Marvel Rivals already had a massive roster of heroes when it launched, and even now fans have been shown leaks of incoming characters like Ultron and Fantastic Four members like Reed Richards and Johnny Storm.
What’s interesting is, there looks to be more incoming characters that have yet to be announced, and they feature some very obscure ones that should be a treat for any comic fan. According to @MRivalsUpdates, fans should expect the arrival of Angela, Hit-Monkey, Deadpool, Captain Marvel, and MODOK in the game.
Angela is probably one of the more obscure characters to be mentioned in the roster, but Aldrif Odinsdottir was introduced way back in 2013 and was created by Neil Gaiman, Todd McFarlane, and Brian Michael Bendis. She’s the daughter of Odin who was raised by Angels, and was even a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy. If anything, it’s like she’s the anti-version of Hela.
As for the other characters, they’ve been adapted several ways across different mediums. Besides their TV and movie appearances, Deadpool, Captain Marvel, and MODOK have been playable in games like Marvel vs. Capcom. Hit-Monkey was popular enough to get his own animated series.
We should expect each characters’ abilities to leak somewhere down the line, but so far, the roster does seem expected, what with all the characters they’ve managed to bring in for Rivals so far.
I’m just here hoping there are plans for Gwenpool down the line because it would be so unfair that she’s playable in Fortnite and not a game where her pet Jeff the Land Shark is a playable character.
Marvel Rivals is now available for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
