Story Breakdown: Marvel Super Heroes (Arcade)

One of the best parts of a video game is the ending, but who has the time to go back and play through every game? Let me introduce you to Game Over: The Early Years, the weekly show where we dive into classic games and spoil both their stories and endings. From the biggest hits to obscure classics, we're taking a look at some of the best and most memorable conclusions in video game history.

We're mere hours away from The Avengers: Endgame, the climactic conclusion to more than a decade's worth of Marvel movies. I have no idea how it's going to end, but I think I might know a game that does. Believe it or not, Marvel Super Heroes by Capcom sees Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk and Spider-Man fighting Thanos in a story based on the Infinity Gauntlet comic series. So, you know what that means, it's time to use those infinity stones to see if this 24-year-old arcade fighter holds the clues to the end of Endgame. Turn back now if you don't want to know what happens next, because today we're spoiling the story and all thirteen endings of Marvel Super Heroes. This is Game Over: The Early Years.


Still want more endings? Then I recommend you discover 23 Endings: The Early Years, the holiday series that ran during the 2017 holiday season. We cover Ninja Gaiden, Street Fighter II, Super Mario Bros. 2, Ghostbusters, Golden Axe, Metroid, Double Dragon, Flashback, Final Fight and many more!
