The problem with characters like that is that it would be difficult to make them playable characters that capture anything remotely resembling what they are like in the comic books. People went berserk when Sentinel didn't live up to his exploding suns description: Shuma Gorath makes Sentinel look like Willie Lumpkin. He could make an interesting NPC boss, but I don't think he'd make a good playable character. That would be like trying to make Eternity a playable character.
You mean Sentry?
While true, I think Marvel vs. Capcom was able to integrate Shuma Gorath pretty well. That's another game where the power levels don't make a ton of sense if you think too much about the lore. Phoenix vs. Chris Redfield from Resident Evil? Riiiiiiight.
Karnak and Black Panther (Civil War) both have a base armor rating of zero.
Enchantress
Capitain Britain (earlier version at least)
Malekith the Accursed (Thor 2 villain)
Morbius
Dracula
Blackheart
Robbie Reyes Ghost Rider
A case could be made for Azazel
T’CHALLA KING OF THE DEAD!
Ymir and Surtur (size like Sentinel probably)
Sister Grimm (runaways)
And I kid you not. THE WRECKER!
We also have Davos aka Steel Serpent/Phoenix or simply Davos. Plus the other immortal weapons like Fat Corba
There are interesting magical users in Marvel they’re just not up front. Like there’s arguments for the Destroyer Armor even
Another good dual class Mystic would be Spiral. She is definitely Tech and Mystic. She was a major character in the 90's when I collected comics...though less so now. She was even Sorceror supreme for a little while (took over for Dr. Strange when he was trapped in a parallel universe or something like that) I've always loved her character, plus her visuals within the game would be really cool with her 6 arms and Teleport ability (think Nightcrawler, lots of blades with spells like SW, ). According to her Wiki, she should be able to Teleport, Stun, Nullify, and put herself out of phase with reality to avoid damage, She would also be immune to mind-control (Emma) and be skilled with multiple blades in her 6 arms.
From the WIKI:
Spiral has powerful mystical abilities. When Spiral was first introduced, she was a powerful sorceress and during her first two encounters with the X-Men, singlehandedly defeated the team. She can cast spells to stun, depower, or immobilize her superhuman opponents, as she did to depower and imprison the Avengers and West Coast Avengers once they were laying still long enough for the spells to catch them. In New Avengers #53, she was revealed by the Eye of Agamotto as one of several magic-users with the potential to be the next Sorcerer Supreme after Doctor Strange.
Spiral can open gateways between dimensions and travel through time, although it has been implied that she sometimes requires Mojo's help to successfully teleport from one dimension to another. At other times, she has independently traversed dimensions and centuries of time, and set herself slightly out of phase with the timestream so as to avoid blows.
Spiral's mind is apparently immune to possession. When Rogue attempted to use her power-and-psyche-stealing ability to steal Spiral's mind and powers, Spiral stole Rogue's instead, laughing that she had danced in many people's souls.
Spiral is a highly skilled hand-to-hand combatant, acrobat, and sword fighter. Her six arms are fully coordinated, giving her great dexterity and athletic ability.[volume & issue needed] Spiral demonstrated highly developed skills in cybernetics and genetic manipulation which she has used to turn humans into powerful cyborgs at her Body Shoppe

Pthhthhh. I had Sentinel on the brain when I typed that, in the middle of testing some things. Edit twice, post once.
Fair enough.
Karnak sort of make sense, since he is similar to Iron Fist in many ways.
BPCW having 0% base armor is kind of lolwut?!, given that he is tagged as "Defensive: Guard", but oh well.
Squatch's powers are gamma radiation based, so he would be science.
Also Ghost Rider (Robbie Reyes)
A mystic RAW damage champ, a true life stealer, a more offensive based GR, and the ENCHANTRESS need to be in the game.
Heck I’ll even settle for the Destroyer and Uru Armor Iron Man (yes that’s a thing, a spiky, wonderful thing)
Morlun, the most powerful Spider-Man villain
Agreed! But I don’t know who has the rights? Like transformers and GI joe, I think marvel licensed the comic rights?
I'm going off Immortal Hulk last week in which Hulk drains the gamma radiation out of Langkowski and depowers him. So, I think that's more correct than the wiki.
Marvel has the rights to a load of the supporting characters, they created. Rom himself was licensed and I think is now at IDW like Transformers, GI Joe, Action Man and most of Hasbro's other toy-lines.
I would love to see Namor. I've done a character design in the wishlist. However, he isn't mystic. He is - quite categorically - Marvel's First Mutant.
Just had a thought: Bushmaster - from Luke Cage season 2 - would be a mystic.
Kraven (super strength and durability from mystic potions, as well as super senses)
White Tiger
Shang Chi (can manipulate chi to regenerate)
Colleen Wing (can manipulate chi to heal, resist temperature extremes, burn out poisons)
Puma
Tigra
Captain Britain
Black Knight
Nico Minoru
Shaman of Alpha Flight
Wiccan
Davos
Fat Cobra
and super-obscure never happening: Dark Angel from Marvel UK and White Fox
Maybe He-Man
Morbius = science as he was a vampire created by a genetic experiment gone wrong.
Enchantress would probably end up being a mix between Loki, SW and DS. Might be interesting.
Steel Serpent? No, buff IF first.
Surtur? No, I hate the Sentinel zoom-out in fights, and that's enough for me.
Malekith, though cool, is passé.
Blackheart: YES!!!
Azazel: Who cares about a minor character from a franchise that still has so much that should be added first? Not me!
Rest I don't know too well, so reserving judgment there.
