*"Look at you... pale reflections of your true selves! You don't even remember what it is to be heroes anymore... but the Civil Warrior is here to remind you!"*
—Civil Warrior[src]

**Civil Warrior** is a Tech Champion. Being a Tech Champion, he has a Class Bonus against Mutant Champions, but is weak to Cosmic Champions.

## Bio

There are many rumors about the origins of the mysterious Civil Warrior... legend says he is a Captain America from an alternate Earth ravaged by the Civil War between his own army and Iron Man's forces. On that world, the two heroes mortally wounded each other in the final battle of the war; Steve survived, but Tony didn't. Riddled with guilt for the battle's destruction and the death of his former ally at his own hands, he assumed the mantle of the Civil Warrior. Adding Tony's ARC technology to his Captain America gear, he vowed to use his friend's legacy to stop this senseless conflict from ever happening again.

## Mechanics

Stack tons of Fury with Civil Warrior, unleash his array of utility to get massive damage, or keep the opponent under your control for the fight.

## Abilities

**Always Active**

* Civil Warrior’s combination of Super Soldier Serum and advanced Stark Tech renders him Immune to Nullify and Stagger effects.
* For each Armor Up Buff active on Civil Warrior, reduce the opponent’s Bleed and Poison Ability Accuracy by 25%.

**Personal Armor Up Buffs**

* Unless otherwise stated, Civil Warrior’s Armor Up Buffs provide +*X* Armor Rating and last 11 seconds.

**All Attacks**

* Every 5th basic attack that either Champion throws has a 100% chance to grant 1 Armor Up Buff.

**Dash back and Hold Block for 1.2 seconds**

* Civil Warrior converts all of his Armor Up Buffs into Fury Buffs, with each providing +*X* Attack Rating for 12 seconds.

* These Fury Buffs have a Max Stack of 50 and are Refreshed each time an Armor Up Buff is converted this way.

**Heavy Attacks**

* 100% chance to inflict a 10 second Heal Block Debuff, preventing the target from recovering Health.

## Signature Ability

**Arc Shield** - Always Active

* Civil Warrior begins the fight with 2 indefinite Armor Up Buffs.
* Blocking during the opponent’s Special Attack inflicts them with a Passive Weakness, reducing their Attack Rating by *X*%. This is also true if Civil Warrior was Blocking prior to a Special Attack 3.

*Dev Notes: If you accidentally get an opponent to Special 3, and don’t have an Special 2 or 3 on deck to pull them down, make sure to just hold block to get some massive damage reduction from the attack!*

## Special Attacks

* When launched: Pause all Armor Up Buffs for 20 seconds.
* On hit: Pause all Heal Block Debuffs on the opponent for 6 seconds.

**Special 1 - Arc Blast**

*I have seen this war.*

* Gain up to 4 Armor Up Buffs. 100% chance each.

**Special 2 - Repulsor Rush**

*I have fought this fight.*

* 100% chance to Power Burn 2 Bar(s) of Power, dealing direct damage proportional to the amount of Power lost.

**Special 3 - Overload**

*I must end it at any cost.*

* The opponent is Passively Power Locked during this attack.
* 100% chance to inflict Power Drain, removing 1 Bar of Power. If the target is reduced to 0 Power, they also receive a Power Lock Debuff for 14 seconds, preventing them from gaining Power.

*Dev Notes: Gain a ton of control in a long fight after stacking your Fury with some massive power locks. I love to ramp Civil Warrior up, then power lock the opponent to let me get some long Back-Draft combos going.*

## Trivia

* In 2016, in order to celebrate Captain America's 75th anniversary, seven Marvel games created unique versions of Captain America. *Marvel: Contest of Champions* was one of the first to explore the idea of creating a unique version of Captain America while Kabam was in the midst of developing *Cosmic Civil War* and *Cosmic Civil War: Endgame*, which led to the creation of Civil Warrior.
	+ Other characters from this event include Peggy Carter (Captain America) from *Marvel Puzzle Quest* and Knight America from *Marvel: Avengers Alliance*.
* Civil Warrior is the second character to be created exclusively for *Marvel: Contest of Champions*. The first was Guillotine.
