War Machine
Fight your way east and turn north at the intersection. There's a chemical spout here; but, all the nearby barrels of coolant were probably destroyed in the fighting and the nearest "vending machine" is quite a ways away. Just add ../Iceman/ to your team and let him freeze it. Before passing the chemical spray, go east and break the pipe at the easternmost tip of the south side of the map. There's a Dossier behind the pipe.

Walk out over the pipes and drop down to where Cap and ../Iron Man/ are duking it out. First up is War Machine. He mainly charges back and forth across the stage, turning to shoot a few pulsar bolts each time. Hit him with two or three good Fusions and he'll be toast. Just watch out for his missile bombardment. When you see him shoot a rocket in the air, start watching the ground for the red signal that there's an incoming missile and run away.

Mr. Fantastic
Cap and Iron Man are still going at it. As you leave the cutscene, you'll be on an elevator. Go down the ramp and blow up a few robots on the platform. Break open a pipe on the east side of the platform for a Dossier. Go west along the catwalk until you reach the arena where Cap and Iron Man are fighting. You only need to land one good Fusion on Iron Man. Get him down to about 66% health and he leaves and ../Mr. Fantastic/ leaps in to do battle.

Reed Richards has some range to his attacks; but, they're all physical and most are easily avoided just by keeping your distance. He is strong, though, and trying to go toe-to-toe with him is a mistake. Fortunately, he wimps out at 50% health and takes off, so if you can land one Fusion and hit him a few more times, you'll wrap up this fight in no time.

Mr. Fantastic and Iron Man
Now it's back outside and more fighting with Iron Man and Mr. Fantastic. The most difficult part is when Iron Man flies around the arena, shooting criss-crossing pulsar beams. They come so fast they almost form a grid over the area and it's hard to avoid them. Furthermore, while he's doing this, you can't hit him. Make sure you don't miss your opportunities to hit him with a Fusion whenever he lands.

Also, Mr. Fantastic joins in on Iron Man's side, so you've got his fists to worry about as well. Overall, you're best off taking out Reed first and just dodging anything Tony throws your way. Once Mr. Fantastic is down, concentrate on Stark. When he reaches 25% health, he crashes the whole arena into the room below. On the plus side, he won't be flying around any longer. Finish him off with a Fusion.
