The inclusion of Mr. Fantastic in Marvel Rivals has ignited a vibrant dialogue among gamers and comic book enthusiasts alike. While many players have lauded his entertaining gameplay, certain elements of his design have faced constructive critiques.

Since the launch of its first season on January 10, NetEase Games’ 6v6 superhero shooter has garnered significant player engagement, with high volumes of participation. The recent update, titled Eternal Night Falls, expanded the character lineup to include The Fantastic Four. With the introduction of Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman, the fanbase has been buzzing, particularly following a recent Reddit discussion initiated by Smash96leo, where players expressed their thoughts on the new character.

Mr. Fantastic: An Intriguing Addition to Marvel Rivals

Versatile Role and Visual Design

A Hybrid Role: Support Tank or Duelist?

Although Mr. Fantastic is classified as a Duelist within Marvel Rivals, his capabilities have often been likened to those of a “support tank.”Reflecting his origins in comic lore, his stretching abilities are integral to his combat style, featuring attacks such as Reflexive Rubber, which not only absorb damage but also redirect it back at adversaries. A user on Reddit, PaintAccomplished515, eloquently summarized this hybrid playability by stating, “he’s flexible. Able to be a bit of a tank, a bit of a support, a bit of a DPS.” Players have found humor in Mr. Fantastic’s versatile gameplay, regardless of whether this flexibility was a design intent.

He [Mr. Fantastic] should not be seen as a tank, but like a support tank; if the team has no tank he is useless, but if the team has one tank he can kinda help out. One strategy I’ve found with Luna Snow is to put your E on him and focus healing the other tank, works great – Xx_Infinito_xX, Reddit

The arrival of Mr. Fantastic and Invisible Woman has certainly energized the Marvel Rivals roster, though their efficacy in competitive gameplay remains uncertain. Observers are curious if Mr. Fantastic’s versatile nature could pave the way for a 1-3-2 team composition, deviating from the traditional 2-2-2 meta, particularly in off-tank scenarios. Meanwhile, while Invisible Woman has been recognized for her enjoyable play style, her healing talents and gameplay complexity don’t quite reach the level of characters like Luna Snow or Mantis.
