Best superhero games for Marvel fans

While the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has definitely made its mark on pop culture, so have the superhero comics that have been around since the 1940s. From Spider-Man to Iron Man, Captain America to Thor and beyond, some of Marvel's most iconic characters have graced the pages of comic books for decades. And while Marvel Comics has always been known for making movies based on their superheroes, DC Comics isn't too far behind in creating video games based on their DC Comics universe.

There's no denying it: comic books have been immensely influential to the world of video games. Not only do many video game-based stories take inspiration from comic books, but plenty of characters found in comics are now household names thanks to their appearances in video games and movies.

This is especially true for Marvel, who has been involved with video game production since 1984 and has had a hand in some of the most beloved superhero games ever created. Here's a list of 5 Marvel superhero games ranked from worst to best, followed by a list of 5 DC superhero games ranked from worst to best—plus an extra super bonus section at the end!
