Who’s your champion that you like in game but not in character?

For me, it’s onslaught. One of the best champions in Mcoc and fun to play but I just don’t enjoy his character much. I don’t like mind-control mutants that much and he just seems like a cooler version of magneto ( which I don’t like all that much). And I value character and powers, and origins a lot so I’m not taking him really high right now. Who’s your champion?

Zemo. Pretty fun gameplay wise but I hate the character due to him being a ****. Same with Red Skull

What how can u dislike Onslaught?

I’m just not a big fan of the character based on what I know about him. He’s cool in game though

Ourobøros

Nimrod because of obvious reasons

Nightheart

Kindred because it's not a Kindred spirit but an ugly creature born out of nightmares

In my childhood I'm not a big marvel fan, seen few avengers movie that's it.

So one of my cousin who I don't like, loves Captain America. I prefer thor over cap. So we used to fight over who is better and all. So I hated Cap for a long time just cuz My cousin loves him.

Well eventually when I seen all of the avengers movie, I actually started to love cap and he became one of my favourite marvel characters.

Currently I hate all villain anti mutant robots (sentinel, karima and nimrod), and I don't like certain characters in certain films - like sabertooth in that wolverine backstory film. And magik in new mutants.

I'm surprised by your answer @AcidBurn404 because onslaught is one of the coolest mutants as he is formed with xavier and magneto, both are Fan favourite mutants. I would like to see onslaught on movies, it would be so cool.

But hey, anyways people have preferences.

Do I understand you correctly, that you're asking which champion I enjoy using in the game but don't care for in the comics/movies etc?

If that's the case, probably Adam Warlock. I just never understood the hype around him prior to him coming to the game. I didn't care much for him in Guardians 3 and I've never read any comics with him in them so he was pretty much just a non-entity for me. I'd heard the name a lot but didn't care about him personally.

Love him in the game, though. Super fun.

I don’t think I have any

Hang on, Red Skull.

I know Onslaught is a popular character, but I wasn't a fan at the time because to me, Onslaught was one of those characters designed to be kewl on the surface but was completely illogical. Comic book writers often say or do things they think are cool, without considering the ramifications of what they are doing because hey, its just a comic book. So when they say that Magneto can control the hemoglobin in people's blood, it just sounds cool but that's total nonsense. If he can do that, he can control every other molecule everywhere, because hemoglobin is not magnetic. It is easier to magnetically control water. Or Sentry's "a million exploding suns" thing, which is also word salad (what does it mean for the Sun to explode? It is technically exploding now).

Literally every aspect of Onslaught seemed to me to be literally made up on the spot to sound reasonable to anyone who did not speak English and was just playing Scrabble with the words.

Nowadays I can appreciate that taken out of context he's a cool character concept, but anything having to do with actually writing stories involving him tend to be completely nonsensical, even by comic book standards.

Worse than that, there are some characters I won't use, even if they are the new herc....

Pretty much all of the Disney marvel, phase rubbish, characters.

Marvel movie, cap Sam, photon, Cassie, capiw, Valkyrie, zemo, America.

But they don't annoy me as much as the disservice done to Sentry, OG Thor, Thor rags (skill!?! and those animations..), Cyclops, rogue, meph, OG Spidey, green goblin, rhino , psylocke and so many others are useless despite being marquee names.

Champions that I want to play, but can't because they are rubbish or superseded by much better options!

I'm just grateful that mags, hulk, shulk, OG BP, storm, wolverine, apoc, blade, bishop, buster, ice man, Ultron, venom, switch and a raft of others are good, or at least useful.

Totally agree. But I love him ingame so much!!

DSauce456

I’m a big fan of hulk. I even have a signed autograph of Lou Ferrigno but even after his buff I feel like they still did hulk wrong

He’s one of the best and most hard hitting science champions in the game?

ok so its Doctor Doom, he's broken ingame but really selfish in as per the origins

This is just my first imppresion. Might change later but i'm just not a big fan of most mutants in general.

Apart from selfish, he is one of the most arrogant marvel villains. I generally hate characters who are rude and arrogant

Bro don't quote my immortal abomination lol he's just a innocent guy that's cute as a marshmellow. Also, onslaught is extremely arrongant and selfish trying to take over the whole battlerealm ( lol

Lol no, I'm talkin bout doom(check OP spoiler).
Ibom is indeed cute🥰

AcidBurn404

But yeah Onslaught isn't that boring. Some of you misunderstood me, i'm not critizising onslaught, just that i'm not a big fan of him. Baron zemo was also not my favourite when he came out but now i'm R5 and ascending him. Stuff changes over time.

Literally every character you listed as luckily being good has been buffed, so they're very clearly getting round to buffing the older champs

Actually, there's a logic behind Thor Ragnarok being skill. Thor Rag was released into the game in November 2017, just a month after Thor Ragnarok the movie was released in theaters. That means that champion had to be conceptualized, designed, approved by Marvel itself and mostly implemented way before the movie itself came out. So Kabam designed that character with only limited input and information from Marvel. Kabam has stated in the past they are not given loads of sneak peek confidential information on upcoming Marvel movies. They probably had concept art and some plot points about the movie to go on , and that's it.

In the movie, one of the major plot points is that Thor loses Mjolnir and with it much of his power - or so he thinks. It is a major plot point that Thor confesses to the visage of Odin that without Mjolnir he is mostly powerless against Hela.

So, sight unseen of the movie itself, it would be reasonable to believe that the character of Thor in the movie Ragnarok was a significantly depowered version of Thor trying to survive on his fighting skills in a gladiatorial setting. And even knowing how the movie goes, that's not a totally bonkers notion.

It takes a bit of artistic license to get there, but its not a crazy place it goes. And remember: Marvel approved that.

Reminds me of when they added Mysterio, and for a brief period of time he was tagged a #hero in MCOC, to fit with the marketing of Far From Home.

Vegeta9001

Nimrod because of obvious reasons

I remember rewatching the X-Men cartoons and thinking who tf is this guy, that ain't Nimrod. But apparently it was.

Sundance_2099

I only use the heroic characters and like using them, so I don't really have a valid answer here. I hate Howard the suck though. I don't use him if I can help it. I just hate the fact a stupid Donald Duck parody got put in the game, but I hate Venom the suck even more for combining two things I already despise: Howard and frickin' symbiotes outside of OG Venom and Carnage. I hate $hit-Monkey because he's just a stupid joke character who never should've been added. I really wish Hellcat had been added that month instead.

I also despise Professor X, but that's cuz I hate the whole Krakoan Age story line wherein the X-Men throw out their whole MO of saving the world that hates and fears them and battling for integration and acceptance to run an apartheid state with multiple/mass murdering psychos getting a free pass.

Plus, there's the whole resurrection thing which just destroys any dramatic tension as well as being something I've hated since 2012 when my Dad passed.

Wicket329

Love the ridiculous amount of control he exerts over every fight. That utility is insanely versatile.

Hate the explicitly fascist, death penalty happy, judge/jury/executioner character.

cur53d

Definitely Scarlet Witch. Super fun to play in the game, especially with QS synergy. But really despised her in the comics, primarily for those three words, "No more mutants".
