A bolt from the blue when it appeared in the mid-80's, MSH came to dominate the "Supers" RPG niche. It petered out in the early 90's, only to see a brief revival combined with the SAGA rules system in the late 90's. [see Dragonlance, 5th Age]

Uncanny X-Men Special Campaign Set [BOX SET]
"They are the children of the atom, possibly the next step in human evolution. They are endowed by a quirk of the genetic code with powers and abilities beyond those of mortal men and women. They can be anyone, anywhere. They can be good or evil. They are a potential resource for the future and a potential threat for the present. They are respected, hated, loved, feared. They are mutants, and they are among us.
This campaign boxed set is the most complete reckoning to date of the mutant heroes of the MARVEL UNIVERSE™ as well as their mutant and non-mutant foes. Within these pages are complete histories and membership rosters of all the super-human teams. Archetypes of mutant hero groups allow you to fit your own mutant heroes into the MARVEL UNIVERSE.
This set includes a 96-page roster book, a 64-page campaign setting book, and a 32-page adventure book. Four large full-color map sheets cover the X-Men Mansion, Excaliber's tower, Madripoor, and blueprints of the major mutant groups of the Marvel Universe."

Lands of Dr. Doom [BOX SET]
"If you're a fan of Marvel comic books, and more importantly, if you can't get enough of that Latverian supervillain, this is a great book. You actually get three reference books and the game board. You'll find comprehensive history of Doctor Doom, of Latveria and surrounding fictional countries, and the tools and weapons and sometimes allies of Victor Von Doom. There are some minor inaccuracies, and some of the information is now a little dated. Look for the list of Doctor Doom appearances throughout the Marvel Universe to help you complete your collection." ...an anonymous Amazon user
