A Champion is a character that a Summoner uses to defeat opponents. They are acquired through Crystals and the Multiverse Arenas and vary in rarity and strength.

Each Champion has a Hero Rating that can be increased by leveling up, ranking up, Mastery points, and in Arenas and Quests through Synergy Bonuses. They also have a set of Basic Attacks that they can share animations of which with other Champions. Each Champion has a Signature Ability that is unlocked from getting a duplicate of that Champion from a Crystal, as well as three Special Attacks that are mostly unique to that Champion. Champions can also be given Items, which serve a variety of tasks. Boosts are temporary items that increase stats such as Attack, Health, and XP; certain Boosts are exclusive to certain events, such as the Chained Soul Boost being exclusive to the Story Event Pandemonium Rising.

Marvel: Contest of Champions currently features 185 playable characters, 1 temporary playable character, 66 non-playable characters, and 2 upcoming champions with more confirmed to be added in the future.

List of Champions by Release Date

Upcoming Playable Champions

The following Champions have been confirmed to be added into the game at some point in the future. Each entry must have a reliable source verifying its confirmation; otherwise, it will be considered speculation and removed. Kabam is considered a reliable source, but sources other than Kabam (such as MCOC Mods or Marvel Trucos) require two independent confirmations.

Also, if a character is found by hacking into the game files, it should not be added here; official confirmation from Kabam is required before they should be added here.
