The Marvel Comics role-playing game is a role playing game set in the Marvel Universe, in which participants play characters who had various mutations and super powers from other sources.

As in many role-playing games, players roll dice to determine the certain attributes of their characters, and can ultimately create characters with strengths only seen in comic-books.

For example, a character might have "class 100 superhuman strength" - a level of strength applicable to characters within the fictional Marvel Comics universe, which denotes individuals capable of lifting (pressing) 100 tons under optimal conditions, including such individuals as the Hulk, Thor, and the Silver Surfer. There are multiple other classes of superhuman strength, from Class 1 to Class 100+, denoting individuals capable of lifting (pressing) the amount of tonnage denoted by the numeral following the class number.
