How to Unlock Characters in Marvel Alliance 3: The Black Order
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order has 36 characters with more due to be released in the form of DLC packs which will feature the Fantastic Four, more X-Men, and the characters from Marvel Knights. Currently there are 10 playable characters that you can use at the start of the game. To unlock the entire roster you will need to either progress through the game to reach a particular chapter or complete a certain requirement. Our 'How to Unlock All Characters' page will tell you how to get each of the heroes.
Most of the heroes in Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order get unlocked automatically by simply progressing through the game. It is important to remember though that each and every character has their own level progression which means you will have to level all of them up independently.
There are four characters (Elektra, Magneto, Loki, and Thanos) that need a certain requirement to be met to unlock (bottom of the list below).
