The two things I can remember for certain: 1) the game revolved around superheroes, but had its own original characters and wasn't a licensed game based on actual comics, 2) I don't think it was a multiplayer game, but there was a character select screen with multiple heroes to pick from. I think the idea was you recruited more heroes to your team as you got further through the game, and they had certain powers that would be useful in certain levels / against enemies. I'm pretty sure it was for the NES, I would guess release date would have been the late 80s or early 90s as it had relatively good graphics.
