ROAD MAP:
Welcome to Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2! All our favorite heroes are together again to save the world... from themselves. This is an awesome game, which is good since you'll need to complete it twice to reach your platinum. I hope the following guide helps you out. If you have any questions or comments let me know!

STEP ONE: Complete the game on Super Heroic. Overall, this game is not very difficult, but there will be some challenging sections. During this playthrough you should focus primarily on staying alive! The Undefeated Heroes and Immortal Heroics can be earned in your Super Heroic playthrough. (If you do die however, don't fret, missions are stackable with your Legendary run, and can be made up in the Simulator.) In addition to the bulk of your Story-Based trophies, you may also want to use this run to work on: Tactical Training, Seek and Destroy, Uncontained Aggression, Old Friends, the Item Collection trophies, the Trivia trophies, and the Co-op trophies. You should also look at running the Simulator Challenges now since the difficulty here also increases in Legendary.(Thanks to Clin_Diesel for the tip!)

STEP TWO: Start a New Game + on Legendary and complete the game again! You'll keep all your stats, characters, etc. Use this run to make up any failed levels/bosses from last playthrough. Early on, you'll want to work for Back in Action on missions you've already successfully completed. Make sure to choose the opposite side of the Registration Act this time. Shortly after you choose sides, you may want to take a break and spend some time on Costume Collector, Powers of Two, United We Stand, and any of the Training trophies you may still be lacking!

STEP THREE: Clean up! Once you've finished on Legendary, ALL missions are open to you (Pro and Anti-Reg). Replay missions through the Simulator to collect missed items and run through any Simulator Challenges you haven't finished with your now maxed out squad. Congrats on your Platinum!!!

It's baaaack!!! After six and a half months of being absent from the PSN Store, this DLC made a miraculous return to the Store until the end of 2010. All of these are Simulator Missions. They'll be at the very bottom of the list when you look at it. You can do them in any order that you wish. Some of these you can combine into the same playthrough, but the two trophies for Balance should be done separately. It's too difficult and frustrating to try and get both on the same playthrough. Each simulator mission is pretty short, so playing through them once or twice just to get a feel for them is ideal. Here's a brief summary on what to expect from each simulator mission:

Insidious Alliance - You'll be fighting waves of four superheroes/super villains. The first wave is one at a time, but after that, each wave is timed. There are also hazards on the floor that you have to worry about (fire, electricity, ice, etc.). If that wasn't enough, you're being timed. Recommendation: 1-2 playthroughs. Use the Natural Forces team, Thor, Jean Grey, Storm, and Human Torch.

Escort Duty - You have to escort a robot through a series of hallways and rooms. You'll have to contend with robots, both large and small, and various other hazards (electric panels, flamethrower turrets, machine gun turrets, and proximity mines). Recommendation: 1 playthrough. Use the Natural Forces team, Thor, Jean Grey, Storm, Human Torch. Iron Fist is also good for his healing ability. Wolverine is another solid choice as well.

Balance - Side scrolling level where you have to make it to the end, but you're trapped between two force fields that will severely damage your health. Recommendation: 2 playthroughs. Use the Natural Forces team, Thor, Jean Grey, Storm, and Human Torch.

Overload - Magneto and robots. He'll throw projectiles at you and spawn robots to fight you. That's about it. Recommendation: 1 playthrough. Jean Grey, Wolverine, Juggernaut, and Storm. Gambit and Iceman are also good choices because of the Targeted Fusions.

See Decorated Veterans.
Decorated Veterans

Complete 24 maps in Co-Op.
This can be obtained online with a friend, or offline with two controllers. A quick and easy way to do this is to wait until you reach Stark Tower 2. Press Start on the second controller to activate co-op and enter the Simulator. In the Replay Menu, select Stark Tower 1. Once it loads up, run to the 'Next Mission console in the middle of the room and you will be returned to the Replay Menu. Repeat this process 23 more times for your trophy!

