This article is about the series. For the game, see Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes.

Marvel vs. Capcom (Japanese: マーヴルVSカプコン, Hepburn: Māburu tai Kapukon) is a series of fighting games created by Capcom in which characters created by Marvel Comics and Capcom's own characters appear together. While it was the first Vs. series involving Capcom, the Marvel brand exists to distinguish it from Capcom's other Vs. series with SNK (Capcom vs. SNK) and Tatsunoko Production (Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars).

The Marvel characters depicted in these games were often based on their incarnations in various 1990s animated series, particularly X-Men, and were often voiced by the same voice actors.

Many of the characters and fighting mechanics used in these games were first developed and refined in two other fighting games Capcom had developed earlier, serving as precursors to the series: X-Men: Children of the Atom, which featured characters strictly from the X-Men universe (with the exception of Akuma), and Marvel Super Heroes, which gleaned characters from Marvel's entire roster (X-Men included, with the exception of Anita). Seth Killian consider these two games to have laid the foundation for the Versus series.[1]

Games

Story

There does not appear to be a concrete story behind each game in the series, although several plot points run across the various games of the series. However, various pairs of characters - typically one Marvel and one Capcom, were often partnered with each other during gameplay (although later games randomized the partnerships so that it was possible to complete the game facing all Marvel or all Capcom teams). Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds, unlike previous installments, ties into the game storyline and plot.[2]

However, several interesting (but obviously non-canonical to both Marvel and Capcom continuities) side-plots did emerge throughout the series, some of which contradict the others:

  • In X-Men vs. Street Fighter,
    • Psylocke rescues the amnesiac Cammy, who lost her memory after the battle with Apocalypse, from The Hand and its leader, Matsu'o Tsurayaba. Three years later, she joins the British special forces unit, Delta Red.
    • Wolverine seeks Akuma in Japan as he believes Akuma has information about his own past. However, in order to get the information from Akuma, he must win a fight.
    • Jubilee greets Wolverine and Ryu. Wolverine then teaches her about Ryu's honor and has found respect for him.
    • Sabretooth engages in a final battle with Wolverine, after defeating everyone he has come across. Ryu, Chun-Li, and Charlie were among those Sabretooth have beaten.
    • Zangief and Colossus defend Russia against Omega Red.
    • Storm and Gambit rescue Forge, Dan, Sakura, and the rest of the X-Men and Street Fighters. As Storm was about to rekindle her relationship with Forge, Shuma-Gorath breaks free and all five of them do battle against him, putting Storm's love for Forge on hold.
    • M. Bison gives Rogue an offer to become human but declines, refusing to be under his control. This leads to her questioning her mutant powers. Chun-Li dismisses her by responding that she can throw fireballs. Later on, Gambit approaches Rogue and consoles her, appreciating the way she is.
    • Chun-Li was made an honorary member of the X-Men, despite the lack of mutant powers on her part. Ryu is also offered membership in both the X-Men and the Avengers, but turns it down both times, preferring to continue on his own path.
    • Magneto and M. Bison forge an alliance, intending on betraying each other at a later time. In Magneto's ending, he eventually manages to get the upper hand and kills Bison, with the Shadaloo Grand Masters (Balrog, Vega, and Sagat) joining him afterwards, fearful of Magneto's power. The opposite happens in M. Bison's ending.
    • Charlie is kidnapped by M. Bison, who uses Shadaloo's technology to transform him to a super-soldier henchman known as Shadow. This prompts Guile to seek revenge against M. Bison.
  • In Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter,
    • Apocalypse captures Akuma and turns him into Cyber-Akuma.
    • Confirming Charlie's ending from the previous game, Shadow appears as a hidden character. In M. Bison's ending, a completely mechanical Charlie (built with the technology behind Cyber-Akuma) follows Bison's orders to spread fear and destruction in the name of Shadaloo.
    • Ryu reunites with Cyclops and they both take down Cyber-Akuma.
    • In a follow-up from X-Men vs. Street Fighter, Wolverine and Akuma continue their rivalry. This time, Akuma stalks Wolverine, who defeats Cyber-Akuma, and is ready to reveal his past if Wolverine concedes to a duel with him. Therefore, Wolverine accept Akuma's ultimatum.
    • Hulk initiates a conversation with Blanka and agrees to help find Blanka's mother.
    • Omega Red apparently kills Ryu, prompting Ken to also seek revenge.
    • Chun-Li reports to Interpol with the capture of various Marvel characters and Street Fighters, including Spider-Man, Wolverine, Hulk, Shuma-Gorath, Ken, Zangief, and Sakura.
    • In Dan's ending, Akuma is hinted to be his father. However, this ending, much like Dan himself, is a parody of the Art of Fighting series. In this case, the ending to the first game.
    • Dhalsim welcomes Shuma-Gorath to his home in India.
    • In Akuma's ending, Dan is turned into Cyber-Dan by Apocalypse. He is very easily defeated by Akuma, though.
    • In Ken's endings, the events of the games never actually happened. In X-Men vs. Street Fighter, he was playing the game itself with his son Mel, while the events of Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter appear to be a dream. He wakes up and continues his training with Ryu.
  • In Marvel vs. Capcom,
    • When Onslaught emerges, Charles Xavier subconsciously calls the Capcom heroes to help stop himself.
    • After the death of Onslaught, Captain America gathers the Capcom heroes and transported them back to their world.
    • Shadow turns on M. Bison, who then tries to subject Chun-Li to the same fate.
    • In Shadow Lady's ending, Jin Saotome is attacked by M. Bison and left near death. Shadow Lady and fellow cyborg Shadow find Jin and to prevent his death, they modify him into a being like themselves.
    • Jin disappears after defeating Onslaught, with Ryu vowing that one day he would return.
    • In Ryu's ending, Ken takes his protégé Sean to see him to continue his training.
    • In the Hulk's ending, Captain America sacrifices himself to destroy Onslaught (in a scene similar to the canonical Onslaught Saga).
    • Zangief, in his Iron Body form, battles Jin's Cyberbot, Blodia.
    • Gambit flirts with Morrigan until Rogue intervenes and takes him away.
    • Morrigan doesn't find anyone who can provide a challenge for her. Ryu then steps up to accept her challenge in a game of Puzzle Fighter.
    • An unspecified accident causes Morrigan's mind to be transferred into the body of her sister, Lilith, and vice versa. When the two attempt to return their minds to their rightful bodies, Zangief interrupts. It is heavily implied that this results in Morrigan and Zangief's minds trading bodies.
    • Roll defeats Onslaught before Mega Man does and is given enhanced powers by Dr. Light, leaving Mega Man in disdain.
    • In Mega Man's ending, Mega Man defeats Onslaught and takes his power, and in Mega Man fashion, the screen shows Mega Man with a red and purple color palette (representing Onslaught) with the words "YOU GOT MAGNETIC SHOCKWAVE" while Mega Man performs Onslaught's Hyper Combo, the Magnetic Shockwave. Mega Man may actually use the Magnetic Shockwave during gameplay in the console version of the game, giving him a total of four hyper combos.
    • In Captain Commando's ending, the Avengers Base gets word on Onslaught attacking, but Captain Commando appears on the screen saying that Onslaught has been defeated and the world is peaceful once more. The Avengers Soldier asks, "who is he?" He says as in the Arcade Ending, "I am...CAPTAIN COMMANDO!"
    • Strider Hiryu's ending is the same as the ending to Strider.
    • Spider-Man snaps a picture of himself and whoever his partner is after Spider-Man defeats Onslaught, knowing full well that J. Jonah Jameson will use the picture in his vendetta against Spider-Man. However, in a light-hearted manner, Spider-Man remarks that he needs the photo money to make a living.
  • In Marvel vs. Capcom 3,
    • Doctor Doom assembles the greatest villains of the Marvel Universe and joins forces with Albert Wesker in an effort to unite their respective universes in an effort to conquer both. However, their actions awaken Galactus who could potentially destroy both worlds. It is up to the heroes of the Marvel and Capcom universes to put a stop to this evil before it is too late.
    • If the heroes fail to stop Galactus, he consumes the energy of both worlds and destroys them.
    • Wolverine goes to a strip club to take a break. Morrigan offers him a lap dance, which Wolverine accepts, but he wants to finish his drink before he goes.
    • Ryu continues to focus on his training. In Madripoor, he enters a tournament where he faces Iron Fist in the first round.
    • Iron Man creates the Galactus-buster armor after collecting data from his battle with Galactus.
    • Morrigan is in a bar with fellow demons Mephisto and Satannish and has a good time.

