Which variant to try?

I've just finished Act 5 ( not explored yet) and I'm looking for some other content to try out. I've never done variant other than a quick try then bailed out. But I've got a decent roster and I'm keen to have a good crack at it. Which variant would you recommend I start out on? I'll try and put up screenshots of my champs

Make no mistake - it's still a difficult piece of content and it can be really frustrating. Especially the last chapter. However, I really enjoyed being able to use my entire roster for a piece of content for once. It's quite rare.
As for the other Variants, I'll just leave you with some general advice to allow you to check if you have decent champs to tackle them. I'll focus on the last three since they have the best rewards.
Blood and Venom: Mystic champions, Spider-Heroes, Symbiotes.
Contamination: Villains of any classes.
Arachnid Action: Heroes of different classes.
I would focus on ranking up Venom (or seeing if you're able to tackle the Variants with him as-is) since he's useful for a bunch of different Variants. He's an XL champ, so he'll work in the Micro-Realms one; he's a Symbiote, so he works in Blood and Venom; and lastly, he's a Villain, so he's among the absolute best for Contamination.
Red Magneto is also a Villain who is really good for at least certain paths in Contamination, so that could maybe be a good starting point. It's also one of those "best rewards yet" Variants, which is a plus.
Hope this helps! I love Variant content, it's so much fun and allows you to build your roster so much from all of the resources you gain from them.
So, I think you should just go get Cavalier first.
Also Venom the Duck Dominates V2 (for me he also cheesed V4 Chapter One Bosses as well V5 and V6), and you've got Mephisto which is One of like Three Coldsnap Immune Options in Two or Three of the Restrictive Variants.
