Marvel vs. Capcom Origins is a 2012 video game compilation released on PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade, developed by Iron Galaxy Studios and published by Capcom. It consists of Marvel Super Heroes (1995) and Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes (1998), which are crossover fighting games in the Marvel vs. Capcom series.
The game, which was developed using Marvel Super Heroes' and Clash of Super Heroes' arcade ROMs, aimed to maintain the integrity of their original releases. As such, no changes were made to gameplay mechanics or character balance. Origins introduces high-definition visuals with multiple options for filters and viewing angles. It implements GGPO-enhanced online multiplayer with player lobbies, spectating, and replay saving. It also incorporates a challenge system that awards points used to unlock concept art, secret characters, and other content.
Origins was met with mixed to positive reviews upon release. Critics praised the game for remaining faithful to the arcade versions and its additional features but criticized it by some for its outdated gameplay and unbalanced rosters. In December 2014, the game was removed from its online platforms after Capcom's licensing contracts with Marvel Comics expired. A similar compilation title, Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics, was released in 2024.
