The Gamer's Handbook of the Marvel Universe is a series of role-playing game supplements published by TSR, beginning in 1988, for the Marvel Super Heroes role-playing game.

The Gamer's Handbook of the Marvel Universe is a series of perfect-bound books for the Marvel Super Heroes Advanced Set game, initially consisting of four handbooks. The heroes and villains are each described on a double-sided sheet, and full-color illustrations appear for each of the major characters. The sheets come drilled so that they can be placed in a three-ring or two-ring binder for the purpose of storage and removal of characters during gaming sessions.^[1]

The first four volumes of the Gamer's Handbook of the Marvel Universe are supplements for the Advanced rules of heroes and villains, each full described and color-illustrated on a separate hole-punched sheet, alphabetical.^[2] Volume one features Abomination thru Dreadnought, volume two features Eel thru Mad-Dog, volume three features Mad Thinker thru Sentry, and volume four features Serpent Society thru Zzaxx.^[2] The next two volumes in the series were titled 1989 Character Updates and 1990 Character Updates.^[2]