    • Deadpool throws a party in Galactus' worldship with other Marvel and Capcom characters after defeating Galactus, but committed "Deadpoolicide" by boosting the power to the DJ booth and margarita machine which, in turn, destroyed Cleveland. The police are looking to arrest him and his accomplice, "Player". Deadpool breaks the fourth wall in his ending by not inviting the player to his party, suggesting the Power Points were enough for him/her and the player having a role in the act of "Deadpoolicide".
    • Captain America is honored by the President of the United States, who resembles Barack Obama, for his heroics against Galactus.

    • Viewtiful Joe is starring on a cop show directed by Mojo and produced by Spiral. Mojo gets frustrated with him for ad-libbing his lines.
    • X-23 proves Wolverine wrong by beating Galactus and getting the title "the best there is", apathetically given to by Wolverine.
    • Tron Bonne asks MegaMan Volnutt to go out for a bite to eat. If he says no, he would have to deal with Servbot #42, which is a Sentinel newly initiated into the Bonne Clan.
    • Peter Parker presents photos of Spider-Man defeating Galactus to J. Jonah Jameson. However, Jameson, as always, still believes Spider-Man is a menace, implying that he and Galactus were working together. Jameson demands better photos of Spider-Man or he will hire a better photographer.
    • Albert Wesker captures many of the heroes who were fighting Galactus and uses them as test subjects for his Uroboros project.
    • Magneto realizes his dream after defeating Galactus. He uses his home planet, Taa II and his worldship as a new home for mutants, free from hate and prejudice.

    • A.I.M. recovers Galactus' helmet and M.O.D.O.K. puts it on, showing it off.
    • Arthur attacks Fin Fang Foom in an effort to rescue the Prin-Prin. Fin Fang Foom, nonchalantly, feels no pain.
    • She-Hulk is a judge with her own court show, "Jen's Justice" (a parody of such court shows like Judge Judy). She is about to deliver her verdict between Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth. She bangs her gavel, destroying the judge's seat in the process, scaring both Ace Attorneys.
    • The Silver Surfer travels with Zero to take him back home, but the Surfer mistakenly takes him to Neo Arcadia, the home of Mega Man Zero. He is confused by the plethora of Mega Man worlds.
    • Storm returns to Wakanda after defeating Galactus, but has doubts in her heart that humanity was worth saving and mutants are still facing discrimination. Black Panther eases her doubts. He stands by her side to face any threat that comes to them and their people.
    • Nick Fury enters Crimson Viper's home unnoticed and offers her an agent position in S.H.I.E.L.D.

Seth Killian: So the history of the Versus series technically starts with X-Men vs. Street Fighter, but many fighting aficionados including myself really date some of the origins back to games called X-Men: Children of the Atom and Marvel Super Heroes which introduced things like chain combo and aerial rave [...] all of that lead us eventually into X-Men vs. Street Fighter...
