The Heros and Adversaries box set from lukestoystore.com gets you IMO a solid Wolverine Spider-man and Deadpool (Venom will be replaced soon by Venom through the ages). I really like the marvel vs capcom figures and think there all done pretty well, plus they're newer so you shouldn't have to pay much for them and they should be easy to find. Just so you know I wanted to do what your attempting to start, just one main version of each character. My first mates were Brown Wolverine and Dark Magneto, which at the time I liked as their main versions but then I wanted yellow and blue Wolverine and found the H&A box at Luke's. Now I buy every new marvel mate and try to find good deals for older ones on eBay
