    The game won praise in its preproduction by many video game magazines for the creation of an original superhero team. However, when the game was released it was widely panned by video game critics for, among other things, having a notoriously poor hit detection that required extremely precise aim for attacks to hit enemies.

    The game was adapted into an animated pilot by DIC Entertainment. It featured the voices of Whoopi Goldberg and Tim Curry. Originally, Doctor Mayhem was voiced by Christopher Walken. Steve Purcell recalled, "It was lively and hilarious. For god-knows-what-reason the producers at the last minute replaced him with a more cartooney voice." Fox Kids aired this pilot as a special on February 22, 1992. It failed to be picked up as a series and was subsequently released on VHS. No DVD or digital video release has surfaced as of yet.