NOTE: There is a possible bug with this method wherein on leaving STARK 1 you end up having to play through the NY stages again. A good idea is to save on two separate files back and forth, if one messes up, load the other to avoid replaying these missions. More information can be found here.
Seek and Destroy

Complete all optional mission objectives.
There are 5 missions with Secondary objectives. You must complete them before you complete the primary objective, or you'll have to play the mission again from Replay. The missions are:
1. Latveria, Ascension: Destroy 4 Turrets - These are easily spotted on either side of the path.
2. Latveria, Reactors: Destroy 8 Cyborg Prototypes - The Cyborgs are suspended in giant green tubes. Hit a tube and it will start leaking, then the Cyborg will burst out. Beat him down! There are 6 on the second floor, and 2 on the 3rd. Be sure and search every nook and cranny for them, some are in hidden rooms.
3. NYC, Factory Floors: Destroy 14 Pieces of Latverian Tech - Easy, bust stuff up! Shortly after you battle Grim Reaper, the first 12 are all found in the same room, then the last 2 are in the very next room.
4. Washington D.C., Capitol Offense: Destroy 4 Munitions Piles - These are in the area with the fountain and the Rocket Enemies. Be sure and destroy them BEFORE you kill all 6 Rocket Enemies.
5. Wakanda, Tribal City: Destroy 8 Teleportation Pods - These are the pods that hit the ground and spawn Leader Nanite-Enemies.
Uncontained Aggression

You or other players on your team must destroy 250 health containers.
Very easy. There are boxes throughout the game which give you HP and XP orbs when broken. Playing normally you'll get this no problem. However, if you feel extra destructive, you could probably get it before the end of Castle Doom!
Undefeated Heroes

Defeat 12 mission bosses on Super Heroic or Legendary Difficulty without revival or map reload.
For this trophy, you need to beat 12 MAIN Bosses (Mini-Bosses don't count) without reviving any teammates or having your whole team wiped and having to continue. If a Teammate falls while battling a Boss, simply continue fighting and DON'T revive them. If you defeat the Boss, you still get credit for this trophy. To track which bosses you have succeeded in beating without revival check your stats pages under Maps. Also note that any Bosses you fail to meet the requirements for can be replayed in the Simulator for credit!
Immortal Heroics

Defeat 25 maps on Super Heroic or Legendary Difficulty without revival or map reload.
For this trophy, you need to complete 25 Maps without reviving any teammates or having your whole team wiped and having to continue. If a Teammate falls during a level, simply continue playing and DON'T revive them. If you complete thelevel, you still get credit for this trophy. To track which Maps you have succeeded in beating without revival check your stats pages under Maps. Also note that any maps you fail to meet the requirements for can be replayed in the Simulator for credit!
Back in Action

Perform 10 revivals.
Easiest place to do this is in the Simulator Challenge 'Heavy Metal'. Activate all the bots at once and pound away. Once you get a Fusion Star, pull off a Targeted Fusion to gain a Health Restore. Once you've got a Health Restore let a teammate die, then hold R1 and press the correct button to revive the fallen comrade. Do this 10 times.
Tactical Training

Perform all 5 recommended training Fusions in Latveria.
(2)
These are all completed in Mission 1. You will be prompted where necessary so don't worry about missing them. The Fusions, in order are:
1. Any type of fusion
2. Any type of fusion
3. Spider-Man & Wolverine
4. Iron Man & Wolverine
5. Captain America & Wolverine
Heroes Unite

Perform 10 Fusions with another player-controlled hero in a Co-Op game.
Also very easy. Load up Simulator Challenge 'Basic Combat' and hit Start on controller 2 to activate co-op. Now hold L2 to bring up the Fusion icons, instead of a button press on controller 1, you'll just hit L2 on controller 2 to perform the Fusion! Lather, Rinse, Repeat.
United We Stand

Earn 20 high scores for each type of Fusion: Targeted, Guided, and Clearing.
Each Fusion type has a different 'High Score' attached to it:
Guided Fusions require you to hit 15 enemies.
Clearing Fusions require you to hit 12 enemies.
Targeted Fusion require you to connect to 1 boss or leader.

