Was conclusion I came to as well after doing a bit more looking online. Thx.

It's quite good, especially in the Advanced version...I really loved Alternity and Conan, and while I never had a chance to play Marvel's Super Heroes, I always wanted to try it.

I strongly prefer, however, the much more narrativist Marvel Heroic RP, from MWP...
4C system is a pseudoclone of MSH.
I've never played the MURPG - I don't do pure point-pusher systems. I have read it, tho'. MURPG does explain itself well.How did Marvel Heroic compare to the Marvel Universe Roleplaying Game from 2003? I always wanted to play any of them but just never had the chance.

To be more clear: MURPG is a randomless system; it's all about the multiple pools of points and how much you're willing to allocate.
Marvel Heroic is about narrating your dice into your pool, and choosing when to nerf yourself... Essenitally, Pick one from each category of ratings, and roll them all, remove all 1's (and convert them into complications in exchange for Plot Points), then pick 2 of the remaining as your success total, and one other as the effect die. the number on the effect die (2+) is immaterial; it's how many sides the effect die has that matters. The categories you pick one each from: Number of Heroes (solo/buddy/team), Distinctions, Each Power Group, talent, opponent complications or damage, scene conditions. Plot points allow a second each. You must narrate to use.
Just to forestall requests for the other one...
MSHAG: Marvel Super Heroes Adventure Game (Saga System) is a card based TSR game. It plays well, and while I like it as a pick-up marvel game with pregens, it's got some issues as a campaign game.

In my memory this was a little later so I thought it was a WotC game. I love the Marvel version of the game and would really like a more generic toolkit based on the system.No love for DL 5th Age? I'd love to see a modern version of the Saga rules.
I always wondered what messed up contractual issues caused WotC to not renew their license with LFL for Star Wars.I would love to see a new wotc Star Wars project. I haven't been satisfied with any fan project I've seen, I don't like Fantasy Flight's RPG design work at all, and I have a hard time playing Saga Edition without wanting to dig into the system and edit a lot of it*.
