The friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man is a popular and unique superhero, making him one of the top choices for players in Marvel Rivals. The duelist is hard to master in Marvel Rivals, as his difficulty is rated as 5 stars. Spider-Man is a powerful melee fighter with unmatchable agility that allows him to swing webs around the arena and quickly close the gaps. 

However, if someone finds a way to use him effectively, then he will become a formidable nemesis to encounter. So, you should check out his strengths and weaknesses before picking a fight against him. You can rely on these characters in Marvel Rivals to effectively counter Spider-Man and negate his powers during the fight.

1) Namor

Namor is one of the most reliable counters against characters with high mobility, such as Spider-Man. His Aquatic Dominion ability will be a perfect counter against them.

By activating the ability, he summons a Monstro Spawn. It attacks nearby enemies automatically like a turret, which will become a huge downfall for Spider-Man, as he relies heavily on his mobility to evade attacks.

2) Black Widow

Black Widow, one of the world’s most elite spies, can become a deadly counter to Spider-Man. The trained spy is effective in neutralizing most of the duelists and strategists. As a sniper expert, she can potentially one-shot characters with minimal base health using her Straight Shooter ability.

However, tracking a high-mobility character like Spider-Man is quite challenging for her. So, you need to master Black Widow to execute this plan. Additionally, Spider-Man’s close-range attacks can be countered by Black Widow’s Edge Dancer ability. 

3) Mantis

Mantis is not only the best strategist but also the easiest one to master in Marvel Rivals. She can instantly heal and boost damage by consuming Life Orb. Her ‘Spore Slumber’ ability stuns the nearby enemy upon throwing, which potentially immobilizes Spider-Man for a few seconds. She can also nullify Spider-Man’s melee attacks by healing instantly using Life Orb. 

4) Doctor Strange

We saw Spider-Man locking up Doctor Strange in another dimension in the No Way Home movie, but that is not the case here in Marvel Rivals. Doctor Strange’s powerful dark magic and spells effectively counter Spider-Man’s webs. 

His Pentagram of Farallah can confuse Spider-Man and offer a way to ambush and attack him. Additionally, Doctor Strange can easily block and counter most of Spider-Man’s attacks with his OP ability, Shield of the Seraphim. 

5) Venom

As the arch-enemy of Spider-Man, Venom is perfectly designed for countering the hero. Defeating Venom single-handedly would be difficult for Spider-Man, as he has a health bar of 650, which is almost three times greater than Spider-Man’s. If Spider-Man tries to evade or escape, Venom has everything to pursue him. 

Whether Spider-Man tries to get away by swinging his webs or trying to crawl over the walls, Venom can keep up with his own ‘Venom Swing’ and wall-crawling abilities. This makes Venom one of the formidable counters against Spidey.
