Don't put this type of thread in Game Talk. Put it in the Technical Problems board.

This is because there are no mannequins for these characters. Which mods did you install? Remember you need to install the next-gen. mod or the Official Characters mod first. In case you ask, mannequins are the things that are below your cursor before you select the superhero on the team selection screen.

EDIT: Or what Sanga said.

How old's your computer? It could be a graphics card issues as I had a similar problem when trying to install on a laptop. Double check that you have the latest drivers installed just in case - worst case scenario could be your computer isn't powerful enough

The first thing we need to know is your computer specs:

1-Click Start, then Run
2-Type dxdiag and hit Enter
3-At the bottom of a new window will be a button called "Save All Information...".  Hit it.
4-Save the file to your desktop
5-Open the file (it's a simple text file)
6-Attach the file here
