X-Men: Children of the Atom

X-Men: Children of the Atom is an arcade game that was developed and published by Capcom and later published by Acclaim Entertainment for home console releases.

Plot
Based on the Fatal Attractions story in the comics, the X-Men fight against the villainous Magneto, who plans on unleashing an electromagnetic pulse on Earth that will disrupt the magnetic fields and create havoc on the electrical systems on Earth. This would create a Dark Age for humans and mutants would run the planet. With that promise, many of the X-Men's enemies team up with Magneto.

Gameplay
X-Men is played like many Capcom fighters such as Street Fighter and Darkstalkers. The player can choose one of six X-Men members or four of their enemies. They then compete in a series of best-two-out-of-three matches. Each character has an X-Power gauge that builds as the player fights during the match. When the player reaches MAX level, they can perform an X-Ability or Hyper X. Players also have a wide array of movement options available to them with the ability to roll and super jump. Players can block incoming attacks as well.
