Monster Hunter

The Monster Hunter (voiced by Melissa Hutchison) is the representative of the Monster Hunter franchise. This Hunter is an original female character who simply goes by her title, and hails from Val Habar, which is merged with the fictional Marvel Universe African nation of Wakanda to form Valkanda, due to the convergence of the Marvel and Capcom worlds as a result of Ultron and Sigma merging into Ultron Sigma, and is a loyal servant of Black Panther, the king of the merged nation. She appears as a non-playable character in story mode, and later becomes playable in arcade mode as downloadable content.

Unlike most other characters in the Marvel vs. Capcom series, this Monster Hunter is not based on a particular iteration of a character and is instead mostly original. This is because the playable monster hunters in the main Monster Hunter games act as silent protagonists and are defined by the player in appearance and gear, functioning the player's avatar in the world.
