I’m not going to waste precious characters on an intro, we’ve got 64 of these bad boys to get through. However, I will thank @SlayerOfGods for his system italics for quest names. Also, no quest dates because they’ll just take up space. If you want, ask and I’ll put them below. Anyway, Number 1:
The first ever event quest in MCOC, Ultron’s Assault. This introduced the titular Ultron as a tie-in to the second Avengers film. This was turned into the uber-hard and super annoying Variant 1.
The second event quest, also known as Variant 2, is Mystery in the Microrealms. This was also a movie tie-in, this time to Ant-Man. Introduced were Ant-Man and Yellowjacket, along with a special arena that gave pym canisters.
After that, we saw what is as of right now the easiest variant, Waning Moon. This gave the contest new exciting heroes like Symbiote Spider-Man, Moon Knight, and Deadpool X-Force.
The next month saw the release of the official Marvel Contest of Champions comic book, featuring multiple characters that aren’t in the game, including Outlaw, the British Punisher. One character who did appear in the comic was the MCOC original character Guillotine, who then was introduced into the game via Blood and Venom which also gave us Venom.
With the arrival of season 1 of Jessica Jones, we saw yet another tie-in event quest. Contamination gave us Daredevil Netflix, Luke Cage, and the still unplayable Jessica Jones.
Rocket and Groot’s Holiday Special was the following event, and it brought with it the best champion in the game, Groot. This was meant as a look back on the events that happened in MCOC that year, so the first chapter had six quests.
2016 kicked off with a bang as Miles Morales was introduced into the contest in Arachnid Action. Also introduced this month was the first boss of this event, Blue Cyclops!
2016’s first tie-in was to Deadpool, so what better way to celebrate than well, Deadpool? Deadpoolooza gave us Deadpool running the contest for a day and creating Venompool. It also gave us Old Man Logan.
The milestone tenth event quest in MCOC history was Kamala’s First Day which introduced both the titular Kamala and She Hulk, and started teasing Agent Venom.
The next month brought with Cosmic Civil War, a tie-in with the third Captain America film, as well as the first part of the Cosmic Civil War storyline. There was also a side event which was different based on pro or anti legislation, but the main focus was on the event quest and it’s new champs BPCW, Falcon, and Crossbones.
The second part of the Cosmic Civil War storyline, Cosmic Civil War: Endgame was the next quest to be released. With it came the introduction of Civil Warrior into the contest of champions.
With the release of X-Men Apocalypse came X-Men: Terrigenocide the first of three event quests in the Terrigenocide storyline. It gave us Beast, Phoenix, Nightcrawler, and a Weapon X boss, though he wasn’t playable till after Act 6 legends runs.
The third and final part to the Terrigenocide storyline, Terrigenocide: Terminus, gave the Contest an interesting batch of champions: the unplayable-as-of-now Dark Phoenix, Phoenix herself, and Quake, Destroyer Of Worlds!
November of 2016 saw the release of Doctor Strange, and with it, a tie-in event quest, this one being Sorcerer’s Conclave. It gave us Mordo (of course) and one of the top mystics, Doctor Voodoo.
The month after November is of course, December, which means holiday event quest! This time, it was Howard and Hyperion’s Holiday Hijinks. (Say that ten times fast) It brought to the contest Howard the Duck and Hyperion. (surprise surprise)
2017 started out by giving the contest Gwenpool and Cable in the event quest Gwenpool: Agent of C.A.B.L.E.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sWf3Q1E2xE February brought Dormammu and Hood into the fold with Dawn of Darkness. Fun fact, the chapter titles for this quest are spelt backwards.
Our next tie-in, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. Zero, introduced Nebula and Yondu to the contest and was a nice tie-in to a nice film. It also had lots of song references, including Smooth Kree-minal and Blue Collar Man.
Inhumans season 1, for all it’s faults, gave us one of the best cosmics in the game (Medusa) along with Kingpin in the tie-in side quest Have You Seen This Dog? Speaking of which, when can we play as the dog? Asking for a friend.
While it finally let us play as M.O.D.O.K. and also introduced Taskmaster, Hotel M.O.D.O.K. has the unfortunate distinction of being the first December event quest to not have a holiday theme.
February saw the release of Black Panther, and with it, the tie-in event quest. Rise of the Black Panther saw the introductions of Killmonger and Gladiator Hulk to the contest.
Here we go, Part 1 of the Avengers Infinity War tie-ins. Infinity Chaos was the first of two Infinity War themed quests and arrived alongside Corvus Glaive and his wife Proxima Midnight.
Part 2 of the Infinity War stuff, Infinity Nightmare, brought with it Captain America (Infinity War) and Iron Man (Infinity War). And a Thanos boss fight that looks like terrible fun
To celebrate the first ten years of Marvel Stud10s (see what I did there), Enter the Cabal arrived three new Marvel Studios characters: Korg, Heimdall, and Red Skull.
October gave us the Venom movie and it’s tie-in of sorts, Blood and Venom: Symbiomancer. Arriving with this quest were Venom the Duck and Symbiote Supreme, along with limited time fan favorite Summoned Symbioid.
The first tie-in of 2019 was for Captain Marvel, and it was Battlerealm: Under Siege. The update also brought along Captain Marvel Movie and Nick Fury.
Phantasmagoria, (another fun word) released alongside Spider-Man: Far From Home, introduced Mysterio and Stealth Suit Spider-Man to the contest. What else happened this month? Yours truly started playing the game.
The New Mutants was going to be released in August of last year, and the film was also supposed to have Warlock. Neither of those happened, but at least we got Sunspot and Warlock in the tie-in event X-Machina.
September of 2019 marked the 80 year anniversary of Marvel. To celebrate, Kabam went waaayyyy back and introduced Vision Aarkus and Claire Voyant in Amazing Fantasy.
The tie-in to the should’ve-been-released-by-now Black Widow, Black Widow: Red by Dawn came along with Black Widow (Deadly Origin) and Red Guardian. Really makes one wish for a MCU film, doesn’t it.
The penultimate event quest of this list, Missing Links, was a celebration of Canada, with narration by Deadpool himself. The new champs were also Canadian, those two being the Alpha Flight heroes of Guardian and Sasquatch.
And just like that, it’s over. This was a lot of work, so i really hope you enjoyed and liked this insight into MCOC. Gotta go drink some unbranded grape juice and sob over the fact Agents of SHIELD is ending.
Much love, SpideyFunko
Mystery Link of the Day: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hk-II27GApo
The 65th event quest, Rise of X, saw this month saw the introduction of Charles Xavier and Apocalypse into the mutant ranks of the contest, along with a new Cavalier Difficulty. Fun fact, the side event this month also included a bug that allowed players to farm unfarmable resources, and resulted in many players being banned.
Cosmic Ghost Rider and Red Goblin entered the contest in event quest 66, Recursion. Every chapter was also titled Recursion, and you fought Norman Osborne 3 times.
The Immortal Hulk was event quest 67, and with it came Immortal Hulk and Abomination. Also featured as an eq boss in certain difficulties was the one and only Maestro.
With the end of 2020 came Spider-Ham and event quest 68, Spider-Ham: Framed by Fame This month also featured the return of champion challenges and the side event offered Cav crystals.

Normal purple grape juice?
Or
Apple-Grape/White Grape?
The last one was released in January

There are still a few missing though.
