    So I haven't started Act 2 yet, just milled about Strange's place.

    I have 3/5 Daredevil dolls (one from Strange's place) and 3/5 Black Panther dolls from Act 1.

    Did I miss any?
    it's entirely possible, but there's more than 5 of each in the game.

    There's a(n incomplete?) list of locations on page 19 or so.

    So i finished this last night.

    Holy shit. The ending, perfect setup for a sequel.

    And the credits, oh god the credits.

    And that plot twist after the credits. Goddammit this game was perfect in every way.

    My main team was Iron Man (trying to get his Ultimate Armor, but his comic mission is a bitch), Ghost Rider (Original, because 50% chance of rezzing allies kicks serious ass), Deadpool (Ultimate outfit), and a fourth character that i can't really decide on. My Symbiote Spidey and Classic Thor kick all kinds of ass, but i really wanna incorporate Daredevil or Dr. Strange into my team, so i'm trying them both out and seeing which one i like more.

    Also, Ghost Rider's Ravaging Flame attack is the greatest boss killer ever. I just stand back and keep charging till that bitch goes down, not to mention his piece of equipment that gives the attack +3. Fuckin' crazy.

    Man, how the hell do you beat Cappy's comic mission?

    I can delay the timer no problem, but Winter Soldier just grinds my health down to nothing. I can't go toe-to-toe with the guy, because he appears to have a crapload more health or does more damage.

    I don't get it; Cappy's gotta be something like level 30, too.

    I haven't tried it yet, but Deathbird's Feather may help. It makes Spidey nearly invincible (now if only Dugan could also be invincible...). I hate that mission. In fact, i hate most comic missions. they're so god damned hard.

    Spoiler tags because it's kind of a puzzle...

    [spoiler:b65131b752]Remember that you also have to worry about the missile... the game gives you a clue when it says that "you don't know the order of the codes" or whatever.

    Basically you have to run around the consoles and look for the ones that are kind of twinkling in their displays. Then activate them in order as you find them. After about three of them, the clock resets and you have more time to bash on Winter Soldier. Then you gotta run around again an dreset the clocks. I basically did like 20-30 seconds of beating on him, then leaving 20-30 seconds of running around and resetting clocks.

    It's actually fairly easy after you do this.

    How many points does Cap have available for powers, if any? is he on auto-spend?

    Nah, I immediately take everyone off auto-spend. Not too sure how many points he has available, but I recall dumping most of it into his shield toss.

    I beat it with Cap about level 12 or so. I had three or four points in Shield Bash and fully charged it was able to move Winter's health bar a little bit with each hit. In between bashes I did melee combos; I'm not quite sure how it works, if there's a percentage chance or what, but every few combos would make WS drop enough reds and blues to keep me going. The other thing is to hit block if it looks like he's winding up for one of his more powerful attacks. Oh! and I almost forgot, try and keep Cap's buff power on as much as possible, it really helps, especially with a few points in it.

    Similarly, to the guy who's having trouble with the Iron Man mission: the best way to beat Ultimo is to patiently melee the fuck out of him, blocking whenever he winds up for a smash or a stomp, and when your blue bar fills up back off to hit him with fully charged repulsor blasts.

    Maybe I'm just underestimating the value of blocking. Hmmm.

    I don't think I blocked even once while playing through, nor did I use buffs often. my basic rule is this: "If I can't kill it now, kill other things until I can kill the big thing."

    Blocking is key in the comic missions. The main game has attacks that can penetrate blocks, but it would be lame to do that in a mission where you only have one guy and he's fighting someone it normally takes a full team to take on, right?

    I mean, maybe some of the later comic missions have that - I'm only on Act 3 - but I've done Wolvie, Cap, Reed, Iron Man, Thing, Elektra, Dr. Strange, and Blade and so far blocking has worked for all of them. Beating the bosses has been more taxing on my patience than anything else.

    Man, how the hell do you beat Cappy's comic mission?

    I can delay the timer no problem, but Winter Soldier just grinds my health down to nothing. I can't go toe-to-toe with the guy, because he appears to have a crapload more health or does more damage.

    I don't get it; Cappy's gotta be something like level 30, too.
    I beat it with Cap about level 12 or so. I had three or four points in Shield Bash and fully charged it was able to move Winter's health bar a little bit with each hit. In between bashes I did melee combos; I'm not quite sure how it works, if there's a percentage chance or what, but every few combos would make WS drop enough reds and blues to keep me going. The other thing is to hit block if it looks like he's winding up for one of his more powerful attacks. Oh! and I almost forgot, try and keep Cap's buff power on as much as possible, it really helps, especially with a few points in it.

