Fantastic Four Joins Battle in Marvel Rivals

The new season of our favorite game has kicked off with a bang, introducing the iconic Fantastic Four characters to an already impressive roster of 33 heroes. It's a thrilling time for players as the developers continue to expand the game's universe with fresh and exciting additions. Two members of the Fantastic Four, Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman, have already made their debut, with Thing and Human Torch set to join the fray later as a tank and a duelist, respectively. These characters will enhance the gameplay with their unique Team-Up abilities, making the Fantastic Four a formidable team.

Who Are the New Heroes?

The first wave of the Fantastic Four to join the game are **Mister Fantastic** and **Invisible Woman**. They bring new dynamics to the game, with Thing and Human Torch slated to follow as a tank and a duelist, respectively, rounding out the Team-Up Fantastic Four.

Invisible Woman

Invisible Woman introduces a much-needed diversity to the support role, a category that's relatively underrepresented in the game. Her unique abilities allow her attacks to pass through any number of characters, dealing damage to enemies while simultaneously healing allies. This makes her particularly effective in crowded battles, although her maximum range requires her to stay close to her team.

One of her standout features is her ability to turn invisible, requiring her to remain inactive for 6 seconds, a challenging condition in the heat of battle. However, this invisibility comes with the added benefit of self-healing. A more practical method for going invisible is through a double jump, which serves as a vital escape mechanism.

With a press of the right mouse button, she can deploy a shield in front of an ally, offering temporary protection and healing to those nearby. Her ability to attract and repel opponents adds versatility to her kit, useful for both defensive maneuvers and setting up attacks.

Invisible Woman's sphere attack can pull enemies into a designated area, dealing damage and controlling the battlefield, particularly effective in narrow passages. Her melee combo, while less practical due to its duration, can push enemies away, offering a brief respite.

Her ultimate ability creates a healing and invisibility zone for the team, though its static nature makes it vulnerable to enemy area attacks. Overall, Invisible Woman is a balanced character, offering tactical depth and team support, though she doesn't outshine top-tier supports like Luna Snow and Mantis.

Mister Fantastic

Mister Fantastic brings a fun and unique twist to the game with his stretchy abilities. His attacks can reach enemies at medium range, and by aiming sideways during an attack, his fists can hit multiple targets.

His abilities and attacks fill a meter that, once full, transforms him into an inflated form, increasing his damage output and durability.

Using "Shift," Mister Fantastic can absorb damage temporarily and then unleash it in a powerful shot. He can also attract characters, gaining a shield, and inflict damage or protect allies, enhancing his battlefield mobility and survivability.

His right mouse button ability allows him to immobilize an opponent with his extended arm, offering the choice to pull them closer or throw another enemy into the air, adding to his control over the battlefield.

Mister Fantastic's ultimate ability involves a leap and area attack that slows and damages opponents, repeating if he hits at least one enemy, reminiscent of Bucky's ultimate but often less effective.

Positioned between a duelist and a tank, Mister Fantastic offers a strong yet not top-tier gameplay experience.

The addition of Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman has been met with positive feedback, showcasing the developers' commitment to creating unique and engaging characters. As we look forward to the arrival of Thing and Human Torch, the excitement for the rest of the season continues to build.
