All characters in Marvel Rivals

All characters in Marvel Rivals fit into one of three roles: vanguards (tanks), duelists (damage), and strategists (support). While all characters can help out their allies or deal damage, these three roles help you differentiate the heroes and diversify team comps. In addition to a new battle pass and skins, season 1 added two new characters to the game (a duelist and strategist), bringing the total current roster to 35 characters. Later in the season, according to the Marvel Rivals roadmap, two more (a duelist and vanguard) will join. In this Marvel Rivals guide, we’ll walk you through all characters in Marvel Rivals, broken up by role, detailing the game’s full roster. And if you’re looking for the best characters, see our Marvel Rivals tier list.
