Skill points in Marvel’s Avengers are earned by leveling up your character. This is done by earning experience and increasing your Hero Level. You can earn experience from finishing missions and quests, but most of it will come from taking out enemies in the game. It is worth exploring levels to find extra groups of enemies to fight rather than just making a beeline to each waypoint, no matter how much Jarvis is nattering at you.
