Crashes taking health from characters

Its an ideal game for any marvel fan. But can someone explain the logic behind taking a characters health half way because of the game crashing, or automatically losing a vs battle?
Why is the crash blamed on the player?
I find nothing wrong with how it is run, but I dislike having some sort of penalty for the game crashing.
The game was fun while it lasted, but Im going to stop playing.
