Marvel Super Heroes is a 1995 2D fighting game developed and published for the arcade by Capcom. Loosely based on the Infinity Gauntlet storyline, the game lets players choose from a roster of iconic Marvel characters, including Spider-Man, Wolverine, Captain America, and Magneto. The standout mechanic is the use of Infinity Gems, which drop during combat and can be activated to grant unique temporary abilities like increased speed, healing, or super armor, changing the tide of the match.
How to Play
The objective is to defeat opponents in a best-of-three fighting tournament before facing the final boss, Thanos. As an arcade title running in the browser, you need to “insert coins” to begin.

Tips
- Gem Effects Vary: The power a gem grants often depends on the character using it. For instance, the Power Gem gives most fighters an attack boost, but it modifies Captain America’s special moves.
- Air Combos: Marvel Super Heroes heavily emphasizes aerial combat. Launch your opponent into the air and immediately jump to follow up with an “Aerial Rave” combo.
- Stealing Gems: If an opponent is holding an Infinity Gem, you can knock it out of their possession by hitting them with a strong attack or a special move.
