Best heroes in Marvel Contest of Champions, Ranked
This tier list represents the current Marvel Contest of Champions preferences, which are constantly changing according to updates. Due to the huge number of characters, I divided this tier list into multiple sections based on the characters' origins. Therefore, we have Science, Cosmic, Mutant, Skill, Mystic, and Tech Tier Lists of Heroes. Marvel is still going strong with its video games, including Marvel Rivals, an Overwatch-inspired shooter game.
Marvel Contest of Champions Science tier list
| Tier | Heroes |
|---|---|
| S | Guillotine (Deathless), Human Torch, Quake, Silk, Thing |

Science Heroes get their powers through some sort of science experiment. This could be a robotic augmentation or an experimental product, like a super serum. The Hulk and Captain America are good examples of Science characters.

These Heroes have one thing in common: They're not from Earth, or at least their powers aren't. Very often, they are godlike entities with cosmic-level abilities. Notable examples include Thanos, Eternals, Thor, Adam Warlock, and Hercules.

This one is pretty easy to guess: Tech Heroes use technology to increase their fighting chance against powerful enemies. It could be cyber augmentation or an exoskeleton suit, as long as some kind of technology is involved. Iron Man is the most famous Tech Hero, followed by Ultron, Nebula, Penny Parker, and many others.
