Challenge 1: Finish Line

To complete this challenge, simply finish the level.

As you clear out the Doombots in the starting area, keep an eye out for Green Goblin. Dash away from any pumpkin bombs he drops as he flies through the area.

After you’ve dealt with the Doombots, move to the generator at the far end of the starting area. Destroy the generator to deactivate the nearby laser wall. Use melee strikes to smash the generator, or use the Thing’s Grab move to rip the generator off the ground.

Continue down the steps and defeat the next group of Doombots. When it’s safe, smash through the nearby door and head into the narrow room behind the windows. Smash the statue at the end of the room to reveal a switch, then stand on the switch until the energy bridge appears outside the windows.

Exit the room and head across the energy bridge. Green Goblin makes another pass through the area, so dash across the bridge to get ahead of his pumpkin bombs, or hang back and wait until the path is clear. When you reach the end of the bridge, step on the small lift and ride up to the next area.

The next energy bridge vanishes when you approach it—you must defeat all the Doombots in the area before you can continue. Defeat the enemies as they appear, and watch out for the pumpkin bombs Green Goblin throws throughout the battle.

Continue to battle the Doombots until Green Goblin flies away. Search the area for studs and breakable objects, then cross the energy bridge to reach the last area.

Continue to the end of the main path and clear out any Doombots you encounter. Search the area for studs and breakable objects, then approach one of the glowing spheres near the locked doors. Attack the sphere until the connected generator is fully charged, then repeat the process with the remaining sphere.

When both generators are charged, the doors swing apart. Head through the opening to finish the level.

Challenge 2: Stud Collector

To complete this challenge, you must collect over 60,000 studs before the level ends.

To complete this challenge during Story mode, you must counter a significant number of Doombot attacks. However, you can save a great deal of time and effort by using a flying character to complete this challenge during Free Play. As you move through the level, sweep each area for enemies, breakable objects and loose studs. When you reach the locked doors at the end of the map, use Iron Man to fly over the laser wall to the right.

Sweep the area for enemies and breakable objects, then fly up to the walkway at the edge of the area. As you sweep the area for more studs, fly onto the round platform and destroy the large gargoyle to find the blue stud hidden beneath it.

When you finish searching the area, fly over the walkway on the other side of the locked doors to find more loose studs and breakable objects. If you’ve been thorough, you shouldn’t have any trouble meeting the stud requirement.

Challenge 3: Minikit

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

After you unlock Free Play for this level, use a flying character to reach the walkway beyond the laser wall at the end of the map. Locate the Doctor Doom statue near the large gargoyle’s platform.

Destroy the Doctor Doom statue to reveal the minikit.

Challenge 4: Full Power

To complete this challenge, you must charge both of the generators at the end of the map within the 100-second time limit.

During Story mode, you’ll spend a good deal of the allotted time defeating the Doombots near the vanishing energy bridge. Race through the start of the map to ensure that you stay ahead of the clock. When you reach the vanishing bridge, use the Thing’s Grab move to quickly defeat each Doombot as it arrives. Clear out the enemies until Green Goblin flies out of the area, then dash to the locked doors at the end of the map.

Attack one of the glowing spheres to begin charging the attached generator. As you do, watch for the Doombots that have followed you through the area. If an enemy approaches, use the Thing’s Grab move to quickly defeat it, then resume your attacks on the sphere. When the first generator is charged, dash to the remaining sphere and repeat the process to power the elevator within the allotted time.

Challenge 5: Excelsior!

To complete this challenge, you must find and rescue Stan Lee.

After you unlock Free Play for this level, revisit the map with Jean Grey (or another character with telekinesis) to complete this challenge. Move through the level until you battle the Doombots near the vanishing bridge. When the area is clear, head down the steps to the right and destroy the nearby energy barrier.

Continue up to the small platform and locate the cage mounted on the nearby tower. Use telekinesis to move the cage onto the platform, then destroy the cage to rescue Stan Lee.

Challenge 6: Clean Sweep

To complete this challenge, you must defeat 47 Doombots before the level ends.

You’ll encounter most of the Doombots as you move along the main path. To reach the last group of enemies, however, you must use a flying character to revisit the map during Free Play. Make a full sweep of each area to ensure that you defeat all the available Doombots. When you reach the glowing spheres at the end of the map, use your flying character to reach the enemies beyond the laser wall to the right.

Search the entire platform to ensure that all available Doombots enter the area. Defeat the remaining enemies before you finish the level.

Challenge 7: Combo Master

To complete this challenge, you must perform a × 10 combo.

It can be very difficult to chain the Thing’s powerful melee strikes into an extended combo. Instead, select a character with a rapid-fire ranged attack to complete this challenge during Free Play. Simply gather a few Doombots and use a series of ranged attacks to perform a ×10 combo.

If you’re determined to complete this challenge as the Thing, it’s best to do so near the vanishing bridge. Attack the nearest Doombot with two melee strikes, then use the Dodge move to dash toward a different enemy. Deliver two melee strikes, then dash to the next target. Repeat the process to build your combo as fresh Doombots drop into the area.

Challenge 8: Flawless Win!

To complete this challenge, you must finish the level without taking any damage.

The Thing’s melee combos are powerful, but they’re also fairly slow. To complete this challenge during Story mode, use the Thing’s Grab move whenever you’re dealing with multiple Doombots. Each time you grab an enemy, throw it at a nearby Doombot to interrupt incoming attacks. Remember that staying healthy is your top priority.

Whenever you spot Green Goblin, watch out for any incoming pumpkin bombs. If things get a little chaotic, activate the Invisible Woman’s Tag Move to gain a temporary shield. Stay alert and finish the level without taking any damage.

Challenge 9: Smashing

To complete this challenge, you must destroy all 20 gargoyles scattered throughout the level.

After you unlock Free Play for this level, use a flying character to complete this challenge. You’ll find the first cluster of gargoyles just before you reach the vanishing bridge. Search the entire platform—including the small area at the bottom of the steps—to find 10 small gargoyles mounted along the railings. After you destroy all of these gargoyles, continue to the area at the end of the map.

The remaining gargoyles are scattered around the last area, but the Thing can reach only a few of them. Smash the gargoyles near the glowing spheres and on the platform to the left. You should now have destroyed 14 of the map’s 20 gargoyles.

Use your flying character to destroy the gargoyles just past the laser wall, then ride the small lift up to the nearby walkway. Smash the gargoyle near the turret, then fly up and destroy the large gargoyle on the nearby platform. Fly to the walkway on the other side of the area and destroy the last two gargoyles to complete the challenge.

Challenge 10: Multi-Challenge

To complete this challenge, you must use one or more Super Moves to defeat five enemies and finish the level as Doctor Doom within the 120-second time limit.

After you unlock Doctor Doom, use him to complete this challenge during Free Play. It’s important to move quickly, but remember to collect the studs you’ll need to charge your Super Moves. Doctor Doom’s Super Move is excellent at clearing out large groups of enemies. When your Super Move is ready, gather a few Doombots and unleash the attack.

Use ranged attacks to quickly defeat all the Doombots that appear near the vanishing bridge. The studs you earn from defeating these enemies should be enough to charge at least one more Super Move, so gather a few Doombots and unleash the attack. Use Super Moves to defeat at least five Doombots, then speed through the rest of the map and finish the level as Doctor Doom.
