Game Info: Platform beat-em-up with a Marvel license

At one time everything Capcom touched turned to gold, but after some poor Medieval beat-em-ups and bad soccer games, this was their BIG comeback for '96. 
It has to be said this has great graphics and sound, and captures the Marvel feel very well, but a platform beat-em-up? a bit of a wasted license me thinks. The characters are too large and the play area too confined, making random button pressing the order of the day. The levels are too short and there aren't even many of them. The final nail in the coffin is the characters, for some reason someone at Capcom HQ decided Iron Man should be the best and Spiderman the worst? Not the worst game ever, but clumsy, patchy gameplay pulls this title down.
