It features many superheroes and supervillains from the Marvel Comics line, including Spider-Man, Doctor Doom, and the Hulk. In addition, Psylocke and Wolverine return from X-Men: Children of the Atom, along with boss characters Juggernaut and Magneto.

The game is loosely based on the Infinity Gauntlet storyline, with the heroes and villains battling each other for the Infinity Gems. The sub-boss is Doctor Doom followed by the Thanos as the final boss, who steals whatever Gems the player had collected (at that point, all but the sixth gem, Mind) and attaches them to the Infinity Gauntlet, which grants Thanos ultimate power over reality.
