Easy Money
----------
For easy money, health, energy, Extreme Momentum Orbs, and experience for leveling. 
make a team consisting of Luke Cage, Elektra, and Dr.Strange. When they each have a 
full Momentum bar, get a group of enemies around you. Then, use the power. Elektra 
will stun all enemies with her Curse of the Hand. Then Dr. Strange uses his Mystic 
Maelstrom to kill all stunned enemies, causing them to drop Extreme Momentum Orbs 
for each enemy killed. Then, Luke Cage uses his Sweet Christmas to kill any of the 
remaining enemies, giving you +472% more money for each enemy killed in the attack 
sequence. This trick is especially useful for leveling characters, unlocking costumes,
and maxing out stats. The best place to do this is in the Shield training simulator 
on the Thunderball mission. Even if you run out of time you will still get the levels
and money; do not worry about killing the Boss. Just get your momentum on Luke Cage, 
Dr. Strange,and Elektra.

Recommended team
----------------
Use the following trick to make a hard to kill team. Make a team consisting of Wolverine, 
Blade, Ghost Rider, and Luke Cage (the Bad To the Bone team). The team bonus will be that 
5% of all damage will regained as health. Also, all these characters have a way to 
regenerate health. Equip he following outfits. For Wolverine, Astonishing, Max Out Health 
Regen and Defense. For Blade, Ultimate, Max Out Health Regen and Defense. For Luke Cage, 
New Avengers, Max out Health Regen and Defense. For Ghost Rider, Original, Max out 
Resurrect Ally and Defense. It is also recommended that Ghost Rider be equipped with 
The Heart of Mephisto (10% of attack damage turned into health) or a similar item because 
he is the only character without a Health Regen. Equip other characters with gear that 
increases defense or dodging capabilities. Not only will your team be difficult to hurt,
but they will be absorbing and regenerating most of the damage they take. If a teammate 
dies, Ghost Rider will have a 50% chance of resurrecting them. Note that Ghost Rider is 
the weak point. He does not regenerate, and if he dies resurrection is lost. Also, 
Wolverine will regenerate the fastest because he has an inherit ability to regenerate in 
addition to the suit's bonus.

Iron Man Comic mission:
-----------------------
When you get to the end of the mission to battle Ultimo, run back to the door 
you came in. Ultimo is so big he cannot pass the edge of the room he is in. 
You can just sit back and hit him with your ranged attacks. Then when needed, 
fly in and collect the health and energy vials he drops.

Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy reference:
-------------------------------------------
After the third level, go to Iron Man's lab and talk to Spider-Man. He will say "The only 
thing that could make this worse is if Earth was blown up to make an intergalactic highway".

Completing the Comic missions:
------------------------------
To complete all the Comic missions easily and unlock Silver Surfer and get gold 
at the same time, wait and play all the missions at the end of the game when 
your characters have leveled up and have decent powers. If some are still to 
difficult to complete, do some Versus mode missions with those characters 
to level them up, or to pick up some Shield Tokens to add to their costume.

Hard mode:
----------
Do not be afraid of the hard difficulty setting. When you start a game under 
hard mode, you can load your characters from a previously saved game. 
For example, if you have a level 50 Wolverine from normal mode, you can start 
the game with him and all his powers, gear, and costumes that you have gained. 
It also adds five more dots to level up your powers with. If you have one maxed 
out in normal mode, there is even more room for improvement.

Character specific items:
-------------------------
When picking up character specific items, such as "Iron Man's Coil", it is 
described as doing +3 Damage and +3 Rocket Uppercut. This is not +3 to damage 
for the hit; it means that it adds three dots in the Powers area. With this 
single item you can go from 129 Damage to 289 Damage. Character specific 
gear are thus very valuable.


Easy experience and money:
--------------------------
When lighting the candles in Mephisto's Realm, there is an area where you are meant to throw 
the demon jumpers into the fire to lower the pedestal. If you stand in by the edges of the 
level where the jumpers respawn, you can kill as many as desired. Try this as Spider-Man or 
any rapid fire projectile user. The enemies constantly drop money and energy refills. If one 
walks too far away, hopefully your teammates will chase after them and you can use the 
momentum move to wipe them out. Do this for easy experience and money.

Unlockable Characters:
---------------------- 
Nick Fury     - Beat the game on any difficulty 
Black Panther - Collect the Black Panther Action Figures 
Daredevil     - Collect the Daredevil Action Figures 
Dr. Strange   - Rescue him from Mandrin in Act 1 
Ghostrider    - Rescue him from Mephisto in Act 2 
Silver Surfer - Defeat Galactus

Infinite Experience:
-------------------- 
In Mephisto's Realm in the beginning area with the alter that reads, "Thy way shall be lit
by the flames of impure souls." you can garner huge amounts of XP (infinite, if you wish) 
in a very short amount of time. Where the demons spawn, they will instantly respawn after
every death. This is the fastest respawn rate that I've run across in the game (much faster
than the Omega Base simulation missions' infinite spawn room or the Asgard simulation area).
The demons respawn so quickly, that throwing attacks that return (Thor's hammer throw, DD's
Extensive Strike for example) can actually kill one on the way out and one on the way back.
If your heroes are capable of quickly killing (one or two attacks) these low HP mobs , you
will rapidly level all of your heroes or get costumes of heroes you don't already have. 
Thor's Mjolnir's Might or Dare Devil's ES seem perfect for this and only get better as you
quickly level. Alternatively, you could throw the demons over the edge (*not* into the lava
in the center, or the portal will open and the mission is over) but it isn't very quick. 
There is no need to worry about mana expensive, the blue orbs start popping so quickly 
that soon all of the orbs are just adding to the XP. After a very short period of time, 
you will start seeing full-momentum orbs start to pop out too, which means that you can 
start using your Extreme attacks on a regular basis. Rising 16 levels in less than a 30 
minutes is probably very doable.
