X-Men Legends follows the exploits of the well-known Marvel heroes in their ongoing battle to protect humanity from the ravages of evil mutants. Combining the action of a fighting game and the strategy, depth, and story of a role-playing game, gamers and comic fans can command a team of heroes selected from a list of more characters than ever before. Select your squad of four mutants from the vast array of heroes that have been members of the X-Men in its 40-year history and set out on a quest to rid the world of a major threat to mankind. Fight everything from armies of henchmen to formidable battle robots and a vast array of evil mutants from the shapeshifting abilities of Mystique to the absolute power of Magneto. As you tailor your own super team, you can train them in the Danger Room to your own liking. Over time they can learn new moves and even combine their powers, making your X-Men the most powerful heroes the world has ever seen.
