A few small things added before have been added as we September behind and get ready for this year’s HorrorThon in October.
GFX Image Generators: Bishimon, Bulleta/BBH, Demitri, Donovan, and Felicia have been updated with their idle/standing sprite from the original Capcom games. I’ll be adding the other characters’ idle poses soon.
ToyBoss: a new picture with the villainous half of Capcom’s Marvel Super Heroes roster in Marvel Legends form. I finally finished getting all the parts for Blackheart a little while back, got Shuma-Gorath/Gargantos on Sunday, and took a quick pic of all the villains. That makes Marvel Super Heroes the first fighting game roster I’ve ever finished!
update: October 1, 2025 2:49AM EST:
idles added for Hsien-Ko/Lei-Lei, Lilith, Lord Raptor/Zabel, Pyron, and Q.Bee.

What started as an effort to add more to the image generator/screenshot maker’s Marvel vs. Capcom 1 ending options turned into a Secret Wars update with some new sprites. Basically the theme was a secret even to myself while I was working on most of it.
Custom Sprites – Marvel Comics: Black Costume Spider-Man (in the #8 cover by Mike Zeck), Spider-Woman Julia Carpenter (debuted in the series), Absorbing Man (all-new sprite, different style from the 2015 sprite), the Wrecker, and Volcana (also debuted in the series)
mini-logos – Marvel: the Wrecker
The new sprites and mini-logos were added to the GFX Image Generators, which was used to make the image at the top of this post. New options were added to the Marvel vs. Capcom ending found in the fight-size generator.
– backgrounds: a rocky Battleworld stage based on two ads for the toyline
– frames: Marvel Super Heroes arcade ending, and a new custom Secret Wars frame.
– sprite layouts: a new “beat ’em up – 2 players” option, used in the pic at the top of this post.
Coincidentally, Capcom’s MSH line-up features 6 (Spider-Man, Captain America, Iron Man, Wolverine, Doctor Doom, Magneto) of the 8 characters that made up the Mattel Secret Wars toyline’s first year. That stray thought started the whole chain that led to nearly everything in this update.
I’ll be one of the guests on the the Dire’s Place YouTube stream this Saturday, and the topic will be 90s cartoons! The cartoon I chose to talk about has one of the characters from this update!

Monday: There’s going to be an update this week that’s mostly Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars, and I’m going to post previews here and on other spots online. Here’s a do-over that actually got requested a while back, the Absorbing Man, Crusher Creel!
Looks like an ending for a Capcom Secret Wars fighting game, right? This frame and background will be added as options to the MvC1 ending screenstyle in the screenshot makers, and the background (based on a couple of ads for the toyline) will be added to other screenstyles in that generator at a later date. See you tomorrow for the next preview!
Tuesday: Preview 2 is another enemy of Thor who made it into the comics: The Wrecker! He’ll be the only member of the Wrecking Crew in the update, but I think he’s enough trouble as it is.
Wednesday: This update’s been heavy on the villainous side so far, but luckily we have a hero to save the day, and she made her debut in the comic series! That’s right, the Julia Carpenter version of Spider-Woman finally gets a sprite!
Will Thursday’s preview be friend or foe?
Thursday: Another Secret Wars debut (and debut on the site), it’s Volcana! Transformed into a superhuman by Doctor Doom on Battleworld, Volcana fights for that side, but turns out to nowhere near as evil as the circle she runs with then.
The update hits tomorrow!
