Marvel Rivals has released a trailer showcasing gameplay for the Duelist Mister Fantastic. The footage features Reed Richards stretching his arms to strike enemies, grabbing two foes and slamming them together. He also inflates his body to a muscular form, reminiscent of Hulk, to pummel opponents. His ultimate ability involves repeatedly jumping and slamming down on the enemy team, similar to The Winter Soldier. There's speculation among players that The Fantastic Four might launch with a Seasonal Bonus in Marvel Rivals, though this remains unconfirmed.

While official details on other Fantastic Four members are scarce, recent leaks have revealed Human Torch's ability kit. According to the leaks, Human Torch can create walls of flame to control battlefield areas and collaborate with Storm to generate fire tornadoes, posing a significant threat to enemies. Leaks also suggest that The Thing will be classified as a Vanguard in Marvel Rivals, though his abilities are still undisclosed.
Rumors have circulated about characters like Blade and Ultron potentially joining Marvel Rivals soon, but the developers have clarified that The Fantastic Four will be the only characters debuting in Season 1. Initially, many leakers anticipated Ultron as part of the initial roster, but it now appears he may be delayed until Season 2 or later. The absence of any mention of Blade, given his rivalry with Dracula, has surprised many players. With a wealth of new content on the horizon, the future of Marvel Rivals looks promising, generating excitement among its player base.
