Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls Roster – Every Character Revealed (So Far)

[[{“value”:”

The Marvel Comics fandom has enjoyed several great games over the years, but at long last, Arc System Works is stepping into the ring to deliver a brand-new fighting game experience in Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls. There’s some interesting stuff that Arc System Works is doing to make this game stand out–like adopting a 4v4 team format for matches and offering simplified controls–but at the end of the day, it’s the roster that’ll serve as the main draw for a project like this. Fortunately, the studio has a rich library of characters to draw upon, and it’s also looking to put its spin on fan-favorite heroes and villains like Captain America, Spider-Man, and Doctor Doom.

“There are so many amazing Marvel characters that it was quite a struggle to choose our roster, but we did have some criteria for the selection process,” producer Takeshi Yamanaka said in a PS Blog post. “First and foremost, we wanted to include characters who we feel to be the ‘face’ of Marvel. At the same time, we also needed to select characters that would give us a balance of battle types and styles. Lastly, we wanted to sprinkle in a few surprises and leave room for characters who have never been playable in a fighting game before.”

Naturally, characters like Captain America and Iron Man were a lock, but there are also a few surprises so far in the form of Ms. Marvel and Robbie Reyes, the Ghost Rider. At the time of writing, Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls has eight confirmed characters, and we’re expecting the roster to grow as launch approaches and with DLC additions to the cast.

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen a Marvel fighting game–although we’d really like to forget Marvel: Rise of the Imperfects–but Arc System Works has built a name for itself in this genre with its work on franchises like Guilty Gear, Blazblue, and various licensed brawlers. If this isn’t enough Marvel content for you, you can also check out our feature on every upcoming superhero game, as Blade, Iron Man, and other mystery projects are currently in development.

Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls launches for PC, PS5, and PS4 on August 6, 2026.

Captain America

The First Avenger is an all-rounder, able to trip enemies up with shield attacks, deliver anti-air counters, and quickly close the distance to deliver a supersoldier beatdown.

Iron Man

A billionaire-philanthropist-genius, Iron Man’s armor is equipped to excel at the mid-range, and he can follow up projectile attacks with some ground-and-pound offense.

Ms. Marvel

A close-quarters brawler, Ms. Marvel uses her stretchy powers to bring enemies closer to her so that she can wallop them.

Spider-Man

The Amazing Spider-Man does whatever a spider can, including using his webs to zip around the battlefield so that he can unleash unpredictable attacks.

Star Lord

Who? Oh right, Star Lord! Peter Quill is a gunslinger capable of trick-shots with his Element Guns, and his Unique ability, Element Blast, gains different properties depending on the element currently equipped.

Storm

Anyone looking to mix it up with a highly technical character will want to select Storm. The mutant mistress of weather can wield the forces of nature, giving her several options when dealing with foes.

Ghost Rider

Chains and hellfire allow Ghost Rider to be a long-range specialist, and as his unique Vengeance Gauge builds up, his skills begin to deal even more damage.

Danger

Another technical character who is tricky to master, Danger is all about finding the right option at the right time to take down opponents. Her Unique skill, Calibrate, allows her to quickly adapt to opponents and she’s a menace when she’s airborne.

Magik

Wielding the Soulsword and the magic of Limbo, Magik can also attack from all sides using her portal powers. She can even open a gateway to send projectiles back at the caster, making her deadly from any range.

Wolverine

The ultimate rushdown brawler, Wolverine charges through enemy attacks and uses his adamantium claws to deal heavy damage. Once his Berserker Rage is charged, he becomes a ferocious adversary.

Peni Parker

The interdimensional gadget whiz Peni Parker will be joining Spider-Man’s team, alongside hotshot rookie hero Ms. Marvel and the space pirate Star-Lord. Like her previous appearances in comic books and in the Spider-Verse films, Peni pilots SP//dr, a powerful mech suit created by her father.

The Promoter

Every fight needs someone to drive the hype, and that’s where the Promoter enters the scene. An Elder of the Universe–a mysterious race of alien beings who have existed since the dawn of reality–the Promoter is pulling strings in the background, as she invited heroes to battle in a high-stakes tournament to determine the fate of the planet.

Hulk

The Gamma-irradiated powerhouse of the Avengers, Hulk’s moveset revolves around channeling his anger to increase his strength and speed. Once his Gamma Gauge reaches its maximum level, Hulk can dish out devastating attacks using his raw power.

Black Panther (Shuri)

The current ruler of Wakanda, Shuri has taken up the mantle of the Black Panther. Her character combines speed and acrobatics with a wild offense, and her high-speed mobility skill, Bast’s Blessing, allows her to dash in multiple directions.

Dr. Doom

A genius scientist and sorcerer, Dr. Doom excels at mid-to-far range attacks thanks to various projectile attacks. Anyone looking to close the distance will have to watch out for Doom’s unique ability to nullify projectile attacks, and he can also teleport himself around the battlefield.

Magneto

The Mutant Master of Magnetism, Magento transforms the battlefield around him, hurling objects at players. Whenever these objects connect and create debris, Magneto can manipulate them further to enhance his already formidable powers.

Green Goblin

Spider-Man’s greatest villain is as obsessed as ever with defeating the webhead, and in Marvel Tokon, he can move at high speeds thanks to his signature glider. The Green Goblin is also equipped with an arsenal of weapons, including Razor Bats and Pumpkin Bombs that make him perfect for players who like to disrupt their opponents.

Carnage

Rounding out the Knights of Doom is the homicidal Carnage. After serial killer Cletus Cassidy was bonded with a symbiote, Carnage was born, and Spider-Man had to face off against a ruthless monster. In battle, Carnage can use his symbiote tendrils to unleash attacks, form parts of his body into bladed weapons, and infect opponents with life-draining attacks.

The Champion

Mr. Main Event himself, The Champion of the Universe is a god-like being who has spent billions of years searching for the ultimate fight. Joined by his sidekick, The Promoter, The Champion is an elegant brawler waiting for his tournament to produce the ultimate challenge.
