MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls — All 20 Characters & Teams (Full Roster)
MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls launches with 20 playable characters split into five official teams of four — and a 21st unlockable fighter, The Champion, for beating the first Episode. The roster mixes heroes and villains, includes some inspired deep cuts (Peni Parker, Danger, Shuri's Black Panther), and every character has a distinct playstyle, signature gauge and full English voice cast.
This guide lists every fighter in the game, what they do in combat, and who voices them — plus how the teams work and which characters suit which kind of player.
Here's what you'll learn:
- The complete 20-character roster, team by team
- Every character's playstyle, weapon and signature gauge
- The full English voice cast
- How to unlock the 21st character, The Champion
- Which characters are beginner-friendly and which are high-ceiling
The Full Roster at a Glance
| Team | Characters | Role mix |
|---|---|---|
| Fighting Avengers | Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, Black Panther (Shuri) | Balanced / mid-range / grappler / rushdown |
| Amazing Guardians | Spider-Man, Ms. Marvel, Star-Lord, Peni Parker | Mobility / zoning / projectiles / setup |
| Unbreakable X-Men | Storm, Magik, Wolverine, Danger | Technical / mix-up / rushdown / technical |
| Knights of Doom | Doctor Doom, Magneto, Green Goblin, Carnage | Zoning / zoning / aerial / pressure |
| Samurai Outriders | Ghost Rider, Blade, Loki, Deadpool | Long-range / aggressive / trickster / wildcard |
The five teams are how the character select groups the roster — they don't lock you in, and mixing teams is normal. All 20 fighters share the same four-button L/M/H/U control scheme, but each carries a Unique-button tool and a signature gauge that defines their game plan.
Fighting Avengers
The balanced, easy-to-grasp team — every character here is a sensible first pick.
Captain America (Brian Bloom)
The Sentinel of Liberty is the game's all-rounder: ranged shield throws, gap-closing lunges and anti-airs make him effective at every range. His Ricochet Valley technique bounces the shield off surfaces to hit opponents around corners. Highest EASE OF USE rating and the standard recommendation for brand-new players.
Iron Man (Josh Keaton)
Tony Stark gets a Gundam-style makeover. He's a mid-range combatant with a versatile projectile arsenal and strong aerial mobility — you can sit at range and pressure with repulsors, or rush in when the opponent tries to zone you back. Solid second pick after Captain America.
Hulk (Fred Tatasciore)
A pure grappler/powerhouse with overwhelming strength and huge attack range. Hulk lacks aerial mobility, but he breaks defenses with his offensive kit. His signature Gamma Icon charges a Gamma Rage state — a monstrous buffed mode that turns every hit into a wall of pressure.
Black Panther — Shuri (Erica Luttrell)
Not T'Challa — Shuri, the Queen of Wakanda, takes the mantle. She's an agile rushdown fighter who uses long-range spear strikes and projectiles to charge her Bast's Blessing gauge; when it's full she unleashes an all-out offensive mode. One of the highest-ceiling characters once mastered.
Amazing Guardians
The mobility and zoning team — range control is the theme here.
Spider-Man (Josh Keaton)
Spider-Man uses his agility and webs to stir chaos: web-zips to close distance, and web-slings to escape after landing a hit. He's a mix-up specialist who's never where the opponent expects. Relatively easy to learn, hard to pin down, and one of the strongest picks in the early meta.
Ms. Marvel (Dalia Rooni)
Kamala Khan excels at long range with stretchy normals (think Mister Fantastic). Her Elasti-Grab closes the gap in one motion, and a Rubber Bind grab sets up an overhead Karate Chop. One of the official beginner picks alongside Captain America and Wolverine.
Star-Lord (Scott Porter)
A versatile gunslinger: his Element Blast changes properties, and his rocket boots let him fly across the stage to jump on opponents or escape danger. Strong at range, but leans heavily on projectiles — weak if the opponent closes in.
Peni Parker (Risa Mei)
Peni pilots the SP//dr mech suit and summons drones from her gadget launcher, each useful in different situations. A setup-heavy zoner with a high skill ceiling — she's currently rated low in the early meta because she's too slow for the rushdown style the game favours, but she's a unique pick for patient players.
Unbreakable X-Men
The technical team — two beginners' traps and two absolute monsters in the right hands.
Storm and Danger are flagged in the official guide as highly technical characters with slow payoff. If you're new, put them on the bench and start with Wolverine — he does the same close-range job with a fraction of the execution.
