FANTASTIC FOUR: MARVEL RIVALS Unveils First Official Look At Character Designs For Marvel's First Family

Marvel Rivals has proven to be immensely popular since launching on PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on December 6, with gamers anxiously awaiting the debut of new playable characters as the roster continues to grow.

One group of superheroes that have been conspicuous by their absence up until now is The Fantastic Four, and NetEase has now officially unveiled our first look at The Thing, the Human Torch, Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, and H.E.R.B.I.E. the robot.

We don't anticipate these character designs being particularly controversial (at least not to the same degree as Wolverine's), although Reed Richards' longer hair and full beard may not go over very well with some fans.

Along with the teaser image, NetEase has announced that the Marvel Rivals Season 1 trailer will drop next week on Monday, January 6, 2025, at 8:00 AM PST / 11:00 AM EST / 16:00 UTC.

Check out the image below, along with some previously-released promotional videos.

Marvel Rivals is a Super Hero team-based PVP shooter! Assemble an all-star Marvel squad, devise countless strategies by combining powers to form unique Team-Up skills and fight in destructible, ever-changing battlefields across the continually evolving Marvel Universe!

The story follows a hostile meeting between Doctor Doom and his heroic 2099 counterpart, which causes a timestream entanglement that leads to new worlds being created and heroes and villains from across the multiverse fighting one another to defeat both Doom variants before one claims victory over the new worlds

@KennKathleen - Sadly, yeah. But look at her bust-to-hip-to-waist ratio here. Absolute mockery of Jack Kirby's creation.

Looking forward to these additions. Game has been a lot of fun with friends and my kids just over Jeff.

Looks like a huge success and I really don't see myself ever going back to Overwatch after this

@Evansly - ever since overwatch put 6v6 back in, I can't put it down

@Vigor - How was the rebalancing with the tanks? I saw some Rein movement on his charge was removed and he lost his other strike.

I did love Ball but he didn't work in a 1 tank game.

Did they nerf Sigma in any way? Daddy skin is where it's at

@Evansly - i play dps and support. So unfortunately I can't comment on the tanks

Ill say tho that now I can 1v1 a tank and win. Nothing against tanks. It just means they have less HP since there's two of them.

Ball is back to being annoying AF

@Vigor - Cool, maybe I'll check it out if things fizzle out with Rivals. I just didn't find the Overwatch 2 captured the magic of the original and ended up hating playing and switched to Helldivers 2
Vigor
Vigor - 1/2/2025, 6:07 PM
@Evansly - i dont know when you switched away from overwatch2 but I'll say there have been a LOT of characters and maps and modes added

Also the events are so frequent. It seems like every 2 weeks there's some themed event along with skins

I would like to try Rivals. I'll see about giving it a try this weekend

@Vigor - I quit around Mauga being released but I had stopped loving it well before that.

One thing with Rivals is that combos are key, there is a great practice range and the character screen can give recommendations on how to combine your abilities. There are also tons of videos if you end up really enjoying it that can set you up nicely. Overwatch content creator RauKnows has lots of great shorts that are detailed but also very succinct

@Evansly - Yeah, but remember mute everyone you don't know in public games, one of the most toxic player base I have seen in a while, lol.

The game is super stif if you ask me. Controls kinda suck.

@Order66 - it's slower than molasses. The character animation speed is awful. But I think they did that for balancing purposes.

Sue might be too hot. Prepare for backlash. 🤣

@thedrudo - I'm not understanding your logic here. Why would there be backlash?
thedrudo
thedrudo - 1/2/2025, 3:20 PM
@ItsNotForMeWahh - It's just something going on in the gaming industry where some groups are upset that female characters look too attractive.

comicfan100 - 1/2/2025, 4:06 PM
@thedrudo - I've seen more complaints about normal looking women looking too ugly, but go off I guess.
ItsNotForMeWahh
ItsNotForMeWahh - 1/2/2025, 4:19 PM
@thedrudo - Seems weird. I see more people complaining characters aren't attractive enough for their tastes
Gabimaru
Gabimaru - 1/2/2025, 5:17 PM
@comicfan100 - oh don't play dumb we all know why there's a push for bringing attractive female characters specially in western media that are too afraid now of the female being too attractive. And the fan backlash are pushing this time.
thedrudo
thedrudo - 1/2/2025, 5:18 PM
@ItsNotForMeWahh - I think that’s become a thing as a result of them intentionally (studios will disagree) making some of these female characters look less female and unattractive.
thedrudo
thedrudo - 1/2/2025, 5:20 PM
@Gabimaru - I thought I was going crazy because this is a BIG thing happening in games and it’s been going on for awhile now. I wouldn’t call myself a typical gamer but it’s highly discussed all over the internet so I knew I can’t be the only one aware of it.

@thedrudo - I don't see how the attractiveness of a female character is essential to gameplay.

I saw lots of people crying over a trailer that showed no game play because a woman was bald and saw a lot of people bitching about Ciri not being some model but I can't say I've seen anyone whining about characters being too attractive.
Gabimaru
Gabimaru - 1/2/2025, 6:15 PM
@ItsNotForMeWahh - it's not even the attractiveness anymore it's the smugness of these western developers think they know better and insult or lecture the gaming community that is majority of men. And i even see female gamers that are also tired of these woke nonsense and they also want to bring back these female characters that they once love.
ItsNotForMeWahh
ItsNotForMeWahh - 1/2/2025, 6:27 PM
@Gabimaru - So you are insulted when female characters are not attractive enough?

How is having someone look like an average woman lecturing?
Gabimaru
Gabimaru - 1/2/2025, 7:49 PM
@ItsNotForMeWahh - Oh good another playing dumb individual.
ItsNotForMeWahh
ItsNotForMeWahh - 1/2/2025, 8:01 PM
@Gabimaru - I am trying to understand your point and YOUR words. So please elaborate for me.
comicfan100
comicfan100 - 1/2/2025, 10:23 PM
@Gabimaru - I'm not playing dumb. This game has been out for a month and it's full of hot women AND men and no one has been complaining about it. Dude is just making up an issue in which there isn't one.
comicfan100
comicfan100 - 1/2/2025, 10:26 PM
@ItsNotForMeWahh - They don't have to make sense. They have to make up issues to get angry about to carry on the culture war. It's honestly loser behavior.
ItsNotForMeWahh
ItsNotForMeWahh - 1/3/2025, 11:45 AM
@comicfan100 - It is absolutely loser behavior to put the value of a game on the looks of the characters. That goes for the folks that complain they aren't attractive enough and those supposed ones that complain they are too attractive.

We are fortunate to be I'm an era where graphics are able to be realistic but gameplay is still the most important factor.

Additionally, people can most certainly have their preferences but just move on to a game you like instead of bitching they aren't hot enough. So much wasted energy on things that make them moody

Reed needs a haircut, the Thing looks cool, especially that large chin, and yes Sue looks hot.

If they had just cast John Krasinski and Emily Blunt, the chemistry would have been unhinged levels of great. Pedro just plays Pedro and every time we see him with that mustache we will think oh there's Pedro, not OH that's Reed.
