Surprisingly good Doom Match characters.

[Null Winter]

Winter Soldier and Wolverine seem popular and strong since their 1v1 lockdown potential is absurd, but some odd picks seem to work well especially for folks just trying to complete challenges.

Core notes:

Most of the people playing the mode are average wannabe DPS mains; they can stay on target but tend to have tunnel vision.

Every match I see devolves into people all congregating around a central point in a cycle of dying, respawning, and running right back in.

Self-healing/temporary HP is generally strong since most characters are dependent on health packs or kills. Outlast and conquer!

Slow fire rate characters suffer as each missed shot is potentially fatal and other players might finish your target.

Cloak & Dagger are wonderful and braindead. Drop Dagger's HOT AOE and sit in it while draining with Cloak; against the average wannabe DPS brain, you'll win the battle of attrition. Cloak's constant damage is great for stealing kills, and he can fade out to escape melee combos, dodge ults, get up or down a floor, and mind-game around corners and portals. Their ult also makes them effectively immortal (outside of absurd burst) as an escape option, covers the main battleground that people keep respawning around, and can steal kills with DOT or finish people trying to escape; while the trails are active, you basically own the "point".

Mr. Fantastic has a good panic button that reflects damage, an automatic hit chasing tool with 2 charges, and constant temp-HP gain. He also requires no accuracy.

Namor has perfectly accurate turrets that solo players don't have time to break when being attacked by multiple people and an invulnerable escape tool. Self-explanatory.

The map is full of narrow tunnels, so Squirrel Girl can easily get a root and pop someone before they escape. Her high AOE damage can also allow her to not only steal a kill but take out both fighters! She does suffer in open areas, though, and should stick to ambushes or roaming the smaller areas.

I get high points on Jeff with hit and run tactics... He deals damage, can move around the map quickly and self heals...

I considered him, but his fire rate is just a bit too slow for my tastes and his ult is wholly dependent on waiting to snatch up a lot of low HP people for the weak DOT to end them or for the "fight core" to develop in one of the map sections with a ledge which is beyond your control.

Grab multiple people fighting each other and you can get multiple garuntee'd kills when they get their health low enough.

The most success I've ever had in Doommatch was with Thor, he's the only Hero I have consistently won them with.

Thor is a monster in doom match due to his tankiness and damage output. You can do a lot with him.

I see a lot of folks going Thor and Hulk only to be focused down by everyone else first due to the "shoot big scary thing first" primal instinct.

I just avoid tank characters unless they're almost dead. They take too long to kill, by the time you get them down someone else has probably spotted you and is attempt to kill one or both of you and steal your kills.

That match I posted above I kept stealing Thors kills because he takes so long and when I steal it I run away because he's slow and easy to out run as Jeff lol.

Tanks are big targets too... They're easy to notice and get focused down by groups of people because of it.