Storm (Mara Junot)
A highly technical character who controls the weather: wind gusts, lightning projectiles and long-range control. Powerful, but her payoff comes late — the official guide flags her as one of the least beginner-friendly fighters. Learn her after you've built fundamentals.
Magik (Jesse Vilinsky)
A close-range mix-up monster with the Soulsword. Her signature is Dark Portals: she can teleport herself and redirect incoming projectiles through them. Portal placement mastery makes her one of the scariest characters in the game — and one of the top-tier picks at launch.
Wolverine (Steve Blum)
An aggressive melee fighter with Adamantium claws and the easiest confirms in the game. His Berserker Rage mode unleashes a flurry of strikes that shred opponents. Beginner-friendly, high-pressure, and always a threat in scrambles.
Danger (Judy Alice Lee)
A sentient Danger Room — and another highly technical character. Her Calibrate ability chains into other skills to deal damage at all ranges, but only if you plan your sequences. High ceiling, high skill floor.
Knights of Doom
The villains' team — zoning, debris and aerial pressure.
Doctor Doom (SungWon Cho)
Doom dominates mid-to-long range with powerful projectiles, a shield that nullifies incoming fire, and teleports that punish over-extension. One of the strongest zoners in the launch meta and a top-tier assist pick for team builds.
Magneto (James Arnold Taylor)
The Master of Magnetism: his projectiles create debris on the battlefield, which he can recollect to boost his other attacks. Strong in the right hands, and expected to climb tier lists as tech develops — a classic Arc System Works zoner design.
Green Goblin (Steve Blum)
A aerial pressure fighter on his glider. His Glider has its own gauge to manage, and his Pumpkin Bomb and Razor Bats projectiles create chaos. Sources disagree on his strength — some rank him top-tier for his air combos, others lower for the glider-gauge dependency.
Carnage (Kellen Goff)
A shapeshifting symbiote fighter who uses his body to infect opponents. His Parasite Fang pierces defenses with razor-sharp precision. Mid-tier in the early meta, with potential that depends on how much symbiote tech the community finds.
Samurai Outriders
The wildcard team — long range, aggression, trickery and pure chaos.
Ghost Rider (Giancarlo Sabogal)
The team leader of the Samurai Outriders. Ghost Rider fights at range with his chain, fuelled by a Vengeance gauge: damage rises as it fills, but a full gauge leaves him vulnerable. Play him in controlled bursts.
Blade (Imari Williams)
The Daywalker is one of the most aggressive characters in the game: the Muramasa sword for close range, machine guns and glaives for everything else. Recommended by several guides as a strong starter who teaches the core systems — and a top-tier pick in the launch meta.
Loki (Jason Spisak)
The God of Mischief conjures illusions, ice and magic projectiles to trick opponents. An unpredictable, chaotic character whose game plan is making the opponent guess wrong — powerful in scrambles, but reliant on setups.
Deadpool (Nolan North)
The Merc with a Mouth is a wildcard: guns, grenades and swords, plus a healing factor that lets him take risks nobody else can. The catch — some of his moves damage himself, which makes him significantly harder to use well than his personality suggests. Fun, complicated, and currently rated low for that reason.
The Champion — The Unlockable 21st Fighter
The Champion is the game's antagonist and the only unlockable character at launch. Beat the first Episode Mode chapter to unlock him. On paper he's a powerhouse with a dangerous design, but in practice he can't hold up against the Marvel cast: he doesn't use the quick team attacks the way the rest of the roster does, so he plays more like a novelty for story-completionists than a ranked threat.
How to Pick Your Team
- Brand-new players: Captain America, Ms. Marvel, Wolverine — the official beginner picks, all with high EASE OF USE ratings and simple confirms.
- Next step: Iron Man and Spider-Man reward spacing and timing without punishing mistakes.
- High ceiling: Magik and Black Panther (Shuri) take you furthest once mastered — both are S/A-tier and genuinely threatening.
- Assist specialists: Doctor Doom and Star-Lord make excellent bench assists for any team comp.
A team that's all close-range gets zoned out; a team that's all zoning gets rushed down. Pair a rushdown point character (Wolverine, Magik, Blade) with a ranged bench (Iron Man, Star-Lord, Doctor Doom) so you can adapt when the opponent commits to one style.
The DLC road is already mapped: the first new fighter announced for the fall is Phoenix Cyclops, a cosmic-powered incarnation from the 2012 Avengers vs. X-Men event — so the roster will grow beyond these 21.
