So,

  I was going through my list of a couple thousand games, testing them one-at-a-time when I came across "Marvel Super Heroes", tried to load it and saw the "red screen of denial", stating there are working clones of this game, bla bla bla.

  I'm using a filtered list, but only this one version of the game appears in the list; how can I manually select a working clone to show up instead?  ???
So a leper walks into a bar and as he gets his beer, a finger falls off. The bartender who is serving him turns and pukes all over the place. The leper, feeling bad, says, "Was it my finger falling off?" The bartender turns to him and says, "No, it's the guy dipping chips into your back."

In the 'Generate Filtered List...' screen, you could try using the 'Only if better than parent' Clone Filter.

I say 'try using' because I have not used this with recent versions of Mame, so some of the -listxml etc. changes may have broken this.

Alternatively manually (using the Games List Options menu) add a working version of that game to your list, and manually remove the non-working one!

Ah! Thank you, this worked; I chose the working version (U.S.) from the complete list, and added it to my filtered list :)
