About this tool

This is an unofficial fan tool. Marvel, its characters and related marks are trademarks of Marvel and Disney. MCU and Marvel Rivals tags follow public release information and the Marvel Rivals list was last checked against Season 10 in September 2026, so very recent additions may be missing.

How this Random Marvel Character Generator works

This random Marvel character generator draws from a curated database of Marvel characters covering Marvel Comics, the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the Marvel Rivals hero roster. Each record stores the hero name, real name, alignment (hero, villain or anti-hero), gender, team memberships, an ability list, whether the character has appeared in the live-action MCU, their Marvel Rivals role if they are a playable hero, and the comic of first appearance where it is documented.

When you press Generate, your filters are applied first, then characters are drawn from the matching pool with a uniform shuffle, so each match has the same chance and nothing repeats inside one draw. Power types such as flight, magic or mind powers are worked out from each character's ability list, and the counts beside every filter update live so you can see how many characters remain before you generate.

Everything runs in your browser with client-side JavaScript. No account is needed, your filters and picks are not sent anywhere, and saved favorites stay in your browser's local storage.
