About

Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes is a 1998 arcade fighting game developed by Capcom, later released on Dreamcast, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. The fifth Marvel Comics-licensed fighter from Capcom and the third entry in the Marvel vs. Capcom series, it expands on its predecessors by drawing combatants from multiple Capcom franchises — including Mega Man and Strider — rather than limiting the roster to Street Fighter characters. The story is set within Marvel comic continuity: Professor Charles Xavier warns heroes that he is at risk of merging with Magneto's consciousness to become the powerful entity Onslaught, who serves as the game's final boss. Gameplay centers on team-based tag combat, a hallmark of the series, pitting Marvel and Capcom characters against one another across fast-paced, two-on-two bouts.

Storyline

The storyline is loosely based on the X-Men: Onslaught arc from the Marvel Comics continuity: following an incident in which mutant telepath Charles Xavier was forced to enter into the mind of Magneto, part of Magneto's anger slipped into Xavier's psyche, and after merging with Xavier's darkest emotions it spawned a powerful psychic entity known as Onslaught. The game expands on the story by having Xavier's conscience calling forth heroes from the Capcom universe in order to help stop him.
