With his dual-blades and Leeroy Jenkins-style fighting technique, Drax could be an absolute blast in Marvel Rivals, especially if his abilities promote a style of play that includes running straight into the fray rather than planning any kind of reasonable attack strat

Their first fight was out of necessity, but Deadpool returned to eventually antagonize Wolverine into a rematch. While they may not see eye to eye, the duo has teamed up quite successfully over the years, and a reluctant respect has formed between them. Despite that, Wolverine and the Merc With a Mouth never miss an opportunity renew their “professional” riva

While **Marvel’s Spider-Man seems to have greater web swinging than Marvel Rivals ** so far, especially with Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 giving players the option to make this more physics-based by turning off the swing assist, there is one area that Marvel Rivals seems to be doing better than Insomniac. In the interior levels of the Marvel’s Spider-Man games, Peter and Miles are usually encouraged to use web zip to get around – or web lines in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 – but climbing from walls to the ceiling has always felt a bit clunkier compared to the rest of the characters’ movem

Wolverine has been around the block, and over the years he has had lengthy rivalries with characters that have become lifelong enemies. Romulus on the other hand came into Logan’s life relatively recently in the comic book timeline but had apparently been orchestrating his doom for centur

Crossplay is a feature that has become almost standard in most big games, doubly so in PvP-focused titles. It is a system that brings the community together, while also making matchmaking smoother with smaller queue times. The system isn’t perfect, as it still suffers from this source cheating and console aim assist , but those are small outliers the majority of the time. These are also avoided by the ability to turn crossplay off, or restricting lobbies based on platforms unless the party queuing is mi

Carol Danvers’ power set is no joke, as evidenced in Avengers Endgame when she burst through a spaceship. A resident not just of Earth but of many different planets throughout the galaxy, Captain Marvel is well-experienced, bringing tactics and techniques from across the galaxy. Her inclusion as a Vanguard in Marvel Rivals would seem like a natural cho

Marvel Rivals is a 6v6 competitive shooter that has some MOBA-like aspects. Players compete in various game modes taking place on maps from across the Marvel franchise. The heroes are split into three roles: Vanguard, Duelist, and Strategist. Some confirmed Marvel Rivals heroes so far include: Iron Man, Hulk, Spider-Man, and Black Panther. Some unconfirmed but leaked/theorized heroes include Thor, Hawkeye, Captain America, Venom, Blade, and m

Being one of Marvel Comic’s oldest and most consistent villains means that Magneto has had beef with nearly every hero at some point. Though Wolverine isn’t often the object of Erik Lehnsherr’s evil intentions, his metal skeleton makes him putty in Magneto’s ha

Wolverine has had his run-ins with authority figures in the past, and it is a bit of an understatement to say that he doesn’t like to be told what to do. This chafing against authority brought him in direct conflict with Cyclops, but their rivalry goes so much deeper than a clash over hierar

Shang-Chi’s mastery of his chi could be used to buff or heal himself or allies, and his mastery of martial arts could enable him to go up against whatever fighter steps his way. Since Shang-Chi relies on a mastery of technique to hold his own, he could be a character with a low-skill floor but a high-skill ceil

Both iterations of the Fantastic Four movies – no, I am not including the 1994 Roger Corman one as it wasn’t officially released – have botched Dr. Doom in many ways over the years. Not only did both the 2005 film and its 2015 reboot tie Doom’s origins closely to the titular heroic team’s – he blamed his disfigurement on The Fantastic Four’s Reed Richards (aka. Mr Fantastic) in many iterations, but he wasn’t involved in the mission in which the heroes got their powers – but they also removed many key elements that made Doom such a threat in the comics.

Marvel Gaming revealed its new, Marvel Studios-esque branding at the convention to further synergize the overall Marvel brand alongside a new cinematic trailer for its multiversal third-person hero shooter, Marvel Rivals . The Marvel Rivals footage gave players their first look at the game’s versions of Dr. Doom and came alongside the announcement of two new characters that are joining the game’s current Closed Beta playtest, Thor and Jeff the Land Shark, the latter of whom stole the show in some adorable foot

Equip him with his yellow hoverchair alongside his telepathic powers, and Professor X could be a very different style of Vanguard from the rest already in the game. Rather than focusing on physical strength, Professor X could use his telepathic powers to lessen the damage his enemies deal or otherwise impair their abilit
