Marvel Tokon Tier List
All 20 launch fighters ranked S to C — built from the community consensus, then re-checked against what actually got played at CEO 2026, the game's first offline major.
S Tier — Top of the launch meta — strong in neutral, damage and flexibility.

Magik
Mid-range Soulsword pressure plus Stepping Disc teleports — controls space from afar, then warps straight into high-damage punishes.

Blade
Strong mix-ups, pressure and damage at close-to-mid range. Widely called one of the best fighters to start on.

Doctor Doom
Powerful assist and an oppressive, zoning-heavy neutral. Flexible in almost any team slot.

Spider-Man
Web Zip mobility into flashy, high-damage mix-ups. Forgiving and quick to pick up.

Black Panther
ContestedHeavy pressure, mix-ups and damage. Pros lean S; two specialist sites place him at A.
A Tier — Very strong picks with clear strengths — a step below the very best.

Iron Man
Reliable ranged tools and an all-purpose assist. Unanimous A, with some pros rating his ceiling higher.

Magneto
ContestedRanged zoning and space control plus a strong assist. Some pro lists push him up to S.

Star-Lord
ContestedElement Gun chip and zoning with flight mobility — flexible but range-dependent. Sources span S to B.

Wolverine
ContestedBerserker Rage install fuels strong rushdown, but leans hard on close range and struggles at a distance.

Storm
ContestedHigh ceiling on ranged control, and CEO 2026 backed the ceiling up — she was on 28% of recorded teams there, more than most of our S tier. Still swings between sources.

Green Goblin
Moved up from B after CEO 2026: SonicFox won the game's first major on him, and he was the fifth-most-used fighter in the bracket. The payoff is slow, but it is clearly there at the top level.

Hulk
Data-limitedHeavy grappling damage up close, but large, slow and juggle-prone. Absent from the beta, so data is thin.
B Tier — Solid, situational, or high-ceiling-but-demanding fighters.

Ghost Rider
Fire and chain pressure at mid-range makes close-mid scrambles a nightmare. Niche, but it took BlueSkyGuyBSG to 5th at CEO 2026.

Danger
Needs specialization and the right team to shine; the sample data is still thin.

Captain America
Well-rounded and beginner-friendly, but lacks a top-tier ceiling.

Loki
Data-limitedTrickster mix-up potential is unproven — absent from the beta, small sample.

Carnage
Data-limitedBrand-new fighter, not in the beta; sources scatter across tiers. The least certain placement on the list.

Deadpool
Data-limitedSelf-harm mechanics with a very high execution bar and unknown payoff. Sources span C to A.
C Tier — Currently struggling — low reward or exploitable weaknesses.

Peni Parker
ContestedSlow, large and juggle-prone with low reward. Kept here despite Kayos taking 3rd at CEO 2026 on her — one strong run is a player result, not a fighter result.

Ms. Marvel
Pros unanimously call her the weakest — simple kit, low reward. CEO 2026 was the hard confirmation: she did not appear on a single recorded team.
Tournament check
What CEO 2026 changed
CEO 2026 was the game's first offline major, and the first evidence for this list that isn't launch-week theory. The top of our ranking held: Spider-Man, Blade and Magik were the three most-used fighters in the bracket, and Ms. Marvel — our lowest-ranked fighter — did not appear on a single recorded team. One placement was wrong: we had Green Goblin in B for slow payoff, and SonicFox won the whole thing on him, so he moves to A. We are deliberately not moving Doctor Doom down despite his 15.6% showing — assist-first fighters are under-counted by raw usage — and not moving Peni Parker up on the strength of a single player's run.

This list blends the current community consensus across seven English sources — Mobalytics, tokon.gg, ScreenRant, Power Up Gaming, Roonby, and pro-player beta lists from K7 Showoff and NerdJosh — using the majority placement for each fighter, and it is now weighted against what actually got played at CEO 2026. Where sources genuinely disagree, we put a fighter on the boundary between two tiers and flag it “Contested.” It is an editorial opinion, not an official ranking, and we revise it after majors and balance patches.
Fighters to treat as provisional
Carnage, Deadpool, Hulk and Loki were absent from the open beta (or are brand new), so their placement still rests on a thin sample. Peni Parker is flagged contested because one CEO top-3 run cuts against an otherwise unanimous bottom-tier read. Treat all of them as provisional — they are flagged “Data-limited” or “Contested” above.
