    So I'm playing, and I turned off auto distribution of points and I seem to be gaining 1 point every 2 levels? When I hit level two with my guys, it says I have zero point to distribute, at level 3 I have 1, at level 4, 1, at level 5, 2 points to distribute. Is this a hidden cost for distributing them yourself, did they change the model of gameplay to a point every two levels because of the lowered amount of powers, or is my game just screwed up?

    The cost to gain skills goes up the higher you level the skill... It starts at one, then it goes up to two later on...

    although, some start at two points...

    So if you jack up Spider-Woman's venom blast she's pretty much the most devastating thing in the universe.

    Hell yeah. I've been using her since Act One and she's a literal death machine. Give her a couple of the body and focus upgrades you find laying around and she'll always be your last man standing.

    I played Iron Man a bit today, and his little AOE blast is insane. I'm finding something out about pretty much every character that is insanely strong...i see myself going through and replaying this game a lot

    It's a bit easier if you use Deadpool, because his teleport attack doesn't get knocked away by Galactus.

    on the subject of costumes, what about colossus's third costume? he doesn't have a sim disc, and the 4th one is the first one to get unlocked.

    Anyone get this game for the PC? I'm in murderland and playing one of the sidegames…Bricks? I honestly don't know what it's called. I'm prompted to hit F to push or pull, which I've had to use previously in the game but it didn't do anything in this side game. I tried on both sides of it…any tips?

    Great stuff. It's a shame that sort of detail didn't wind up in the final product, though I suppose it would be tough due to the perspective.
