic grenade he used on Nick Fury's vehicle.
** Silver Surfer's death pose is the same one from the game over screen from his [[VideoGame/SilverSurfer1990 infamously difficult NES game]].
** Nova's (Richard's) "show off" emote has him mimic his poses from the covers of ''ComicBook/{{Nova}}'' Vol. 4 #1 and ''Nova'' Vol 4. #36.

Gazillion had incorporated a range of locales and classic storylines. A huge selection of heroes (there are over 8000 characters in the Marvel universe) were playable, from classic favourites like ComicBook/IronMan to more offbeat picks such as ComicBook/SquirrelGirl and her army of rodents. Customisation of heroes came in the form of different costumes, stat enhancements and swappable powers to differentiate, say, one player's [[ComicBook/IncredibleHulk Hulk]] from another's. Team ups (secondary characters who acted automatically) were also encouraged, allowing players to either re-enact classic comic book squads or create hilariously unlikely hero combinations (including a hero teaming up with him/herself).

Loads And Loads Of Characters is no longer a trope
Deleted line(s) 153 (click to see context) :
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: The developers' aim, and one of the game's main draws. In fact, while the producers were tracking down previous voice actors for in-game characters to add a touch of familiarity, they realised that some characters had never appeared or been voiced before. Such is the breadth of the character library the game draws from.
