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.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths

Deadpool, Wolverine, Wolverine (X-23), Ultron
- Civil Warrior’s ability to keep frequent Heal Block effects active allows him to deny these Champions their much needed Regeneration effects.^[1]

Cyclops (Both), Storm
- In addition to a class advantage, Civil Warrior’s ability to perform strong Power Drain effects denies these Champions their ability to perform their much needed special attacks. Additionally, his ability to reduce enemy Offensive Ability Accuracy means that these Champions cannot trigger their Armor Break and Stun effects.^[1]

Weaknesses

Iron Fist, Spider-Man (Symbiote), Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan)
- These Champions have a reliable way to strip away Civil Warrior’s Armor Up effects and do not rely on Offensive Ability Accuracy for their damage output as much as other Champions.^[1]

Recommended Masteries

Parry
- One of Civil Warrior's greatest strengths is his ability to apply a Heal Block with his Heavy Attack. By triggering Parry, then going into a Heavy Attack, Civil Warrior can keep these short Heal Block effects active throughout the fight.^[1]

Collar Tech
- Civil Warrior's ability to block his opponent's incoming Special Damage, both from his Armor Up effects and his Signature Ability, allows him a great deal of survivability against opponents that rely on Special Damage. Grabbing this Mastery further enhances this advantage by lowering the opponent's Power Gain and reducing the number of Special Attacks overall.^[1]

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]
