  • After Nico's failed attempt at a birthday party for Magik, Carol wishes she could smash a birthday cake. Cap asks why she doesn't do so, she mentions that it's a waste of cake and smashing your own cake just doesn't have the same appeal.
  • Tony and Strange play Monopoly:
    Tony: Out of jail again?! Who made this, Wilson Fisk?
    Strange: Well, if parking is free, clearly no one from Manhattan.
  • Steve admits there are people better than himself. Could also count as a Heartwarming Moment
    Strange: An auspicious night, Mr. Rogers.
    Steve: I told you not to call me that. I can't possibly live up to the name.
  • After Fallen Venom (who's technically under Mind Control by the way), flings a car at Spider-Man, Spidey says that "Someone is extra touchy today!" which cues this from Venom as they climb up to attack their long-time nemesis:
  • When the Dread Maiden first debuts on a mission, Iron Man's immediate response is to repeatedly mock the demon for how enormous its forehead is.
  • When you first invite Deadpool back to the abbey, Caretaker, Blade and Captain Marvel can be heard repeatedly shouting "NO!" over the comms with increasing despair as the Hunter ignores them. This repeats when you invite him to stay permanently at the end of his mission line. Deadpool then promptly skips into the portal, happily saying:
    Deadpool: Look Ma, I'm gonna be DLC!
    • The first time Deadpool mugs for the camera as part of his schtick, the Hunter also looks into the camera, albeit with a confused expression since they don't actually see the camera as Deadpool does.
    • The Hunter can even ask him afterwards what that means, and he'll reply that it's 'Deadpool Living Comfortably.'
    • In the same conversation, when asked why he doesn't remove his mask, he'll say that he can be honest and say that there wasn't budget for it.
  • One of the conversations with Blade has him ask your opinion on the introductory paragraph for a book about his hunting exploits - among which are were-roosters.
  • Not long after you recruit Wolverine, he tells you about his super scent by saying that it reminded him he left his coffee out at the cliffs, and he should probably go get it since he used Captain America's mug. Sure enough, if you go find Steve, he's wondering where his 'America's Dad' mug has gone.
  • The final part of Ghost Rider's research line is an upgrade to the sword in the yard, with the description saying that Strange intends to make the improvement using the fire of the Ghost Rider as a crucible. After completing the research, the description has Robbie note that Strange basically used the Spirit of Vengeance as a glorified welding torch, and that this is 'probably not going to make it into the comic books.'
  • Deadpool's research upgrades include his food truck, complete with outlandish art of him on the side. Tony even notes that while he isn't sure about the actual health benefits of the food Deadpool is promising everyone, it'll be worth going along with it just to see Caretaker's face when it pulls up to the Abbey.
    • Making this even better is that the upgrade to the food truck is just a seating area with tables and chairs that Stark claims is for 'technical science reasons.'
  • While discussing the Faithbreaker suit, which is derived from a sample from Venom, Peter can advise the Hunter on how to tell if the symbiote is influencing his behavior. This includes acting like a jerk, 'emo haircuts' and dancing on the sidewalk.
  • After taking Spider-Man on a mission to the American Southwest, afterwards he might sheepishly ask you not to tell anyone he fell on a cactus during the mission.
  • If you walk into Deadpool or stand in his personal space, he might cheekily tell you his safeword is 'banana.'
  • After reaching a certain level of friendship with Wolverine, he'll ask if you want to face him in a one-on-one. You arrive... and find him standing in front of Robbie's game console, puzzling over how to turn it on. The Hunter, being from the 17th century, is just as lost, and after Wolverine tries to press a button to wake it up and nothing happens they both give up. After the scene is over, a brief shot shows that the console was unplugged the whole time.
  • Blade founds the book club because he initially was using books to try to get closer to his obvious crush, Captain Marvel, but had to invent the club on the spot when Captain America overheard them and asked to join. Hunter can tease him about his motivations. Even better, you can later get a conversation with Cap where it turns out he completely misread the situation and thinks Blade set up the club to try and get closer to him! If you're feeling devilish you can even egg him on to keep trying to be best friends with Blade.
    • Captain America mentions his prior book club at the Avengers Tower - which ended with Black Widow invoking the "Why We Can't Have Nice Things" clause after Tony insults the Hulk's favorite poetry book, causing the big guy to demolish two full floors of the tower before calming back down.
    • When it's Carol's turn to pick a book for book club, she picks a Kree text that's part military protocol manual, part poetry, and part story. While Blade, Captain America and possibly Hunter say they enjoyed it and do a good job analyzing it at the next meaning, afterwards Blade will pull Hunter aside and admit he thought the book was weird.
    • When Wolverine finally joins Blade's book club, he deliberately chooses a retro pulp science fiction novel to get a reaction. At the next meeting, he admits that he did it to drive people away so he could get more of the snacks to himself, but it backfired since everyone actually really enjoyed the book.
  • After constantly teasing their mutual interest throughout the game, the Hunter can catch Blade and Captain Marvel having a moment together outside towards the end of the game, likely after having been tipped off by Peter and Robbie, who were taking bets. Carol and Blade get hilariously annoyed at this and will follow up by yelling at Hunter to go away as the latter laughs.