This will come naturally through playing the game. If you're in a hurry, load up Simulator Challenge 'Basic Combat' and play through to the infinite spawn switches. Activate all three and Fusion away! The only ones that you CANNOT get in the sim are the Targeted Fusions, as there are no bosses or leaders. Just focus on using them as often as possible during your campaign and it'll unlock no problem.
Powers of Two

Perform all Fusions by combining every available pairing of 24 heroes.
This is easiest if left until you've acquired ALL the characters. (At the beginning of Act 3, you'll have all the basic characters unlocked, provided you've been successful at hunting, you'll probably have the three Item Unlock characters as well. Jean Grey, Hulk, Thor). Once you've got them all, head to the Simulator Challenge 'Basic Combat' and clear it up to the infinite spawn switches. Once you get there:
1. Choose a team of 4, but focus on the first character in the line up.
2. Perform a Fusion with each of the other 3 characters.
3. Swap out the 3 secondary characters with 3 new ones.
4. Repeat step 2.
5. Continue this pattern until you've finished with character 1.
6. Swap character 1 and repeat the process.
NOTE: A fusion counts for both characters, regardless of who initiates. So if I use Jean Grey and Fusion with Hulk, I DO NOT need to use Hulk and Fusion with Jean Grey.
Old Friends

Have 10 special conversations between characters with a history while in an HQ map.
(1)
There are several Secret Conversations to be had in each HQ setting. Simply speak to the person on the left with any of the characters list on the right. These can be done during Replay. (Credit for this list goes to Tony198706 of the Gamespot Forums)

All of the sim challenges are fairly simple, as soon as you have the correct team and Boosts equipped! I suggest waiting until after your Legendary playthrough before attempting them though. You'll want high-level Boosts for some of them.

Jean Grey. She is the Sim Challenge queen. You'll want to use her Square Power a lot. The only troublesome Challenges are Heavy Metal and Adrenaline Surge, so I've listed my strategies for them. Keep in mind the Boosts listed below are unlocked in Legendary, so if you choose to do the Challenges during your Super Heroic run, you'll have to use different Boosts. They'll be the same name, just lower numbers. (i.e. Power Up II, Striker III, etc.)

Heavy Metal:
Team: Jean Grey, Human Torch, Storm and Thor.
Boosts: Wade's Fave, Power Up IV, Reserves IV
Rush from one end of the room to the other while activating ALL the switches. You should have a good grouping of Robots now. Double Jump and Glide over the group with Jean and use your Triangle Power to sap their energy. Be sure and hit triangle repeatedly to enlarge the area of attack. If you run out of energy, hit the ground and use a Clearing Fusion with Thor. Once they're all destroyed, rush back down the room and activate the switches again. Repeat this process 4 times for the Gold score.

Adrenaline Surge:
Team: Hulk, Thing, Venom, Nick Fury
Boosts: Wade's Fave, Striker IV,
Keep your multiplier up! Use jump attacks to avoid lots of damage. When you get a Fusion Star, try and hold onto it until you get a 3x Multiplier, then do a clearing fusion on a large group of guards. It took me a few tries, but it's not too difficult. Experiment with different boosts that fit your play style.

Breakout
Team: Jean Grey
Boosts: N/A
The best thing to keep in mind here is that the Bots only go on alert at spotting YOU. Your teammates and rescued friends will not trigger them. Use Jean's Square Power to stun them if you must cross paths. Also note that there are FOUR exits from the are, not just the one you start from, so choose the exit nearest you and make for it!
Melee Training

Complete all melee training goals listed on the Stats page.
You can use the the in-game stats menu to see the goals to accomplish this. Very easy, you'll likely get it without trying.
Power Training

Complete all Power training goals listed on the Stats page.
Also easy. Again, use the in-game stats menu to see the goals to accomplish this.
Every Trick In The Book

Complete all combat mastery goals listed on the Stats page.
Trickiest trophy for me. Could NOT figure out how to get a few of these:

Get a 5 Explosion Chain Reaction: There is a bug in this trophy!

