Revenge is a dish best served unsold

Dr Doom has nicked a nuclear weapon and is threatening to unleash it upon the innocent civilian population of New York. Since Empire Software's license also included the rights to produce games starring The Amazing Spider-Man and Captain America, ensuring the survival of five million citizens was tacked onto their to-do lists. They'll certainly have their work cut out seeing as the diabolical doc has drafted in a supporting cast of sinister super-villains to assist: Eduardo Lobo, Grey Gargoyle, Machete, Boomerang, Oddball, Rattan, Electro, Hobgoblin, Rhino, and Batroc.

Tackling them sequentially in a one-on-one beat 'em tournament shindig ultimately leads to a skirmish with the chief purveyor of blackmail and misery himself. Call it Doomsday if you like, although I've heard a few more derogatory terms bandied about to describe this game.
