S-Tier characters in Marvel Rivals are the characters that dominate play with their powerful kits and great synergy. Some of these characters, like Spider-Man, have a high skill floor to use effectively, but once you've learned how to use them well, you'll have a great chance of leading your team to victory.

Due to datamining of in-game files, many leakers have found references to various upcoming Marvel Rival characters that are seemingly being worked on. Obviously, with all of these, it’s mostly speculation based on information found in the files. However, it’s clear Netease has plans for these characters, as work on them appears ongoing.

There are 33 different characters in Marvel Rivals, but not every hero (or villain) is equal. In the competitive shooter’s season 0, which is called Doom’s Rise and is significantly shorter than a regular season, every character is viable but there are some who are obviously more powerful than the rest.
