With the new update, every character is going to have two Attributes that give them bonus damage on top of whatever that Attribute does for every hero. For some, it's pretty easy to predict what those will be. They already have two Attributes that are higher than everything else, making it likely those are also associated with them thematically and are obvious choices to fill that role. Other characters are not so clear cut, with multiple strong Attributes or have in-game Attributes that contradict other Marvel sources. In these cases, there's a lot more room for debate.
So I made this thread. Now we can have good old fashion schoolyard debate that will amount to little beyond wild speculation. (But I enjoy wild speculation.) I split up the heroes between the ones with strong existing stat biases and less obvious ones, but nothing here is sacred. Like, it could be argued that Marvel is way to liberal handing out the Fighting rating and just because someone is skilled in it doesn't mean it's a particularly iconic aspect of their character. If half the roster ends up scaling off Fighting, have we really moved away from the current system.

More Uncertain or Debatable
- Angela
- Ant-Man
- Black Widow
- Blade
- Captain America: Fighting/Strength are his top in game, but other sources spread him around much more evenly.
- Captain Marvel
- Daredevil
- Doctor Doom
- Elektra
- Green Goblin
- Hawkeye
- Iron Fist
- Iron Man
- Jean Grey: Fighting/Energy in game, but the Phoenix complicates things. Energy is a no brainer, but would Durability fit better thematically as a second?
- Loki: Durability/Energy are his top Attributes, but I imagine people could argue Intelligence fits over Durability in regards to his character theme.
- Magik
- Magneto: Energy/Intelligence is his top by a slight amount, but Durability is a close second, ties for top at L60 and is certainly a meaningful component of his character.
- Moon Knight
- Punisher
- Rocket Raccoon: Is Fighting/Energy in game, but other sources top him at Fighting/Intelligence.
- Rogue: Clearly Durability/Strength by default, but will be interesting to see if she can change her primary stats by stealing passives.
- Scarlet Witch
- She-Hulk
- Silver Surfer
- Spider-Man
- Star-Lord
- Storm: In game highs are Speed/Energy. Other sources give her high Intelligence and Fighting as well.
- Thor
- Ultron
- Winter Soldier