Knock down 5 foes with 1 object: Load up Washington DC: Capitol Offense. Clear the first area, and carry a car all the way to where the downed chopper is, and all the guys climbing the wall. Look for a grouping and chuck the car at them!

Robots destroyed with own grenades: Load up the Simulator Challenge 'Heavy Metal'. Choose Jean Grey, Hulk, Thing and Venom. Activate 1 robot and use your X Power on it until it's almost dead, then hold L2, like you're going to use Fusion, but DON'T. This will freeze your 3 teammates allowing the Robot to lock onto you and launch a grenade. Pick it up and throw it back. It may take a couple nades, but you'll get him! Now activate another and repeat.

Alt Strategy by Thoran: When it says to destroy 20 robots with their own grenade, this isn't true, you can destroy any robot with any other robot's grenades and you will get this. An easy place to do this is in Prison 42, where Fury says something like "Great, now the security bots come online". You will be attacked by a swarm of small robots with a large grenade tossing robot positioned on either end of the walkway you are on. Just keep grabbing the grenades and tossing them at the little robots and you should be able to get 20 fairly quickly.

Hits with Fire, Cold, and Electricity: Equip the Ice Strike, Fire Strike, and Shock Smash Boosts and go to town. You'll get it in LITERALLY a few seconds. (Thanks to mokarapiromya for the question and xYx1999 for the tip!)

8 trophies

Walk It Off

Progress through 'Insidious Alliance' without breaking any Health Containers.
(1)
At the end of each wave, there will be a panel in the center of the platform surrounded by a ring of health containers. Don't destroy any of these containers. Just ignore them, walk up to the panel, and push to move on to the next wave. You'll get this once you reach the final wave.
Low Deductible

Complete 'Escort Duty' without destroying any turrets.
In Escort Duty, there are three hallways full of turrets and one room full of flame thrower turrets in the floor. When you see them, just keep moving past them. Your robot will follow, albeit a little slowly. Don't worry though, the turrets don't do too much damage to you.
Perfect Balance

Defeat 75 foes in 'Balance.'
(1)
Basically, you need to kill everything. There are just about 75 enemies in the entire level, so do the math. I think I let a couple slip through though. You'll find that your AI companions are dumb...really, really dumb. So dumb in fact that I've seen them trap themselves between a crate and the moving barrier, then die within seconds. So, do this with friends if you can. The more powerful your team is, the better. The hard part isn't the soldiers. They're easy to get, even the ones on the other platforms. I used Storms's Lightning Strike for them ( & ). The hard part is the robots that run in a straight line through the level. They don't target anything. They just keep moving. Area attacks work best against them.

I used the Natural Forces team playing as Thor (since he's overpowered to the point that it's utterly ridiculous). The other characters that can be used in this team are Jean Grey (use), Storm (use), Human Torch, and Iceman (take your pick of the last two). Thor's Mighty Swipe ( & ), Jean Grey's Phoenix Fury ( & ), and Storm's Gale Force ( & ) are good powers to use.

If you get over about 90000 points, you should be ok. I ended up with 92000 and it unlocked after the level ended.
Old Foes

Defeat 'Overload' with the X-Men.
(2)
The first thing to do here is assemble your team. You need to choose all X-Men characters. Pick any four of Wolverine, Gambit, Iceman, Storm, Jean Grey, Psylocke, Cable, Magneto, and Juggernaut (yes, he counts). You should see "X-Men" in the top right of the team selection screen. Juggernaut is the strongest of these characters, so he's worth the extra money. I took Wolverine, Juggernaut, Gambit, and Iceman into the simulator. Jean Grey is so overpowered though, she's a good character to use.

Your foe here is Magneto. Attack him until you knock down about a quarter of his health. He'll throw metal shards at you. After you knock down a quarter of his health, a force field will go up around him and two large robots will spawn. Defeat both of these and the force field will drop. Once it drops though, then you'll have little robots to contend with alongside Magneto. Keep attacking him to knock his health down. After about 2/3, another force field will go up and four large robots along with little robots will spawn. Defeat all of four of the big ones, and Magneto's shield will drop again. Attack him again until his health is gone. Once he's defeated, any robot left will explode.

