Nightcrawler simply is the best (and sometimes the only useful character) to choose because of his extensive, yet deadly teleportation and superior speed
Nightcrawler is clearly the best because of his jump kick and teleport ability, Cyclops has a good projectible mutant power as well as a high jump, Wolverine heals (at the snail's pace of just a fraction of his health every 3 minutes or so) and his claws augment his attacks, but Gambit's mutant power (throwing a charged playing card) isn't useful

Played it when it was brand new and there were great x-men characters
Unlike Streets of Rage, this game is incredibly unforgiving even for the well practiced and time tested players of its levels with years of experience.4 stars because some of what made this game so difficult came down to poor character box hit zones, bosses that required suicide tactics to defeat, and when you die - that X-Man is NEVER coming back
I was a huge fan of Wolverine and Gambit and you get to use them along with Cyclops and Nightcrawler and have use of their mutant abilities, as well as having other X-men to come in to help you along the way that you can call upon.

I'll be blunt as far as which characters are good: all of them except Gambit
: The graphics were great, the characters are fun each in their own right, and before death knocks on your door, this makes for a co-op experience worth a few bucks to get pissed at all over again nowadays.

If you want to play a good Marvel game, try Marvel Super-heroes: war of the Gems.
All in all, this is one of the best Marvel licensed 16-bit games ever, but it would only be topped by it's sequel X-Men 2: The Clone Wars.
After years of Nintendo making very crappy Marvel comic licensed titles, "Sega Genesis does NOT!
Acclaim managed to make plenty of lackluster video games using popular Marvel licenses (X-Men, Spider-Man, Iron Man, and let's not forget that Fantastic Four game for the PS1), but to this day Sega is the only company to make a great X-Men game (in fact they made two; this game and it
It finally makes a good Marvel Comics game (Spider Man for Sega Genesis which I find ok) and its X-Men.

Wolverine can heal, is able to retract his claws, and goes into a rage when his mutant power is empty
Nightcrawler is clearly the best because of his jump kick and teleport ability, Cyclops has a good projectible mutant power as well as a high jump, Wolverine heals (at the snail's pace of just a fraction of his health every 3 minutes or so) and his claws augment his attacks, but Gambit's mutant power (throwing a charged playing card) isn't useful
GAME MISSESIt's bad enough that your mutant powers are limited to a mutant powerbar, but I find it ridiculous that releasing Wolverine's deadly claws are part of his powers (and depletes much of his energy bar even when he is standing still).
When the power bar goes down he'll either retract his claws or he'll start uncontrollably slash allover the place while your life bar depletes.
