    Peanuts are an amalgam, possibly resulting from a fusion of the mad gods of peas and nuts.

    Cross-posted from GnT, any word on how Moon Knight plays? Is he any good?

    He isn't bad. His staff slam is kinda cool. Not really remarkable though. He looks really good.

    Alternatively, does anyone know where I can find a list of training disks? I'm missing a few.

    Ironman and Deadpool's second team "Boost" powers are really cheap when combined. Ironman grants infinite energy for all intents and purposes(you can only run out by not using powers to fight). Deadpool adds a significant amount of damage to every hit. So those really weak rapid-tap hits become amazingly strong.

    Deadpool can just hold down whirlwind for massive non-stop AoE damage since he's got infinite energy, plus a damage boost.

    If health becomes a problem, silver surfer has infinite heals to spam since he's got infinite energy:P

    i am in love with ghost rider



    i'm pretty disappointed that the penance stare is fucking gay, but the rest of his powers are ri-goddamned-diculous

    I took out the wrecking crew in four hits apiece

    someone tell me where the in game action figures are hidden.

    also, tell me how to beat the part in Mephisto's place right after you encounter the captured x-men.

    You mean the gauntlet right after? Keep attacking and keep moving foward. The gates eventually open up as you kill a certain amount of enemies. Then, at the very end, jump into the purple portal thing.

    For Mephisto -
    [spoiler:8ea8a3b180]Keep attacking him until he takes out his sword, then grab the sword and use it to smash the statues of the fallen X-Man. Repeat until you get every one of them. Afterwards, keep attacking Mephisto, then your fallen comrade will help. [/spoiler:8ea8a3b180]

    Alternatively, you can use a character who fly's and just fly to the portal. Your other characters will take very little damage. Then you just kill enemies until it opens. There's a comic disk in this part, so don't miss it.

    Weren't there gates that you couldn't fly past?

    I wish you could replay levels whenever you wanted to, using the same save. I need to eventually get my X-Men and Fantastic Four action going.

    Actually, I was able to fly over the gates. I had to kill a few enemies though, so maybe the number needed to open the gates is really low.

    also guys

    http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3154748

    If consider yourself frugal gamer (and who would blame you with two consoles launching in under a month) and were contemplating holding out on picking up Marvel: Ultimate Alliance on the 360 until after a price drop... ordering a copy from Play-Asia, for $43 after shipping, might be just what the doctor ordered.

    The version being sold by Play-Asia lacks the copy protection that makes most games from other regions unplayable in American 360s. With the game still retailing for $59.99 plus tax at most major retailers in America, this can save you $17 dollars to put towards your future purchases this Fall. And that's something we can all get behind.

    Also t: Knob, once you unlock the classic GR costume you can spend points to give him a % chance to revive dead members. Right now he's got a 35% resurrection rate.

    My team consists of: Spider-Woman (Who is woefully underrated), Ghost Rider, The Thing, and Daredevil (because I haxored for him).

    Don't use the codes to unlock costumes or characters because it wipes out your achievements and is retarded.
    Some fuck in G&T told me that using the codes for "non game breaking things like unlocking characters" wouldn't hose you, but it does.
    So don't do it.

    Is there a way to go back to the 1st Act, because it didn't occur to me to start looking for stuff until I got midway into the 2nd. I think I missed the action figure, and I know I missed power-ups back in the 1st.

    Anytime (even in Story Mode), an enemy has a weapon, take it and use it, as they are oddly enough...extremely powerful.