As for the powers to use, Wolverine's Lunging Rage ( & ) works really well and takes down his health quickly. Any clearing Fusion power will also work great against the large groups of robots.
Blows Up Real Nice

Throw all the proximity mines in 'Balance.'
This one is best done alone, and by alone, I mean let your other three companions die. Use a flying character (I used Thor), and let the other characters get killed by the force field.

The mines are the little squares on the floor that flash red when you approach them. Pick them up with and then throw them with . There are only a few sections where in the level where you can find mines, so watch out for them. Be careful though, there are objects scattered around the level that attract other items and random explosions will blow up the mines occasionally. You'll also run into enemies that hit you before you can throw it. If you are prevented from taking care of a mine, just quit or let your characters die, and then restart the mission. All that you really need to do is pick up the mine for it to count. If you don't manage to throw it, you should be ok as long as you picked it up. This will unlock before you get to the final robot.

One thing to watch for is the gates that you have to destroy. In one instance, there are mines on the other sides of the gates. If you use powers to destroy the gate, then you'll trigger the mine and you won't get to it in time. Use your normal attacks to destroy the gates. Don't panic, you'll have plenty of time.

It's better to have one playthrough focused on the mines and one on kills instead of trying to do both in one.

Alternative method from snake2140:
Use Sue Storm (Invisible Woman) and immediately when the level starts hold down to bring up the Fusion menu and just let your teamates keep hitting the force field behind you until they die, should be quick since they pretty much do nothing while is held. Then use her + power to turn invisible and make your way through the level, renewing it as you go. The only enemies that'll give you any grief are the gunners, rocket launchers, and those stupid little round robots with the tazer things. It makes getting that trophy so much easier since you can pretty much just concentrate on throwing them.
No One Left Behind

Complete 'Insidious Alliance' with all four heroes left alive.
You just need to have all four of your characters alive when you defeat Carnage. Characters can die and be revived. You'll get one health pack at the end of each wave. There are four waves of four characters each (the final wave has five). In the first wave, you fight them one at a time. After that, you fight multiple enemies at once. Use the Natural Forces team described in Perfect Balance. Substituting in Green Goblin and Nick Fury for Storm and Iceman/Human Torch also makes for a good team. Thor's Mjolnir Strike ( & ) and Mighty Swipe ( & ) deal a ton damage, so spam them as often as you can.

This is really about how you utilize the health packs that you get and the characters that you're comfortable using. If you have a team that can tear through bosses quickly and without much difficulty, use them. As stated before, you get one at the end of each wave. You'll also get one for successfully completing a Targeted Fusion Attack. In between rounds, you can also substitute Iron Fist in to heal ( & ) the other members of your team, then swap him out.
Blitz

Defeat 2 foes within 10 seconds in 'Insidious Alliance.'
You won't have a chance to do this on the first wave since the enemies come at you one at a time. Starting with the second wave though, you'll have multiple enemies at once. Knock the health of one enemy down below half and then concentrate on the other one. Go back and forth getting both of them pretty low. Once both are near dead, and near each other, use one of your character's powers to knock out one and then the other. See No One Left Behind for team details.
Hotfoot

Complete 'Escort Duty' without disabling any floor hazards.
(3)
There are two rooms full of electrical hazards. Both have panels where you can disable the panels. Don't. Ignore them and double jump ( ) over the floor panels. The second room has giant crates that you'll have to move around in order to make your way through. Remember, you not only have to make a path for yourself to reach the exit, but you have to make a path for the robot too. Don't worry though, your robot can take a lot of punishment.

Don't worry about the proximity mines, those can be either blown up or thrown. They only floor hazards that you need to worry about are the electrical ones. If want to get Low Deductible at the same time, then don't destroy any of the wall turrets or flamethrower turrets either.
