A mysterious entity known as the Mastermind arises, manipulating events to create the ultimate battleground involving heroes and villains from different realities.
The Mastermind summons a diverse roster of fighters from the Marvel and Capcom universes to compete in a grand tournament held in a pocket dimension.
Combatants from different worlds confront one another, testing their abilities and forming uneasy alliances as the tournament progresses.
Fighters discover that the tournament serves the Mastermind's goal to siphon their energies for a greater, unknown purpose.
