How to beat Spider-Man
Duelist · Marvel Rivals
The best counters to Spider-Man right now are The Thing, Devil Dinosaur, and Mister Fantastic, led by The Thing at a +3.2 counter rating. Every hero below is ranked by how hard they beat Spider-Man in real duels and teamfights, all ranks, updated Jul 9, 2026.
Ratings blend one-on-one duel wins (two thirds) with teamfight impact (one third), from the kill feeds of community matches. Each hero's general strength is stripped out, so a high rating means the matchup itself is lopsided, not that the hero is simply strong. Match win rate is excluded on purpose: it punishes counter picks made from behind. Counters that work by absorbing or denying damage rather than dealing it, like Magneto's shields, are understated by kill data. So are counters that only come online while a team-up is active.
