Hm, GameFAQs lists this as a European-only release https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/amiga/662907-mighty-nerd-vs-the-supervillains/data ; I found it looking rather forlorn in some game store in Seattle back in the day, as far as I can remember; the Amiga pickings were slim and this really looked like the bottom of the barrel--and pretty much was! ;^D
 
You make a superhero in some kind of very early D&D video game-style interface, as far as I can recall, then sort of stumble around a crush sorta Sim City type city and run into super-villains, then stuff happens in a very crummy sorta real-time way. I dunno. I remember being horribly disappointed, although I suppose I must have known what to expect based on the name. Basically bought it for the name. ^ _^
 
I have some idea that it came in one of those big like 10"x10" type thin square sorta folder cases, but I can't find any trace of cover art now, so probably I'm wrong about that.
 
Anyway here are a couple videos I was able to find:
 

 

 
There was also a Mac version! Actually two, mono and color, this site https://hol.abime.net/3844 says, and says the game was "Based on 1988 Winchell Chung/ISM Apple IIGS release, MIGHTY MARVEL VS THE FORCES OF E.V.I.L."--and that game has pretty much the same intro:
 

 
That page also says both listed devs were American, so again I wonder a bit about GameFAQs saying it was an EU-only release by ISM ( oh and here https://youtu.be/JHOdPdVrE5g?t=248 ISM's address is shown as Phoenix, MD)