    Similarly, to the guy who's having trouble with the Iron Man mission: the best way to beat Ultimo is to patiently melee the fuck out of him, blocking whenever he winds up for a smash or a stomp, and when your blue bar fills up back off to hit him with fully charged repulsor blasts.

    Maybe I'm just underestimating the value of blocking. Hmmm.

    I don't think I blocked even once while playing through, nor did I use buffs often. my basic rule is this: "If I can't kill it now, kill other things until I can kill the big thing."

    Yup, i never block either. I just nuked the shit out of everything with either thor (using the wind thingie when there was multiple enemies around, that move was ownage) or torch. Pretty much only used the torch in boss fights, i forgot what the move was called but its the one that knocks most enemies from into the air from under them, anyway i would just used that move till i got too much agro and then get the agro back with thor...

    Hm. I'm noticing Ghost Rider's Penance Stare seems to also give me health back, because it was doing that during the boss battle before I had the item that had that effect.

    Weird.

    Just remember that when you start having to press two buttons to stop something from happening, you hold the buttons. Tapping them doesn't work.

    I must have done Storms comic thing about six times before I remembered.

    Whats the trick to fucking up [spoiler:3ebfa7b674]The Grey Gargoyle? I knock his health all the way down, but he gets some back. I'm guess I have to find away to take out his healers first [/spoiler:3ebfa7b674][/b]

    [spoiler:7af4df0f3f]Basically, just take out his healers. Radial attacks and heavy-damage attacks will both work for this. Human Torch's Inferno attack works, as does the Venom Blast of Spider-Woman, Iron Man's starting power, and so on. Basically, you just need to do a lot of damage, aim at healer, and fire.[/spoiler:7af4df0f3f]

    Put a ton of points into Cap's melee boost, ups your damage by a wide margin.

    Yeah, the boosts help a shit ton against the bosses on almost all the disc missions Ive done so far.

    However, I still cant beat Blade's... Dark Spider-Man rips me a new one everytime.

    For Australians, the PC version is selling at an insane $29.95. Console versions are at the regular prices, i.e. $100. D:

    Deathbird's Feather.

    Seriously. It works so well. It's helped me win almost every Comic Mission i've come across (only one i haven't won is Wolverine's, cause i can't fucking kill Warstar before all the cores are destroyed).

    Dont have that item yet, but I did manage to beat Blade's comic mission finally... For the Wolverine one, I ignored all the guys attacking the cores and just went all out nuts on Warstar's face... Protecting the Cores wasnt nearly as bad as defending Dum Dum Dugan on Spider-Man's mission.

    Anyone know of a good walkthrough? The ones I've found online seem to end at about halfway through Act 3.

    I don't worry about finding every little thing, but I do want all those sim disks, and some of the boss beatdown methods are a bit mysterious.

    Well, at least you can take all but the first point out, so if something sucks youve only wasted one(sometimes two for higher level skills) point...

    Late to the party... finally got my PS2 copy; it was defective (all cut scenes skipped terribly), exchanged it -- finally have a working copy now.

    Great game so far - I'm about 4 hours in, having a blast just jamming through missions. They've seemed to have streamlined everything about the XML engine to keep yourself from getting annoyed:

    1) No more completely customizable stats. The days of Mage Wolverine or Bruiser Jubilee are over. On the other hand, you can't screw yourself over trying to create such characters, either.

    2) Special Move Combos ("COMBO!!") seem to be a lot rarer, and don't give the ridiculous bonuses they used to. Also, the melee combo choices seem to have been trimmed, too -- not that everyone didn't just dial in the 7-string throughout XML anyways. I like the new grapples and moves, but mainly for cosmetic purposes than for usefulness. Mr. Fantastic's grapple slam made my jaw drop.

    3) It was a nice touch that the game doesn't penalize you for switching characters around until a few hours into the game, and even then you don't have to commit to a team roster until you're ready. I was half-afraid that at the get-go you would have to pick 4 and just stick with them.

    Is there anyone else out there who goes for style rather than substance in their team selection? I'm holding off on starting my team until I get Blade, at which he along with Deadpool, Elektra, and Wolverine will form the Sharp Pointy Things.

    Luke Cage
    Spider Woman
    Storm Thor
    Dead Pool
    Invisible Woman
    Shocker
    ??? (probably the act 3 disc that I'm missing)
    Iceman

    Ulik
    ???
    ???
    ???
    Kurse

    I'm assuming the following three are located on the [spoiler:af6638ab3b]Skrull homeworld.[/spoiler:af6638ab3b]

    Any help would be awesome.
