[2] UDE announced at the 2014 Gen Con Indianapolis that they would be letting convention-goers playtest a subset of Marvel Origins reprinted as "Vs. System Living Card Game".

If a player has zero or negative endurance at the end of the Recovery Phase, he or she is knocked out of the game.

The Vs. System Comprehensive Rules has an in-depth explanation of every aspect of the game and is official for use in tournament judging.

The game was also periodically supplemented by the release of starter deck sets, of which there were a total of 6.

The first 3 (X-Men vs. the Brotherhood, Spider-Man vs. Doc Ock, and Batman vs. the Joker) drew all their cards from other expansion sets.

Each of the last 3 starter sets also were published to coincide with an associated film also released that year (Batman Begins, Fantastic Four, and X-Men: The Last Stand, respectively).

Additionally, UDE planned an Essential Collections line geared towards introducing characters from outside the Marvel and DC Universes.

It contained two pre-constructed 60-card decks, a comprehensive rule book, and a number of other extras.

While this is generally considered to be a positive factor, sometimes these combinations bring a degeneracy that is unhealthy for tournament play and the long term health of the game.

A video game based on the Vs. System was released on February 27, 2007 for the PC, PSP and Nintendo DS.
