Marvel Super-Heroes (role-playing game)

The Marvel Super Heroes role-playing game was published by TSR under licence from Marvel Comics in the 1980s and early 1990s.

It is a game with very descriptive attributes that allowed the Amazing Spider-Man to have Amazing Agility and The Thing to have Monstrous Strength. The gaming system lent itself to games that flowed well because the core mechanics were represented on a single colour-coded table. Effort was obviously put into making the game simulate the comics and the games designers did a very respectable job.

Players could generate their own characters with a fairly simple random generation system.

The system was supported with a considerable number articles published in Dragon and supplements.
