Shuri is the 
Black Panther representative in Tokon, and she wields a formidable spear to bolster her moveset. Among the fastest characters in Tokon, she controls the flow of battle with burst movement and nimble animations. Powered by the Bast's Blessing from the Blessing Gauge she can keep constant pressure in ways most characters cannot. If you like installs, she will give you god-like potential with her Heart-Shaped Herb ultimate.
Blade is a versatile rushdown character who excels in getting in by landing projectiles that lead into dashes. If you want to dip your toes into a resource character that isn't too complicated, he features a three-bullet ammo system that can be reloaded. It's his first debut in a Marvel fighting game and he's coming in hot!
Steve Rogers is the ultimate team player and a quintessential all-rounder who fits perfectly into any team. He commands the neutral game with a variety of dashes, acrobatic leaps, and uppercuts. Trick shield bounces let you control space at angles opponents don't expect, and his counterattack rewards you for reading the room. Overall, 
Captain America is the perfect example of high floor, high ceiling.
Carnage attacks with unconventional, writhing animations that are notoriously difficult to predict or read in the heat of a match. While he lacks traditional projectiles, his horrifyingly long-reaching normals more than make up for it. His core mechanic revolves around applying Necrosis, debuff marks that empower his onslaught with massive bonus damage and lethal follow-ups.
Born from the X-Men’s training room, 
Danger is a mechanical nightmare for anyone who struggles against kiting playstyles. She excels at controlling the screen from tricky angles, utilizing teleports, energy beams, and rockets to keep her adversaries pinned down. Her game plan revolves around devastating set-play, heavily utilizing her Calibrate orbs to create inescapable traps.
Deadpool, the Merc with a Mouth is a brilliant, chaotic love letter to fighting game history, packed with references and inside jokes. He is a highly capable all-around fighter, but his sheer volume of chaotic options and mechanics makes him one of the more complex characters to master. His signature mechanic is his Healing Gauge, which uniquely allows him to intentionally damage himself to manipulate his resources and unleash unpredictable offense.
The ruler of Latveria, 
Doctor Doom commands the screen with the arrogance you would expect. Doom is surprisingly mobile, utilizing flight and teleports to dictate the pace of the match from anywhere on the stage. He boasts incredibly strong projectile zoning and anti-projectile tools to lock opponents out, but if they get too close, he has a command grab up his sleeve. Doom has a knack for being high-tier in Marvel games, and here he is once again.
It's no surprise that 
Ghost Rider's playstyle has you living life on the edge due to the Vengeance Gauge. It's a literal Speedometer that can heat and cool based on your usage of his Skills and Uniques. The higher it climbs, the harder he hits, but if you let it overheat, you'll pay for it. His long-reaching chain normals cover enormous ground, and the command grab is there for when your opponent finally stops respecting them.
Norman Osborn, the 
Green Goblin, is an absolute aerial menace. Thanks to his iconic Goblin Glider, he possesses endless movement mixups and is the premier airborne specialist of the roster. While you have to carefully manage the glider's resource meter, doing so allows you to unleash a suffocating projectile game featuring Razor Bats and Pumpkin Bombs that leads into dive opportunities to finish the job.
Hulk hits like a freight train and eats damage on the way in. He has no air dashes, so tricky mobility isn't his strong suit, he'd rather just power through with armored attacks. His Gamma level and Rage ramp him up over the course of a fight, charged either with Gamma Spark or by simply absorbing enemy attacks through his skills. Finally, while he lacks projectiles, clapping and stomping give him a splash of range.
Iron Man is a versatile aerial zoner who dictates the flow of battle with high-tech projectiles and flight mechanics. Entering flight mode allows for incredibly tricky maneuvers and strategic assist calls. He has a respectable ground game as his Iron Avenger dash attacks provide him with a highly effective close-range package to burst down opponents in a pinch.
The God of Mischief is built entirely around psychological warfare. 
Loki relies on traps, trickery, and mind games to dismantle his opponent's game plan, making them look foolish in the process. While he's at his best at range, he still backs up his trickery with highly solid, reliable normals using his sword and staff to control space.
Magik is a versatile all-rounder who commands respect with the massive, sweeping hitboxes of her Soulsword. She utilizes demonic portals and projectiles to keep opponents guessing with tricky cross-ups and screen control. When it’s time to close out the round, her terrifying Dark Child install super transforms her into a demonic threat with devastating potential.
Magneto is a formidable flyer who commands the screen with beefy, oppressive projectiles. His unique resource management requires him to build up metallic debris as the fight progresses, powering up his abilities to catastrophic levels. To round out his zoning kit, he comes equipped with a command grab to punish anyone turtling against the barrage
Kamala Khan, also known as 
Ms Marvel, uses her long, stretchy limbs as her weapons to become a real area control monster. While she lacks an aerial dash, she has plenty of creative ways to get in with her Spencer-like mechanics (Marvel vs Capcom 3). While she lacks projectiles, she has the ability to grapple with Rubberband and her ultimate. Abilities like Zoom Knuckles and Flex on Em give her projectile counterplay if you have good timing.
Piloting her SP//dr mech, 
Peni Parker is a massive big-body trap character with a chaotic twist. Her kit is built around 8 random effects that keep the opponent guessing. Her primary goal is to eventually drop her Spider Beacon, which can be guaranteed via her Ultimate. She also wields a long-ranged projectile that doubles as an engagement tool, forcibly pulling Peni straight into the enemy when you're ready to stop playing keep-away.
Peter Parker blends high mobility and evasiveness with web swings and projectiles to create a unique mix of mixup, projectile, and trap game. His signature Spidey-Sense provides a counterattack that lets you turn the tide with foresight. Like his Marvel Rivals counterpart, 
Spider-Man isn't the easiest character to pick up, but rewards those who invest into him.
Star-Lord adapts to whatever the fight demands by swapping between four elemental guns. Lightning is a fullscreen poke for pure range. Fire launches a slow-moving orb that leads into a multi-hit. Ice sprays a freeze to lock opponents down. Earth throws up a shield that blocks projectiles while firing back through it. He's a flyer with burst movement on top of all that, giving you the tools to face nearly every situation.
Storm really makes you feel like an elemental goddess by manipulating wind, ice, and lightning across mid and long range. Her Tempest resource is the signature standout, providing a unique tool that pushes fighters around the screen and steers her elemental setups directionally. While daunting at first, once you get to understand her flow, you can really let your creativity run wild.
Wolverine is the embodiment of unrelenting rushdown. He is an aggressive, in-your-face mixup character who excels at finding the smallest gaps in an opponent's defense and forcing his way in. His Berserker Rage properties grant him wild combo extensions, allowing him to maul his prey and keep them locked in the corner.
