The best superheroes games

Since the first wave of Marvel and DC superhero movies a few years ago, superheroes grew from a nerd-thing to a world phenomenon. In the 80s and the early 90s Superman, Batman and co. were almost exclusively confined to comics and a few video games. Some developers also tried to create games using original superheroes: no Marvel, no DC, no big comics company licenses.
