This game is defunct. Do note the game no longer works at all without modifications. This is most likely due to the game's servers being shut down. As a result, further official developments with the game are unlikely to happen.

Marvel Super Hero Squad Online (commonly abbreviated to SHSO or MSHSO) was an MMO beat-'em-up style game where you could play as several(as in, over 100) characters from the Marvel comics and movies. The game was successful enough to outlive the source material, before eventually shutting down in 2017, alongside Gazillion Entertainment, it's developers.

Placeholders

Anonymous Squad

If an player doesn't have a username, either via a bug, server issues or cheats, the player's name will default to "Anonymous Squad".

Models

There are leftover models in the game's files.

Hulk

Hulk has a leftover model called "Big Guy" (of which five identical copies were found in the same file), likely from when the character meshes were being made. The early model lacks bones (causing it to be unplayable/unusable), lacks any textures that could be associated with it, and was against all odds found in a Scenario file, which contains objects found in the hub world, instead of the expected Character files.

The changes between the models are small, with the most notable being the hair. Other changes are the feet details and the small tie on Hulk's pants on the Big Guy model.

Early	Final

SHS Logotoken

• 

  The SHSO token. Texture is incredibly rough, as is the model. Features early and otherwise unseen logo.

Cafetaria

• 

  The Cafetaria itself. This was a room in the HQ that was used from 2012 to 2015, when the HQ was removed.

• 

  Food dispenser for the cafetaria.

Graphics

There are leftover graphics in the game's files.

Food Items

• 

  A burger icon. This never got used in any mission, even though it was found in the files for a mission. Was used in the Cafetaria HQ map.

Zones

• 

  A cutaway base found in the files for Baxter Plaza. In game, this is covered by the actual Cutaway graphic and likely serves as a placeholder until the used graphic was made.

• 

  A eyeball. This texture existing is weird considering all NPC's eyes are static on the face texture and don't move.

• 

  The teleporter icon for the Headquarters; The headquarters were removed in 2015 for a unknown reason.

• 

  A roach meant for Villainville. In the files named "Raoch", which is, quite obviously, a misspelling.

Characters

• 

  The iWatch, a iPhone knockoff. Probably a internal joke by the developers. Belongs to The Watcher, according to it's name(watcher_01_props).

• 

  Mole-man has eyes behind his mask, which he never took off in the game. The only time his eyes change are on his happy face.

• 

  A rotating GIF of three heroes (Ms. Marvel, Spider-Man and Thing(?)). Found in a Character menu GUI, but not used.

• 

  The Watcher has faces that are never used within the game, as he is a static NPC that doesn't respond to it's surroundings, unlike civilians.

Missions

• 

  A unused effect, most likely meant for Surtr, who occasionally casts Flame Shield on himself in battle. Surtr was never a playable character though.

Currency

• 

  A texture for a Token with the logo on it; there was never such a logo and any currency was rewarded by completing the mission, instead of collecting. Features a earlier logo that featured stars; these stars are not present in the final logo. This texture is applied on the 3D model of the Token in the 3D model section of this page.

GUI

• 

  Was used to pick emotes until a bar that was permanently on screen was implemented. 2013/2014 marked its removal.

• 

  A animation for the Quicknav. HQ removed in late 2015, went unused

Also present in the files are the Player Frames that were used before the final used one.

The original from 2011; Went unused upon the introduction of the Sidekick feature.

Tutorial

Believe it or not, there's a entire tutorial that was made in the very beginning of the game's lifetime... before the game released. It stuck around in the files for over 7 years. The health bar is wildly different compared to the one that was used, signaling that this screenshot and it's predecessors are from a stage of development during or before 2010.
