Top 10 Best Marvel: Ultimate Alliance Characters

Marvel: Ultimate Alliance presents a smorgasbord of superheroes and villains, each with their unique skillsets and powers, all at your disposal. Now, that's a situation that could give anyone a touch of choice paralysis. How do you answer the question of who are the best playable characters in Marvel: Ultimate Alliance?

That question is more layered than it might seem. The best for what? Are we talking raw damage output, or crowd control? Or maybe you're seeking the best healer, or the most reliable character for executing those satisfying combos. Perhaps you're simply looking for the character with the coolest powers, or the one who's personality really shines through in the game's dialogue and cutscenes.

And so, it comes down to this: Which characters do you believe are the champions in this grand Marvel Universe assembly? Your favorites might be the same as someone else's, or they might be wildly different - and that's the beauty of it all. It's not just about picking the "best" characters statistically, it's about selecting the ones that resonate with you, the ones that add an extra layer of enjoyment and excitement to your gaming experience.

To help you decide, consider the characters' abilities in the game, their backstories in the Marvel Universe, and how they mesh with your playstyle. Are you a fan of close-quarter brawlers, or do you prefer raining down havoc from a distance? Do you prefer to tear through your foes with brute strength, or would you rather use tactical and strategic characters who can control the battlefield and support their allies?
The Top Ten
1 Spider-Man Spider-Man is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics existing in its shared universe. The character was created by writer-editor Stan Lee and writer-artist Steve Ditko, and first appeared in the anthology comic book Amazing Fantasy #15 (August 1962) in the... read more

Of course, Spider-Man is it. Recorded him saying "Super Model" and now I can't stop listening to it. He is the King of Marvel Comics, which gives him an early win.

Makes me laugh when he says the word "super model."

Maxed out web warrior, web shield, and web bullets make him unstoppable.

2 Iron Man Iron Man is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, as well as its associated media. The character was created by writer and editor Stan Lee, developed by scripter Larry Lieber, and designed by artists Don Heck and Jack Kirby. He made his first appearance... read more
3 Iceman Iceman is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics and is a founding member of the X-Men.
4 Wolverine Wolverine is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, commonly associated with the X-Men. His powers and abilities include a healing factor and his signature adamantium claws and adamantium skeleton.

Wolverine is the best damn hero out there, bub! How could some guy who shoots webs and has sticky tape on his hands or a cocky guy with a shield be in front of the beast who can regenerate in health and have three deadly, unbreakable adamantium claws that can slash through anything?

It's either Wolverine or Deadpool. But when you absolutely, positively have to kill something, you choose Wolverine. My favorite one to play, though, is Captain America. I just love throwing the shield.

Seems to drain enemies' life faster than anyone else.

5 Ghost Rider Ghost Rider is the name of several fictional supernatural antiheroes appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

Resurrect allies. Steal health from enemies for your team. Tracking, ambiguous ranged fireball as his first unlockable attack. A grab smash that can be repeated without breaking the grab. Chain frenzy grab holds enemies in place or knocks them down at your feet. 100% critical hits on airborne targets with chain flechette. Fear for clutches. Penance stare for near-infinite energy. Spreading fire damage from damnation. A radial attack that pops enemies up for a little safety. Best character in the game. The resurrect allies ability can work on himself.

6 Deadpool Deadpool is a fictional antihero created by Marvel who appears in their comics. Deadpool's first appearance was in New Mutants #98 by Rob Liefeld and Fabian Nicieza in February of 1991. His powers include self-healing and super strength. He is regarded as one of the funniest characters in comics due... read more

He is just plain AWESOME! He's got some really kickass superpowers like grenade toss and teleport flurry (or something like that). Plus, he can regenerate his health and teleport as well! I also like the way he talks to the player. And did I mention he is so AWESOME?

You want a funny killing machine? You have it! I mean, man, this guy is awesome with guns, swords, and he can't die even if he wants to! So, suck it, Wolverine!

Deadpool should be number one, hands down! He is the most badass dude in the history of comic books!

7 Storm Storm (Ororo Munroe) is a mutant superhero appearing in Marvel Comics. Her first appearance was in Giant-Size X-Men #1 in 1975 and was created by Len Wein and Dave Cockrum. Her main super power is weather manipulation.

Come on, Storm is one of the best. Her powers are awesome, and she looks like such a badass in her retro uniform.

8 Blade Blade is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer Marv Wolfman and penciller Gene Colan, his first appearance was in the comic book The Tomb of Dracula #10 as a supporting character.
9 Thor Thor Odinson is a fictional superhero appearing in the American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character, based on the Norse mythological deity of the same name, is the Asgardian god of thunder and possesses the enchanted hammer Mjolnir, which grants him the ability of flight and weather... read more

I love it when he says "Onward to battle." He is one of the most handsome characters there are.

10 Silver Surfer The Silver Surfer is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Born Norrin Radd, the Silver Surfer's abilities are given to him through the Power Cosmic. His first appearance was in Fantastic Four #48 in 1966 and was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. He was... read more
The Contenders

He was a World War II veteran and is known as the world's first superhero. The character was created by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon and... read more

Cap should easily be in a top spot. His shield throw is almost always a guaranteed knockdown. It can hit opponents who are already on the ground, and his shield bash does respectable damage.

Toss in his boost, and you have a hero who can handle crowd control as well as single combat. Toss shield, knock everyone down, let a support hero step in, and hit them with an area attack while Cap keeps them on the ground.

Greatest striking power, and a lot of his attacks ensure knockdown. Perfect team member. I use him in every battle.

13 Black Panther T'Challa, better known as the Black Panther, is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in 1966, first appearing in Fantastic Four #52 (cover-dated July 1966) in the Silver Age of Comic Books. He is known to be the... read more

He has good melee damage output, but his stealth paired with his crippling blow makes him a force to be reckoned with.

14 Daredevil Daredevil is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Daredevil was created by writer-editor Stan Lee and artist Bill Everett, with an unspecified amount of input from Jack Kirby... read more

If you max out his extensive strike and the one where he flings the person up, it will be a one-hit kill on most enemies.

15 Moon Knight Moon Knight is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Doug Moench and Don Perlin, the character first appeared in Werewolf by Night #32. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he is portrayed by Oscar Isaac.

Moon Knight is my favorite Marvel character, period. He is underrated but awesome. More people need to read his comics. He is better than Batman.

16 Black Widow Natalia Alianovna Romanova, most known as Natasha Romanoff or the Black Widow, is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. She is one of the most talented spies and assassins in the entire world and is a founding member of the Avengers. The character was created... read more
17 Spider-Woman Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew) is a fictional superheroine appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

I LOVE Spider-Woman! She is probably one of my most used characters with the other females. Her venom and bio-electric blasts are very handy, especially for boss characters. And I don't know, I just love her voice in the game.

18 Mister Fantastic Mister Fantastic is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character is a founding member of the Fantastic Four.

Fantastic Fist with elastic crush kills enemies instantly and bosses quickly.

Fantastic Fist kills enemies almost instantly when fully upgraded.

19 Doctor Doom Doctor Victor Von Doom, better known as Doctor Doom, is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character usually is a villain of the Fantastic Four. He debuted in The Fantastic Four #5.

Doom Shield is a very good defensive power, allowing you to reflect all projectiles and beams shot at you. His Classic costume allows you to reflect damage back at enemies, causing up to 125% of the original attack's damage. By using Shield and upgrading reflection and defense, you will be a defensive monster. Also, Mask of Doom does a lot of damage, but the downfall is that it only hits one enemy at a time. This is best against bosses or elites.
