The collection features iconic arcade releases, primarily from Capcom's arcade boards: X-Men: Children of the Atom (1994): The first Marvel-themed fighter by Capcom. Marvel Super Heroes (1995): Introduced the "Infinity Gem" mechanic. X-Men vs. Street Fighter (1996): The debut of the tag-team battle system. Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter (1997): Refined tag mechanics with new character rosters. Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes (1998): Introduced non-playable "Assist" characters. Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes

The "Rune" connection here is aesthetic. The developers at Capcom in the 90s excelled at translating comic book magic into pixel art. The glowing circles that appeared under Blackheart during his super moves were stylized runes, representing contracts with hell or summons from the dark dimension. rune-marvel.vs.capcom.fighting.collection.arcad...
