Civil Warrior

"Look at you... pale reflections of your true selves! You don't even remember what it is to be heroes anymore... but the Civil Warrior is here to remind you!"

—Civil Warrior^[src]

Civil Warrior is a Tech Champion. Being a Tech Champion, he has a Class Bonus against Mutant Champions, but is weak to Cosmic Champions.

Bio[]

There are many rumors about the origins of the mysterious Civil Warrior... legend says he is a Captain America from an alternate Earth ravaged by the Civil War between his own army and Iron Man's forces. On that world, the two heroes mortally wounded each other in the final battle of the war; Steve survived, but Tony didn't. Riddled with guilt for the battle's destruction and the death of his former ally at his own hands, he assumed the mantle of the Civil Warrior. Adding Tony's ARC technology to his Captain America gear, he vowed to use his friend's legacy to stop this senseless conflict from ever happening again.

Mechanics[]

Stack tons of Fury with Civil Warrior, unleash his array of utility to get massive damage, or keep the opponent under your control for the fight.

Trivia[]

In 2016, in order to celebrate Captain America's 75th anniversary, seven Marvel games created unique versions of Captain America. Marvel: Contest of Champions was one of the first to explore the idea of creating a unique version of Captain America while Kabam was in the midst of developing Cosmic Civil War and Cosmic Civil War: Endgame, which led to the creation of Civil Warrior.^[2]
- Other characters from this event include Peggy Carter (Captain America) from Marvel Puzzle Quest and Knight America from Marvel: Avengers Alliance.
Civil Warrior is the second character to be created exclusively for Marvel: Contest of Champions. The first was Guillotine.^[3]
