All 20 Launch Fighters By Team
The official Steam product page confirms a standard launch roster of 20 characters. A retained Tokon.gg roster reference documents those fighters in five default teams of four, while IGN separately corroborates the 20 names but not the complete team matrix.
| Default team | Four launch fighters |
|---|---|
| Unbreakable X-Men | Storm, Magik, Wolverine, Danger |
| Amazing Guardians | Spider-Man, Ms. Marvel, Star-Lord, Peni Parker |
| Fighting Avengers | Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, Black Panther |
| Knights of Doom | Doctor Doom, Magneto, Green Goblin, Carnage |
| Samurai Outriders | Ghost Rider, Blade, Loki, Deadpool |
Published fighter guides are available for Storm, Magik, and Spider-Man. Every other launch fighter remains plain text because this wiki does not currently publish a guide for them.
How Default Teams Work
The table records the documented base-roster grouping: five named teams, each containing four launch fighters. The exact grouping remains supported by one retained third-party roster source. The checked official Steam page establishes the launch count, and IGN provides an independent list of the same 20 names, but neither checked source fully enumerates the five-team matrix.
No additional gameplay meaning should be inferred from these names or memberships. The documented grouping does not, by itself, establish bonuses, required compositions, character locks, recommended pairings, canonical synergy, or any other mechanical effect. For practical composition decisions, use Team Building; for beginner selection and guide discovery, use the Characters hub.
Is Champion Playable?
Champion is not part of the standard 20-fighter launch roster. PlayStation's official article describes Champion as the opponent that qualifying teams earn the right to face. A retained IGN roster page instead places Champion under a Secret Character heading and describes solo play.
Because those sources frame Champion differently, the conservative conclusion is that the checked official evidence does not confirm Champion as player-selectable. This page therefore does not call Champion playable, unlockable, selectable, or a member of a default team. A newer official statement would be required to resolve that status.
Year 1 Characters And Stage
Status verified August 24, 2026: the Steam Year 1 Characters and Stage Pass lists four post-launch characters and one stage. PlayStation has officially announced Phoenix Cyclops as the first additional Year 1 character, so Phoenix Cyclops is not included in the launch 20 above.
The other three Year 1 character names and the stage name remain unconfirmed in the official sources checked for this page. The Steam listing still uses unnamed entries for those slots, and the Phoenix Cyclops announcement does not identify them. They remain unnamed here rather than being filled with speculation, leaks, or inferred candidates.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many launch characters are in MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls?
There are 20 standard launch fighters. Champion and Year 1 additions are outside that count.
Who are all 20 launch fighters and what are the five default teams?
The table above lists every fighter under Unbreakable X-Men, Amazing Guardians, Fighting Avengers, Knights of Doom, and Samurai Outriders. The exact grouping is retained third-party roster evidence.
Is Champion playable or part of the standard launch roster?
Champion is outside the standard launch 20. The checked official article presents Champion as an opponent, while IGN uses a conflicting Secret Character treatment, so selectable status is not confirmed here.
Is Phoenix Cyclops one of the launch characters?
No. Phoenix Cyclops is the first officially announced additional Year 1 character, not a member of the 20-fighter launch roster.
Which Year 1 characters and stage are confirmed as of August 24, 2026?
Phoenix Cyclops is the only named Year 1 addition in the checked official sources. Three character slots and one stage are included in the pass but remain unnamed.
