Each Marvel Adventure International game has a password.
There were planned 12 games, however only 3 were done, and the fourth wa partially finished (not officially released).
The passwords were Scott Adams' children names.

I've taken a quick stab at X-Men, and it does seem interesting. Too bad the series was cut short.
Very compact (just 38 rooms), but well designed, and the puzzles make sense in-universe. Needs the original comic for context. There is a direct connection between one of the ducts in the maze and the starting hallway, which I hadn't seen in any maps. This allows for a slightly shorter solution.
There is a port for the Commodore Plus4. Plus4World download link: https://plus4world.powweb.com/software/Spiderman_Plus4