    • If you helped push Carol and Blade together during the game, when saying farewell to them before the final battle, Blade will quietly but happily tell you to survive so he can invite you to the wedding. When Hunter loudly asks with surprise if they're really getting married Blade embarrassedly shushes him and clarifies he was talking in hypothetical. On Carol's side, she offers to take Hunter and everyone else on vacation to a party planet, but notes that she'll be getting a private suite with Blade. The Hunter smugly asks if they will be 'canoodling' to which Carol groans that she wishes Nico had never taught them that word.
  • During the mission to stop Lilith from assembling the Darkhold in a temple under Mount Wundagore, you have to destroy the pillars holding up the temple to collapse the mountain on top of her after arriving in the Hell Ride with Robbie and Blade. During the fight, the Spirit of Vengeance can remark that they should've driven the Hell Ride through some of the pillars. Blade remarks that he'll tell Robbie the Spirit said that, which gets a laugh from the Spirit in response.
  • Towards the end of the game, Robbie can tell you that Peter is banned from sitting on the Hell Ride because his web fluid wrecks the paint job.
  • If you bring Hulk on a hacking mission and order him to hack the console, he has a unique animation where he'll punch a few keys with a finger, before giving up and just pounding the keyboard with his fist.
  • A lot of the idle posts on Super Link contain a bunch of very funny character interactions. Including:
    • Blade angrily demanding to know which of the Suns left a dirty washcloth in the communal bathroom. He figures out that it's Nico because Magik has a private loofa... and Robbie says right after that he thought it was a communal loofa.
    • Deadpool interrupting an unrelated conversation with messages that say SWIPE LEFT, and continuing to do so as different heroes respond with confused realization he's using the chat like a dating app. He finally declares SWIPE RIGHT when Wolverine chimes in.
    • Captain Marvel irritatedly declaring a ban on eating food in the war room after finding peanut butter on her console. Iron Man initially asks if there was a problem with his sunflower seeds to which Carol replies that no, he tosses most of them in the trash and picks up what misses, complete with data on his accuracy from the console. Spider-Man then sheepishly admits that when he's stressed he sleep-walks... and sleep-eats peanut butter sandwiches, to which Carol rescinds the ban so long as he cleans up the mess.
    • Wanda starting a chat chain with the Latin phrase for 'Your ass is sad.' Magik then replies with 'Your ass is a sheep with ears and eyes.' When Wolverine says he doesn't understand, they claim that it's Transian phrases everyone should know, but get instantly called out by Strange who recognizes the phrases from 'Common Latin Insults.' Magik then tells him in Latin to 'eat my shorts' to which Strange replies she can do the same to his cape.
    • Blade suggests a yoga session outside. Robbie and Magik both decline because it looks like rain. Storm fixes that.
    Magik: Ororo, why...
  • Because of the way cutscenes are programmed, the extra third hero you bring on certain missions uses a shared set of generic animations, regardless of who it is. This becomes funny when you bring the Hulk or Venom on these missions. Because they use their own unique set of animations separate from the human characters, the game will revert them back to Bruce Banner and Eddie Brock respectively during cutscenes, treating you to the sight of them in their casual attire knocking mooks around like heavyweight boxers.
  • When taking Deadpool out on a mission to the American Southwest, he'll ask if the team is going to build sandcastles. When the Hunter reminds him that they are not going to the beach, he replies, "My question stands."
  • One hangout conversation has Tony claim he gives the "Stark" name to anything he feels could do his family proud but reserves the "Tony" name for vanity projects since it keeps him humble when they "inevitably fail". Such as "TonyTunez" a portable record player Tony thought would be a success once vinyl started coming back. Naturally, no one wanted a backpack-sized device that could only play 45 minutes of music.
    Tony: The only place you can find it now is one of those British spy flicks. Three million in Product Placement got us three seconds in the background.
  • When Tony and the Hunter are discussing Tony's backstory, he makes a crack about how hard it was to memorize all those details at Skrull Sleeper Camp.
    Tony: Just kidding. Or am I?
  • In the intro, Johnny Blaze refers to Iron Man as Roboman. The Freeze-Frame Introduction for Iron Man immediately after that, which every playable character gets as they appear, proceeds to call him "Roboman" as well.
  • The Hunter (who has been dead for 300 years and is therefore a bit behind on modern shit-talking) has this gem when defeating an enemy:
    "Blade told me to mention your mother. Apparently she is promiscuous?"
  • When the Hunter is formally made the leader of the team, they are given the choice between blaming the growing tensions on the Avengers, the original Suns, or everyone. If they do the latter, they will still single out Spider-Man as the exception because he's such a Nice Guy. If Eddie Brock is present (whose recruitment mission only unlocks immediately before this scene), he will protest that he just got there, prompting Hunter to exclude Eddie as well.
  • Morbius' DLC storyline involves him and Blade attempting to stop Dracula from stealing a formula that allows him and other vampyres to go out into sunlight without disintegrating. However, all seems lost when it's revealed that Dracula and the vampyres have taken the formula after all, stepping out into the light... but after a battle against Dracula, the formula suddenly wears off as the vampyres explode and Dracula himself beings to burn. It turns out that instead of replicating it, they diluted it to the point where it wore off after roughly one hour, and Dracula is humiliatingly forced to flee.
