I've played it only a couple of times, you have a nice record there, too
You're not the only one. That Iron Man table is clearly the hardest. Spider man, that's doable. Blade, not easy but not exactly impossible. Wolverine? Probably if you get lucky enough and manage to hit the right ramps at the right time. But Iron man? That shit's set up specifically to make you fail as much as possible.

I owe it all to multiballs. Thank you Doom!

You pretty much got the basic premise of what X-Men is if you saw the first one.

It's essentially another super hero team comic, but part of what sets it apart is that it's pretty focused on the social and political ramifications of there being a really high number of super powered people running around. It's a paper thin discrimination metaphor which covers multiple sides: The government (control that shit), the mob mentality/military types (they're evil and deserve to die), the more neutral type (the X men who tend to get stuck in the middle), the slightly non neutral militant mutants (Magneto with his "I just don't want to be anyone's bitch" beliefs) and the more....extreme sorts (pretty much any OTHER mutant that doesn't fall into one of the other two categories is this. KILL ALL HUMANS.). All wrapped up in a typical "we're a team of people with serious problems trying to protect a world that hates us" storyline that spans several generations and has a lot of character rollover.

It's a lot better than it sounds. Although you kind of have to deal with the tendency to focus on wolverine and his chronic jobbing at times. Not exactly the high point.
