Marvel Super Hero Squad is an action beat-em-up game for one to four players that is based on the animated Marvel TV series. The game is set in Super Hero City, where the Super Hero Squad must battle against Dr. Doom's Lethal Legion of villains.
The story revolves around the Infinity Sword, which was shattered long ago. Now, Dr. Doom and his minions are seeking the pieces, known as the Infinity Fractals, which grant immense power to whoever possesses them. The city is in danger, and only the Super Hero Squad can save it.
Players can choose from various game modes, including Adventure Mode for two players and Battle Mode for up to four players. In Adventure Mode, players must recover the Infinity Fractals and gain new powers through six campaigns. In Battle Mode, players can fight as either a villain or a superhero, with over 20 characters to choose from.
Features of both modes include unlockable characters, battle areas, and costumes in Adventure Mode, and combination attacks and character selection in Battle Mode.

How to Play
BATTLE MODE
Up to 4 players (human and computer) can take part in either team or free-for-all battles, in any available arena.
Battle Arenas
There are 15 battle arenas. In the beginning, you will have access to 4 battle arenas. Unlock the 11 others as you complete chapters in Adventure Mode.
In Battle mode, scoring Battle Points is all-important. You earn points for defeating your opponents, but defeat is only temporary: super heroes and super villains always bounce back!
Different types of defeat (K.O., Ring-out, Takedown) earn different numbers of Battle points; find out what scores you the most!
BATTLE TYPES
Time Battle
Play to a set time limit. At the end of the time, the player with the highest score wins!
Score Battle
Play to a set points score. The first player to reach this score wins!
Elimination Battle
Everybody starts with a set number of points and loses some of them every time they're ringed-out, KO'd or taken down. When your points are gone, you're out! Last fighter in the arena wins!
Characters
Choose from any of the 20 heroes or villains. If you've unlocked their bonus costume, you can choose to play them in that costume instead. In their different costumes, you can even battle a hero or villain against themselves!
Training Battle
If you just want to practice or battle for fun, set up a Training Battle that doesn't end until you say so! Try out each hero and villain: they all have their own advantages and weaknesses - find your favorites, and fight!
Alternate Costumes
Some characters have second costumes that can be unlocked and used in Battle Mode. To use an alternate costume, highlight the character and press R1.
THE SUPER HERO SQUAD
IRON MAN
Leader of the Squad, Iron Man's high-tech armor and love of gadgets means he's ready for anything... most of the time. His Repulsor-ray technology allows him to fly, and blast the bad guys into the next town! Just don't ask him to repair your toaster.
FALCON
Young and impatient but also swift and sure, Falcon is the high-flyin' new kid on the team. But with the help of his feathered sidekick, Redwing, he manages to keep his head when the going gets tough.
WOLVERINE
He might be small, but he's got wicked claws and an attitude to boot. Never afraid of a fight, Wolvie sometimes gets in over his head. But his amazing healing powers and his loyalty to his friends means he can get out of trouble just as fast.
HULK
Big, green, super strong and hungry almost all of the time, Hulk is pretty uncomplicated. His best friend is Wolverine, whom he treats like a pet puppy. Just don't make him angry...or Hulk will smash!
THOR
Thor commands the powers of thunder and lightning... and he has a neat hammer that always comes back when he throws it. He's a good-looking guy, and everybody loves him - even if they cannot understand him because of his old fashioned speech!
SILVER SURFER
From far across the cosmos, the Silver Surfer is one laid-back dude. Just as well, because he controls the mighty Power Cosmic! He loves to daydream, but when trouble strikes, the Surfer springs into action. Nothing can stop him from bring harmony back to Super Hero City!
CHAIN ATTACKS
Some heroes and villains also have the ability to chain two combos together: instead of a Finisher, this triggers a Chain attack. This lets you add another combo to the same attack, increasing its power! Complete that combo as well, and you can cap it all off with a Finisher.
You'll experience the unique powers of each hero and villain in every attack, combo and Finisher!
DASH-ATTACK
Double-tap the left analog stick in the direction your hero or villain is facing, and they'll put on a quick burst of speed. If you aim them at an opponent and they hit, they'll do a little damage too!
•
Tip: Opponents can't block a Dash-attack!
BLOCK
To block enemy attacks, either:
•
Do nothing (don't move or attack) and your hero or villain performs a Passive Block when attacked.
•
Push the left analog stick away from your opponent to perform an Active Block. If you Active Block just as your opponent attacks, you'll break out of any knock-back their attack causes, and can quickly attack back!
•
Tip: Your hero or villain has to be facing their attacker for a Block to work. When you block attacks, you will take some damage.
•
Tip: Active Blocks won't stop unblockable moves such as Finishers or Dash-attacks.
TAKEDOWNS! (Arena Battles only)
When your opponent flashes red, they're Vulnerable, and it's time to use your Takedown attack. Hold DOWN, and follow the on-screen prompt: if you time it just right, your hero or villain will perform a seriously cool move, and put your opponent out of action!
PICKUPS and POWER-UPS
FRACTAL SHARDS
The Super Hero Squad fight the Lethal Legion to recover these big pieces of the Infinity Fractal that SHIELD uncovers at the beginning of the story. These shards are too powerful
Enemies & Characters
DOCTOR DOOM
Incredibly smart and clever with a mean temper, all Doom wants is to rule the world... maybe the Universe. Is that too much to ask?
MODOK
He knows he's smarter than Doctor Doom, but nobody believes him. He might have tiny little arms and legs, but he's got the biggest brain there is, and his own army of yellow-suited AIM Agents.
MAGNETO
He's the sophisticated Master of Magnetism who'd rather not be working for Doctor Doom, but it helps pay the upkeep on his own Asteroid M base.
MOLE MAN
He might not bathe very often and might have a problem with gas, but he's pretty smart and rules over an army of subterranean Moloids.
ABOMINATION
Just like Hulk, he's huge and super-strong. He's not very smart and a bit greedy, and he enjoys yelling and breaking things.
JUGGERNAUT
Once he starts to run, he's almost impossible to stop. Everybody thinks he's just a brute, but he has a sensitive side too.
SABRETOOTH
Shaggy, mean, angry, rough, snarly, and oh, did we mention mean? He loves to fight and flex his claws, and he doesn't like Wolverine at all.
Tips & Maps

Reach (or "Power") attack

Experiment with combos
