I know Margaret Weis Productions is desperate to get this thing over in the same way the WWE tried to with Ezekiel Jackson or The Great Khali, but it's just not going to happen – especially when the older, better Marvel games are out there. Even those that do use it tend to mod it heavily, and in every case, those mods make the game better, but not necessarily a system you'd still ever want to use.
The original version of Cortex is almost universally reviled by gamers. I guess I should get the obvious out of the way – Marvel Heroic uses the Cortex Plus system. So I can say with some certainty and conviction that the Marvel Heroic Roleplaying Basic Game is by far the absolute WORST Super Hero RPG I've ever come across, and is just plain terrible across the board. Although I've never worked on a super hero RPG before, I have worked on several others, and as you can see, I've played a LOT of games in this tabletop sub-genre. I've played non licensed systems like Champions, ICONS, Supers, Mutants and Masterminds, Brave New World, Villains and Vigilantes and Aberrant. I've played the awesome DC Heroes game by Mayfair (my personal favorite super hero system) along with both Green Ronin and West End's versions.
I've tried the other Marvel games, such as the SAGA system or the one published directly by Marvel Comics. I started with the old TSR Marvel Super Heroes Basic game (my first RPG in fact) and then moved on to the Advanced version.
