Marvel Tokon Tier List

Updated September 5, 2026

Week-five read: the three strongest post-CEO lists, SonicFox (the CEO 2026 champion), HookGangGod (the top online player) and Diaphone (who compared both and adjusted), agree on the top row and on the bottom of the cast. Still no win-rate data, and still no balance patch: every update since launch has been fixes and stability. What moved here is consensus, clearly labelled, and it will move again when the first balance pass lands.

S Warping the meta, and winning with it
Magik Magik The one name on every list, beta and launch alike. Disc mix-ups nobody consistently blocks. Black Panther Black Panther ArbiterSkyward's top pick and still in Bleed's top row: surgical punishes and pressure that creates its own openings. Blade Blade The clearest riser of week one. Every published launch list puts him top, and the beta usage counts had him leading assist picks while tying Magik overall. Honest fundamentals, an execute finisher, and corner loops once the whole team is up. Storm Storm K7 top-three, Bleed top row. Full-screen control with real burst; technical, but the payoff keeps showing. Spider-Man Spider-Man Best movement in the game; converts touches from angles others cannot take. On every one of the eight top-8 teams at CEO 2026, which no other fighter managed. Green Goblin Green Goblin Three promotions in three weeks and the last one is a trophy: SonicFox won CEO 2026 on him, LLon puts him in the top row, LordKnight just under the staples. The glider pressure was never fragile, the beta just had not learned it. Doctor Doom Doctor Doom Up from A. The most complete zoner in the game once the execution is paid for, and the post-CEO lists have stopped hedging: SonicFox's second row, S for HookGangGod and for Diaphone.
A Strong everywhere, beaten by S only at the edges
Star-Lord Star-Lord Back down from S. Two beta sources had him leading, but a week of live play did not sustain it and Bleed rates him well below the top. The freeform element zoning is still real; the ceiling claim was early. Carnage Carnage Terrifying offense with no plan B, but the offense is landing: Bleed has him a row above where the beta left him. Still feast or famine. Iron Man Iron Man K7 top-three. Air superiority zoning that many players still have not solved. Wolverine Wolverine Low-effort pressure with rage comebacks; wins games below top level on momentum alone. Captain America Captain America The consensus beginner pick that stays honest at every level. Magneto Magneto Down from S. The compounding control is real, but the lists that matter most now have him a row under the staples: SonicFox's third group, B and the word fraudulent from HookGangGod, and Diaphone only nudges him back up. SonicFox won CEO 2026 with him on the team, which is why this is A and not lower. Ghost Rider Ghost Rider Up from B. Scales into a nightmare late and the early round is still the tax, but SonicFox groups him with Green Goblin and Iron Man, a row under the staples.
B Real wins, real weaknesses
Loki Loki Up from C for the same reason - he skipped the open beta entirely, so the low placement was missing evidence rather than a weak read. The illusion setups are landing. Deadpool Deadpool The chaos is genuine but hedged Deadpool loses to disciplined play.
C Below the pack, above the floor
Hulk Hulk Down from B. The armor reads held up in week one; a month in, HookGangGod files him with the fighters who have to work harder than the rest of the cast, and no top list disagrees. Peni Parker Peni Parker Down from B. Board control wins hard when placed, but SonicFox names her among the weakest and HookGangGod agrees: against pressure that has learned to keep moving, the board never gets placed. Danger Danger Up from D. Still one of the three hardest fighters by the game's own difficulty ratings, and the CEO bracket barely used him, but HookGangGod and Diaphone both keep him a full tier above the Champion. Ms. Marvel Ms. Marvel Up from D. Approachable reach and grabs with the surprises long gone; SonicFox and HookGangGod both rate her near the bottom, and neither puts her under the Champion.
D Alone at the bottom on every list
The Champion The Champion The secret 21st fighter, unlocked by finishing any one Episode Mode story. Every post-CEO list leaves him alone at the bottom: enormous damage and reach, no answer to being played correctly. A boss kit handed to players is not the same as a strong one.
Changelog & sources
  • Sep 5, v6: three post-CEO pro lists compared (SonicFox Aug 23, HookGangGod Aug 26, Diaphone Sep 2). Doctor Doom to S: SonicFox's second row, S for HookGangGod and Diaphone. Magneto to A: SonicFox has him a row under the staples and HookGangGod files him B and calls him fraudulent; SonicFox still won CEO with him on the team. Ghost Rider to A on SonicFox's third row. New C tier for the fighters every list rates below the pack but above the Champion: Hulk and Peni Parker down from B, Danger and Ms. Marvel up from D. The Champion stays alone at the bottom on every list. No balance patch yet.
  • Aug 23, v5: first read with a real bracket behind it. CEO 2026 (Aug 14 to 16, 1,054 entrants) was won by SonicFox on Green Goblin, Spider-Man, Magneto and Blade, and Spider-Man was on every one of the eight top-8 teams. Green Goblin to S: he won the event, LLon's Aug 17 list has him in the top row, and LordKnight's Aug 15 list sits him just under the staples; three promotions in three weeks says the beta read was simply wrong. Danger to D: he barely appeared in the top 64 and LLon names him with Ms. Marvel and The Champion as the three weakest, so the under-explored label no longer holds. That empties C, and we are not keeping a tier just to have one. Not moved: Ghost Rider (LLon has him S, nobody else does, and CEO did not show it - watching), Hulk (near-zero CEO usage cuts against his B, but one outlet makes a real case for him as the best Leader pick, so he keeps the benefit of the doubt one more round). The Aug 21 patch was bug fixes only, nothing here is a reaction to balance.
  • Aug 14, v4: first pass built on live play instead of beta play. Blade to S (every published list has him there, and he led beta assist usage while tying Magik on picks); Magneto to S and Green Goblin to A on Bleed's day-three tournament read, which agrees with NerdJosh; Carnage to A on the same list. Star-Lord back to A - Bleed rates him well below our S row, and one week of real reps did not back the promotion. Hulk and Loki up to B: both were parked in C only because the open beta locked them out, and that reason has expired. Ms. Marvel to D, joined by The Champion, whom Bleed names as the two weakest. The Champion is new to this list: he is the secret 21st fighter, unlocked by finishing any Episode Mode story, and he had been missing entirely.
  • Aug 7, v3: Star-Lord up to S; a third source (tokon.gg) now has him leading alongside our S row, one day after NerdJosh. Also: the game published official per-fighter difficulty ratings; they confirm Danger, Green Goblin, and Ghost Rider as the hardest fighters, and we have folded that into their profiles.
  • Aug 6, v2: Star-Lord up to A and Green Goblin up to B on NerdJosh's late-beta list (he had both top-eight; our C-tier notes called both underrated). Day one patch is live; watching for balance shifts.
  • Aug 6, v1: launch list assembled from open-beta pro tiers (K7 Showoff, ArbiterSkyward) plus our beta reads.
