With our MCoC tier list, we’ve gone to war with the best of the best, just so we can tell you what champions are likely to stand victorious, and who’s about as useful as a banana in a shootout. Some of these characters are fan-favourites, such as Spider-Man, Wolverine, and Star-Lord, while others, such as Venom the Duck, are a little more obscure, but that doesn’t mean the ones you haven’t heard of don’t rank well in our Marvel Contest of Champions tier list.
If you’re after similar content, make sure you check out our Marvel Future Revolution tier list, Genshin Impact tier list, Fate Grand Order tier list, Soul Tide tier list, Black Clover M tier list, Disney Mirrorverse tier list, and League of Legends: Wild Rift tier list.

Without further ado, here’s our Marvel Contest of Champions tier list.
