I've played they game many times since 2002. The story is stock but the scope of the game is unmatched in my humble opinion. Yes it would be wonderful if someone bought the rights and developed a 2020 version, I think it would sell very well considering the MMO's are drying up in this genre. Anyway I digress, the key feature for me is the vast array of start up options, and after a single run through you can import custom characters from marvel or dc. The game allows for so many superhero mashups that it should cover everyone's tastes. Yes it is outdated in graphics but who cares.... Ace game!
