I liked it. The superman one always bothered me personally.

I think the "Red Superman" was supposed to be Captain Marvel.

Back then it was really hard to make video games about super heros at all because the owners (DC/Marvel) were super-anal about breaking canon. For example, Superman can't be killed. You can't punch Superman in the face and expect to get anywhere. Sure you can claim the henchmen have kryptonite gloves on, but still... So to get around this they made up some dumb story about a virtual world or dimension. You'll notice Superman doesn't "die" (that's impossible in 1988 DC universe). So you see Superman de-rez into a green wire-mesh. It's all a computer simulation. The alternate color superdude? Just a cloned simulation.
