Challenge 1: Finish Line

To complete this challenge, simply finish the level.

When the level starts, approach the circular socket to the left and smash the nearby clump of crumpled metal to reveal a Build-it. Use the Build-it to assemble a generator.

A few seconds after the level starts, three Brotherhood mutants drop into the area. If you move quickly, you should be able to assemble the generator before the nearest enemy reaches you. Defeat this enemy, but stay near the edge of the room to prevent the other enemies from noticing you.

Five more sockets are scattered around the room. Stay near the wall to the left and move toward the bottom of the screen to find another socket. Smash the clump of metal and use the resulting Build-it to assemble another generator.

After you build the second generator, turn back and move toward the top of the screen. Stay near the edge of the room and circle the area to locate the remaining sockets. Each time you spot an empty socket, smash the nearby clump of metal and assemble the missing generator.

If you follow this route, the remaining enemies shouldn’t spot you until you approach the last socket. Defeat the Brotherhood mutant that uses melee attacks, but don’t engage the enemy that utilizes ranged attacks. Dodge the incoming attacks as you assemble the last generator. The brief pause between the ranged attacks provides enough time to safely move a few bits in place.

When the job is done, use Storm’s lightning attacks to charge one of the six generators. As you do, position yourself so that the generator provides cover from the Brotherhood mutant’s ranged attacks. When the generator is fully charged, defeat the remaining Brotherhood mutant.

When you defeat all three of the Brotherhood mutants, Rhino drops into the room and runs toward you. When this happens, take cover behind the charged generator. If Rhino crashes into the charged generator, he’s carried out of the area and the battle’s next phase begins. If he misses the generator, adjust your position to bait him into hitting the generator on his next attack.

Once Rhino starts running, he moves in a straight line. As long as you have a general idea of Rhino’s whereabouts, you should be able to lure him into your trap. Position yourself so that the charged generator is between you and Rhino, then wait for him to come running toward you. When Rhino collides with the charged generator, the impact knocks him unconscious and destroys the device.

When Rhino is knocked unconscious, he’s carried off and three more Brotherhood mutants drop into the room. Defeat the Brotherhood mutants to draw Rhino back into the area.

Trick Rhino into colliding with a charged generator to complete the battle’s second phase, then repeat the process to finish the level: Defeat the third wave of Brotherhood mutants, then bait Rhino into attacking another fully charged generator.

Challenge 2: Stud Collector

To complete this challenge, you must collect over 10,000 studs before the level ends.

The map is fairly small, but it contains more than enough enemies, loose studs, and breakable objects to complete this challenge. Make a full sweep of the map before you finish the level to ensure that you earn the required studs.

Challenge 3: Minikit

To complete this challenge, you must collect the minikit hidden in the level.

After you unlock Free Play for this level, revisit the map as Spider-Man. When the level starts, move toward the top of the screen and scale the climbing wall to find the minikit.

Challenge 4: Thick Skinned

To complete this challenge, you must defeat Rhino within the 160-second time limit.

The simplest way to save time is to build a single generator during each round. When the level starts, build the closest generator, then clear out the Brotherhood mutants as they arrive. When Rhino appears, dodge out of his path and charge up the generator as you wait for him to turn back for another attack.

If Magneto begins draining your generator, just stay put and recharge it. After Rhino crashes knocks himself unconscious, repeat the process to progress the battle as quickly as possible: Dash to the next generator slot, assemble the generator as the Brotherhood mutants arrive, then defeat them to lure Rhino back into the area as quickly as possible. If you stay on task, you shouldn’t have any trouble luring Rhino into three charged generators within the allotted time.

Challenge 5: Red Brick

To complete this challenge, you must collect the Red Brick hidden in the level.

After you unlock Free Play for this level, revisit the map as Iron Man. When the level starts, move to the right and locate the silver LEGO bars on the back wall. Use Iron Man’s ranged attacks to blast through the bars, then step into the alcove and collect the Red Brick.

Challenge 6: Clean Sweep

To complete this challenge, you must defeat nine Brotherhood mutants before you finish the level.

During each phase of the battle, you must defeat three Brotherhood enemies to draw Rhino into the area. By the time you finish the level, you will have automatically completed this challenge.

Challenge 7: SUPER Moves!

To complete this challenge, you must use a single Super Move to defeat three enemies.

When the level starts, collect enough studs to charge a Super Move. Assemble generators, destroy objects, and collect the loose studs scattered around the area. When your Super Move is ready, round up the three Brotherhood mutants scattered around the area. Unleash Storm’s Super Move to defeat all three enemies with a single attack.

Challenge 8: Alternate Hero

To complete this challenge, you must finish the level while playing as Magneto.

After you unlock Magneto, use him to revisit the level during Free Play. Magneto isn’t able to charge the generators, so it’s best to play through the bulk of the level as Storm. Before you defeat the final wave of Brotherhood mutants, use Storm’s lightning attack to charge the four remaining generators. Switch back to Magneto and defeat the Brotherhood mutants, then lure Rhino into one of the charged generators.

Challenge 9: Tag Me In

To complete this challenge, you must use one or more Tag Moves to defeat three enemies.

Spider-Man’s Tag Move is purely defensive, so you must complete this challenge during Free Play. Because Storm will be your Tag partner, you’re free to select any character you like. When the level starts, round up the first three Brotherhood mutants and activate your Tag Move. If your first attack doesn’t defeat all three enemies, continue the battle and allow your Tag Move to recharge as you deal with Rhino. When the next three Brotherhood mutants arrive, use a second Tag Move to complete the challenge.

Challenge 10: Multi-Challenge

To complete this challenge, you must avoid using any Super Moves, refrain from calling on your Tag Partner, and finish the level within the 100-second time limit.

The same tactics described for Thick Skinned can be used to complete this challenge. Assemble one generator as the Brotherhood mutants arrive at the beginning of each phase. Defeat the Brotherhood mutants as quickly as possible, then charge your generator and lure Rhino into it.

The time limit for this challenge doesn’t allow much room for error, so every second counts. The instant Rhino knocks himself unconscious, run to the nearest slot and begin assembling the next generator. Try to have the generator in place by the time the next three Brotherhood mutants appear. Avoid calling on your Tag partner or using any Super Moves, and stay focused to complete the level within the allotted time.
