Characters
Characters
The game featured an assortment of Marvel Comics supervillains through the course of the game, many of whom are relatively minor characters in the comic books: Eduardo Lobo, Grey Gargoyle, Machete, Boomerang, Oddball, Electro, Hobgoblin, Rhino, Batroc the Leaper, Zaran, Rattan (who was created specifically for the game), and finally Doctor Doom himself. Among the bosses included is also the Hulk (later revealed to be an illusion by Mysterio). The game's manual provided biographies on each character in a style similar to the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, and information about each character was used as a form of copy protection.

Reception
Computer Gaming World gave Doctor Doom's Revenge a mixed review, praising the graphics but noting the game loaded and played very slowly. The review also noted the game was extremely linear, and the controls were unresponsive. Compute! liked the PC version's graphics and sound card audio, but the reviewer—a fan of Marvel Comics—stated that the story was not as thought-provoking as the source material. The magazine described the Commodore 64 version as "a perfect example of a great idea that just doesn't cut it... the comics are more complex and thus more interesting", calling fights "disappointing" despite the "great" graphics. In 1996, Computer Gaming World declared Spiderman/Captain America vs. Doctor Doom the 27th-worst computer game ever released.
